2 Fast 2 Furious Jakarta Drift (Mazda RX-7 1997)

2 Fast 2 Furious had much unique think to explore it. Some people with elite car modification experience and a lot car modification stories can find much inspiration from this movie. Andy Santosa is one of them that can get some modification inspiration in the 2 Fast 2 Furious movie.

With his RX-7, Andy starts his modification project to pimp up his car into his concept. His concept was taken in 2 Fast 2 Furious movie. The Tokyo Drift car’s make him enchanted. Racing Drift concept looks sexy when applied in this sexy FD3S. So, it’s only about the owner taste that combined with the owner modification experience.

Thaarthaa, after Andy modify it, him FD3S is very sporty look. C-West custom bodykit made it so prestige. Sporty platform of FD3S were upgrade into the next level, or maybe I can said “level up”. Custom carbon spoiler with hood is also make this “Fast” aura stronger. And also, the Volk Racing GT-C Face 1 make this under carriage section look so catchy. This FD3S got more aerodynamic design, elite appearance and also, “furious” concept.

But the sporty look will useless without better engine performance. Yeah, I know the 13BT-REW engine is very power engine, although in stock. But, will be better if this engine has an increase performance. Sure, but 13BT-REW engine is case sensitive engine, so need a lot of modification experience to take it into a better level (“level up”).

The most (and the important) changes of this 13BT-REW engine is the Turbo exchange. The standard turbo replaced with bigger turbine one, and bigger spooling also. Haltech E11V2 engine management system is required to match with the new bigger size of turbo. Yeah, synchronization that need a lot of modification experiences.

For this engine section, 320 hp is reached from this RX-7. So, the 247 hp on wheels (by dyno-test)is very powerful one, that maybe fear some car in street. :D . Great modification story about the engine and exterior section, but how with the handling section?

That we know, a big powerful engine will never match without the upgrade of the stabilization parts. (That maybe if we got to fast, without good parts of stabilization section, we’ll get accident!). So, the owner apply some exotic equipment. Such as adjustable suspension Tein, Michelin Pilot tyre, disk brake Brembo. Yeah, a great tuner that undoubt modification experience and modification story.

So, the interior is also equipped with high quality parts that make the racing aura look stronger than before. Although a better audio system, this modification is very “accept-to-concept”, that has synchronization, unity and quality.

American Style (Again) (Hilux 2008)

Maybe a trend, viruses or anything else but, the American style is booming in Indonesia. Sedans, hatchback, city car, SUV or Pick up affected with USDM style. Many people said there the USDM style uses big size rims, black or anything glamour color, blink – blink parts and low ride or short ground clearance






Many local tuners already has an USDM modification experience and modification stories. So, when we want to modify our car into a good USDM style, many tuners recommended.
This one is an example of Pick up USDM style. Owned by the Supermoto racer, this car look so tough and elegant also, like the USDM concept. Let see what happen with this Toyota pick up line up.
First, a bigger rims for bigger passion. They owner said “The USDM concept will be better to use a big size velg. It make the low rider impression feel stronger.” So, this car use 22 inch velg by Gazario Chrome. Yes, Chrome. Chrome is symbol of luxurious and low rider “blink-blink”. Wide body needed to make this Hilux seen bigger than standard. Yes, need a modification experience to do this.
Custom grille applied nice in this car. This grille uses 2 honeycomb wire that combined become one. So, the design is very close, solid and dense. The next, body color. Although the standard was black color, but the owner wants a shiny black color. So, Super Deep Black by Spies Hecker applied well in this pick up. It make the blink-blink “culture” improved.
The other modification inspiration for us is multifunction luggage or trunk. It has a different style than the other. The first step are to clear all of rope hook. Now, it’s look simple and elegant than before. The second is to change the stoplamp place into the corner. That makes the design looks integrated. And the most innovative one is the trunk that can used for save some items and also, the emergency stay room. Because, inside the luggage there a airbed to get some rest. Maybe a good modification experience and modification story to share with other.
Bravo Modification.

This color had many time chosen because the blue color is like blurring smooth with the purple color. How a fantastic. So, do you get more inspiration now?
The next exterior parts that maybe give you more modification experience and also inspiration are the velg. The red colored Gab sports velg 16x7 inch combined with a blue body color? The owner said that in U.S, the bright colors for rims are popular. So, in my opinion, the color is like the famous Superhero, Spiderman. How a good information for us.
After the exterior already finished, now we move into the favorite sector for the owner. The engine. This B16A engine is most wanted engine from the VTEC lovers. It called “the real VTEC engine”. So, proudly the owners modify his engine to get better performance. It needs some engine modification experience and modification problem solving. Yes, because this engine were rare too.

