With the Middle East crisis still looming dangerously to boiling point, oil prices have shot<br />
up and this in turn has forced oil companies in Singapore to increase petrol prices. Some<br />
drivers of turbocharged 4WD have had to ease up on the throttle as 98 octane petrol<br />
has crossed the $2/litre barrier. A friend of mine even offered me an $8000 discount on<br />
his 2006 Mitsubishi Airtrek Turbo to take it off his hands as he was spending more than<br />
$1K on his monthly petrol bills and that’s just for commuting between his home and<br />
office. It is apparent that oil prices will remain high due to its limited availability and<br />
car companies will be focusing on new technologies such as EV Electric Vehicles and<br />
Hybrid technologies. Even Mitsubishi has made an announcement that they would be<br />
moving away from low volume models such as the Evolution series and concentrate on<br />
EV and Hybrid cars. Sob…<br />

NEW FOCUS HAS<br />
CHILTON’S APPROVAL<br />
16-year-old Female Kart Racer Beitske<br />
Visser, from the Netherlands, has<br />
been honoured at the CIK-FIA Awards<br />
Ceremony and presented with the<br />
Joint CIK-FIA Women & Motor Sport<br />
Commission Award by Commission<br />
President Michèle Mouton for her<br />
achievements in the 2010 CIK-FIA<br />
Karting Championships.<br />
Brands Hatch. The car will make its world<br />
competition debut in this year’s Dunlop MSA<br />
British Touring Car Championship with the<br />
Arena-run Aon outfit and for <strong>2011</strong>, it is also<br />
switching from LPG to petrol-fuelled Fordbased<br />
Next Generation Touring Car-spec<br />
engines prepared by Mountune.<br />
Chilton was able to complete<br />
55 laps during the<br />

the black and the silver fern, while the green carries on from previous years. The roof<br />
will also include a large Silver Fern.<br />
JOINT AWARD FOR<br />
FEMALE KART RACER<br />
In 2010, Beitske became the first<br />
female driver to ever win a European<br />
Championship round in a gearbox<br />
class when she beat 52 other racers to win Race 1 at the second round of the CIK-FIA European<br />
KZ2 Championship series in Varennes, France. A significant achievement for such a young<br />
aspiring driver, having come out fourth overall from a field of 82 racers, at the end of the<br />
four-race Championship.<br />

MCLAREN UNVEILS THE NEW<br />
MP4-12C GT3 RACER<br />
Jointly developed with CRS Racing, the McLaren MP4-12C GT3 racer<br />
features a composite body with a new front splitter, revised side skirts,<br />
and an aggressive rear diffuser, as well as wider front fenders, carbon<br />
fibre canards, and a fixed rear wing.<br />
The car is around 100mm wider than the standard production car and its<br />
twin-turbo 3.8-litre V8 engine has been “tuned to race specification”. It<br />
was also revealed that there is a new Ricardo paddle-shift transmission<br />
which promises near instantaneous gear changes. Other performance<br />
upgrades include a new bespoke suspension which ditches the standard<br />
car’s ProActive Chassis Control System for race-specific dampers and<br />
anti-roll bars. There is also a revised electronics package and a high<br />
performance braking system with Akebono callipers.<br />
ŠKODA INTRODUCES<br />
NEW FABIA R2 RALLY CAR<br />
With the Fabia R2, Škoda is introducing<br />
a new rally car in the market, which<br />
is to be used in the rally category R2.<br />
The car was developed, extensively<br />
tested, and prepared for its use in rallies<br />
for over almost two years.<br />
In principle, the Fabia R2 is based<br />
on the series model of the popular<br />

FIRST PODIUM<br />
OF <strong>2011</strong> ACHIEVED<br />
Matt Neal has qualified on pole position for the opening<br />
round of the <strong>2011</strong> Dunlop MSA British Tourin Car<br />
Championship at the Brands Hatch circuit in Kent.<br />
Worcestershire’s Neal, driving his Honda Racing Team’s<br />
new turbocharged Civic, set a qualifying lap record<br />
of 48.21s to achieve pole. Over such a short lap (The<br />

a staggering 0.255s clear of his rivals, headed by young<br />
charger Andrew Jordan in his Pirtek Racing Vauxhall<br />

