Honda Grand Civic ’90 Jogjakarta : Gaya Modif Minimalis Pembalap Grasstrack

OtomotifZone.Com-Jogja. Tak selamanya yang suka racing itu selalu memakai kendaraan racing. Seperti Wahyu Wekka pembalap grasstrack dari kota gudeg Jogjakarta ini. Biasanya sebagai pembalap berbau offroad gayanya sehari-hari mungkin dengan kendaraan offroad juga. Atau bergaya adventure.



Sejak kapan tergila-gila dengan mobil ceper? “Aku dapat mobil itu bulan mei langsung brooll bangun wkwk,” ungkapnya sambil nyebut nama belakangnya, Wekawekaweka. “Iyaa betul, kalo mesin aku belum main mas soal nya aku main masih Low Rider sama Style JDM ala japan mas hehehe……,” tambah pemilik nomer start 48 di Grasstrack seputar Jateng-DIY ini.


Modif minimalis utamakan sektor kaki-kaki. Apapun bentuknya kalau utamakan modif kaki-kaki memang terlihat gagah dan stylish. “Cuma exterior sama kaki. Kalo interior ada cuma sedikit seperti stir kayu dan headrace, soalnya JDM Style ya cuma simply clean aja, simpel bersih tok,” ujar pemuda kelahiran Manado 05 april 1994. “Exterior ada foglamp depan dan foglamp belakang serta dacktail semacam spoiler kecil dibagasi blakang,” lanjutnya lagi.



Prestasi? ”Pernah The Best Car Damnlow dengan ketinggian 0,4mm dari muka bumi hehe,” ujar warga belakang Jln. Agrowisata km 2, rt 04 rw 24 Klelen, Trimulyo, Sleman ini. Urusan modif ternyata dia kemana-mana, “Bengkel di Autofit biasanya anak-anak grandcivic, kaki kaki modif di tempat Asamukti alias Mas Kipli di Tajem, Maguwoharjo,” tutup anggota Grandcivic.Com Yogyakarta tersebut.

AKEBONO USDM MEET 2013 COVERAGE…PART 1…


The “Akebono USDM” name has become quite popular over the past year or so. They started out as a small Japanese enthusiasts group much like many of you and had a devoted liking for all things USDM. Whether it was music, clothing, or their particular style of modding their Hondas, it was strictly inspired by the American Honda enthusiasts community. They are still a pretty small group but their signature windshield banners have started popping up here in America, where EF lovers from this side of the world have taken a liking to their style and are now representing them stateside. Much like the whole USDM scene in general in Japan, styles have come full circle. We were inspired first by them, and then they turned around and found inspiration from what we have done, but in the case of Akebono USDM, many Honda guys have found inspiration from the Japanese who are originally inspired by Americans. Confusing yes, but once you see their cars, you’ll understand exactly what is going on. One of the more recognizable Akebono Civics in that group is a cream-colored EF that looked like a virtual doppelganger (albeit a cleaner example) of Woody’s cream RHD EF from Norcal. Woody’s EF is long gone now and has since been chopped to pieces but the memory of that car lives on in Japan…
It’s a bit weird how small the world really is and how we are all interconnected; The guys from Akebono USDM are close friends with Takeshi Kobayashi, who is a good friend of mine from Japan, and the guy who they were once inspired by, Woody, was once roommates with Ryan from Rywire. At one point in time, Takeshi and the Akebono guys even stayed over at Ryan’s house before I had even knew Takeshi really, and I wasn’t even that close to Ryan then. Crazy how things have changed over time and how we’ve all become friends. Another interesting tidbit is that the man that shot these photos, Shota Mori, is also good friends with Akebono USDM and Takeshi. When Shota approached me with these photos, I checked them out and was more than willing to toss them up here on the site. He always come through with good content for me and I think many of you will enjoy what you see here in the next two days. These are from a small meet that the Akebono USDM guys put on recently and it features a lot of Hondas that you may not have seen before, paired with some familiar Hondas from Akebono. I wish I had all the details on these cars but I don’t. As always, I’ll try to give you guys some details on them but it is a little difficult with so many cars and language barrier that exists. Enjoy and make sure to come back for more…
