This group needs no further introduction to most. Chances are you’ve heard about them in one way or another. You may have seen their old photos circulating online, read scans of old magazines, or even played video games inspired by the group. Needless to say they are one of the most popular automotive groups in […]
We can’t stress enough the similarities of how cars function to the way the human body does. They both need periodic maintenance, they both have joints and underpinnings that need regular exercise, and they both operate thanks to a variety of fluids. That last bit is especially relatable, as cars need various kinds of oil, […]
After my six-year toxic relationship with a Subaru Impreza WRX, I told myself i’d keep away from AWDs in general. For the most part, our ‘most affordable’ options for turbo AWDs locally would either be skyrocketing Evo prices or dealing with Subaru unreliability for a taste of superior traction and sure-footedness. My jump to building […]
Singapore. The city state known for its great views, good food, friendly people, and more recently the setting for Crazy Rich Asians – not to say there aren’t real crazy rich Asians living there, mind you. Simply go around town and you’ll see an abundance of both luxury and supercars driving about. In fact, standing […]
What happens when you combine German engineering with the ‘roughness’ of a Japanese legend? You get something like this. This is RWB Hikaru, Nakai-San’s 10th creation under Rauh Welt Begriff Manila. Back in December I had the opportunity to shoot this car for a couple of days. Prior to that, the closest encounter I’ve had […]
We often take for granted what goes into some of our frequently used products in life. Be it our food, health products, or random consumables, we always tend to forget all the research and development that took to get those products into our households. For cars it’s pretty much the same thing, we all but […]
If you visit the various tuners and shops around Metro Manila, chances are they’ll either be filled with Hondas, Toyotas, Subarus, or even supercars. It’s understandable given they’re the more common platforms to build in the country, and these shops do need to run a business after all. If there’s one shop in town that’s […]
“Cars, in more ways than one, are always compared to the anatomy of the human body.” A person’s heart is the pump that keeps the body going just like an engine, the ECU serves as the brains that do all the thinking, and oil serves as the blood that keeps everything working as they should. […]
Hondas have a weird way of sticking to people who’ve enjoyed driving them growing up. You’d think that these cars would be best for young guys working their way up and starting their careers, and eventually they’d move up to another platform and forget their front-wheeled roots. Pay enough attention though and you’ll notice an […]
Much as we were ecstatic as we placed an order for the new Civic Type R, my dad and I faced an odd predicament with introducing the new car to our family. Specifically, we had to figure out how we would tell my mother that we were getting a “sports” car without receiving her spiel […]
At the 2025 Tokyo Auto Salon, the J250 Prado and LBX Morizo RR stole the show with bold, cutting-edge mods. Do the Japanese tune their cars for the street the same way we do? Welcome to Street63. You will find here a collection of features on some of Manila’s best builds and our take on […]
Much as they’ve been a powerhouse in an industry that’s concerned with almost nothing but the shift towards electricity, Toyota still makes a great effort to keep spirits high for car enthusiasts the world over. When they debuted the Toyota 86 in the early 2010’s, it introduced a new wave of enthusiasts to a fairly […]
For 7’s day 2018, we will look at a pair of FD RX-7s that have cemented themselves as the definitive style icons for the Rotary Mazda. We have here the first among the two – the car that made people see just how much the RX-7 is truly capable of. I will admit, growing up […]
With the R35 Nissan GTR being well over a decade in production, we have to admit it gets a tad bit repetitive to look at the same old face. Slightly updated every few years with the aftermarket following suit, it seems as if people have perfected the GTR recipe to the point that it has […]
