Nissan GT-R Wagon

Do you like a wagon car ? Do you ever imagine an evo or a GTR in a wagon shape ? Just have a look at this GTR Wagon. This is not a official or original GTR wagon. The actual car is  Nissan Stagea/M35 (Autech Stagea) which you will never see in this part of world.

The Japanese has swapped the front end and this wonderful mod was shown at Nagoya Auto Trend recently. Whatever it is, this wagon look nice and perfect.

Toyota Starlet KP61

If you noticed, this KP61 also known as Starlet Kambing amongst the EP Community is one of the famous drift car in Malaysia. Where ever you go, you will see this machine which normally powered by the normally aspirated 4AGE or even Turbocharged SR20DET.

The one that featured here is one the classic example, how this oldskoll model can be transformed. Of course, hardly seen this type of mod in Malaysia. Anyway, enjoy …

Lexus IS300 powered by 2JZ-GTE

The Lexus IS300 featured here is another great modification by the western on the IS300 or also known Toyota Altezza in Japanese Domestic Market (JDM). Eventhough, the factory setting 2jZ-GE engine is good enough in term of power, but many of the IS300 enthusiasts choose the 2JZ-GTE taken from Toyota Supra simply because of the possible engine swap with minor mod.

If you thing that the swap is easy, you are definitely wrong, nothing bolts in and fits, some of the things need to undergo major mod.

Not to mention that all IS300 comes with auto tranny !

The engine swap also maybe very much related to the famous legendary rear wheel drive AE86. What do you think of this Toyota monster.

Farinaracer’s Caldina GT-4

Just wanna share with all my ride.I bought this in February this year from Mutiara Motor. Eventhough my first choice was altezza, but after being poisoned by BoyComel, I decided to grab this turbo charged car which I believe will best suit my needs. I need enough space for my small family and this sports wagon just good enough for me, and its turbocharged.

Don’t confuse caldina is just a sport wagon and not MPV.

Nothing much that I have done to this car simply because it comes with many extra accessories such as TRD bodykit, TRD exhaust, TRD coil, 18 rays versus and of course few goodies from mutiara motor, oil cap fillar, radiator cap and also e-manage.

There are many type of cadina in the market, the one that I have here is GT-4 NSpec. It has kewl part as factory standard such as Recaro seat, LSD, red Sport absorber and also engine strut bar. White is nice but not easy to maintain huh !
