100 MyCarForum (MCF) Premium Members drove down to the Caltex Singapore's service station at 130 Dunearn Road on the 16th of January to collect their complimentary bottle of Techron Concentrate Plus (TCP).
TCP is a fuel system cleaner that helps remove harmful deposits from fuel injectors, intake valves and combustion chambers that is left by the occasional usage of lower quality fuels. With each use of the TCP, you are not only removing harmful deposits from your car while restoring lost p
TL;DR – A Nissan NV200 and a Maserati GranTurismo S were caught on camera racing one another along the KJE. However, the race did not go as one would have expected.
The Maserati GranTurismo S is a beautiful car.

It’s a 4.7L car housing a V8 engine that pushes 400+ horsepower.
We’re talking 0 to 100km/hr in about 4 seconds!
But yet, in this 47-second video, you can see how it loses to a Nissan NV200 (a van).

Honda has sent hot hatch fans into a frenzy by unveiling the first pics of its latest Honda Civic Type-R concept ahead of its 2014 Paris Motor Show debut. Forgoing the classic Civic Type R red in favour or an eye-catching blue paint-job the concept is revealed along with extensive details and specs.
It looks certain that the eagerly awaited hot hatch version of the Civic will be one of the most extreme and performance-focused models in the Type R’s 22-year history.

In this weekly recap of the UEFA Euro 2016 Tournament brought to you by Official Sponsor Hyundai Motor, we look back at the action that took place over the past week.
Last week saw the Round of 16 matches being played, with teams vying for a place in the quarter-finals.
Germany eased into the next round with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Slovakia. Jerome Boateng scored early in the 8th minute, and even a missed penalty by Mesut Ozil could not slow down the German onslaught. Mario Gome
A New Jersey luxury car dealership is being sued by a United States resident and Indian national because it refused a Mercedes-Benz GLS sale. According to Record Online, Prestige Motors is being sued for S$1.69 million by Surjeet Bassi because the dealership's manager expressed concerns that Bassi would export the SUV to the Taliban.
In the article, Bassi was said to have reached a deal, passed a credit check and was charged a S$1340 downpayment before he was called into the manager's offic
The two companies have signed an agreement to establish a joint project that will develop new base vehicles that will be able to incorporate the latest developments in AD technologies, up to and including fully autonomous driverless cars. The base vehicles will be manufactured by Volvo Cars and then purchased from Volvo by Uber. Volvo Cars and Uber are contributing a combined USD 300M to the project.
Both Uber and Volvo will use the same base vehicle for the next stage of their own autonomou
Even as Uber Technologies Inc exited China, the company's financial loss has remained eye-popping. In the first nine months of this year, the ride-hailing company lost significantly more than US$2.2 billion, according to a person familiar with the matter. In the third quarter, Uber lost more than US$800 million, not including its Chinese operation.
At the same time, the company's revenue has continued to grow even after leaving the world's most populous country. Uber generated about US$3.76

Last night (Oct 3), a Mercedes C200 driver caused a major accident along Elias Road, resulting in traffic delays.

Subaru and its official performance arm STI have an interesting concept based on the BRZ due for a reveal at the upcoming 2017 Tokyo Auto Salon.
The concept is called the BRZ STI Sport and is described as a more mature take on the Subaru sports car.
The only other information Subaru is willing to tell us right now is that the concept is fitted with 18-inch aluminum wheels and a handful of STI body enhancements, including a front lip spoiler and side skirts. For the interior, the designer
As a "car guy"(or girl), nothing grinds your gears more than hearing a mispronounced car brand or model name. There may be some that even ‘we’ have been mispronouncing. Lets go through some of the more common mispronunciations we’ve been hearing.
Audi: It's aw-dee, not o-dee. Like the sound you make when it hurts: aw-dee.
Chevrolet: For a GM marque that's been around over a hundred years, you'd think there's no way people could still get Chevrolet wrong. Its shev-ro-ley.

The press days for the Frankfurt Motor Show are September 15 and 16. On that second day when all the German hubbub has died down, on other side of the Atlantic, Honda will be unveiling the US-spec production Civic in Detroit and Los Angeles. The coupe, five-door hatchback, the Si, and the Type R will be unveiled at a later date.
While there could be information on the Civic's new platform, Honda doesn't plan to offer any details on the new engines and powertrains. The sedan will come with
If anyone has some spare cash lying around, you might want to consider this almost brand new McLaren F1 that has gone on sale in the U.K.
According to Carscoops, it might be the world's lowest mileage and the owner, Tom Hartley Jnr is expecting it to fetch more than eight figures.
With only 239km on the clock, the car is chassis number 60 of 64 road-legal units on the road. All distance done by the car has been accumulated as part of pre-delivery tests conducted by McLaren.
When it comes to racing, weight and power play a great deal in determining how well the car will perform. As such, it is unnatural for anyone to want to pit a truck against a car, especially when the car in question is one of the fastest in the world - the Koenigsegg One:1. But it seems like Volvo Trucks has decided to take the path untraveled, in an unprecedented race between its flagship FH series and the super sports car.
Few sports car can stand in the way of the One:1. With no less th
Bridgestone recently launched its new Potenza RE-11S Type RH motorsport racing tyre, and we accompanied them up to Sepang International Circuit to see the new tyres being put through its paces by sponsored driver Mohhamed Yusoff at a Traction Circle Club track day.
Developed from Bridgestone's motorsport technologies, including the brand's Formula One expertise, the Potenza RE-11S is designed to perform under extreme conditions and offers high-speed performance on the racing circuit.

