The Car Scene In Pakistan

I’ve been going through recent posts of being a petrolhead in certain places like India for example and I don’t expect it making a good image for the adjacent areas. Here in Pakistan, the car scene is very different.

No One Is Discriminated.

There are no Honda-guys or Muscle-guys. There's just Car-Guys.

You Hardly Find Ricers Here

No stanced cars, no useless widebodys or big wings. Everything is just fine!

The Diversity Is Epic

The Car Scene In Pakistan

From Supras to Civics, we’ve got them all.

We've Got Proper Project Cars Here

The Car Scene In Pakistan

There’s not just adding a cold air intake or throwing in a fart can here, there are proper tuners and racers. Rotaries, V8s, Turbos, All Motor 4 Bangers.

The Love For Rallying

The Car Scene In Pakistan

People come from all over the country to see these special rally stage events like Jhal Magsi and Cholistan Rally events which take place anually and people prepare their rides for them all year round.

People Here Love JDM

The Car Scene In Pakistan

These are usually 800-1000 Horsepower Evos, Supras and RX-7s.

Availability Of Parts

The Car Scene In Pakistan

Yes, we don’t have international tuning houses here but we easily import whatever we need.

Our Love For Civics Is Unconditional

The Car Scene In Pakistan

We don’t give a c*ap of what you think of them, we love our Civics. We don’t rice them, we build them with passion.

We're More Fond Of All-Motor Rather Than Forced Induction

The Car Scene In Pakistan

Most race cars here are naturally aspirated because we believe in raw engine power, not forced induction.

Everyone Knows Each Other

The Car Scene In Pakistan

Our country is not big. We are all familiar with all the good cars and their owners no matter if you both are on the different ends of the nation. It creates a sense of unity and brotherhood amongst Car-Guys.

So much BS. I’ve been on and off visiting Pakistan for the last 4 years. The country is huge. There is tons of discrimination in terms of elitism, rich guys tend to hang out with rich guys, i.e. those with nice cars are in their own friend circles. There are thousands of ricers out there, people lack clean taste. But the occasional car show brings out a decent variation, from Beetles to GTR’s, which is nice. It’s also great to see poor car guys do their best to enjoy whatever they have.

What I’m most sursprised by is actually the old muscle cars, that’s a fun thing to see. Lots of old Benz and Beetles. I spotted an old Peugeot hatchback once, first and only French car I’ve ever seen.

You feel lucking seeing the only Peugeot in Pakistan … Just try to digest the fact that there is only one GTR in the whole of India.

Must be in your circle. We have young boys to old married people here from hatchbacks to 2.5 Crore Rupees worth Luxury SUVs. This isn’t something new around for me. And as for riceism, meet me up the next time you’re here. I’ll give you a nice tour.

And as you mention about spotting Peugeot. Here’s a G23 All Motor Peugeot of a friend’s from Aim Racers. One of the fastest All Motor 4 Banger of Pakistan

How come i’ve never experienced any of the things from the list? I’ve imported cars to Pakistan and I can’t say that I agree with anything on the list?
