Both Paddy and myself pretty much died and went to heaven when we saw the trio of quattro cars at Ultimate Dubs last weekend. The vehicles owned by James Dorey, Dave Rowe and Hamish White have all been home-built. A truly mind blowing amount of dedication has been put into these Audis and I am [...]
One of my favorite things about the Speedhunters universe is the vast diversity of content that gets presented on this site. In fact, I still check out Speedhunters every day just to see what kind of cool stuff my colleagues are getting up to. The great thing about having such a wide range of cars [...]
As a FWD Honda owner and enthusiast, I really hope you guys out there are enjoying our FF mini-theme like I have. For the rest of you, at least it’s almost over! In America I’d argue that the Honda Civic is probably one of, if not the, most-tuned Japanese vehicle around; and as such, often [...]
Front wheel drive is, wrong wheel drive. Bold statement, but technically speaking it just doesn’t make any sense. Why would you want to subject the front wheels of a car to so much abuse? They’re already trying to steer the car and in the process attempting to return some kind of feedback to the driver, [...]
Pop quiz: what do you get when you take one of the world’s largest car company’s racing R&D wing, give them unlimited resources and cut them loose to improve the hottest compact car in the world today? Answer: the TRD Griffon Concept. Don’t let the wacky name fool you, this car is all business; and [...]
I hear it all the time. Yes I’d love for you to shoot my car, could you wait until I finish up and fit so and so parts. We all do it, me included which is also why I’ve never really properly shot my own car. But as far as perpetual-projects go, nothing and nobody [...]
When we decided to do this short 80′s theme I knew just the car I wanted to post up. I featured this orange FC3S a while back for a magazine, but despite the fact that some of our US readers might have seen it in print, I thought it would be a pity not to [...]
Despite the “I see what you did there” title, here it is, one of the most highly anticipated FR-S builds from Tokyo Auto Salon. I suspect for some of you it might be a little hard to sustain enthusiasm for the ZN6 at the moment, due largely to the massive saturation of the car, particularly [...]
I’m still recovering from the wake of insanity that was my trip to Japan last week, but I figured this would be as good a time as any to quickly recap my recent adventures. The effort that Dino and I managed to pack into one week was incredible to say the least, and the result [...]
There are plenty of different ways I could do this, but as some of my fellow new Speedhunters have opened with a discussion about how amazing it is here, a point on which we all agree, I’ll move on. As part of my year end indulgences I’m going to discuss the breadth of car [...]
The message that popped up on my phone last week read something like, “I want to break the course record, I have rented out Tsukuba and will be driving my car alone.” The message was sent by a certain Under Suzuki and those few short sentences certainly grabbed my attention. Having beaten Revolution’s time only [...]
If you ever needed proof that four-wheel-drive and boost isn’t necessarily required to turn record-setting lap times in the heat of time attack competition, then this 1990 Honda CR-X built in Brisbane, Australia, is it. Anyone that attended this year’s World Time Attack Challenge might have seen the car throwing down some lightning fast laps [...]
You know what really gets to me when people refer to the MX5/Miata/Eunos? That they’re just a bit of fun and they have a bad image, I say it through gritted teeth, but the word ‘hairdresser’ seems to come up a lot. These tired cliches may have been the general consensus 15yrs ago, but times [...]
Let me stop you right there. I know, we have been seeing far too many 86/FR-S/BRZs over the last few months – not to mention from SEMA – but the runaway success this little car from Toyota and Subaru has been enjoying, is very much deserved. But the car you see here is not another [...]
I cannot remember the last time that I was as excited about a car as I am the FR-S you’re looking at right now. That’s a pretty bold statement when you take into account how difficult it has become for anything automotive to knock my socks off, and even more so when you consider that [...]
