As I've mentioned earlier about how I was feeling Inspired because Ps. Reuben spoke about Passion and about finding people who will reignite your passion yesterday, I had stumbled upon some interesting things and blogs which are almost identical in terms of interest. And since i wasn't able to upload the pics last night on the revealing of Project MFSC well the FB Creators we're smart by adding the download photo button in the photo viewer thing! Anyways for Part 1, i'll be showcasing the MFSC(Malaysia's First Super Car) Related artworks first, then non-related which makes the majority and my Engine related stuff like the Real Paper Engine, Sketches..

Project MFSC : Sketches & Folder Pt.1

I'm feeling alittle Inspired today since Ps. Reuben spoke on Passion today and one of the particular things he spoke about Passion was finding people who will reignite your passion. Which I had been surfing around the net and stumbled upon some interesting things that has the exact purpose of this blog itself! It's been quite a while since i kept my promised on the revealing of Project MFSC, but to keep it alive, i'll be posting talot of sketches that has been missing out on the blog especially the least updated ones before the blog started. Although most of the sketches has been updated on my Project MFSC folder in FB , but I honestly had to share it here for the lack of masterpieces I had uploaded. So here would be Part 1 starting for the earlier sketches i have done for Project MFSC..

Featured Latest Artwork! - CNY 2011 Editions

Okay it's confession time. I admit that its been ages since i've posted something in the blog. But of course, its the time of the year where i should be posting something again. For this month of February, I'll be showcasing the CNY 2011 Editions of sketches. Just in case you aren't sure what CNY stands for, its Chinese New Year or in other words the Lunar New Year. So just like every year, we go back to our hometowns to have a reunion with our families again and this year is just as how it is usually, kinda boring this year. Hence the Drawings and sketches.. Enjoy :)

My best sketch with a ballpoint pen so far. Used a reference from the book i got for Christmas ( How to design cars like a pro)

I know this drawing seems unexpected or lower than your expectations but if i haven't mention, I have a passion and interest for classic cars too. Although i've grown much more into JDM's or JNC's ( Japanese Nostalgic car) since there is a huge abundance around in Malaysia still waiting to be restored i myself am waiting to get one for a low price and getting it done up Kyusha-Kai style ;) it might be a term that speaks more of the modifying scene, but well its part of designs anyways. In terms of a more Japanese Culture influence in modding.

Anyways back to the topic!

The car above is actually a Mazda Rx-3 or Savanna GT (in Japan). I know the car is out of proportion xP. I actually had kinda scrapped it and just kept it as junk in my room until i discovered it back and had a great idea using Tracing paper to do some mods on it. Which explains the next picture. Kyusha Style! :D

Here's a real example of the car

Here's the transformation of the original sketch with tracing paper :D

Gave it Some fender mirrors (its a Japanese thing or taste per say), Some black bolted on fenders, classic front spoiler, some SSR MkII's with deep dish offset wheels, and for the first time in my life! i drew cambers for the rear wheel!, Ducktail spoiler ( i don't know why classics seems to just suit well with ducktail spoilers) , Lower Side Skirts, and lastly a mazda sticker on the windscreen. =P

Anyways here's for viewing pleasure purposes of the interesting Savanna GT/ Rx-3 in racing form. This has Gurachan styling rather than Kyusha-Kai =P.. (Gurachan emphasizes more on outrages unrestricted modification of the body and aerodynamics for cars during the 70's in Japan for car races which has evolved to become and create Bosozoku styling and movement in Japan :D ) Check those SSR rims! looks abit like star sharks :D

Well mostly thats it, more posts on the way then! Updated these drawings on My FB photo's folder "Project -MFSC" so stay tuned or check it out where most of my complete folder of drawings are!

The Opel Eco Speedster Says: Diesels Can Rip and Sip at the Same Time

The Opel Eco Speedster first wowed crowds at the Paris Auto Show in 2002 and has now popped up in the Discovery Channel’s FutureCar series (see below for the video link). The sleek concept car holds a distinguished place in the growing family of high-performance diesels that are breaking records, as well as people’s prejudices about what diesels can do on the road and the track. The Eco Speedster, with its surprisingly diminutive 1.3-liter ECOTECH CDTI, tops out at 155 mph and clocked an average fuel economy of 113 mpg over a 24-hour road test. A combination of low weight (660 kg/1,445 lbs), minimal drag, mid-engine design, and a 5-speed automatic transmission let the Eco Speedster rip and sip at the same time. Opel built the car to spotlight its ability to make highly-efficient, next-generation diesel cars that are a blast to drive. GM (Opel and Vauxhall’s parent company) sadly doesn’t seem particularly interested in sharing such cars with its North American customers. (more pics after the fold)
The arrival (and mandating) of significantly cleaner diesel fuel in the US is expected to open up the gates to a host of new and exciting diesel models to American customers, who are, understandably, still wary of a fuel that is more often associated with tractor trailers and black soot. But if Opel’s hot little number isn’t proof enough that diesel’s can tear it up, there are plenty of other compelling examples. Last year, an Audi TDI took first place in the opening race of the famous Le Mans series, and the biodiesel-powered Lola raced in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France in 2005. Diesel-based hybrids and plug-in hybrids are seen as a promising next step in the evolution of the internal combustion engine. People unfamiliar with the efficiency, power, and satisfying feel of a quality diesel engine under the hood should find a way to try one, and feel as their prejudices do out the window. ::Opel Eco Speedster on FutureCars (YouTube) via Hugg (Linton)

Picture of the Day: Opel GT

What has 102 horsepower (maybe), a curb weight a shave over 2,000 lbs and the kind of reliability that makes an Austin Healey look like a Toyota Hilux? That’d be the OG Opel GT. Bask in the ‘70’s glory, Fiends.