The franchise has become famous over the years for its focus on<br />

A FIRST FOR<br />
RUSSIA IN FIA GT3<br />
The FIA GT3 European Championship will set another<br />
landmark in its 6-year history as Europe’s most<br />
successful sportscar championship, when it becomes<br />
the first series to stage an international car race in<br />
Russia on the 20/21 August <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
Situated 300km west of Moscow near the border with<br />
Belarus, the 3.362 km/1.9 mile Smolenskring will host<br />
Rounds 9 & 10 of the <strong>2011</strong> FIA GT3 European Championship in August, the first races on the <strong>2011</strong><br />
calendar where the series will be the main event. The 15-metre wide, 13 corner race track was<br />
designed by Formula 1 circuit architect Hermann Tilke and opened with a round of the European Truck<br />
Racing Championship on the 7th August 2010. The circuit layout makes good use of the terrain, with<br />
ample overtaking opportunities for sportscars around the 3.3km length which should provide plenty of<br />
entertainment for drivers and spectators alike.<br />
The <strong>2011</strong> FIA GT3 European Championship will take place over six double header events across Europe<br />
starting in Portugal on the 7/8 May at the Autodromo do Algarve. The first four events will be with the<br />
FIA GT1 World Championship before finishing the season as the headline series with two events at the<br />
Smolenskring in Russia and finishing at Zandvoort in The Netherlands in October.<br />

THE 5TH INSTALLMENT<br />
Dom out from prison and escaped through several countries to<br />
elude authorities. Now, backed into a corner with no place to run,<br />
the racers must assemble an elite team of racers from their family<br />
and friends to pull off one last job—a heist worth $100 million. The<br />
prize: their freedom.<br />
But the racers will have to race for their lives through the streets<br />
of the city, against the corrupt businessman who wants them dead,<br />
and against the Federal agent Luke Hobbs (played by Dwayne Johnson)<br />
and his strike team, assigned to track Toretto and O’Conner<br />
down and arrest them. But in the labyrinth of streets in Rio, Hobbs<br />
realises he can’t tell the racers apart from the businessmen’s killers.<br />
It’s up to Hobbs to catch the racers first, before they are totalled—for<br />
good.<br />

TO OPEN NEW<br />
R & D CENTRE<br />
IN SINGAPORE<br />
Continental has held the groundbreaking ceremony for its<br />
new Research & Development centre in Singapore. The new<br />
Continental Singapore building aims to meet the demand<br />
of growing engineering capacities caused by the worldwide<br />
business expansion and particularly the growth in Asia.<br />
The relocation project of Continental Automotive Singapore<br />
started in April 2010. According to the project plan, by<br />
April 2012 the new site will have a 7-storey office and R&D<br />
building with a total floor space of 10,170 square meters. It<br />
is estimated to possess a seating capacity of 860 employees.<br />
Based on future development, it is planned to reach a<br />
capacity of 1,000 with a provision for an additional floor.<br />
The new Continental Singapore building serves three major<br />
purposes: an office site for R&D and related daily operation;<br />
a specialized automotive product verification and validation<br />
hub; a reliability test laboratory as well as a test car space<br />
for in-vehicle R&D activity.<br />
Under the highest level of quality control management, the<br />
new centre will drive the product creation process from<br />
conception to realization and finally onto the mass production<br />
of instrumentation clusters and displays, multimedia and<br />
telematic devices, radio navigation devices, centre stacks,<br />
interior modules and control systems.<br />

PORSCHE CARRERA CUP <strong>ASIA</strong><br />
RECORD BREAKING GRID<br />
The Porsche Carrera Cup Asia looks set for a record-breaking<br />
ninth season with an unprecedented 28 drivers signing<br />
up for the region’s most prestigious GT championship.<br />
A unique ingredient of the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia’s<br />
soaring success is the dual championship system, where<br />
professional racing drivers compete alongside amateur<br />
racers in two, points-scoring classes.<br />
The countdown to the start of the stellar season, which<br />
includes 11 rounds, began on March 12 at Malaysia’s<br />
Formula 1 facility, Sepang International Circuit. The<br />
bumper field of sportscar specialists from across the<br />
globe will take their awesome Porsche 911 GT3 Cup racing<br />
65,000 general admission tickets for the <strong>2011</strong> Formula<br />
1 Singtel Singapore Grand Prix , which will be held at<br />
the Marina Bay Street Circuit from 23 to 25 September<br />
has been released for sale. A number of new ticketing<br />
initiatives for the event has been introduced. Increased<br />
discounts for early bird grandstand buyers, offering up<br />
to a 17% saving on regular priced tickets. The tickets<br />
will be priced differently across two phases: Early Bird<br />
(3 March to 8 May) and Regular (9 May to race week).<br />
A new group booking scheme for the three largest<br />
grandstands – the Bay, Padang and Pit Grandstands is<br />
also being introduced. The Group Booking Special offers<br />
savings of up to 10% for fans who purchase four or<br />
more tickets in one booking. For greater savings, fans<br />
can put together a group of eight or more and enjoy<br />
up to 16% off. By combining the early-bird discounts<br />
with the Group Booking Special, fans can enjoy up to<br />
30% off a regular priced individual ticket in selected<br />
grandstands.<br />
In addition, the Stamford Grandstand has been lowered<br />
by S$200 in order to achieve optimal commonality of<br />
pricing amongst the grandstands in Zone 4. Spectators<br />
at the Stamford Grandstand will enjoy close proximity<br />
to the main entertainment stage in the Padang.<br />
steeds for a shakedown in the official pre-season test. The<br />
season proper gets underway as part of the <strong>2011</strong> Formula<br />
1 UBS Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai from April 15-17.<br />
Top finisher in 2010 amongst this year’s Class A professional<br />
field is Team Jebsen’s Rodolfo Avila of the Macau SAR. The<br />
24-year-old finished his first ever season with Team Jebsen<br />
– and just his third year of GT competition – a creditable<br />
4th overall. Singapore’s Mok Weng Sun returns with Team<br />
Porsche Club Singapore Racing, this time back in Class A<br />
having dominated the amateur category last season to<br />
take the title for the second time.<br />
To further benefit patrons with limited mobility, an<br />
additional wheelchair accessible platform will be<br />
constructed at Zone 1 this year. In addition, multi awardwinning<br />
band Linkin Park has also been confirmed as the<br />
headlining act on race day, 25 September <strong>2011</strong> at the<br />
Padang main stage. Tickets will be available for sale online,<br />
via the ticketing hotline, as well as all SISTIC outlets.<br />

