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-133713-0-07695900-1455012221_thumb.jpgThe Toyota AE86 needs no introduction I believe. This one here looking mint.

 

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!

  • Tennis: Beautiful game that doesn't know how to count

    Wimbledon just concluded yesterday (congrats Sinner!), and it's a reminder of how much I enjoy tennis as a sport. I used to play it some (wasn't particularly good), and still tangentially follow it nowadays (the Roland Garros final this year between Alcaraz and Sinner is an all-time classic).  There's something intrinsically mesmerising about the sport, I think even for spectators who have never picked up a racquet. At first glance, it may seem like just two people (or four, but doubles is

    A 20-year journey, an old passion rekindled

    For us 90s babies, the Holy Trinity of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network formed a big part of our childhood. The internet was just about coming into fruition, with the rise of a plethora of websites with numerous entertaining flash games and of course, the early days of YouTube. And though those things have come and gone, one thing in my life remained constant: My love for Pokemon. I first got into Pokemon 20 years ago, and I remember exactly how it went down. Let me set the

    23 years on, Infernal Affairs remains the best gangster movie I've watched

    TL;DR It's over two decades old, but Infernal Affairs remains THE gangster trilogy. *SPOILERS AHEAD* *SPOILERS AHEAD* *SPOILERS AHEAD* The Hong Kong Police and a triad have placed moles in each other's ranks. Tony Leung is Chan Wing Yan, an undercover cop desperate to leave his assignment. The antagonist is Senior Inspector Lau Kin Ming (Andy Lau), a decorated policeman who is actually a mole for Hon Sam (Eric Tsang), a triad boss. It's a game of cat-and-mouse, with poli

    Motorcycle riding is a sensory experience beyond the exhaust

    Riding a motorcycle is like taking your nose on a wild adventure. You're cruising down the road, expecting to smell nothing except exhaust fumes and perhaps rubbish, when suddenly - bam! - you're hit with the mouthwatering aroma of sizzling char kway teow from a nearby coffeeshop. Heck, you might even catch a whiff of someone's fancy perfume as you zip by. It's like your bike has magical powers, transforming an ordinary ride into a sensory rollercoaster. It's these unexpected olfactory deli
