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.
You Hardly Find Ricers Here
No stanced cars, no useless widebodys or big wings. Everything is just fine!
The Diversity Is Epic
From Supras to Civics, we’ve got them all.
We've Got Proper Project Cars Here
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
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
These are usually 800-1000 Horsepower Evos, Supras and RX-7s.
Availability Of Parts
Yes, we don’t have international tuning houses here but we easily import whatever we need.
Our Love For Civics Is Unconditional
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
Most race cars here are naturally aspirated because we believe in raw engine power, not forced induction.
Everyone Knows Each Other
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.

Thats shoaib malik’s supra :’)
Who the hell says we hardly find ricers every second car is riced
I’m the owner of the biggest car group of my city. I have friends from Aim Racers, Torque Racing Motorsports, Redline Motorsports and what not. At least in my circle and my gatherings I have no ricer. I’m not saying there’s no riceism here, I’m just saying it’s not as much as you’d expect in the ‘real’ car scene. Goes for stancing and bosozoku etc.
I need to come to Pakistan again. Last time I was there was in 2003 to meet my family

Great post showing one of the many good sides of Pakistan unlike our media😂…
However you can’t say there are no ricers in pak i mean literally every time you go out you see a car with some kind of rice like everyone has ugly rims and many have useless wings… The mature side however is nice and clean
Pardons, because my side is the more grown up and mature one. If some teenage wannabe racer pastes some stickers on his windscreen and calls himself a racer, I don’t think the culture he represents should get all the hate. There’s bad fruit in every basket.
In turkey,we only have riced hyundais.
No rice in Pakistan? I’ve seen plenty of Mehran and FX with Ferrari and Porsche badges… and there’s definitely elitism… so I’ll have to respectfully disagree.
Oh come on give up. Someone putting up a fake badge on their crappy econoboxes doesn’t account for the car scene in Pakistan being riced up. Grow up, change your mindset and thinking please. And as far as elitism goes, yes it is there on the top end where there are supercars and stuff but that’s everywhere. In the real scene people with 4 Million rupess plus worth of sports cars are one and the same with half a million rupees worth of people with Civics and Charades. Get real!
I live in Dubai and I go to Pakistan almost every year, although there are a lot of cars that may be considered rice there are actually some nice cars there. I saw my first Supra, RX-7 and RX-8 in Pakistan. Compared to Dubai the car culture in Pakistan is really different.

As an Indian, I envy you guys. Similar conditions but your import laws are much more lenient than ours.For example, I live in Bangalore (one of the largest cities) and the only good cars we ever find here are the supercars downtown. I wish our import procedures were as easy as your’s. Except that, all I see are riced Maruti 800s (you guys call them Mehrans across the border, I believe).Anyway, I should stop with the drooling. Great post though, hands down.
Bangalore has a great car scene buddy
There’s so much more to see and find than just the downtown supercars!