Rally championship (MRC) to be run off at the<br />

MINI BACK IN WRC<br />
The MINI John Cooper Works WRC by MINI’s official team for the FIA World Rally<br />
Championship (WRC) was unveiled in its WRC colours — red, white and black — on<br />
11 April in Oxford.<br />
‘MINI is back in the world of rallying,’ said Dirk Hollweg, head of MINI<br />
Motorsport. The last time MINI rallied was in the 1960s, where the classic<br />
MINI Cooper S won countless victories. Now, MINI hopes to mark their return<br />
with more of the same.<br />
Team Principal David Richards said, ‘Everyone is now looking forward to<br />
getting the WRC season started.’ That start will come on 5-8 May, when MINI<br />
takes part in the Rally d’Italia Sardegna, held across the island of Sardinia.<br />
Team drivers, Northern Irishman Kris Meeke, will run as number 37; and<br />
Spaniard Dani Sordo will carry number 52. These are the same car numbers<br />
used during MINI WRC Team’s back-to-back victories of the legendary Monte<br />
Carlo Rally in 1964 and 1965.<br />

F1 FEVER IN THE<br />
HEART OF ORCHARD<br />
The month of April has proved to be a<br />
mouthwatering one for motor racing fans in<br />
Singapore, with the Red Bull Speed Street<br />
showcar event on 24th April taking the F1<br />
fever into the heart of Singapore’s shopping<br />
high street, entertaining an audience 50000<br />
strong that lined every single roadside spot<br />
and elevated surface along an 800m stretch<br />
of Orchard Road, closed for this event.<br />
The highlight of Speed Street was former<br />
Red Bull Racing driver David Coulthard’s<br />
performance with the RB7 F1 car, which<br />
swept last year’s Formula 1 driver and<br />
constructor championships. In addition to<br />
blazing fast sprints between ION Orchard/<br />
Mariott Singapore and Buyong Road near<br />
the Istana, Coulthard also performed<br />
manoeuvres such as engine breaks, donuts,<br />
AVENUE FOR<br />
MOTORSPORTS<br />
ASPIRANTS<br />
Singapore is seeing the interest in motor sports<br />
evolving and reaching a new peak, driven<br />
by the highly successful Formula 1 races.<br />
With not every layman getting a chance to<br />
experience the motor sports event and much<br />
to the conjecture is often misconstrued, ITE<br />
College West has decided to set this right<br />
by teaming with Kartmaster to conduct a<br />
“Racing Team Technical Training Course” for<br />
ITE students. This course will help would-be<br />
motor sports aspirants to gain a foothold into<br />
this glamorous sport.<br />
The course will be conducted by a renowned<br />
instructor Mr. Roland Chong who has been<br />
involved in motor sports events for many years<br />
in the international arena. Being an official in<br />
Singapore Motor Sports Association (SMSA),<br />
Mr Chong has officiated in the Singapore’s<br />
Formula 1 event.<br />
The scope of this course will include classroom<br />
sessions, rules and regulations, driving theory<br />
and kart preparation before embarking on<br />
the practical aspect of the course. Those<br />
who make the grade will have a chance to<br />
experience the real thing. They also will learn<br />
about the race management. Outstanding<br />
students will be engaged by other teams in<br />
the Singapore Kart Championship (SKC) &<br />
Asia Kart Open Championship (AKOC) events.<br />
As Karting is often used as a foundation<br />
for motor sports activities with Formula 1<br />
being the pinnacle, this locally trained pool<br />
of talents may one day become a “Team<br />
and burnouts, which are rarely seen, if ever,<br />
in Formula 1 races.<br />
In between Coulthard’s performance<br />
segments, former F1 driver Alex Yoong also<br />
performed similar tricks in a sleek silver Audi<br />
R8 LMS, while French professional racing driver<br />
and stuntman Frederic Johais performed a<br />
variety of stunts in a blue-and-silver Renault<br />
Megane RS, at one point climbing through<br />
the driver’s window and standing on the car’s<br />
roof while it was still moving forward.<br />
The last time that a Red Bull Racing showcar<br />
performed in Singapore was back in 2008’s<br />
February Chingay Parade and was a mere<br />
sneak peek as the F1 car segment lasted<br />
barely five minutes before the Chingay<br />
Parade proper. The time, the demonstrations<br />
lasted nearly an hour.<br />
Singapore” in the Formula 1 racing scene.<br />
A first of its kind in Singapore, it will<br />
provide invaluable on-job-training learning<br />
opportunities, which is difficult to attain in<br />
daily life work experiences. Upon completion<br />
of the course, the students will be able<br />
to function in various team roles. Officials<br />
Together with the demonstrations, Red Bull<br />
Racing merchandise was also on sale. Sony<br />
Computer Entertainment and Sony Singapore<br />
also set up a gaming area featuring the Red<br />
Bull X2010 supercar in its PS3 game GT5,<br />
alongside four race simulators courtesy of<br />
Singapore GP.<br />
David Coulthard, who signed autographs<br />
after the end of the demonstration, said,<br />
“I enjoyed performing on one of the world’s<br />
most glamorous shopping strips today. The<br />
street was very smooth and suitable for the<br />
speed of the car. The turnout was impressive<br />
and I would definitely love to drive in<br />
Singapore again.” We definitely hope to see<br />
him again too.<br />
Videos of the event can be found on iR’s<br />
Facebook page.<br />
from the Singapore Sports Council (SSC) and<br />
Singapore Motor Sports Association (SMSA) were<br />
present at the inauguration ceremony on 25th<br />
Feb <strong>2011</strong>, and Ms Jennifer Keurulainen from<br />
the SSC was delighted that such a program was<br />
initiated serving a platform for youth to grow<br />
and eventually integrate into the motorsports<br />
environment.

