Next-G, Modifikasi Yamaha Jupiter Z Mirip Jetski
Modifikasi motor bebek menjadi skutik bukan hal baru lagi. Namun, kreasi duet Johanes Hanafi dari rumah modifikasi X-16 dan Tomy Gunawan dari Tomy Airbrush ini terbilang unik. Mereka merombak Yamaha Jupiter Z berbentuk hampir mirip dengan jetski, dan diberi nama Next-G.
Konsep Next-G memang unik. Ada dua pekerjaan besar buat keduanya sebelum Jupiter-Z jadi model Next-G. Menurut Johanes, urusan bodi menjadi tanggung jawabnya, sedangkan mesin digarap Tomy. Intinya, mereka kerja bareng.
Diakui Johanes, menggembungkan bodi Jupiter tidak mudah. Breket asli ada yang dipertahankan dan ada pula yang diperkuat, terutama bagian depan dan belakang harus dihitung agar bodi besar skuter bisa masuk.
Setelah itu, konstruksi pegangan bodi depan berubah lantaran dimensi hidung Next-G yang mancung dan lebar. Cara demikian juga diterapkan kala menggarap belakang. Rangka dipapas dan didesain ulang sesuai dimensi panjang dan lebar dari tengah serta belakang.
Belum lagi menyambung dengan pelat siku supaya beban buntut baru bisa ditahan. Ubahan bodi enggak seberapa kalau mengacu ke Next-G. Yang perlu diperhatikan, sistem transmisi yang digarap Tomy. Ketika mesin dinyalakan, kontan gigi otomatis masuk ke satu.

Unveiled: Nazrul Afifi's new 180SX
Miss me? Hahaha. Anyway..as the title say...check it out yo!
First of all, I would like to express my token of gratitude to Along for giving me the honor to sit inside his newly bought 180SX last Thursday and also for giving me the first chance to snap a couple of his car pictures. If you guys didn't know, this car was recently fresh out from the paintshop last Thursday morning! Thank you very much my drift idol.
Basically there will be no engine shot and interior shot for now. Why? Because the original engine will be thrown out, for a favor of a more powerful SR engine; Crower Blacktop SR24DET! The current engine is mostly stock, with only a few modification and bits inside. The interior meanwhile, is stock with only Nardi Steering, Nismo gearknob and Racecraft bucket seat changed.
No, this car WILL not replace his Cefiro. This car acts as a backup car if his Cefiro suffers any damage, brokedown etc. It also acts as his street legal drift car since his Cefiro is all strip down and well...you don't want to mess with JPJ and Police right...do you think you can run that around in road?
Enjoy the pictures! C&C are welcomed. Pictures are taken with Canon 450D and Nikon D60. Picture size are 800.

Custom Uras Type-GT Widebodykit made by Monster Garage. Paint color are the same as Kawabata's D1 180SX.
Running the super sexy 18' LMGT4 and all four with 255/35/18 on the rear and 235/35/18 on the front! Guess what...all 4 cost RM5k!
Oh, Nazrul said he will slam the car and soften the rear suspension a little bit more. But overall ride height is quite satisfying.

Hasil Balapan MotoGP Inggris 2009, Dovizioso Juara
Hasil balapan MotoGP Inggris 2009 di sirkuit Donnington diwarnai kejutan. Pembalap Honda Andrea Dovizioso meraih juara. Colin Edwards dari Tech 3 Yamaha runner up dan Randy de Puniet dari LCR Honda posisi ketiga.
Pada balapan Minggu malam (26/7) WIB, lintas yang lembab akibat hujan memakan korban, termasuk Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo dan Toni Elias. Ketiganya harus terjatuh. Rossi, meski masih bisa melanjutkan balapan usai terjatuh, tak bisa mengejar kehilangan waktunya. Padahal sebelum insiden tersebut, dia sedang memimpin balapan.
Yang berhasil memanfaatkan momentum itu adalah Andrea Doviziso. Start di posisi lima, ia mengawali balapan dengan bagus. Setelah menempel ketat Rossi yang lantas jatuh, Dovizioso pun mengambil alih posisi terdepan.
Posisi itu dia jaga sampai balapan berakhir, meski ada Colin Edwards dan Randy de Puniet setia membayangi. Ini adalah podium pertama buat Dovizioso dalam karir MotoGP-nya.
