The Xtreme Nights (TXN)

The Xtreme Nights (TXN) is the first modified car exhibition held in Malaysia. This event is organized by Motorsport Malaysia and supported by Ministry Of Youth Malaysia. It is held in LRT Square, Bukit Jalil National Stadium on 10th and 11th November 2006 - 5pm till midnight. Modified car are getting more and more popular among Malaysian especially Japanese and European cars.

The local car modification culture are mostly from Japan and U.S. The movie Fast and Furious and drifting motorsport generate lots of interest among the youth and teens.
Original car are just not enough for those car enthusiast. The car need to be pimped or 'zhng' in Hokkien so that it looks 'Whoah' or "Ooooh". Note I mentioned 'Car enthusiast' and not 'ah beng, ah lian or mat rempit modified car'. There is a contrast difference between a true car enthusiast and 'ah beng or ah lian / mat rempit enthusiast'

The 3 major difference you can spot if it is a car enthusiast or ah beng's modified car:
1. Ah Beng's modified car - the exhaust louder the better but no power. In car enthusiast modified car, there's no loud sound in the exhaust, you can only heard 'swooooosh' - the car is fast and silence.
2. Ah beng's modified car got lotsa crappy sticker - FAKE GReddy, Apexi, D1 GP, SARD, bla...bla...bla... and so on. On the spot you know it is fake cause they just simply stick it to attract Ah lian. Where as for car enthusiast, they normally don't apply so much sticker on their car cause they don't get a single cent by putting those sticker on and it spoil the beauty of their car.
3. Ah beng's modified car are not engineered car because they only know how to install a damn big GT Wings spoiler on their car even thou the car is only an 800cc SLK (Super Little Kancil) - according to them 'yau yeng' ma (in Cantonese) As long as it is big enough but they don't know the purpose of the spoiler. A car enthusiast will want their car to be fully engineered.

I think I better stop here else I will sound like an Ah Beng. Here are some photo to share - the reason why guys like to go to car exhibition: best of both world - got sexy chicks and nice cars to see!