OUT!<br />
While Ryuji Miki currently represents Sparks<br />
Motorsports in drift races with his Nissan<br />
S15 ride, we take you on a blast from his<br />
past with his former smoking side winding<br />
ride - the Apexi RX-7.<br />
Who could forget the excitement of our<br />
very first Formula Drift Singapore in 2008?<br />
With all the tyre smoke, gorgeous cars<br />
and impressive displays of skills from the<br />
participating drift-drivers, it was worth<br />
standing in the scorching sun to catch the<br />
action live. After many crowd-pleasing<br />
rounds, where the drift driver fights for the<br />
place of champion, Ryuji Miki clinched the<br />
title as he out-drifted all the competition.<br />
We present to you his former gorgeous<br />
Apexi RX-7 for your viewing pleasure.<br />
ORIGINS<br />
Ryuji Miki, a racing and drifting driver from<br />
Tottori Prefecture, Japan, was the 2004 D1<br />
Grand Prix champion. Miki also competed<br />
in the Net’z Cup, a one make series for the<br />
Toyota Altezza between 2005 and its final<br />
season in 2006 and is nicknamed “Doki-<br />
Doki kun” due to his drifting style. Taking<br />
part in many competitions, he has left a<br />
trail of outstanding wins in the history of<br />
drift driving. Throughout the 2007 season,<br />
despite having to adapt to driving a left<br />
hand drive car for the first time, not to<br />
mention within a full season of racing,<br />
Ryuji managed to finish the Formula D<br />
season with great results. Reaching the<br />
rank of top 16 within 4 events, Ryuji finally<br />
adapted to the car, finishing 14th overall<br />
for the season.<br />
UNDER THE HOOD<br />
With Apexi as its performance workshop,<br />
you can be sure of this RX-7 having the<br />
full works done. To encourage the car to<br />
breathe better, an Apexi air filter was<br />
installed. An Apexi AX75F82 Turbo Kit, plus<br />
an Apexi V-mount intercooler, coupled with<br />
an Apexi Titanium R95 SPL Exhaust System,<br />
gives the car maximum performance. There<br />
is also an Apexi Power FC ECU, combined<br />
with a Sard fuel pressure regulator and 6<br />
Sard 550 Injectors, maintaining a constant<br />
pressure of fuel. Changing to an Ogura<br />
single plate clutch for smooth take away<br />
and gear changes, handling is improved by<br />
the inclusion of Apexi N1 PRO SPL dampers,<br />
a Cusco 8-point Roll Cage, with the added<br />
grip of Goodyear tyres and Rays Gram Lights<br />
rims. All these add to the ear-piercing lawn<br />
mower sound when the engine starts up.<br />
AESTHETICS<br />
This RX-7 stands out from the crowd with its
unique chrome Apexi full body decals that<br />
catches the sun rays and gives the ride an<br />
unearthly shimmer. This tends to emphasise<br />
the strong aura of the ride when Ryuji Miki<br />
is driving it. Grounded by an Apexi carbon<br />
wing, Ryuji Miki’s RX-7 is lowered and<br />
installed with a Car Make T&E Vertex Aero<br />
Kit, enabling the car to handle wonderfully<br />
and look good at the same time.<br />
VERDICT<br />
With the live demonstration at the<br />
competition, no one can doubt that<br />
this ride is capable of eye-popping<br />
performance. Together with Ryuji Miki’s<br />
skills and experience, it was simply history<br />
in the making. R<br />

