Tired eyes at your computer screen? Finishing another Netflix series? Snoring loudly in bed? Yeah, me too. In Kuala Lumpur your options are expanded somewhat.

Seeing these classic cars up close is pretty rad, but no one wants to see stuff like that just standing still. Like many, I came to watch them race. The hillclimb is held on a 1.9km-long (1.18mi) […]

There’s just something about classic and historic racing that gets me all excited. Seeing cars from yesteryear being driven in anger with maximum driver input and a lack […]

J was quick to corroborate my assumption, sharing that it’s “a performance car first, but we’ve always been geeks at heart.” The ‘we’ here is referring to some of his friends at Garage Drydock, which J helped found. He says Garage Drydock […]

Especially given that the car posted the third-fastest time in its class with Jackie Ding behind the wheel — on its first outing, no less, just days after an engine swap. The trip south […]

Such is the case, however, and it’s a theme that can be seen from generation to generation. Will’s first […]

Purchasing the car in 11th grade, he’s actually built the Starion — excuse me, Conquest — several times over. Each iteration is just a bit more intense than the last one, culminating in its final form […]

Pit Road M were called in to help with the engine setup in a customer project put together […]

But over the years we’ve seen a shift, with more amateurs coming into the sport and stepping things up. Now it’s […]

The JDM scene, or even import tuning for […]