A horrific accident involving a trailer and three electric bicycles last month - which killed two riders and injured the third - has put e-bikes in the spotlight once again.
It is easy to get carried away and say we should do this or that - including banning such contraptions - to prevent more loss of life and limb. But there is a danger of throwing the baby out with the bath water in the process if we are not careful.
First of all, some perspective. Accidents happen. And more often tha
LATEST figures from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) show that the private car population is at its lowest level since 2011, falling to 598,219 as at the end of January.
The shrinkage could continue, with analysts saying it is a sign that the supply of Certificates of Entitlement (COEs) is lagging behind actual replacement demand.
But a larger imbalance is on the horizon and could cause COE prices - which have been trending down - to spike by 2020 unless something is done to smoothen t
In this weekly recap of the UEFA Euro 2016 Tournament brought to you by Official Sponsor Hyundai Motor, we look back at the action that took place over the past week of footballing action.
The first match of the tournament was between hosts France and Romania, which proved to be a dramatic affair. France dominated posession in the first half, but struggled to create clear chances. The hosts eventually took the lead in the 57th minute through Olivier Giroud, but that lead did not last long,
The Government is all electrified about autonomous vehicles. Like governments elsewhere, it sees huge and vast potential in this new technology. And it has little to do with revenue for it.
Last month, it launched a request for information (RFI) for mobility- on-demand and autonomous buses trials at One-North business park.
If successful, autonomous buses could improve commuter service without the perennial constraints of labour cost or labour shortage.
Mobility-on-demand services could
Good news! Toyota has just released the most hardcore factory version of the 86. It is created by Toyota Techno Craft, a subsidiary of Toyota Japan and also the developers from Toyota Racing Development (TRD). Bad news is none of the 100 units will be coming here since it is only meant for its own market. Oh well.
Anyway, what's new in this Toyota 86 16R40? For starters, you get a new aerodynamic front bumper with canards.
Fenders get wider to accommodate the new forged magnesium 18
Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso claims that current regulations is killing all the fun out of F1. And if things don't become more exciting in the next season, Alonso might be looking at joining other racing series, according to Motorsport.com. McLaren which isn't doing as well as they would like to currently, would definitely benefit in some rule changes too.
Thankfully, 2017 will see an increase in aerodynamic and mechanical grip, as wider wings and tyres become the new standard. I
There are various meanings behind tailgating or "poking" another motorist.
In general, it is used to show displeasure towards a motorist who is "road hogging" lane 1 of an expressway and telling him to move to a slower lane, or to "jio" someone to race.
Watch this video of an Audi S3 who decided to "poke" and tailgate a Honda Accord Euro R to show his displeasure:

The design of the Porsche Panamera has been divisive, to say the least. Pretty much any Porsche with four doors was going to draw the ire of enthusiasts, but the fast-back-style roofline, prominent curves and seemingly never-ending hood have particularly irked some brand loyalists.
Finally, Porsche's headman is admitting to that.
CEO Matthias Mueller said the appearance – inside and out – has missed the mark, and changes are coming for the redesign. "There have been some small mistakes a
The new Ford Focus ST made its global debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and the most advanced Focus ST yet offers new chassis control technologies, tuned suspension and steering, and bespoke tyre specification that ensure an even more responsive, balanced and refined driving experience.

The 2003 model of the Mazda6, known as the Maliu in China, is still sold as a new car at Mazda showrooms, such as this one in Guangzhou.
11 years after its release in China, the Mazda6 sedan is more popular than ever there. The Japanese sports car is in such an amazing demand, in fact, that even after undergoing several upgrades, the original 11-year-old version is still being displayed in showrooms as a "new car."
Sales of the car -- known locally as the Maliu, from the Chinese words "hors
The special edition Lancer Evo X that will begin production soon will be a five-speed GSR model with more horsepower, a tweaked suspension and some additional fancy "bits and pieces." We didn't expect to be this, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Final Concept with an ECU tune and new HKS turbo making its 2.0-liter engine good for 473 horsepower. That's 183 more ponies than the stock model.
Based on a five-speed GSR, on top of that power boost it gets larger intakes and intercoolers, an upgr