RISING!<br />
EDITED BY JEREMY TAN<br />
PHOTOS BY PETER LEE<br />
The CLS is an executive-sized sedan<br />
made by Mercedes-Benz, which is a cross<br />
between a performance coupé and an<br />
executive sedan. The continuous bodyline<br />
from front to back is one sleek curve which<br />
emphasizes its aerodynamic shape. While<br />
the design compromises the rear passenger<br />
space, which makes this car purely a twoplus-two<br />
seater only, you cannot overlook<br />
its sleekness and style. Intended to fit in<br />
between the E and S class sedans in their<br />
range, this CLS car also has a similar styling<br />
to the new Jaguar sedans, which the<br />
designers at Mercedes-Benz must have had<br />
their eyes on. Many were also confused<br />
about whether the CLS was named as a<br />
sedan version of the CLK coupés that were<br />
previously manufactured. The CLS 55 AMG<br />
are modified versions of the CLS sedans<br />
produced by the tuners at Mercedes-<br />
AMG which feature sport seats, larger air<br />
intakes, bigger rims with wider tyres and<br />
quad exhaust pipes.<br />
UNCOMMON PERFORMER<br />
The owner of this sleek performer, Jason,<br />
had always wanted an uncommon and fast<br />
performance sedan. So, the most fitting car<br />
for him in the end was the Mercedes-Benz<br />
CLS 55 AMG. In stock condition, this car<br />
could produce about 472 hp with 700 Nm of<br />
torque, but wanting his car to be in another<br />
class of uniqueness, he wanted to see if he<br />
could double the power rating into the 799<br />
hp regions. Finding a workshop with the<br />
technical know-how for the Mercedes engine<br />
was rather difficult, but in the end, Auto<br />
Spritze provided the expertise needed to<br />
fit the performance modifications properly<br />
and safely. Performance parts by MKB were<br />
extensively used as the stock components<br />
were swapped out with better performing<br />
ones such as the fuel rail, injectors, clutch,<br />
flywheel and final drive. A new MKB/AMG<br />
exhaust system was also installed.<br />
CUSTOM MADE<br />
Boosting horsepower with a supercharged<br />
engine is not an easy task as everything has<br />
to be tuned properly, to prevent over-heating<br />
and a catastrophic failure. Furthermore, with<br />
this being a European model, the difficulties<br />
were multiplied even more. One example<br />
was when the intake temperature kept rising<br />
while the engine was running; a solution was<br />
needed to cool the intake temperature before<br />
the air gets forced into the engine. After a few<br />
trial and error attempts, a custom intercooler<br />
This Mercedes-Benz CLS 55 AMG goes beyond<br />
mere luxury and prestige with its impressive<br />
performance abilities.
was designed and fabricated which worked<br />
perfectly with some fine tuning. With this<br />
car being such a unique model, most of the<br />
work on it had to be custom. This also meant<br />
that along with anything new, fresh problems<br />
and obstacles also surfaced along the way.<br />
Nonetheless, all of it was taken in stride<br />
and solved appropriately by Jason and the<br />
workshop. His car is now able to produce 616<br />
hp with 900 Nm of torque, a vast improvement<br />
from the stock figures.<br />
LOVE HANDLES<br />
To improve the car’s handling, AMG braces<br />
and bars were installed for a more rigid<br />
chassis. Along with the AMG Airmatic<br />
absorbers, the car now corners with much<br />
better accuracy and stability. New rims<br />
from Riverside and tyres from Michelin<br />
in 5x20 size with 255/30/20 tyres for<br />
the front, and massive 12x20 rims with<br />
325/25/20 tyres for the rear gives this car<br />
excellent road adhesion. The exterior of<br />

the car looks very much different due to<br />
the A.R.T. design wide body kit and the<br />
AMG rear spoiler that adds much needed<br />
down force at high speeds to keep the<br />
rear end stable. Inside the car you’ll<br />
find stock AMG dynamic seats, paddle<br />
shifters for quick gear changes, a carbon<br />
fibre gear knob and racing pedals. Inhouse<br />
is also a decent sound system with<br />

