The HellaSaga : Hazim's Hellaflushed Proton Saga BLM

What's up guys. Lately I have been hanging out with the LowJunkies a lot lately. Along the way, I also met this one dude who flushed his Saga BLM the right way. Nowadays, there are thousands of Saga BLMs in the streets of Malaysia and it's becoming one of the most common cars to see in Malaysia, so what could possibly be special about this car?

Now, we all know the BLM was based from the original Proton Saga which was produced from 1985 to 1992. At that time, everybody wanted one. Not only because it was the first national car of Malaysia but because it had the best build quality of any Proton model up to date. So the BLM was the successor of the original Saga.

I was impressed how tight the fitment was. Even the camber was just right. Yet, even though it looks like a hard-parked kind of car, but it proven it's functionality when Hazim takes it out for highway runs between Shah Alam and Kuala Lumpur. It was possible with Wings coilovers on the front and Bustec coilovers in the back with a 10K spring rate for balance at high speed.

If you see how fast he can go on the highway, you'd be surprised that he is running with a stock 4-speed automatic gearbox. Even when it comes to engine tuning, Hazim maintains a stock like set up similar to the Japanese Kanjo Racers who usually run stock like to light tuned VTEC engines.

 On the outside, it looks pretty understated since he kept the original Blueberry Tea paint but it's a whole different story in the engine bay where he painted his valve cover with pink and purple camo.

If you want to catch him rolling, it's most likely to find him in the streets of Shah Alam. Well that's all from me. Until next time. Peace!

Black Tie Attire: Jacko's VIP Honda Jazz On Bags

What's up guys. Recently I went out of the street and performance comfort zone and went for something a bit more baller. I recently met with a guy known as Jacko, where he is a salaryman during office hours but after that he rolls in a VIP style Honda Jazz or known in Japan as a Honda Fit.

Story was, he like all the typical stuff of cars. Tuning, engine swaps, drag racing. But a few years back, he came across an article that featured a that really caught his attention. All blinged out with curtains and such.Then when he was in East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak), he saw that style again, and again. Jacko couldn't sleep at night just wondering what kind of style was it.

After years past, he moved back to Johor. One day he met up with and old time car enthusiast from Johor Bahru and he was driving a blinged out Cefiro with the same styling cues of the rides he saw in East Malaysia. It was called VIP. Now it all finally came together.

Fast forward to 2014, Jacko's ride has every styling cue that a real VIP ride should have. Since nowadays, a lot of people who mods in VIP style never gets it right. It always ends up looking like a ricer UFO car. They always end up making it look messy and over-doing it with the LED strips. Not this Honda though.

The exterior of this car is kept clean with a Fabulous Type A body kit, Eagle Hawk Black paint with 3D Rainbow finish sitting on the trending Works Meister S1Rs.

Unlike his ricer counterparts, Jacko really tries his best to tuck all his LED lighting only to leave a hypnotic glow visible to those who view the car. But I have to say, I was really digging his audio set up with an LED graphic equalizer. It actually bounces with the song played. (Just have to set the volume loud enough).

Then lastly I wondered how does he achieve the clean and low stance. That's when Jacko pulls out the remote and started playing with the ride height. That's it, air suspension. This car is running on bags.

I gotta say, respect to this guy for redefining VIP style in Malaysia. If you wanna see his car, don't bother looking at your typical car show because he rolls with the stance and kanjo crews of Shah Alam called the LowJunkies. Well, that's all from me. Until next time yo. Peace!

MOBFest 2014 | USDM x JDM | Photo Coverage

What's up guys. For those stance fans out there, MOB Fest is back and this time it is a two day event mixing both USDM and JDM all in one weekend. Organized by MOB Design Decals, they held the event near Stadium Nasional, Bukit Jalil.

Despite the downpour over the weekend, all the stance crews were still able to come out. Names like the LowJunkies, Daily Swag Gang, Fine Fitment and even crews from outside the Klang Valley also made it out to show off their rides.

Not much I can say about this, enjoy the photos. Until next time.Peace!
