Beberapa minggu lepas, kami pernah menulis tentang 5 kereta sports Kei yang comel dari Bubble Era Jepun. Seperti yang kami nyatakan diatas, kali ini kami mahu bercerita tentang ‘hot hatch’ Kei pula. Idea bagi ‘hot hatch’ Jepun bukanlah konsep baru sama sekali. Dahulu kita ada Nissan March Super Turbo, Honda City Turbo II, dan juga Toyota Starlet Turbo S Limited. Tapi, kereta-kereta ini memang berkuasa dalam kelas mereka yang tersendiri dan bebas daripada undang-undang ketat kereta Kei. Ya, malah

A few weeks before, I wrote about 5 cute Kei sports cars from the Japanese Bubble Era. As I had teased in one of the captions, this time, it’s the turn of the little Kei hot hatches. The idea of a Japanese hot hatch wasn’t an entirely new concept. There was the Nissan March Super Turbo, the Honda City Turbo II, and the Toyota Starlet Turbo S Limited but those were powerful on their own and free from the strict regulations of a Kei car. Yes, even the City, despite its small looks, wasn’t technica

Mazda 3 yang terbaru sememangnya hatchback yang sangat kacak. Ada juga versi sedan, tetapi hatchback tampak lebih cantik. Daya tarikan Mazda 3 bukan sahaja dari luarannya, tapi lebih lagi. Mazda dikenali sebagai kereta yang seronok dipandu. Oleh itu, kami lebih berminat untuk tahu apa yang ada di bawah butnya. Mazda gemar menggunakan falsafah pemanduannya iaitu “Jinba Ittai” dan falsafah rekaannya, “Kodo”. Tapi, jika kita bincangkan tentang teras kereta ini, ia pastilah tren kuasanya. Ini meruju

The latest Mazda 3 is a very good-looking hatchback. There is a sedan version, but the hatchback just looks so much better. According to my colleague, the allure of the Mazda 3 isn’t just skin-deep. I reckon he quite liked it. Mazdas have been known as fun to drive, but I'm more curious about what lies underneath . Now, Mazda loves to spout its “Jinba Ittai” driving philosophy and “Kodo” design philosophy, but if we’re talking about the core of a car, it has to be the powertrain. And in this sen

Semakin lama, enjin menjadi semakin kecil disebabkan oleh satu ciptaan yang dibina sejak tahun 1905 lagi – iaitu pengecas turbo. Pada mulanya digunakan dalam kapal terbang dengan enjin radial, pengecas turbo ini kemudiannya digunakan di dalam enjin diesel berbilang silinder yang besar, dan akhirnya digunakan pada kereta produksi pada tahun 1960-an. Di Malaysia, pengecas turbo adalah cara yang bagus untuk menjana kuasa lebih tanpa perlu membayar cukai jalan yang lebih mahal untuk enjin berkapasit

Toyota in the 1990s was on a roll when it came to producing some of the greatest cars of the modern era. Models like the A80 Supra, SW20 MR2, the Z30 Soarer and even the X90 Chaser/Mark II/Cresta became modern cult classics among car fans. However, there is another Toyota model from that period that should also deserve to be a modern classic.

Engines are getting smaller and smaller by the day thanks to the help of an invention that dates all the way back to 1905 – the turbocharger. First used in aeroplanes with radial engines, the turbocharger was then used in big multi-cylinder diesel engines and finally found its way into production cars in the 1960s. In Malaysia, turbochargers are a great way to have more power while avoiding the more expensive road tax for large capacity engines. We are about to see more small turbocharged engine