FIRMING THINGS<br />
The detrimental effects of stress from spirited driving in<br />
UP<br />
The detrimental effects of stress from spirited driving in<br />
time can weaken the structure of your car over time, more<br />
so when the car was not manufactured with performance<br />
handling to begin with.<br />
EDITED BY JEREMY TAN<br />
IR ADVISE<br />
So what can be done to rectify this problem? Let us cover a few basics before exploring<br />
on some ways of improving your car’s handling characteristics such as the addition of<br />
a strut bar.<br />
KNOWING THE CHASSIS<br />
First and foremost, the chassis is the main structure of the the modern automobile foundation<br />
to which all other components attach and react. It It holds the engine firmly in place and<br />
supports the suspension among other functions. A stiff chassis will perform better than one one<br />
that flexes easily due to road uncertainties, engine engine torque or hard cornering forces. To<br />
stiffen the chassis, is to adhere to one of the common upgrades on a modified car, which is<br />
to mount strut bars to provide extra stiffness between the strut towers.<br />
STRUT BARS INTRODUCTION<br />
A strut bar is designed to reduce strut tower flex by merging two parallel strut towers<br />
together. This transmits the load of each strut tower during cornering via tension and<br />
compression to the strut bar which shares the load between both towers and reduces chassis<br />
flex. In practical terms, this is used to spread weight out on the two front wheels of a car to help<br />
it corner better, making it sturdy.<br />
STRAPPING STRUT BARS<br />
Wheels solely propagate a car’s reaction to the ground and the objective is to firmly merge all<br />
of the points of the chassis where the suspension attaches. This technique will in effect give the<br />
car more rigidity and stability. In most front mounted engine cars, a strut bar can be installed<br />
between the upper mounting points for the shocks or struts. This component helps to promote<br />
a bit of stiffness across the top of the engine compartment or the rear shock towers. As a strut<br />
tower bar is designed to keep car's strut tower from flexing, they distribute the pressure applied<br />
to one strut tower when taking a turn, to both towers instead, so as to keep the wheels in<br />
position. Keeping the wheels in position helps maintain the tyres in the desired position on the<br />
road and this will help to improve traction on the turns. A rear strut tower bar is designed to<br />
work like the front bar by tying the two rear strut towers together, increasing the overall chassis<br />
stiffness. Rear strut bars minimize under steer due to less chassis flex and improves stability<br />
during corner braking.<br />
VERDICT<br />
Making the chassis stronger and stiffer regenerates the other components of the car. This<br />
endeavour not only boosts the car’s handling performance, but revitalises the car aesthetically<br />
as well. Strut bars are a must for any upgrade for a wider tyre and wheel combination. In<br />
summary, strut bars not only reinforce the sub frame and improve chassis stiffness, they also<br />
make steering quicker and more responsive. R
1. SAMSON STRUT BAR<br />
Samson’s strut bars combine performance and affordability<br />
with the objective of reducing your vehicle’s chassis flex.<br />
These strut-bars are compatible with factory suspension<br />
components and are ideal for road race applications or for<br />
spirited drivers who desire more precise handling.<br />
Every car owner needs passive<br />
braces to improve and reinforce<br />
the chassis and active components.<br />
Adhere to the strapping of strut bars<br />
onto your machine and embrace the<br />
sturdy feel of driving stability.<br />
A strut bar is designed to reduce the strut tower flex by merging two<br />
parallel strut towers together. This process absorbs the load of each<br />
strut tower during cornering via tension and compression of the strut bar<br />
which shares the load between both towers to reduce chassis flex. To<br />
garner the complete effect, one has to obtain the best quality parts that<br />
one can get. So what do you reckon of these recommendations?<br />
6. CARBING STRUT BAR<br />
Carbing strut bar is fully welded as it creates extremely high rigidity and<br />
weight reduction. This creates a unique strut bar that is both strong and<br />
lightweight. Carbing is able to create a unique strut bar which hybridises<br />
the strength of steel with the weight of aluminium.<br />
9. CUSCO STRUT BAR<br />
Cusco is a high performance Japanese suspension tuner<br />
that offers a strut tower bar for a wide variety of Japanese<br />
vehicles. Cusco strut bars utilize a tubular centre bar with<br />
powder coated blue bases which are adjustable. Installation<br />
is easy with the adjustable ends.<br />
2. ALUTEC STRUT BAR<br />
Alutec has constructed strut bars derived from aerospace<br />
grade aluminium materials which have superb tensile<br />
strength as they’re super lightweight. It is designed at such<br />
a high standard that not only offers perfect fitment but<br />
also higher rigidity from the bar itself.<br />

5. SUMMIT STRUT BAR<br />
Summit reinforces cars’ stability by improving chassis rigidity<br />
and reducing chassis flex. Proven strength accentuates reliability<br />
as the Summit strut bar is 50% stronger than other type of strut<br />
bars because the Summit strut bar has great density as it has<br />
three to four layers of tubing inside.<br />
8. MOTEC STRUT BAR<br />
Motec’s strut bar provides a natural dampening function as well as<br />
structural support for the vehicle’s suspension. The Motec strut bar is<br />
so efficient, it controls the speed at which weight is transferred in a<br />
car, stiffens the rear of the car and also prevents chassis flex.<br />
10. ADVANCE STRUT BAR<br />

