The R33 is often considered as the black sheep of the GT-R family. Even in popular car culture, the “San-San” is usually shunned compared to other generations of the GT-R. It was mostly known for being bigger, heavier and sluggish compared to its brethren – and it’s true. The R33 is indeed larger, heavier and […]

The second week of January marks the “holy pilgrimage” of every JDM fan boy: Japan’s famous Tokyo Auto Salon. Spanning twelve halls full of every tuning car and genre you can think of, TAS is effectively a 3-day ultimate sensory trip for its attendees. Show grounds aside, countless events are always held around Tokyo during […]
Ideally the tuning process is a cyclical affair. You start out with basic power mods, move onto basic suspension bits, a change of brake pads and fluids, and progressively move up in a circular fashion and repeat the sequence in some way or another. As we further our builds this process becomes more and more […]
At one point in our lives, we’ve all hit a rock bottom. This was a time when we probably thought all hope was lost, and things couldn’t get better. Sometimes, it’s just the cards we’re dealt with in life. Other times, it’s because of our own doings. But, things do get better, eventually. It may […]
Make yourself some coffee or a light snack folks, this car’s got quite the story The Lancer Evolution has long since been a sought-after model on local soil. Being sold in very limited numbers through Mitsubishi dealers, some of its earlier iterations like the Evo V have since held – nay, appreciated in value – […]
With its prevalence in Philippine car culture, the Mitsubishi Lancer is a car that we see modified in a number of ways locally. Some take inspiration from its rallying heritage, slapping on a cluster of foglights and covering the car in sponsorship stickers. A few of the Evos driving around Metro Manila have had a […]
People often think that building a proper street car is a straightforward recipe – you take all the best parts, all the fanciest aftermarket bits, put them all together and voila! You now ‘supposedly’ have the ‘perfect street car’. Anyone who’s had their fair share of modifying a car would tell you however that this […]

I could never figure out how I’d find myself in the position of running the bi-annual circus that is the Legends of The 90’s. What started as a small gathering of fellow 90’s-era enthusiasts back in 2015 somehow snowballed into the fanfare we’ve come to know in a span of just four years. This casual […]
These days you can somewhat tell what kind of cars your typical famous celebrity would drive. For the most part, being incognito is key – meaning they’ll either be rolling in bulletproof Land Cruisers or the odd coachworked Toyota Hi Ace with dark tint. Should they choose to represent themselves, you may see them driving […]
Slowly but surely, life is somewhat returning to what we once knew as ‘normal’ even amidst the pandemic. Last year it made perfect sense not to take any chances with going out for meets, but as human beings going on long stints without interaction with others isn’t too healthy as well. In the context of […]
Take the all-new JB74 Suzuki Jimny for a quick spin and you will come to a very simple realization: The damn thing is NOT FAST. A 1.5L four-cylinder lump making a smidge over 100hp can barely be considered propulsion these days, and for something like the off-road oriented Jimny this is par for the course […]
Let’s face it. At this point in time the widebody hype is something we will all have to live with.
