Events; Xtreme International Autoshow: Paid Attractions Part 2
Posted on January 7th, 2009 No comments
This Mini pickup was quite a sight to behold. (Shamefully we don't know the exact model, but its most probably a Mark 4 pickup truck)
After bringing you the first part of the paid segment of the show, let’s continue onto the second segment! Continuing where we left off, the packed VIP-style area quickly led to a very quiet corner of the Stadium Putra; only a few cars were displayed in the nook and crannies leading to the actual badminton courts. The place was rather chilly at this point and coupled with the dim lighting, made for a seram experience!
Together with it was the original Mini Cooper, which we still love (and prefer) over the BMW Mini...go-kart handling FTW!
A closeup of the pickup's rear deck. Today, you can only fit a couple of cartons of beers in it, nothing else. How times have changed!
The missus loves this MyVI. God knows why, but good detail on those flames!
Oh, hai, Bluebird SSS! Let's take a peek into your engine bay since its open for all to see!
Do we see a 13B rotary? The amount of work done on the engine bay alone impresses us!
GReddy's third largest turbo has a prominent residence! Dude! Where's your air filter? We're not living in the Alps you know
More information about the GReddy T88-33D turbine here
A parting shot of the Bluebird SSS with its extremely lovable deep-dish rims
We chisten this the green Hello Kitty Kelisa!
We wish we can say more, but the conflicting color scheme and rims disallows us
They call this the Mini Monster. Figures, it as a force-inducton engine. At the very least, show off its rad-looking 2000 Mini headlights too!
Somebody please just ban this bad boy from our streets. Think of the women (and children)!!
Ah, at last, a track-attack Mini!
This showpiece from the Mini Club looks absolutely stunning!
As we head to the main show floor, located at the stadium floor, we spotted a personality that’s so arresting, we had to stop by just to snap a pic! Helloooooo Big Daddy!
On the main show floor, there were many rides which clamoured for our attention, including this 350Z with a homage to the previous JGTC Calsonic Skyline livery
The plate says it all; this bodykit club has made a cool Bimmer, but can it go fast? Only the owner knows!
A closer look at the additional track at the rear of the E46.
A nice game reference there, but two games on one car? This should have NFS: Undercover on it!
Here are the members of the B1 Bodykit club posing with a model
This is a live demo by Toms Stickers. Taking a Kelisa from zero to a hero in a day is possible these days!
Nice and mean widebody 3. We think its taking its cues from those DTM machines
National cars also look good once they're done up, dont'cha think?
One of the more unique cars on the show floor, name us the chassis!
How cute! A Wira with V9-inspired 'Flying Vag' grille and a fake hand at its numberplate. The cops won't miss this one!
An interesting way to mount your GT wing. Hope it doesn't fly off at 120!
You HAVE to give this Wira some props as his emulation of a JGTC Pitwork Skyline looks quite authentic in its details, down to the center hub-locking Nismo rims. The front though, is a different story alltogether.
Ah, yes, Malaysia's most famous Kancil.
A familiar sight, eh?
This Gen2 has things popping out of its hood......let's take a closer look!
Meters out from the hood! Cool? Yes. Practical? Definitely not! LOL
A movie-inspired Celica. Nice paintjob, missing the lightbar, though
Another famous showcar, the 'Alien' Audi Wira
Ford Laser/Lynx? Or Proton? You decide!
Orange Power! Eh, no wait, its M-Power *sweats*
1JZ in a Starion! If we remember correctly, this car was also featured in one Hypertune issue, no?
This is how we do it! CCFLs begone! Florescent tubes hello!
Oh hi there, Nissan GT-R/Volvo 850 lookalike!
Another JGTC-inspired bodykit design. We know how aggressive these aerokits can look, but are they durable enough for daily use?
This car is familiar around Sunway...that paintjob is a few years old, yet it looks good!
We know the owner will never drive at night; terrible visibilty from those smoked headlamps!
Ah, here we are, the Kenari-eyed Datsun with the humongous ICE system!
There was also a couple of shows throughout the day, but as we visited the venue at night, we only managed to catch the flamethrower showdown on camera. Check out these two pictures for an inkling of what the ‘Fire Dragon’ can do. A fitting end to the story too, we suppose, so until next time, drive safe!