JAPAN BRAKING<br />
PERFORMANCE<br />
With increased horsepower comes the need for<br />
extra stopping power and ATS has just the perfect<br />
solution to give give you the split-second edge over your<br />
competitors. Just check out their extensive range of of<br />
bolt-on Performance Big Brake Systems from from Japan.<br />
ATS Brake System, one of Japan’s foremost<br />
high-end premium brake kit manufacturers,<br />
have just launched their extensive range of<br />
high performance big brake systems for the<br />
Singaporean performance car driver seeking<br />
out the ultimate brake upgrade without<br />
breaking the bank. The full ATS range also<br />
caters to popular models like the Lancer<br />
EVO X, Honda S2000, Nissan 350Z, Honda<br />
Fit GE and an all-new 12-pot Performance<br />
System with 405mm rotors for the Nissan<br />
R35 GTR among others.<br />
MADE IN JAPAN<br />
Comprising of a pair of performance<br />
callipers, rotors, brake pads, steel-braided<br />
brake lines and all the required installation<br />
hardware, the Japan-manufactured<br />
ATS Performance Big Brake System is<br />
competition-ready right out of the box and<br />
has been given the ISO9000 and TUV seal<br />
of approval.<br />
UNIQUE CALIPER DESIGN<br />
Like most Japanese high-end premium<br />
performance brake manufacturers, each ATS<br />
calliper shell has to undergo a special casting<br />
process using premium-grade aerospace<br />
aluminium. ATS uses casting instead of forging<br />
because research has shown that this process<br />
makes the brake calliper stiffer and much<br />
stronger than most of the forged callipers in<br />
the market today. Realizing that having too<br />
many pistons or pistons that are too large can<br />
cause modulation problems, ATS has designed<br />
a proprietary staggered piston formula which<br />
provides progressively consistent braking in<br />
even the most extreme braking situations.<br />
SUPER THICK ROTORS<br />
It is a little known fact that ATS cross-drilled<br />
& slotted brake rotors are one of the thickest<br />
(Eg.:30/32mm for 330mm rotors, 32mm for<br />
355mm rotors, 34mm for 380mm rotors and<br />
36mm for 405mm rotors) in the market.<br />
Chemically-coated to prevent corrosion,<br />
these uniquely designed warp-free ATS crossdrilled<br />
and slotted brake rotors also feature<br />
specially designed tapered slots for enhanced<br />
noise reduction and are factory-balanced to<br />
prevent erratic vibrations or unwanted noise.<br />
THE ATS BENEFIT<br />
ATS Performance Big Brake Kit not only<br />
provides your drive with that ultra-high<br />
performance look and feel, it also exceeds<br />
your stock performance callipers in a number<br />
of key areas like improved heat dissipation,<br />
far shorter braking distance, better brake<br />
modulation with firmer brake pedal feel and<br />
most importantly, the elimination of brake<br />
fade under spirited circuit driving situations.<br />
HOSING<br />
BENEFITS<br />
Regardless of whether your car breathes<br />
naturally or via induced pressure, replacing<br />
factory hoses with high quality silicone<br />
items are a small modification that will<br />
prove useful in the long run. With increased<br />
durability, air/water flow and stiffness, your<br />
car remains cooler while performing better<br />
under tough conditions.<br />
HOSING EQUALITY<br />
Not all silicone hoses are created the same. Some<br />
companies utilize fillers in their manufacturing<br />
process, which diminishes the quality of silicone<br />
and causes premature wear and tear. With<br />
Samson’s hoses, only 100% high-grade silicone<br />
compliant to highest international standards<br />
are used, ensuring that their hoses last long and<br />
never deteriorate with time.<br />
Samson’s hoses are also reinforced with<br />
industrial-strength fabrics specially developed<br />
for automotive hosing purposes. These fabrics<br />
are designed to resist and reduce dilationrelated<br />
movements, such as sudden loss of<br />
boost, 100% handmade and hand inspected<br />
before anything even leaves the factory.<br />
A BOOSTED PURPOSE<br />
Samson’s high-grade silicone hoses are<br />
developed specially for coolant and boosted<br />
purposes, with extremely durable internal<br />
silicone linings that are able to withstand<br />
enormous amounts of pressure exerted by<br />
turbochargers. Metal inserts are also not<br />
spared the effort, as they are 100% precisionmachined<br />
alloy bonded to the silicone hoses<br />
via a unique manufacturing process.<br />
Samson hoses also feature multiple branches<br />
that provide reduced flow resistance,<br />
especially at junctions. This in turn increases<br />
the performance for cooling of turbos’ and<br />
provides added power.<br />
HOSE PERFECTION<br />
With handmade quality finishing and bespoke<br />
shapes and sizes available for almost any<br />
application, Samson’s hoses are guaranteed<br />
to keep your car running in tip-top condition,<br />
even in the harshest of conditions.<br />
TEXT EDITED BY JEREMY TAN<br />
Furthermore, the ATS front and rear<br />
Performance Big Brake System have been<br />
specially designed to work in unison with<br />
your factory-installed ABS to offer balanced<br />
overall torque ratio distribution to maximize<br />
the traction capabilities of both the front<br />
and rear wheels.<br />

