Hi Speedhunters! My name is Mike Reyes and I'm located out in Glendale, CA. This is "Butch", my 1973 Datsun 240Z. Butch is truly an interesting character. His retro Datsun brown color and his near mint condition allows him to stand out from the crowd. Another unique characteristic that Butch sports is his low-toned engine [...]
I have had a thing for the R30 for a while now. The more I see these angular eighties Skylines the more I like them and this particular example sporting massive overfenders has to be one of the coolest I have come across. I have no idea who it belongs to but from the license [...]

In the first part of the Omega Oil Tsukuba track day coverage someone made a comment that Tsukuba seems to always be packed with some pretty mean cars. The track's location and proximity to Tokyo makes it the most popular circuit in the Kanto area and is as challenging to drivers of extreme modified cars [...]
Buttonwillow racetrack is a good three hours to the two major metropolitan areas in the state of California. It literally is in the middle of no where; the only things around the track are farms, cows, farms, and more cows! Knowing that, it's quite a sight to see such a crowd at a racetrack so far away from [...]
For the past seven days, I've been tooling around the Los Angeles area in a 2010 Mazda RX-8 R3. Even seven years after it was introduced, the RX-8 is still one of the most unique cars on the road, and despite some drawbacks, it offers a driving experience to match. Prior to this it'd been [...]
Reader Anthony Magat from the Philippines sent us a couple photos of his two classic JDM machines for Readers Month. Retro Japanese cars, and Toyotas in general are huge in the Phillipines. In fact, it seems like the place might be home to the largest population of of old school Toyota heads in the world. [...]
This past weekend was quite the automotive odyssey. I spent two days at Willow Springs International Raceway and a day at Buttonwillow Racetrack for Hellaflush 3.5. While at Willow Springs on Saturday, I spotted this very clean example of a drift FC RX-7 at an event on the balcony skid pad. Who knows how long [...]

After the great feedback I got from the Battle Evome coverage a few weeks back I just knew I couldn't pass up the opportunity to head to Tsukuba circuit again. This time the event was organized by Omega Oil, which holds free practice sessions at the little circuit in Ibaraki-ken throughout the year. Omega customers [...]
Hello fellow SpeedHunters, My name is Peter Tarach and I’m the editor of Modified Magazine. I, like most of you have been following this site since its inception and it has quickly become my go to site for everything that is cars, culture, and events. I literally check the SpeedHunters site every morning. That’s why [...]
A few days back I was browsing through the auto blogs I visit daily and found a link to the Mattfresh Blog from New Zealand. It became an instant favorite and has given me many new wallpapers to stare at. Recently Matt went to a drift event at the Hampton Downs circuit. Some familiar faces showed up [...]
Hi there Speedhunters! I found this car on my last trip to Japan. I haven’t seen many tuned Soarers on Speedhunters in a while so hopefully you will appreciate this one. We went to visit Yamamoto san of Garage Norikuni in Shiga and found a collection of cool cars. The focal point of which [...]
The owner of the Spirant JZX100 also owns a AE86 and he decided to spice things up a bit by asking a friend to pinstripe the car. I thought it looked pretty cool… Maybe he's even going to start new trend. You can see some more photo's of the pinstriping and some other cool stuff on [...]

Last week we got an invite to a commercial shoot for NOS Energy Drink, featuring '09 Formula Drift Champion Chris Forsberg. Not knowing quite what to expect, I jumped into the car on Friday morning and headed north to Willow Springs, passing the endless string of commuters heading the opposite direction on Route 14 into [...]
