GT-styled & Ichigo-faced

The title of this post is probably complete gibberish to anyone who's not in Silvias or isn't a car nerd. I got to know the owner Vincent Tan and he sent me this awesome picture amongst others.

LOOK - Built by Malaysian tuner Monster Garage, his one-of-a-kind 180sx feature a custom GT-style widebody , with a S15 (ichigo) front conversion.

GO - The car is currently running 350 bhp at 1.2 bar of boost, courtesy of a Apexi turbine and mild head works.

TURN - Buddy Club specR coilovers with height and rebound adjustments help Vincent's 180sx to carve through corners.

STOP - To rein in the power, Brembo F40 calipers are installed up front paired with R32 calipers out back.


As fate would have it, I realized I have seen his car a couple of years back at a demo stand outside the Sepang F1 track during the Super GT race then.

Here's another picture I took then. Amazing styling coupled with 50 more bhp than the GT300 series, it looks ready to rock and roll with the best that Japan has to offer!
