For my last post on the Premium Day, I will be concentrating on some more tuner cars I came across on the paddock as well as checking out some of the entrants that participated in the Option Magazine organized Super Lap time attack session. I’m going to kick things off with this Yashio Factory candy green [...]
It’s time to dedicate a bit of time to the true tuner cars that were dotted around the vastness that was the Tokyo Auto Salon this year. Performance is the name of the game here and if there is a bit of style thrown in for good measure you can rest assured it’s all driven [...]
I am going to move along with the coverage from the Tsukuba Super Battle now with one final round up of pictures highlighting the day’s action. You will see some new cars that I haven’t touched on yet, as well as some we have seen already and that I couldn’t resist reposting more pix of, [...]
As cool as watching the clock while famous drivers wrestle cars around a track is, one of the most interesting and more fascinating aspects of time attack for me has always been the cars themselves. So while I really do enjoy to shoot action, it’s the paddock that attracts me the most at the yearly [...]
After a somewhat disappointing event last year, spoiled by snow, rain and a track that didn’t want to dry, the Tsukuba Super Battle couldn’t have been blessed with better conditions today at Tsukuba. Freezing air and cloudless blue skies are always the perfect recipe for optimal time attack conditions, and the 78 cars in attendance [...]
Let’s get stuck into the HKS Premium Day and begin to check out all the tuner cars and owner cars that showed up this year, all combining to make the usual amazing event that this has quickly become over the last couple of years. There were probably a little fewer cars than in 2011, probably [...]
I’m getting tired of rain. Over the last few weeks I’ve had to endure far too many rainy days, and while shooting in the wet can have its advantages, it didn’t do anything for today’s proceedings. You see when you are trying to put on a track event, with time-attack sessions thrown in for extra [...]
It is supposed to be summer in Holland right now but when I look out of my window all I see is rain. So that means the perfect time to work on this story. On the day I shot the Streetgasm EVO VI I also had some quality time with this EVO X. We met [...]
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 [...]
It’s funny how when the Nissan GT-R and Mitsubishi Evolution X were released both manufacturers claimed it would be almost impossible to tune them. The Evo in particular was quite the curious replacement. Unlike the GT-R, which has enough power out of the box to not even require tuning, the CZ4A felt like a bit [...]
Hey hey my fellow SpeedHunters, my name is Ryan Gates and I'm here to share some pretty rad info with you all! First of all, I'd like to thank the awesome crew at SpeedHunters for letting me post the whole rebuild and refresh process of my Modified class Evo X. It's taken a beating over [...]
This was probably the biggest surprise at the Super Lap Battle last week, the Koyama Racing Labo Evo X built in collaboration with Team Orange. Anyone familiar with the world of JDM tuning will have no doubt have heard the name Koyama, he is of course the man behind most of the projects that JUN [...]
For my next post I'm going to show you a selection of AWD cars from Need for Speed SHIFT. As I know you guys get annoyed and hot-under-the-collar whenever any subject matter gets overplayed on Speedhunters, so I'll start to wrap things up with a wider selection of cars from the game. So let's look [...]
Head over to the Desktops section now to grab this high res image of the Original Runduce Evo X lurking in the paddock at Fuji Speedway. As always, you can choose from widescreen or standard versions. Enjoy! -Mike Garrett
