Demo car | Mazda RX-8

IN Mazda, Borla®, Purple, RX-8

New to the Burnpavement garage is a sexy Mazda RX-8. Finished in deep purple, this rotary-powered coupé will double up as a demo car for our Borla® exhaust systems set to arrive in 2 weeks.


Disc brakes are fitted to all wheels, with ventilated discs and Brembo double piston, fixed calipers at the front. Suspension is derived from a tried and tested Abarth configuration with the front provided by independent McPherson struts, while rear suspension is semi-independent with a torsion bar. Abarth has also fitted a larger anti-roll bar together with front springs that are 20% harder than those of a standard suspension system.

Italian Sting | Abarth Punto Evo

The scorpion stings again! This baby 'Evo' is Fiat's hotter Punto hatchback. Powered by a 170bhp Multiair 1.4 turbo petrol engine, it has some 'go' to match it's racy looks.


So what is it about this car that appeals? Well for starters, the C30 is a looker that would definitely attract the yuppie crowd with its stylish and chic design, turning heads as it cruises down Shenton Way.

IN Wearnes Automotive, Volvo, C30, T5, SM Motors

Volvo's iteration of a funky and chic lifestyle car seems to improve by leaps and bounds, more so with this snazzy new C30 T5 that we test drove.

Honda Prelude 2.3A

IN Honda, Prelude, Coupé

She's a pretty 18 year-old with a curvaceous hot body and a voluptuous rear-end. They sure don't make coupés like they used to.

Double Dose | A Pair of EVO GSRs

IN Evo, GSR, Yellow, White

What's interesting about these cars is that they belong to the same owner. Many people have two or more cars, but rarely does a person buy the same model, twice! It simply shows how great the Evo is.

Down Boy! Lowering the Miata

IN Miata, Suspension, Coilover, Lowering

From springs to coilovers and matching sports suspension sets, the Miata has such a wide range of lowering options, it wasn't easy choosing one...


Looks like a ball from here. Just the way we pictured it!

16 inch deep dish XXR Wheels with 0 offset!

IN Mazda, MX5, Roadster, Deep dish, Wheels

Yup, you read that correctly, ZERO offset! The Miata is known to be a 'girly' car, so we decided to add more muscle to the car with these wide wheels.


Aggressive new front design an improvement on what was already one of the most handsome cars on our roads.

Swede Sensation | Saab 9-3 Combi 2.8T V6

IN Saab, 9-3, Black, Wagon, Swede

Having the top-of-the-line 2.8 turbo-charged engine is not enough for this 9-3 owner. Already pushing close to 300bhp at stage 1, he's not stopping and has already planned his stage 2 mods.

It's A Materia World | Daihatsu Materia

This bippu styled Materia 1.5A might not be a pavement burner, but its cool and funky looks give it the right amount of street-cred to cruise down any boulevard.

Loud & Proud | Evolution 9 GSR

IN Evo, Blue, Gsr

This heavily modded menace once ruled our streets with a claimed 700bhp! It has since been de-kitted and the body exported. Which is not a bad thing in my opinion...


This yellow Silvia S15 was setup so nicely with what looked to me like a Vertex kit. Staggered wheels so neatly tucked under the fenders.

Carpark Shoot | Formula Drift Singapore 2010

IN Carpark, Spectators, Candid

Every now and then, we spot some sweet cars at an event and snap a few photos. These were from the Formula Drift Singapore 2010.


Nissan Silvia S15s or S13s with S15 front-conversions all a common weapon of choice in the 'world of sideways'.

Formula Drift Singapore 2010

IN Drift, Formula Drift, Singapore

Smoke, burnt rubber and wailing tyres. Just a few things you'll experience if you spent a day at a drift event. And this year's Formula Drift Singapore did not disappoint.


Lovely dual exhausts give more bark to the car aurally and visually.

A Perfect 10 | Mitsubishi Evo X

IN Evo, Red,

Some cars are just over modified. For cars like the Evo 10, the stock 300bhp is more than enough. Add a little cosmetic touches, and you have (to us) the perfect 10.

Give me a Boost! Honda Accord 2.0 JDM

The owner of this Honda Accord regretted not getting an Euro R instead. So he turbocharged it. Yeah ok, I guess that'll work too.


Even though the 1 series is really like a squashed 3 series - some angles are still rather handsome.

Black is back! BMW 135i Coupe

IN Bmw, 135i, Black, 19

Powered by a 3-liter twin-turbocharged engine producing 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. This baby Bimmer is in Porsche Cayman S territory - at half the price.


Original colour code for this Deep Green Toyota paintwork was sourced for and meticulously sprayed on over weeks - the outcome is a rich and glossy job that is capable of turning one green with envy. Front bumper sports a reproduced TRD chin spoiler (TRD turns 35 this year by the way - Ed.).

Back to the Old Skool. Toyota Celica TA22

IN Celica, Green, Retro

Classic cars are a rare sight in modern Singapore, even rarer is this beautiful example of a 1970's Toyota Celica TA22. Restored to a gorgeously pristine state, it's arguably the best unit around.
