Disc brakes are fitted to all wheels, with ventilated discs and Brembo double piston, fixed calipers at the front. Suspension is derived from a tried and tested Abarth configuration with the front provided by independent McPherson struts, while rear suspension is semi-independent with a torsion bar. Abarth has also fitted a larger anti-roll bar together with front springs that are 20% harder than those of a standard suspension system.

Double Dose | A Pair of EVO GSRs

IN Evo, GSR, Yellow, White

What's interesting about these cars is that they belong to the same owner. Many people have two or more cars, but rarely does a person buy the same model, twice! It simply shows how great the Evo is.


Above base WRX will have current STi looks with augmented arches and large air-scoop.

2011 WRX grows some muscle

IN 2011, WRX, Subaru

The last incarnation of our favourite boxer-clad rally machine was a bit of a disappointment, missing all the flared-arch fenders and gaping air dams, the response to the GR WRX was lukewarm, at best.

Loud & Proud | Evolution 9 GSR

IN Evo, Blue, Gsr

This heavily modded menace once ruled our streets with a claimed 700bhp! It has since been de-kitted and the body exported. Which is not a bad thing in my opinion...


This yellow Silvia S15 was setup so nicely with what looked to me like a Vertex kit. Staggered wheels so neatly tucked under the fenders.

Black is back! BMW 135i Coupe

IN Bmw, 135i, Black, 19

Powered by a 3-liter twin-turbocharged engine producing 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. This baby Bimmer is in Porsche Cayman S territory - at half the price.


Original colour code for this Deep Green Toyota paintwork was sourced for and meticulously sprayed on over weeks - the outcome is a rich and glossy job that is capable of turning one green with envy. Front bumper sports a reproduced TRD chin spoiler (TRD turns 35 this year by the way - Ed.).

Back to the Old Skool. Toyota Celica TA22

IN Celica, Green, Retro

Classic cars are a rare sight in modern Singapore, even rarer is this beautiful example of a 1970's Toyota Celica TA22. Restored to a gorgeously pristine state, it's arguably the best unit around.
