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A smart project of Toyota and Subaru to working together on a rear-wheel-drive sportscar with “wonderful styling” have been replaced by rumours that the car has been put on hold.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"?

Supercar is a term generally used for high-end sports cars, whose performance is superior to that of its contemporaries. It has been defined specifically as "a very expensive, fast or powerful car with a centrally located engine",and stated in more general terms: "it must be very fast, with sporting handling to match", "it should be sleek and eye-catching" and its price should be "one in a rarefied atmosphere of its own",but the correct usage of the term is both subjective and disputed, especially amongst enthusiasts. The use of the term can be dependent on the era; a vehicle that may have been considered a supercar in one decade may not be considered the same in another. The term supercar may refer to factory-built, street-legal sports cars.Some vehicles referred to as supercars include features required for race cars such as roll cages.

Vintage SUV - Wagoneer van Bandung







Sejak rutin membeli majalah Jip saya jadi terekspos dengan kendaraan2 4wd. Tapi berhubung "dunia" yang saya geluti kebanyakan berbau jaman dulu maka untuk 4wd pun saya banyak cenderung ingin mengkoleksi mobil jadul tipe ini.






Suatu Sabtu muncul iklan jeep wagoneer di koran, namun saya hanya lihat sekilas karena belum tahu bentuknya. Sampai suatu saat saya browse di internet dan menemukan beberapa referensi gambar wagoneer ini. Buru2 saya hubungi pemasang iklan di koran tersebut dan ternyata barang masih ada. Mobil ini bermesin 6 silinder, 3200cc 4wd dan setir di sisi kiri:)






Setelah itu kami sepakat untuk saling email dan akhirnya saya bisa mengetahui photo dari mobil yang diiklankan. Modelnya cukup gagah dan dengan warna military green nya menambah "keanggunan" wagoneer ini. Saya sedikit mencari referensi ke beberapa kenalan yang tahu 4wd; konon mobil ini hanya masuk ke Indonesia dengan 2 jalur. Pertama adalah mobil militer, kedua adalah hibah dari WHO. Jadi prinsipnya di Indonesia tidak ada satu ATPM pun yang mewakili di Indonesia. Di satu sisi hal ini mungkin membuat kita berfikir dua kali mengenai ketersediaan suku cadang nya, namun disisi lain ada juga rasa ke-langkaan nya.






Cukup lama saya bimbang antara mau ambil atau tidak, akhirnya saya putuskan untuk ambil. Mobil berlokasi di Bandung sehinga saya harus menempuh 2 jam untuk tiba di lokasi. Ford Everest menemani saya ke Bandung Sabtu pagi itu. Tiba dilokasi saya langsung ketemu dengan pemilik mobil. Untuk beberapa saat saya melihat kelengkapan serta kondisi bodi secara visual, setelah itu saya minta tolong kepada yang punya untuk membawa saya mutar2 di sekitar lokasi berhubung saya belum terbiasa memakai setir kiri.






Saya akhirnya putuskan untuk langsung menggendong mobil ini ke rumah orang tua saya di Jawa Timur karena keterbatasan ruang parkir di tempat tingal saya. Handy Towing datang beberapa saat kemudian dan langsung menggendong mobil ke Jawa Timur. Rencananya saya akan sedikit modifikasi di dapur pacunya supaya bisa untuk daily use. Yang ada dibenak adalah mesin Hilux bekas....moga2 nemu jalan mulus.

Subaru Leone GSR - Perjuangan ke Salatiga











Koleksi coupe lawas berikutnya adalah sebuah produk langka Subaru Leone GSR. Mobil ini keluaran tahun 1975 dengan engine bawaan kapasitas 1400 cc rakitan Fuji dari Jepang. Bentuk mobil ini cukup unik dengan grill depan yang cukup menonjol dan bagian belakang dengan tipe fastback.

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











Ini merupakan proyek “coba-coba” karena penginnya punya Moris mini cooper lawas tapi seperti kita tahu saat ini model ini termasuk the most wanted jadi sangat susah. Kalaupun ada pasti harganya sudah diatas kewajaran bagi seorang yang bukan murni kolektor seperti saya :) Pilihan akhirnya jatuh pada Mazda kotak B600.

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:)

Ford Capri - Koleksi "Mustang"nya pabrikan Ford Eropa (work in progress)







Kali ini saya mulai tertarik dengan mobil-mobil coupe lawas. Ada beberapa target model yang saya inginkan diantaranya: Celica TA22, Ford Capri, Datsun dan Mazda 808.


Gayung bersambut, dari informasi yang saya terima melalui teman ada Ford Capri yang akan dilepas oleh pemiliknya di daerah Ciputat. Setelah janjian dengan empunya saya meluncur ke lokasi mobil. Cukup jauh lokasinya dari rumah saya. Setelah tiba di lokasi saya cukup takjub dengan mobil Capri tersebut. Kondisinya masih utuh dengan dibalut cat hitam dan jok dilapis kalep warna gading.



Pemilik mobil menjelaskan kalau dulunya dia hobi mobil kencang dan ini adalah hasilnya. Saya lihat keadaan mesin agak kaget karena ternyata mesin yang terpasanag bukan aslinya. Engine Mitsubishi 2 iter (ex Galant) duduk manis di kompartemen. Saya tanyakan ke pemilik ternyata mesin asli dan transmisi masih disimpan...whuih...aman. Setelah bernegosiasi akhirnya tercapai kesepakatan. Mobil saya tarik dengan derek karena kondisi tidak hidup.



Untuk urusan pengerjaan saya serahkan ke bengkel dekat rumah saya. Saat ini mobil masih dalam pengerjaan...semoga hasilnya cukup bagus. Capri warna merah adalah contoh gambar.
