Singapore Garage (R)

While being in Singapore, our local friends from the car magazine industry took us around and showed us local garages and shops in the country.

I was amazed on how this specific garage we checked out.

Garage R. I think some of the picture I took can be self-explanatory since I, myself, cant even explain how awesome this place was.

Reason # 1


True Garage have cars on display that have been worked on or workers car.


One of the FIVE (5) R35 GTR that was being worked on... at any given day, there is an upward of 10 or more!

This particular one was on BBS LM


This garage is also a grey market importer/exporter... gotta stay up on the game and expand! To my surprise there was a showroom floor upstairs.

Their pride and joy



A car given to them prior to winning a race, I forgot which race it was, but they are currently trying to do some RnD so it can be available for Malaysia/Singapore market.


After the tour of the shop, we were given a bonus tour to their clean room, if you dont know what that is, it is simply a room where they build motors. It is a dedicated room where the environment is clean and is at an optimal place to be! hahahaha

If you ever wondered how a 1000hp looks like outside a car, well here it is... also this would set you back about $45k or roughly $90k Singapore


Most of the components were custom made. These guys know what they are doing! The owner of the motor have been going to their shop for about 6 years. This motor will be tearin the roads up in Dubai, i hope to see a video someday!

Let me upgrade yah!

Daaamn been a busy and hectic week!

I am on my way out of the country for about 2 weeks... en route to Southeast Asia!

" We on a world tour....." ahahhah shit is finna be bananas! Ill try to update each day and give you a taste of my trip.

Anyways, my friend and his insane request of 7 Blackberry 9700 (onyx) to be brought over and UNLOCKED!!!

So, when the 9700 was released this past week, I went to several spots to see if they received shipment. I first went to At&t because thats my service provider... they did have the phone but wouldnt sell me the phones without contract.. WTF? so i left and went to the mall and try my luck at T-mobile... service was a bit better and said I can buy all 7 because they had a lot in stock...

I come back couple hours later and low and behold I get denied... to make a long story short they thought I was some unauthorized dealer trying to resell.... well i dont blame them for thinkin that since well, I am asking for 7 of em.

After acquiring all of them, my friend and I spent almost a whole day unlocking these phones.

Sorry for the shitty pics... i need to upgrade my blackberry as well.. but ill wait til i get back!


Cant really see the screen, but it says, NETWORK: Disabled

As I was unlocking the phones, I fell inlove with the trackpad change on the blackberry. It was a good move ditching the track ball.

Well, here goes a 20hr flight.
