Right at this moment, the Speedhunters tag team of Larry Chen and Dino Dalle Carbonare are winging their way to the southern hemisphere for the first round of Formula Drift Asia at Calder Park in Melbourne, Australia. And so, we thought what better treat for our Antipodean followers than to offer you the chance to get your [...]

When we did our call-out for American iron this month, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. After all, we’ve never done this before. What I should have known was that you guys would respond with an astounding selection of American-made machinery. It’s not just our US readers that participated, but American car owners from [...]
As you read this post, I’m likely in Japan preparing for the Speedhunters attack on Tokyo Auto Salon. While we get ready for the big show, it’s also time for the first #FEATURETHIS reader ride shoutout of 2013. Fittingly, this week’s selection is heavy on submissions from our readers in Japan, which I’m guessing is [...]
The first #FeatureThis reader ride spotlight of 2013 comes to us from Bryan Berkenkamp of San Antonio Texas. Bryan’s machine is a 2004 Lexus IS300 that happens to be of the rare SportCross wagon variety. Like its sedan counterpart, the IS300 wagon came equipped with a naturally aspirated 2JZ motor, making it a prime candidate [...]
As we make our way through the final days of the year 2012, it’s time for the final #FeatureThis reader’s ride shoutout of the year. There’s a little bit of everything this week, from classic projects to brand new machines, and even a JDM dump truck. Here they are! (Above) Sunnyside Racing in Chiba Japan [...]
It’s time to break away once more from our Speedhunters Awards voting and year in review stories for the final #FeatureThis Car Spotlight of the year. Today’s submission comes from Joshua Mead of South Bend, Indiana. Josh is the proud of owner of this 1973 Mitsubishi Galant Station Wagon, or Dodge Colt as it was [...]
While I’m sure you guys are quite busy trying to choose your favorites in all of the Speedhunters Award categories, I wanted to take a quick break from that for this week’s #FeatureThis reader ride showcase. As usual, there’s some very interesting machines to share from across the world so let’s go ahead get started.
When you think of cool Subarus, the Impreza probably the first car that comes to mind. If not the Impreza, perhaps the Legacy or maybe a new BRZ. What you probably don’t think of is the Subaru Leone, and that’s why we were excited to see Nico Posteraro’s ’86 Leone show up in the #FeatureThis [...]
Following last week’s all-Roadster edition of #FeatureThis it’s back to a slightly more diverse selection of machines from the around the planet this Thursday. This week we have a strong selection of cars from Japan in particular, mixed with some other cool entries from across the globe. Here they are! (Above) Let’s begin with one [...]
While I’ll be the first to admit that motorcycles are unfamiliar territory to me, the idea of motorcycle engines swapped into cars has always been exciting. Of course you can’t really just toss a bike motor into any old car – it should be something very small and very light. Something like this Mini built by Speedhunters reader Robert Valk.
The response to our call out for reader-owned Mazda Roadsters has been nothing short of overwhelming. Even as I write this, submissions are still flooding into the #FeatureThis inbox. It was incredibly difficult trying to narrow down the submissions to something manageable, and we’ve tried to come up with a selection of cars that represents the global appeal and culture that surrounds Mazda’s popular sports car. There’s a lot to see, so let’s begin!

Do you or someone know drive a cool Mazda Miata/MX-5/Roadster? We want to see it!
As part of next week’s Miata celebration, we will be running a special all-Roadster version of #FeatureThis with cars owned by the global Speedhunters community. If you would like to participate, send an email to featurethis@speedhunters.com with a few photos of your car (800 pixels or larger) along with a brief description of what you have done to it. Be sure to include your name and location. We will gather up our favorites and post them next Friday to join the other Miata special features we have in store.
Let’s seem those Roadsters!

Today’s #FeatureThis submission comes from the always lively Pacific Northwest. The car in question is a 1973 Celica ST owned by Matt Panic from Seattle, and as the opening photo suggests, Matt’s Celica is not your typical vintage cruiser.
After a quick break for SEMA week, #FeatureThis is back and better than ever. Beginning this week, we decided to merge the submissions from Japan with those from the rest of the world for a true global pool of automotive greatness.
Let’s begin!
今週の#Feature Thisから、日本からの投稿と世界中の投稿をひとつにまとめてグローバルに展開していきます。ですが、まだまだ日本の皆さんからの投稿を受け付けております。皆さんからの投稿お待ちしております！
A few weeks ago we ran a little piece on an AW11 MR2 owned by a Speedhunters reader from Australia. In that post made the observation that the MR2 is doesn’t quite get the attention it deserves compared to other cars from the era. The same can also be said for another Toyota enthusiast machine – the Celica All Trac or Celica GT-Four, depending on what part of the world you’re from.
