Add More Horsepower!

Or EVOs, they said. Well, news flash, pals. EVOs are EVOs and Lancers are Lancers. Your Lancer is not an Evolution. With that in mind, let’s go through a selection of Lancers that has probably meet each of their fortunate and unfortunate events in the effort of becoming an EVOLUTION. The fortunate event? Having the ability to show off their friends that they have a fake or poser Evolution. The unfortunate event? Being put here by us :D.

This is a moderate textbook ricer. If you have no cash whatsoever to create the Evolution of your life, simply paint the hood and rims black, and you’re all set!

Or, you can always add those striking stripes and a humongous spoiler to mimic that Tomi Makinen Edition model.

You can also put some “gils” on the hood, and add a GT-Wing to it. As you can see, UPH is nowhere short of dumb students.

If a wing is not enough, non-functional and thick-as-hell diffusers would always do nicely. I’m beginning to wonder if that GTI emblem is fake. Well, may be it is!

You can even do it in white. It makes the Lanc… Sorry… EVOLUTION cleaner!

Or, you can do the combination of both elements! A soil plougher and a bad-ass wing! Works every time…

You see, mixing and matching elements are basically the basic inspiration for ricers. But if none of those tricks feel right on you…

You can always make one from scratch!

The Toyota Avanza/Daihatsu Xenia is undoubtedly the second in line when it comes to ricerboy’s ride of choice. With so many of them on the road, and almost each of them is registered to a “certain” club… Some sort of a gay club, perhaps… It’s almost undeniable that these siblings are the successors to those molested Honda Jazzes. We even have a second part for the Car Collection 2008 series, dedicated only for the Avanza/Xenia. So let’s start with the Daihatsu version:

As for this one, it’s probably better known as the skunk. If an Avanza version of this would be the Pepe Le Piu, this would be the Penelope Pussycat. Awww…

This one probably fits as Wolverine’s new ride. It goes along and matches his new uniform in the live action movie.

Autobots, transform and roll out! (insert transformation sound here) And remember… Robots don’t need license plates.

You know what, dude, we don’t even care if your name is Erny Cipto or Bambang Sudjatmiko (fictional name).

I still have logical explanation why someone would turn a decent car into something as fugly as this. Beware, though, it could probably eat you alive.

Here’s another view from the front. That license plate is the only good-looking thing left in this car, so someone would probably steal it if it’s not put behind the cage.

It’s either I’m seeing things, or those are really gigantic sperms attached to the car. And remember, guys, “Apapun mobilnya, velg-nya Fabulous Profound!”

But after everything that we’ve seen above, nothing has ever come close to…

The Mothership. Don’t worry, as seen in the movie, they’re friendly enough. Or at least that’s what they wanted us to believe…

The Toyota Corolla is undoubtedly one of the most famous Japanese car to ever take stance in Indonesia. From the old 1966 version, to the ever popular Corolla DX, to the Corolla they called “Greco”, and up the current Altis generation, they all have won the hearts of many Indonesian automotive enthusiasts, family, and of course… RICEBOYS. So, as always, let’s take a look on what these riceboys are capable of doing, to “enhance” the looks of their Corollas.

Let’s start with something mild, like the V16-powered “Greco” above. This, dear readers, have taken the term “Twin-Cam” to a whole new level of existence.

The owner of this Corolla figured that you need no taillights whatsoever in Bandung. So… Why not paint it black to the max? And the rear garnish is probably stolen :D.

On the speed department, many, and I’m gonna say it again, many riceboys love warp engines that much that they replaced the taillights with warp-10-capable nacelles.

Or even warp-20-capable nacelles, for that matter.

Some took it light with a blue mesh over the taillights. Perhaps it could produce blue + red = purple-lit taillights?

Some took it to the extreme with installing a bull bar to deter angkots.

But the true real deal is when you are able to upgrade your Corolla into a Lexus.

Facts:
Toyota Corolla, B 2111 SO, somewhere in Wijaya. (B)
Toyota Corolla, D 378 AJ, somewhere in Bandung. (B)
Toyota Corolla, D 1104 MI, somewhere in Bandung.
Toyota Corolla, B 786 WA, somewhere in Serpong. (B)
Toyota Corolla, B 1164 ZR, somewhere in Jakarta.
Toyota Corolla, unknown license plate, RS Haji, Pondok Gede. (Mpu Gondring)
Toyota Corolla, B 3569 XR, somewhere in Tanjung Duren. (XE)

PS: For D 1104 MI, we sort of lost track on who sent this one. Can someone confirm? 

For today’s Car Collection 2008 post, it is time for us to feature, none other but the Toyota Vios. As a replacement for the Soluna, Toyota jam packed this compact sedan with the advertisement “Fuelsaver & Speedmaker”. With that in mind, let’s see how creative riceboys can be…

This Dodge-Viper-esque Toyota Vios is a victim of confusion. One wants an overall racing-style modification, but at the same time, one also wants an elegant-style make up. That explains the racing stripes, stickers, and the Venerdi wheels.

And for crying out loud, it also has the Dub sticker.

It also has a boatload of aftermarket stickers on it, and no aftermarket parts estimated within.

For some reason, it is named “Chayenne”, and with those wings next to the Toyota emblem, this thing will surely… “Fly”…

The owner of this Vios, on the other hand, really put his mind in parallel with Toyota’s advertisement. Since it’s a fuel saver and a speed maker, perhaps the bigger the wing is, the faster and more economical it becomes…

Seen anything wrong with this one? I bet you don’t. But don’t mess around with it…

Because it has a 5.0 liter V8 engine. Why you say? Because this is not a Toyota Vios…

This is a Toyota King Avios. As if naming your car “King” would give you an extra 500HP boost.

As for this one, I don’t know if this should still be called a Vios. Maybe the owner is just “too” creative, because remember, guys… Only Jacobson can screw your car and make you pay for it!

Yep, you guessed it, alright! Nothing feels better than ending the week at AMHP with a selection of this year’s idiotic Honda Jazzes. Without further ado, let’s just get it over with…

This is what a Honda Jazz would look like if Scorpion King himself bought it. Red hot without mercy, huh? Yeah, we know.

I thought the trend for this fugly-kind-of-paint has ended, but apparently not to some people. They probably still love the decorative ornaments from Balamb Garden.

This one must be wickedly fast that it needs enormous air intakes on the front bumper to get the air flowing… I don’t know, air flowing or brain cells flowing? Anybody can get any better pictures of this one?

I don’t care if this is your daughter’s car, your girlfriend’s car, or even your tasteless mom’s car, the Astroboy sticker DOES ruin it all.

The next day, it changes plate numbers for some reason… Hmm… Curious…
