Peter's JUN Toyota MR-2

Peter is a friendly chap that i met online many years ago during my Honda days.

I believe many of you have seen this car in the local magazines published many times. Indeed, Peter is the new owner of this JUN MR-2 beast.

Peter is lucky to meet the first owner in his life as a colleague and both them started building the project car together. Peter did minor help on the car when the owner left the country for business outstation work.

He left the car in Peter’s backyard and finally he offered the car to Peter with a special price by a reason of being well taken care of his car from time to time including cosmetic upgrade and touch-up of wear and tear problems.

Another reason is, John the 1st owner, did not intend to sell to anyone who will dismantle the car and sell the part out separately like we always know typically those that wants to make profit on top of the market price. This car is more to true enthusiats that appreciates the complete modification package.

I have yet to drive this car one of these days. Koyama-San is always around if he needs more than 500hp, ha ha ha.

Have fun Peter!

UNREST Evolution Bros - Part 1

Its been a long time since i blog about these two cars and i finally found the right time and at the same time having a fully charged digital camera. I honestly snapped many pix but these were some of the best ones i got. There are a few other pix but the owners has required them to be kept away from the public.

Anyways for a start, Hizam's Mitsubishi Evolution 6.5 Makinnen has been extensively modded. For the last 2 months, he has spent on many branded new parts from rims to engine parts alone. He has kept his car in very good condition since day 1 when he first got it. The car is smooth and finely tuned. The list of mods done are quite lengthy and u can see from the pix taken. Seeing is always believing. Rumours has been chipping in my ears saying the car will be sold for an exchange of a Nissan Skyline R34 GTR. But then again, im not surprise either, ha ha.

The Evolution 7 driven by the quiet and humble driver Ijud, projects a new way of expression himself uniquely. I sometimes feel tired looking at "catalog" cars driven on the road. Same colours, same chosen cultured rims and same talkabout modifications. Ijud has taken the colour business seriously after getting ideas from around the globe and definitely self creativity. The thing that makes car magazines, internet, tv and real life encounters are the fact u learn something from it and not simply carbon-copy it. To be unique and being able to stand on its own identity is Ijud's style.

ps. i would like to thank both drivers for giving me a chance and permission to snap their cars using my koochie and oldschool 4.0 megapixel olympus miu-mini. all pix were taken as it is and not being adobe photoshoped. no magic, just simple creativity shots.
