ToyoBaru RWD Sports Car delay until 2012
A smart project of Toyota and Subaru to working together on a rear-wheel-drive sportscar with “wonderful styling” have been replaced by rumours that the car has been put on hold.
The future and superb drift machine, regarded by many as the potential successor to the now legendary AE86, is believe to be based on the current Subaru Legacy platform and powered by a boxer engine putting out around 200hp through a six speed manual transmission.
The original plan is due in 2011,but, according to Nikkei, the car has been delayed to at least 2012 or more. But with things set to get even worse around the globe, 2012 may just come and go without any trace of a Toyobaru RWD sports car.

Fastest Street Legal Super Car arrive at Europe...
Show up at any track with a car less than ordinary and you’re bound to get smirks of both disgust and pity. Some people don’t let it affect them, some pack up and go home in search of mummy, others give chase and some blow the competition away. That’s exactly what happen when the took his 1407hp Pontiac Trans-Am to the Papenburg track where the AMG boys from Mercedes were testing their new models.
With a brisk 8.9L V8 producing a whopping 1407 HP, The top speeds of 300km/h in his warming laps. After driving a couple of rounds around the track, to see what his road machine would do! And after pressing the pedal to the metal the when the technician came over with his laptop computer with a big grin. Here we have the official numbers: 407.134 km/h.
You may say well the 9FF team drove 409km/h in an extremely rebuilt Porsche 911 at the same track; this speed was recorded with their own equipment and therefore can be fixed and therefore is not recorded as an official speed record. Bugatti Veyron 407km/h is also recorded with their own equipment.
As the Papenburg track is to small for the Pontiac to reach its potential top speed of 435km/h and Volkswagen’s test track costs 25.000 Euro an hour to rent.

2009 Nisssan Skyline GT-R:Power Unleashed
Born from a long line of Skyline GT-Rs 1969, this latest version — “R36″ equipped with turbocharged power, more all-wheel-drive technology and more sheer speed than any Japanese car ever to come to America.
For six years the 2009 Nissan Skyline GT-R has been the subject of intense rumors and frenzied speculation. It has appeared in more spy photos than Area 51; and Skyline prototypes are as familiar a sight on the Nürburgring as pine trees and pavement.
Why? Because the Skyline GT-R R36 is expected to be the ne plus ultra of Japanese performance machinery; and after 30 years of waiting, it’s finally America’s turn to officially take part in all the fun.
The original Nissan Skyline GT-R might have hit the street in 1969, but it wasn’t until 1990 that the GT-R legend would be solidified. That was the year the Skyline GT-R was introduced to an utterly stunned Japanese market. It was the first of three twin-turbocharged, all-wheel-drive and all-wheel-steering Skylines (R32, R33 and R34) and it’s the generation upon which the Skyline GT-R legend rests.
Though the R34 left production after the 2003 model year, it was so beloved that Nissan’s Nismo division actually bought 20 used Skyline GT-R R34 V-Spec models during 2005 and completely rebuilt them into what is currently considered the greatest GT-R of them all — the $170,000, 500-horsepower Skyline GT-R Z-Tune.
Although Nissan never imported the Skyline GT-R to the United States, the supercar still found its way into America’s automotive consciousness. In fact, buying one in the U.S. became relatively easy. By the dawn of the 21st century, several hundred had been imported.
So prominent had the Nissan Skyline GT-R become that in 2003’s 2 Fast 2 Furious, the film’s hero drove and raced one through the streets of Miami. And the actor Paul Walker, who played the role, bought his own and modified it.
At the 2001 Tokyo Motor Show, Nissan showed the GT-R Concept as the prospective successor to the R34. By early 2005, modified G35 coupes with Infiniti badges, oversize wheels and tires, big rear wings, hood scoops and bodywork protrusions big enough to hide exotic exhaust systems in back or intercoolers up front were spied at the Nürburgring.
These weren’t just tuner cars, but full-fledged prototypes of the next GT-R.
Then in the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show, another GT-R showcar appeared called the GT-R Proto; and the new, innovative shape of the next GT-R was apparent. Obviously based on Nissan’s FM-code front midengine chassis, this GT-R would apparently use a turbocharged version of the VQ V6 with a seven-speed transmission and all-wheel drive.
And at the 2006 New York Auto Show, Nissan’s CEO Carlos Ghosn announced that, yes finally, the new Skyline GT-R R36 would be sold in the United States and it would be sold worldwide exclusively through Nissan, and not Infiniti. And apparently without the Skyline name.
That’s right, it’ll officially be called the Nissan GT-R. Yeah, right, just like the 2007 Mazda Miata is the MX-5.
Do you know "Super Car"?

