blogentry-133713-0-20284700-1455074594_thumb.jpgFirst and foremost, I must apologise for the long overdue post on my end. Yes, I was actually at last year's JDM TT 3.0 in Kuala Lumpur but time wasn't on my side, so I never really had the opportunity to sort out what I shot at the event until recently.

 

For those who have no idea what event this is, it's basically a hangout ( TT meant "Tea drinking" in Malaysia i guess?) session/car meet for Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) cars. Organised by Racenotrice.com, this is the third installment of the meet since 2013 and an estimated 500 cars and 1,000 people turned up for the meet.

 

Anyway, enough of talking. Here's what turned up at the event...

blogentry-133713-0-28414400-1455012250_thumb.jpgIt's a pity we don't get to see the Toyota Supra in Singapore anymore.

 

blogentry-133713-0-49356000-1455012278_thumb.jpgLarge exhaust for the Supra is the norm.

 

blogentry-133713-0-98675300-1455012306_thumb.jpgYes that's a Toyota engine in a Mazda RX-8. Owner was keen to show what he had as he was revving it once in a while.

 

blogentry-133713-0-20828300-1455012338_thumb.jpgRetro trucks are cool...

 

blogentry-133713-0-36466200-1455012372_thumb.jpgSo are retro police cars...

 

blogentry-133713-0-62460400-1455012397_thumb.jpgHow about a K20 swapped Honda EK Civic hatch?

 

blogentry-133713-0-85209700-1455012504_thumb.jpgThe Supra was one of the best show car that turned up...

blogentry-133713-0-89092200-1455012694_thumb.jpgVeilside Mazda RX-7. Fast and Furious fans would love this.

blogentry-133713-0-61520900-1455012750_thumb.jpgLovely Toyota Cressida.

 

blogentry-133713-0-45368600-1455012923_thumb.jpgThe Datsun 510, another retro JDM favourite.

blogentry-133713-0-43615200-1455073690_thumb.jpgMazda RX-7 again...

 

blogentry-133713-0-04472200-1455073701_thumb.jpgAnd another one.

 

blogentry-133713-0-99182000-1455073716_thumb.jpgAnd while it was pulling away, we spotted another one.

 

blogentry-133713-0-64441500-1455073795_thumb.jpgThere are many Honda CR-Zs here in Malaysia. This was just one of the many that drove past.

 

blogentry-133713-0-29173700-1455073811_thumb.jpgOne of my personal favourites, the Toyota Altezza. Again, there seems to be quite a few of them here too.

 

blogentry-133713-0-27317600-1455073855_thumb.jpg

 

blogentry-133713-0-78671500-1455073827_thumb.jpgAs usual, the Honda Civics were well represented.

 

blogentry-133713-0-24097300-1455074469_thumb.jpgThose familiar with highway street racing in Osaka will like this dressed-up Kanjo-look EK sedan and the third generation Civic below.

blogentry-133713-0-71449100-1455074658_thumb.jpgMore Kanjo weapons here...

 

blogentry-133713-0-02605400-1455073846_thumb.jpgOne of the few DC2 Integras that we spotted. blogentry-133713-0-97010700-1455073876_thumb.jpg

 

blogentry-133713-0-61695500-1455073866_thumb.jpgNo JDM meet would be complete without some GT-Rs. Since they are quite common locally, I skipped taking photos of them.

 

blogentry-133713-0-07115100-1455074459_thumb.jpgThen to my astonishment, I chanced upon a big group of Mitsubishi Evolution 5 and 6 at the quieter end of the meet. While there are a couple of these mean rally heroes here in Malaysia, they are rarely seen on the roads. So seeing so many at one time took me by surprise!

blogentry-133713-0-30757800-1455074569_thumb.jpgAs this lone Subaru WRX crawled past... I realised there might just be a group of Subarus parked nearby...

 

blogentry-133713-0-20284700-1455074594_thumb.jpgTrue enough there was!

 

blogentry-133713-0-16358700-1455074626_thumb.jpgBut before I had time to shoot, everyone started to leave as it was getting late.

 

blogentry-133713-0-71676000-1455074633_thumb.jpgWell, that sums up my little coverage of the JDM TT 3.0 meet. For those who wish to attend the next one, do hang out on the Malaysian car forums and you might get to know when the next one is!

  • Far Cry: A journey over two decades (PART FOUR)

    In case you missed the previous three parts, here's the links for Part One, Part Two, and Part Three. Welcome to Part Four of this ongoing series of every Far Cry main game in chronological order. As previously mentioned, having dedicated 21 years and thousands upon thousands of hours to this series, I have decided to write a review of my experience with each game. Bear in mind this is coming from a PC gamer. This post will focus on the fourth game in the series without revealing too m

    This should be the true Singaporean national dish

    Singapore is known to be a melting pot of different cultures, races, people and of course, cuisines from all over the world. You can probably find food from most places here in Singapore, but we also have some dishes that we like to think of as our national dish - okay, google says there isn't an officially declared national dish, but Chicken Rice is one of those that's often mentioned. Yes, we all love Chicken Rice, but it isn't really unique to Singapore.... Nasi Lem

    Manchester United's "promising" transfer window should be taken with a pinch of salt

    Having followed this club for more than 20 years, I'm well aware that a promising transfer window does not directly equate to an improved season. Forwards Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, as well as Diego Leon, the young Paraguayan wing-back, have been Manchester United's signings for the 2025 summer transfer window so far. On paper, this team should have no problem challenging for silverware. On the pitch, the current crop of players finished 15th last season. While both Cunha and Mbeumo ha

    Borneo Motors Turns 100 - Enjoy Complimentary Servicing

    Celebrate Borneo Motors’ 100 years with complimentary servicing for pre-owned Toyota & Lexus bought from Sgcarmart. Enjoy authorised distributor care. If you think Singapore has been around longer than Borneo Motors, you might be surprised to learn it's actually the other way around. While Singapore gained independence in 1965, Borneo Motors opened its first showroom in Singapore back in 1925, located along Orchard Road. Having been in Singapore for a century, Borneo Motors - which
