Dad turns his 86 into McQueen character for his kid



This car-related article, as posted from Autoindustriya, looks quite interesting for our inner kids. A car enthusiast turned his Toyota 86 (GT86/Scion FR-S) into a character from Disney's Cars for his three year-old kid. Lightning McQueen is the main character of the two Disney Cars movies and as that car nut told, he saw pics on the net about cars decorated in Lightning McQueen's livery and he even told that his son would be cool if he rode Lightning McQueen to school.

He enlisted tuner Speedway Engineering to make his kid's dream a reality, well sort of. And aside from mimicking McQueen's looks, his 86 got tuned to have over 300HP of power thanks to the added turbocharging and ECU mods.

Here's the clip that sums it up...

Proton revealed Honda Inspire-based Perdana, only for Malaysian government officials

2014 Proton Perdana revealed for Malaysian government officials

Last month, Proton revealed the brand new Perdana executive sedan and this new model is based on the final-generation Honda Inspire CP3. However, you can't have one because this executive saloon is only made for Malaysian government officials, even Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak.

Like the previous Honda Accord, the new Perdana comes with either a 2.0L or a 2.4L engine sourced from Honda. Although, it looks identical to the CP3 Honda Inspire, the only differences you'll see are the Proton badges inside and out.

The Malaysian Prime Minster gets himself a one-off stretched version for himself.

Chinese anti-Japan war drama used a BGM from an anime?!

Over the years, China and Japan don't usually get along like they used to ever since the territorial disputes over some island at the South China Sea and not to mention 2012's fiery anti-Japanese protests all over China. Now, there's some further misunderstanding happened and as pointed at one episode of a Chinese anti-Japan war drama "Blue Wolf" where one part of an episode used some BGM from an anime, particularly from the NARUTO SHIPPUDEN Original Soundtrack! Oh China, even when you still hate Japan over the territorial dispute, you still ironically borrow something from them. Hmmm....