WINDS<br />
A wind shapes nature in a way that creates unusual and intriguing formations. The Scirocco looks like a<br />
car that is shaped by the same forces, creating a car that looks menacing and sounds even better.<br />
The name of this beautifully styled sports<br />
coupe has a rather interesting background,<br />
originally derived from the Greek name<br />
“sirokos”, which is actually the name of a<br />
Mediterranean wind that forms itself from<br />
the Sahara and Arabian deserts and is pulled<br />
northward towards the Southern coasts of Europe.<br />
Most of the other VW car models have<br />
also been named after well known winds like<br />
the Passat, Jetta and the Bora.<br />
HISTORY<br />
Manufactured since 1974, the Scirocco is<br />
now in its third generation which went on<br />
sale to the public in Europe in 2008 and the<br />
rest of the world in 2009, but it only managed<br />
to reach our shores recently, but since<br />
then, people have been grabbing them off<br />
the shelves, probably due to its awesome<br />
cool and slick looks, coupled with two awesome<br />
engine choices and a super slick and<br />
advanced transmission system, D<strong>SG</strong>. The Scirocco<br />
in this article is powered by the venerable<br />
EA888 2.0-litre engine that has been<br />
tuned by mTm to make sure the car still goes<br />
like a bullet even with the additional weight<br />
of the ICE equipment.<br />
BIGGER IS BETTER<br />
Although the car originally came with a set<br />
of unique and good looking 18 inch rims, the<br />
owner eventually decided to have it traded<br />
for a new set of even larger 19 inch mTm<br />
Bimoto rims with a slightly darker grey colour<br />
than the original VW Interlagos alloys, but<br />
nonetheless, it fills the car’s already huge<br />
wheel arches better, and the thinner tyres<br />
definitely improve the car’s cornering abilities.<br />
The addition of the Charactere bodykit<br />
gives the entire car a slightly lowered and<br />
meaner look, plus the mTm quad catback exhaust<br />
system completes the aggressive styling<br />
while give the exhaust sound more body.<br />
Having a faster flowing exhaust system is also<br />
essential because the engine has also gotten<br />
an mTm stage 1 ECU tuning job to improve on<br />
its power output and responsiveness, so this<br />
new exhaust system is more than capable of<br />
getting rid of the extra unwanted exhaust<br />
gases from the engine. The BMC drop in air<br />
filter allows the engine to suck in clean air<br />
from the outside much easier and with less<br />
resistance than the original air filter. Controlling<br />
this car’s awesome acceleration and<br />
speeds is a set of TT-RS 4 pot brake callipers,

ON THE INSIDE<br />
Open the boot and you will find an audio install<br />
with shiny white enclosures around the<br />
amps and woofer, which looks a lot like as if<br />
it’s originally part of the car itself, a truly professional<br />
custom job carried out by blending it<br />
to the original fitments of the car.<br />
The first thing that you will notice is the Focal<br />
subwoofer located right in the centre, taking<br />
advantage of the space where the spare tyre<br />
used to be located at. On the left side of the<br />
woofer is a market leading and unbeatable<br />
music quality producing Pioneer DEQ-P90 Digi-<br />

tal Signal Processor to handle all the audio parameters<br />
and crossover settings, this processor<br />
is connected to a AXM-P90RS master unit<br />
which is located inside the cabin; all controls<br />
for the sound processor come from this single<br />
control unit.<br />
To the right side is a 1 fared Brax power capacitor,<br />
which stores electrical power for the<br />
Mosconi 2 channel power amplifier that’s used<br />
to drive the Focal subwoofer, and above these<br />
three items are two more Mosconi power<br />
amplifiers, which power the Micro Precision<br />
speakers. There’s a four channel amp to power<br />
the 7 series tweeters at the front as well as a<br />
pair of 5 series mid range speakers, while the<br />
last remaining amp is a two channel for powering<br />
the 7 series low-mid range speakers.<br />

This complete audio upgrade sound much like<br />
a audio competition ready car with its tonal<br />
accuracy, furthermore the audio staging and<br />
imaging is a top-notch setup too, an audio setup<br />
that needs to be heard to be appreciated,<br />
so if you ever come across this car, don’t miss<br />
your chance to audition it.<br />
CONCLUSION<br />
The owner has exceptional taste when it<br />
comes to upgrading cars, with great technical<br />
as well as aesthetic upgrades pairing up with<br />
an impressive sound system that would rival<br />
any top-class system in its segment. Having<br />
been through a long wait for the Scirocco, the<br />
owner has finally got what he wanted – and<br />
much more. R<br />
