Kuala Lumpur Street Stance 2013 Coverage

Noticed how far the Malaysian Stance scene bug had spread recently? Ever so often, you’ll notice a peculiar car, bewildering passers-by with their camber-gone-wrong stunt, extremely rounded tyre side wall and their wacky stickers that somehow feels so wrong but just looks so right? Love it or hate it, you just can’t deny the passion in the build and uniqueness in style, each and every example strive to achieve.

The Stance cult aims at rebelling the mainstream idea of a car. Bending the rules of practicality and frowning at commonness. To boldly go where no man (or woman) has gone before, exploring the final frontier of flush, stretch and poke. It had not only infected new followers in mass quantities, but the recent invasion has raised the bar in stance standards.

What the masses know as primitive cheap spare steel wheels, are seen as potential for stance-holics for extension or re-barreling, sometimes doubling its width to gain that unique edge.

Never has there been a car culture that converge more enthusiasts together, where social status means nothing and car value is just a number no one cares. It is the attention to detail, boldness in style and cleanliness in the art-form that matters.

Driven: The Nissan Sylphy tuned by Impul

cmb_4782_600

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.

renault-fabolous-5-test-drive-117

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 the rest of this entry »