Subaru Leone GSR - Perjuangan ke Salatiga
Saya mendapatkan mobil ini dari seorang kolektor di Salatiga Jawa Tengah. Cukup berat perjalanan untuk mendapatkan mobil ini karena saya harus ke Jawa Tengah. Jumat malam sehabis kerja saya beserta adik dan satu orang teknisi berangkat ke Salatiga menggunakan Ford Escape tercinta. Sabtu pagi tiba di lokasi, dan langsung melihat kondisi mobil yang masih berupa bahan ini. Cukup komplit list-list nya dan surat2 sangat lengkap (tidak mati pajak).
Mobil ini konon bersaing dengan mobil-mobil coupe lain keluaran Jepang di kancah rally WRC. Sebut saja Mazda 808 dan Celica GT (lihat gambar brosur). Akhirnya setelah memastikan kondisi mesin dan lampu-lampu ok, kami berangkat kembali menuju Jakarta. Mobil beriringan dengan Subaru berada di depan Escape untuk mamastikan jika ada kendala di jalan.
Ternyata cukup bandel juga mobil Subaru ini, dijalanan bisa mampu digeber dengan kecepatan 80-90 km/jam. Sedikit kendala ditemui saat kami sudah memasuki daerah Pekalongan dan hari sudah malam, lampu depan tiba2 mati…wah terpaksa harus berhenti di pom bensin untuk merepair nya. Tidak salah saya mengajak mas Yono, teknisi handal yang juga tetangga saya di Depok karena problem bisa dapat diatasi dan kami bisa melanjutkan perjalanan setelah istrahat tidur beberapa jam.
Sampai di Jakarta memasuki pukul 10 pagi dan kami langsung menuju rumah mas Yono untuk “titip” overhaul mesin dan transmisinya. Dengan network yang dimiliki, mas Yono masih bisa mendapatkan beberapa komponen engine dari toko suku cadang di Senen dan Sawahbesar. Sekarang tinggal mengunggu pengerjaan bodi…tapi sepertinya harus ditunda dulu ….. menabung dulu agar untung:) See you on the next update kalau tabungan sudah cukup.
Mazda B600 - Proyek coba-coba karena pengin Moris
Mobil 600 cc ini lumayan sering dijumpai malang melintang di jalanan Jakarta dan sekitarnya. Ada klub penggemar mobil ini yang kalau tidak salah pusatnya di daerah Depok juga. Saya mendapatkan bahan dari informasi teman yang ternyata lokasi mobilnya tidak jauh dari komplek saya tinggal. Saya langsung iyakan untuk ambil mobil ini dan langsung saya masukkan begkel langganan saya.
Tidak lama pengerjaan cat mobil ini, sedangkan untuk mesin kondisinya sudah siap pakai. Yang menjadi tantangan adalah mengembalikan krom spion dan tutup velg ban karena kondisi karat nya cukup parah. Sedangkan kelengekapan lain yang sampai saat ini masih dicari adalah emblem serta teralis di kaca bagian belakang.
Saat ini mobil sudah parkir di depan rumah menunggu tiap Sabtu/Minggu untuk dipanasi:)
