EVENT>> THE TEXAS MILE PT.2

Hoping from various motorsport events to the next and staying at nearby hotels is great and all, but after staying in a tent on the side of the track at the Texas Mile, I'm convinced that camping out is the ultimate way to experience whatever motorsport you're attending. You see it all the time at [...]

GUEST BLOG: RYAN LEWIS>> THE-LOWDOWN X JDMST MEET

Recently two Australian communities, JDMST and THE-LOWDOWN, combined forces for the latter's 1st birthday. To celebrate, they staged a massive meet in an industrial area in Sydney.  Support for the birthday was nothing short of overwhelming. People came out in force to get behind the occasion. Sydney workshop, Bodyform, was kind enough to play host for the [...]

BEHIND THE SCENES>> SUMO POWER/JRM IN ABU DHABI – PART TWO

You hear them coming. You know it's them. It's the noise of thunder and lightning. The GT1 Nissan GT-Rs have a unique engine note that means you don't even have to look up to know one is coming. However, standing on the grid waiting for the 18 cars to slot into position it's always best [...]

DRIVER BLOG: RYAN GATES>> TIME ATTACKING THE MILE

Each year when the coverage of the Texas Mile shows up online, I enjoy it but I never think too much of it. Sure, it was cool to see which cars went the fastest, which ones used the most tape and who flipped, but it’s something you have to run to truly appreciate. And it [...]

CAR SPOTLIGHT>>MIDNIGHT CELICA

A couple weeks ago I posted a random snap of a very cool looking Toyota Celica from Northern California. Since you guys seemed to be rather interested in the car, I got in touch with photographer Anthony Lezada who sent us some more photos and a little info about the car. Owned by a fellow [...]

GUEST BLOG: COLIN MASTERSON>> GOLDEN GARDENS PNW NISSAN MEET

Up in the American Pacific Northwest, the clouds are plentiful and the rain seemingly unending. Warm sunny days are in short supply but that does not stop many of us from gathering. Once a year a meet is held that is well known to all those in the import scene: Golden Gardens. Put on by [...]

GALLERY>>STANCEWORKS MEET MILTON KEYNES

While Paddy was off shooting Dubshed I went up to Milton Keynes to have a look at the second Stanceworks meet. It wasn't long ago car styling in the UK mainly consisted of hideous plastic body kits and a quarter tonne of stereo equipment but a visit to Stanceworks thankfully proved that UK styling is [...]

EVENT>> WORLD OF WHEELS

Earlier in the month, Rod, Melinda (our trusty Production Coordinator) and I headed out to Abbotsford for the World of Wheels car show. And in spite of battling traffic the entire way there, it was certainly well worth the trip. Our Melinda is a huge petrol head, and she can often be found spending her [...]

EVENT>> DUBSHED PT.IV

Onto the final part of our Dubshed coverage ! I still can't get over just how big a show this was. The organisers have estimated that over 500 cars turned up (they were expecting half of that) and over 2000 spectators came through the gates. I've got to say the show was a credit to [...]

CAR SPOTLIGHT>> JB-TUNING NISSAN SILVIA

The Nissan S15 is still a dream car for many including myself. So every time I see one I will check it out in great detail. Fortunately I see more and more Silvias popping up at shows. At the latest Automaxx Streetpower event, I spotted this very special version. It seemed that the car belonged [...]

NEWS>> KAZAMA AUTO D1 2JZ S15

Kazama over at Kazama Auto is putting the final touches on Tanaka's new D1-GP machine, a 2JZ powered S15 Silvia. There are already a few pictures of the car floating around on the company's website but it did look a bit plain without a full livery. The S15 is now at Art Factory getting the [...]

BEHIND THE SCENES>> SUMO POWER/JRM IN ABU DHABI – PART ONE

It’s year two of the FIA GT1 World Championship. In 2011 some things are the same, but some things very different from last season. Once again I was out in the Middle East for the opening round of the series at the ultra-modern Yas Marina circuit, and Nissan, Aston Martin, Ford, Lamborghini and Corvette were [...]

BUILDS>> TEAM NFS D-MAC AE86 PT.IX

Hello Speedhunters ! May I formally introduce the Need for Speed D-Mac86 in her almost finished glory. This is a real proud moment for me and it's amazing to have built one of my dream cars. I must say that I'm very proud of the team behind the build and how we managed to get [...]
