Handling package













After some research, these H&R ant roll bars sound like the real deal. I do not wish to touch the coilovers and another way to improve handling is to replace our stock arb with aftermarket ones. I can't imagine handling to be comparable to the Cooper S if I ever bolt these on. Woohoo.

Done Deal

This is the look I've finally wanted to achieve, even before i had the car.

This Oettinger rear valence can really transform the look of this hatch. Wanted to go for the Alpil/Newing rear but shipping costs added up to quite a figure. Moreover, Eurohaus had ready stock for this and its cheaper after factoring GST, so why not.

Its rear stance is now broader, more stable and lower, although nothing is done to the suspension and most importantly, not compromising practicality.









Yellow stripe, blue calipers. Hope i don't look like a mobile Ikea or Courts










Yes i know it begs to be lowered, but im more than satisfied with it.











The rear look is settled imo.

Golf sightings










This one of the sexiest GTi i came across. BBS rims, Alpil rear valence, coils, BBK, painted skirts and front bumper, and much more under the hood which i wouldn't know.








R32 at T3. Love the chrome grill. Way better in this trademark blue in y opinion.











:R's rear looks way nicer than stock GTi.











MKVI GTi, with Advan RS rims, Alcon BK, darkened front emblem, CF mirror covers coils, and im not surprised to know that this car's engine is not stock.

Stuttgart designers hard at work

I've never been a fan of drop tops.

The recent evolution of hard top convertibles by mostly German automakers was as exciting as the build up of the 2011 Audi A8. Keeping everything shrouded in secrecy did not really go well in my books, as you can visualise how it will "transform". Will it be a very grown up A4, or a grown up A6? Spot on for both guesses. Zoom your A4 to the max in your computer screen and there is your A8.










Introducing: the all new Audi A8.

Enough of going OT.

-------------------------------------------------

This entry is dedicated to the newest model in Porsche's lineup.

The previous model made me feel that the chief designer wanted to build a Tuscani for the weekly Sunday morning marketing.

Hollow bodywork and confusing curves made me uneasy after the introduction.

Wasn't really optimistic waiting for the successor, but finally, the artist used his master hand to whip up a delightful piece of art.

The Boxster Spyder looks stunning at every angle.

No signs of cheap interior and sluggish styling.

Coupled with the PDK transmission and flat six, this car produces a sonorous melody which would make Oprah wonder why she didn't wait longer to give this car to her audience.

A sub 6 time is respectable for an entry level model, unlike the low 7s from its predecessor.

Watch this video and turn up your volume.

Do not expect Pagani-like sound but just soak into the sweetness of its flat six.
