There was only one car that was fitting enough to end this month's Street Cars & Sleepers theme. And this is it. For the past couple of years, the maniac known as Chris Rado has been devising plans to build his ultimate street car. Of course, for someone who pilots a 2000hp drag car and the Team [...]
The FD will be 20 years old next year. It's hard to believe that it's been around for so long, but the 13B-powered beast continues to captivate the minds of rotor-heads the world over. Mazda really nailed it when they created this final generation of the RX-7, from the neutral handling, to the explosive delivery [...]
After spending half the day on the road to Las Vegas, I rolled into town late this afternoon and headed directly to the convention center to grab my credential for the SEMA Show. Since there was quite a bit of activity going on in preparation for day one of the show tomorrow, I decided to [...]
Goodbye October. Hello November. With another month of Speedhunting coming to an end here we have our Cutting Room Floor for the month of October 2011. You won’t find tastier leftovers anywhere else. Finned Mopar beauty at the Long Beach Motorama. Studebaker pickup looking very cool under the lights of the LB Arena. Overhead view [...]
Our Street Cars & Sleepers month is coming to a close, but we still have some impressive cars coming your way. Take for example, Zico Tran’s K20A-powered Civic. With the assistance of JDMyard, the idea behind this Civic was to create a balanced all-rounder; a car versatile enough to be used on the street as well as [...]
It was only right that among all of the stunning cars that we shot during our Sydney trip, that one of them at least was going to be Australian. The Aussies know a thing or two about modifying cars, that's for sure, but having seen plenty of stunning Japanese and European rides it was time for [...]
To the average Joe, this car looks like a normal run-of-the-mill Mercedes Benz W123. But I wouldn’t feature this machine unless it has something special right? It’s only when you take a closer look, you’ll start to notice that there are some big differences to a standard example. This becomes especially apparent when you look [...]
Thus far we've shown you AP's carbon-bodied turbo Lotus along with his 650hp Golf sleeper. Judging by those two rather extreme street cars, it's not surprising that his family runaround has an equally twisted personality. Gone is its 1.4 litre motor and front-wheel drive transmission; in its place is a turbo six-cylinder and AWD. AP's Golf wagon started [...]
The second and final round of the Wold Drift Series in China has concluded at the Yellow Dragon Sports Center in the city of Hang Zhou. It was an event full of upsets, spectacular crashes and dance routines. But after the tire smoke cleared a local driver, Zhang ShaoHua, stood on top. Another local Chinese driver, Zhang [...]

The island country of Singapore is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Asia, but something it's not so famous for is its car culture. With incredibly high registration costs and strict regulations on vehicle modifications, you'd think Singaporean car enthusiasts would be few and far between. But you'd be wrong. In spite of [...]
Nakai-san of RAUH-Welt fame is currently in California assembling the first US-built RWB Porsches.

Here you can see two of the three Porsches that are being prepared including the white Hoonigan 911 and one for a customer in Maryland. The green [...]
Many of Europe's best drifters converged on Bucharest, the capital of Romania, for the Drift Grand Prix. With the Palace of Parliament as the stunning backdrop, this street drift event was certainly breathtaking. Drivers came from many different countries, including Poland, Germany, Finland, Switzerland, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Serbia, Ireland, the UK and of course Romania. The paddock area was crowded [...]
What’s better than having one Golf MKI GTI? Two of course. Tim Verbeek, who owns the white Golf we saw earlier, also has this black example in his garage. While the white Golf was more of a restoration project, this is meant to be a cool fun toy for the weekend. The exterior features deep black paint with some [...]
