Pentagon Racing, based in Kuala Lumpur, is one of Malaysia’s most recognized tuning house for anything Honda. Namely the K20A powered Type-Rs. Setting highly respectable lap times and leaving their mark at top Malaysian circuit events has brought them into the spotlight.

Being one of the must-show faces at TIMETOATTACK, we met up with Chris at Honda-specialist’s headquarters, and had a little chat about their progress in the pursuit for that magical lap time. It is to our amazement though that the car that used to represent Pentagon (driven by Chris) during the 2012 round had already changed hands earlier this year.

As the sun sets over the horizon of Sepang International Circuit on Sunday, December 16th, we bid goodbye to the sacred venue where all the awesome spectacle and adrenaline-pumping actions of TIMETOATTACK 2012 had taken place. It was an exciting run, and all of them could not be accomplished without the undying support of our great sponsors, participants and supporters that had flocked all the way from various corners of the country and across the causeway in making 2012 a year that we will never forget; thank you again, all of you!

‘(00) was invited as part of the media by Honda Malaysia last week to drive up north to Penang and back. This included of course the 1.5 Hybrid, 1.8, 2.0 and 2.0 Navi (which, as its name suggests, comes with a built-in navigational system that doubles up as a reverse camera and infotainment system). Despite having only brief moments behind the wheel of each car, we were still able to draw our impressions of the all-new Honda Civic.

If it is not too much, we would again like to thank everyone for being a part of the success of Zerotohundred.com’s TIMETOATTACK Round 2 as it was definitely one of the best that we had ever organized so far! And just like the last round, we’ll now bring you some of the treats for those who could not make it to last Sunday’s event, in the form of automotive eye-candies, starting off with the JDMs.

The Honda bunch is undoubtedly one of the must-show faces of the TIMETOATTACK, and this round is no exception. The Type-Rs were still running strong, properly showing that it is definitely one of the best track weapons available today. That is why some established teams like Pentagon, N1 Racing and Kazama rely on the FD2Rs to do their chores.

Two Forties 72Hours BROmance Tour – Shaking Up The South!

Can you imagine how a free-revving engine with straight flow exhausts would sound like? Even if you could not, just give it a try. Now, whatever you have imagined, multiply it by 15. Yes, 15. Last two Saturdays at around 7am, 15 awesome cars converged at the Dengkil RnR. While many thought there was a typhoon approaching, they were not that farfetched as 5-6 cars were strapped with the KNN Typhoon, so that sounds about right.

JDMs at the TIMETOATTACK 2012 Round 1 (Part 1)

Previously, we had taken a glance into the ultra-rare and uber-cool automotive engineering that had together made TIMETOATTACK livelier. And now, it is time to shift our attention to the ones that originates from the Land of the Rising Sun, where some of them might look like a simple sedan or hatchback, but could also double up as a dangerous track weapon; the JDM machines.

And if one is a regular in visiting Sepang on either track days or time attack events, it would not take long to realize that one of the most preferred weapon being utilized by most participants are Hondas, particularly the FD2R or commonly known as the Type-R.

Ever been next to a supercar at a traffic light while seated in your hot hatch? You know he’s going to smoke you if you try but sometimes, you do it just for fun, you know the rich man and his ego will almost never let you pass. However, the tables may just change in a twisty road where power doesn’t really matter, just keeping up with a million dollar supercar in a machine less than a third of that is a feat by itself. And very very satisfying. Autocar UK got down to the bottom of this and pitted a supercar in the form of a Audi R8 against a hot hatch represented here by a Euro Civic Type R Mugen. And the winner is, you guessed it.
