Exotic Mods VW Scirocco by Caractere – First in the country

Ever seen a Scirocco in the flesh yet? Now picture a dressed-up version in white, on 20’s fresh from the paint oven. It’s just obscene that some people get to order their cars before trying, and when finally here, is then sent to a shop for an extensive makeover. Not easy being first.

Exotic Mods undertook the project. We haven’t experienced the Scirocco prior to this and ironically, were expecting one from VW Malaysia just 2 days after this one. Honestly, who’d be as interested in the stock one after checking this one out? plus the suspension has been fiddled with, even the power has been upped, this is no ordinary Scirocco. We had a short test drive in this one instead.

Driven: The Nissan Sylphy tuned by Impul

I’ve just stepped out of the Civic Type-R FD2R. After 3 days and over 2000km, the Civic has battered my body with its stiffness, deafened my ears with its scream and won my heart with its character. It was a sad moment to give the car away to Tom but he had a surprise for me to mend my broken heart. He presented me the keys to the Nissan Sylphy and not just any Sylphy it was tuned by renown Japanese tuner and Super GT race team – Impul. Some of you may say that stepping into such a car does not equal to stepping into the Type-R, you’re right, that’s why a mindset change was needed and all expectations were ditched for what was to come, I really did not know what to expect.

Part 3: Renault Fabulous-5 Test Drive – The Megane R26

The Megane R26 is a completely different machine than the Clio RS. Minus the badges and decals, it’ll be hard to believe that the R26 is Renault’s best hot hatch. The design of the R26 may not sit well in everybody’s eyes especially the rear but it’s a look that grows on you, more so after you drive it. Read more

Part 2: Renault Fabulous-5 Test Drive – The Clio RS

So it continues, fresh from lunch, coffee, scones, and the Clio 1.6, you can just imagine my excitement when I was handed the keys to the Clio RS. You should know that every sports edition that comes from Renault is specially built by their Renault Sport Technologies arm, better known as RST. This basically means that it’s not just made and sold for the money but it’s made and sold by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. Read more

ZTH Drives: The Volkswagen Eos

Convertibles, as girly and poseur as they may be, are fun, a lot of fun. They may not be big here in Boleh-land due to our mad weather but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t any. Infact Volkswagen Group Malaysia (VGM) has brought down the Eos, one of the smoothest, coolest and dare I say, cutest convertibles to ever carry the VW badge. Read more

Something had to be done, such a hot topic could not be left undone, a neutral figure would have to be brought in. Read more

Lets face it, the world is a much filthier place than it was 20 years ago and everyone is to blame though us motorist get most of the rap.
