EVENT: SUNDAY JOYRIDE – BRUNEI RETROCAR

Good day everyone! This post is dedicated for our very good friends from Brunei Darussalam. Let’s start off with this mindset-changer B310, for those who are in dilemma of owning one. A very good example of proper restoration to refer with.

All the way from Kuala Belait, eye-catcher as always, Saiful’s KE70 is now transferring it’s 20v’s torque to a charming set of Work Equip 03.

When the others are focusing on TE35/TE37 conversion, the owner of this KE35 has own taste to amplify the stock outlook. Noted the trend of Californian Vitaloni fender mirror nowadays, self must find one before the price skyrocketed to USD1,000.

The muscular-look on this Celeste is totally undeniable and irresistible. Kindly note the same platform was used on Plymouth Arrow.

Birds and insects were in havoc fleeing for life when this piston-less Savanna rolled in. The period-correct P1 Racing seems acceptable for this SA22C.

A mature looking E7 in wagon form, sleek and neat enough to be driven daily. I bet the owner is still in progress to transform his wagon to a wicker ride.

A mean SE70 with Breakthrough Engine with Advanced Mechanism System. Fabulous inside and outside...

…with a set of killer-specs 15-inches SSR Longchamp, everyone envy.

See you again in Part 3. Ciao!

GATHERING: MAYDAY THIRD ANNUAL MEET

While some of people from West Malaysia were busy catching sideways action of Formula Drift Malaysia 2012 at Speed City KL, the OCCC members could not missed up to have the same 'havoc' in Borneo. This event was actually held to celebrate third anniversary of the club, kinda surprised to know the truth that two sweet years had passed, with the increasing number of members and rides.

The guy of the pro photoshoot's ride, Asrol Ardi with his stunning KE70 coupe, next to infamous Mazli's Mango Sprinter.

Take a closer look at these two beauties, both coupe on nice offset wheels, tidy and attracting paint-job. If I weren't into KE25/TE27s, I am definitely will have a hard time to choose one of these rides.

Romy never fails to impress everyone with his JDM TA22 Celica, powered by 16-valves 4A-GE.

A good example of a properly done restoration job on first-generation Celica coupe, spotted a freshly installed ducktail spoiler to aid the traction.

Next to this TA22 was Kamarulzaman's Corolla DX, striking on 2K orange paint-job. Notice an uncle behind there with his clean stock C31 Laurel.

The car that makes everyone envy (especially me), all the time...

...and these two, for sure.

I'll be back with a lot more from Asrol Ardi's lens very soon!

MEMBER: NOT YOUR ORDINARY HARDTOP

Back in 90's, we may spot a lot of third-gen Corollas cruising on the road; and for sure, it is driven by old chap in their 50's or older. But nowadays, it is one of hot stuff hunted by young fella as a restoration project due to its aerodynamics bodyline, which creates a fierce look.

To make it short, let me introduce you the 'senyumsuka' project. One of the best fully restored hardtop ever, and the owner himself is a hardcore member of OCCC, Mr. Hanif Hazemi. The best thing about hardtop is that it comes with frameless door and Toyota removed B pillar for sportier look (lightweight maybe?). With few inches lower roof, hardtop KE35/TE37 for sure has lower coefficient of drag compared to its predecessor in sedan or wagon form.

Every third-gen Corolla owner out there is craving for this facelift, I know.

...and a pair of TE37 taillight.

Original Trueno/Levin bullet fender mirror and now it costs a bomb. Don't ask me why.

BBS mesh completes the exterior.

That's all for now.. See ya.
