A rather happy dude posing with a model

As a bonus for you guys who did not have the time (and patience) to hunt around for the booth babes at the recent Xtreme International Autoshow, here’s what mycarslowbai.com has put together for you!

We’ll start with the girls from the Caldina Club Malaysia staging area first. It seems that the members pooled together to give more impact to their area by hiring these models!

Yay! A brief respite from the CCM women; here's Ultra Racing!

Whoops, we left this CCM pic out!

Cool babes giving the cool look

Events; Xtreme International Autoshow: Paid Attractions Part 2

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!

Events; Xtreme International Autoshow: Paid Attractions Part 1

The Jakarta Monster itself - its actually an Isuzu Trooper modified to look like a Hummer, complete with tons of ICE to back it up. Come to think about it, there was another Isuzu Trooper that was being facelifted to look like a Hummer in Sunway a few weeks back....Hmmmmm

Of course, what were you wondering? Our coverage of the Xtreme International Autoshow is not over yet! In this post, we’re going to feature all the rides that were in the stadium, after the ticketing counter (RM25 on the spot, RM28 if purchased at any Axcess outlets). As promised, there was the Jakarta Monster, Thai super lowriders with hydraulics as well as a couple more exotic bodykits on display, but having said that, and being there on a Saturday evening, we did not see the so-called two-headed mini nor the Porsche 928 hotrod. If someone has pictures of them cars, do let us know! More goodies when you click the link!

A slammed Hilux using airbag/hydraulic suspension greeted us on the way in too. Notice the couple at the back? How sweet!

Another shot of the Hilux. What a way to start the show - with two trucks! I particularly like the smoked headlights, it reminds me of a popular Honda Jazz mod LOL

A closeup of the Hilux's hydraulic/airbag system. Heck, ill just go with airbags since they're pneumatic anyways!

Slammed and wide-bodied Jazz....Thai owners really take their rides to the extremes, but yet, they are still streetable!

His interior is not left untouched, either. Anyhow, it would be a nightmare to be surrounded by nothing but fiberglass, meters and (admittedly, a tacky) shiny paintjob.

Okay, its a Yaris, its pink, and its slammed. I can't think of anything else to say bout it though....

Ah, the perennial Toyota-bashing favorite. I must say though in its defense, that the mods on this particular one is much more palatable. And the fact that its not a dugong, perhaps.

WoW!!! Look at meeeee, I have a Huge Muffler and GT Wings!!!

Think this Gen2 looks normal?

A peek at the back reveals.....nothing except for that black-on-black striking pattern and the LED glow....

Then, you realize the teeny weeny sign up in front, and when you take a picture with your flash.....holy mother of pearl paints!

Check out the cool design on the rear of the car. Simply mesmerizing! Another work of art from D-Sticker Station...

We truly apologize for this picture. We cant even see what engine it is, thanks to the chromed parts that threw the camera's focus right off the charts! BTW, a turbo that high is not only for the go, its kinda cool to look at too.

Talk about a full car - it brings its display kit along!

E46 headlights on a truck! I love 'em Thai mods!

Is this the long-lost brother of the Kenari-eyed Datsun 120Y station wagon? Paintjob looks the same.....so does the ICE..

A precursor of what's to come.........*hehe*

One of D.A.D's demo cars along the strip, complete with VIP boot styling and etched acrylic!

Its not much, but sometimes, its about the detail; a custom water tank with an airline going through it - in the boot, complete with clock!!

A Fabulous display of Opulence. Then again, I threw out my steel spare tire a long time ago :/

I'll take two, both in matte black and with carbon hoods, thank you.

Somehow, a Passo-converted MyVI doesn't look too hot in matte black

Ebony and Ivory VIP-style Jazz-es

A peek into an E30's engine bay.....or is it an E36? Someone enlighten me please!

A V8 Scooby loaded with fuel-saving gadgets from V-Class Motorsports..

This means that we're back to a VIP styling podium. Swarovski crystals and matte black paint is a statement of its own...

Mmmmmm matte black paint....

This area is full of Junction Produce enthusiasts - one of the largest VIP-style community in Malaysia

This custom Japanese nameplate says it all....

This image seriously screams out VIP...from the leather seats, to the enclosed, LED-lit woofers and the row of mini TFT monitors in the back....wait...why are they pointing towards the rear?

Another look at the row of TFT LCDs.....guess what movie this is? Hints; Tom Cruise and a plane that starts with 'Tom'

ICE fans would probably get orgasmic from the number of screens in this car alone!

We're REALLY sorry. This would be the last time I'm posting up a mini screen picture for a long, long time!

We checked - its not blinding when viewed from the inside!

More VIP visual cues here...

They see me rollin', they hatin'

The RX300 was sagging, thanks to the weight of the ICE in the boot. NOT!

What we think as the owner is pumping up the volume on this ride.

What a way to spend your money! Monogrammed windows!

Please, do not drink and drive!

A cocktail in the car.....picnics only, we presume!

This Estima just had it's interior visited by a brown cow..

This Wish did not use Jadeite for its front ornaments, therefore we cannot act jaded.

A lovely parting shot of the VIP-style area Check out the shine!

That’s about it for the first part of this post; as it’s getting a little too long in the tooth, and to speed the page for your viewing pleasure (yes, we know, the site’s speed can be a little ghey sometimes), we’re splitting the paid attractions into two parts. Watch out for the second part tomorrow!

Well, since most of you weren’t too keen on blurry images as a desktop wallpaper, check out this image of Ivan Lau drifting through the rear clipping point at the MDC Round 1 recently. Oh yeah, we’ll be heading over to the Round 2 of the MDC at the same place, so see you there!