So, many tuners that have much modification experience and modification story modify this car, is to racing event or daily used.







GTR R35 is the last generation from legendary Skyline line up. This car have a much different with the R34 generation. R34 is very boxy style 2-doors with a beast engine. But now, R35 have a very aerodynamic design with exotic headlamps. The design is like the 350Z Fairlady smooth design with Skyline R34 boxy design. So, I think if we modify this car, we’ll get much modification experience and modification story.
Because the GTR R35 streamline is still good and sporty enough for the owner, it let be standard by the owner. Bodykit, velg and other exterior accessories is still standard. You look, it still ok huh? But, thee one part that aftermarket product. It’s the rear wing. Yes, a different type with the standard GTR version. This item from Amuse. Amuse has a much modification experience and modification stories with Nissan car, especially Skyline GTR.

Because the reduced of top speed, the owner not let it be. He doesn’t want the essential of GTR, the performance were reduced. So, the owner do a “little” engine modification engine with HKS R35 GT570 package. Based by the number after “GT”. Its about amount that can maximally produced by GTR engine. So, 570 hp is impressive power and will give a good feedback. It can be, because HKS is very popular tuner that have a much modification experience. Wow, a nice modification story.
But, the owner still need more power! Although HKS parts give a sensational power, the owner wanted more! AP1 ECU Reflash give this car get more power up to 600 hp. 30 hp more than before. So, I think the owner that already has a much modification experience and modification stories too.
For the better handling, the owner makes a small change. The owner only changes the suspension with HKS Hipermax 3. A popular product, from popular tuner that has many modification experience and modification stories.
So, are you ready to ride it up? Lets see. .

Special “Lizard” from Porsche (Cayman 2009)

Porsche is very spectacular sports car from Germany. This manufacturer was some first sport car manufacturer in the world. Porsche have many product line up especially for coupe. But, nowadays, Porsche has a SUV and big Sedans saloon. So, Porsche was listed by world in some exotic car. How about to modify it? Don’t worry, because there’s many tuners that have a lot of modification experiences and modification stories.






This Cayman is the last model of Cayman. Cayman is a model that combine some element of legendary Porsche car, 911 with the lowest class in Porsche line up, Boxster. It take between the price and feature from both 911 and Boxster too. So, we look the front side of Cayman, it take the 911 model. And for the back side, it take Boxster style. So, let the popular tuner that have a lot of modification story and modification experience take the portion to modify it.
Because the price factor and the exoticism matter, the owner didn’t want any custom parts or unpopular tuner to take a portion to modify it. And, the owner trust TechArt to modify his Cayman.

Gray Goes Great by Sonic Motorsport(SLK 350)

SLK 350 is very impressive sport car. With retractable hardtop, it make SLK so sexy. This gray SLK is also great too. Because the owner modification experience that make an interesting modification story, this SLK won the competition in U.S. So, lets see what had been done with this car. .





First, Brabus bodykit. For this one, Sonic Motorsport must purchase US$ 5,000. Isn’t cheap price maybe, but when we must control about the quality, I think Sonic got a deal price. It cause Brabus had a lot of Mercedes-Benz modification experience and modification stories. So, no doubt again. Especially for this part quality.
And the another important modification part, velg. The first velg edition used 20 inch in size. iForged 20 inch used because the owner look one of SLK R171 in a SLK forum that looks so tight and sexy. But, 20 inch is not a small size for a small car like SLK. With some modification experience and some modification story, this problem can be solved .by using 10 mm of spacer.
But, this iForged is A4 specification offset. So, with 8,5 inch wide on front and 10 inch on rear make many trouble appear after the installation. So, although Black matt inner disk with chrome lips finishing that the owner taste, Sonic feels better to changes it size. So, the project were started again.
With a patient, the owner with Sonic Motorsport find a same black matt chrome lips finishing lips in same forum. That’s DPE. With DPE 19 inch velg, this SLK feel better about the handling and the performance. So, we get the valuable modification experience and modification story to our modification knowledge. Size does matter! Although our taste is important, but the specification is also important too.
For the better handling, Sonic Motorsport used H&R coilover kit fir US$1,200. The better handling couldn’t be complete with a better brake performance. So, Sonic Motorsport applied a very popular brake barnd with most modification experience and modification story both, Brembo. US$ 2,700 must purchased for this item.
And, this one of special tips for you about the exhaust system. It’s about custom made freeflow system. This system is release the muffler from the exhaust system that make the performance going better but the sound going loud. So, when you apply this system, ready for the anger of some people that hate the loud.
