Winter can be a difficult time for any car enthusiast, and as the last days of our Fall season here in New Zealand wind up, Kiwis have a long stretch of cold and wet weather ahead while the rest of the world enjoys its warmer months. With that in mind, we love finding the most [...]
No we’re not just talking about slapping on a bodykit and a spoiler – this month FC examines full on Aero Tuning at its very finest. We’re kicking off with a car that everyone is talking about – the Rocket Bunny GT86 (Toyota 86 or Scion FR-S depending on where you’re reading this). Other Aero-inspired [...]
Last month, we covered our biggest event of the year here in New Zealand – the 4&Rotary Nationals. Now in the new issue of New Zealand Performance Car magazine, we check out the cars of the man behind those events, Azhar Bhamji. Both Azhar’s 1974 RX-3 and his 1969 R100 well represent one of the [...]
The Kiwi summer is still in full swing here in New Zealand, and the new issue of New Zealand Performance Car magazine, out today, covers the busiest few weeks of the whole season – “Nats month”. Our cover car this issue is one most readers of Speedhunters will know all about – Carl Thompson’s monster [...]
Forced Induction – two words that deliver beautiful feelings, images and sounds to car culture nutters across the world. Being such a massive part of our scene, we decided to dedicate a whole magazine to the wonders of boost, and as you can see from the cover, we take a closer look at a crazy [...]
If you’re a regular reader of Speedhunters, you will probably be aware that, although small in both size and population, New Zealand has a huge automotive scene. Most of us grew up around car enthusiasts in some form or another and as a lot of you will be huddling together for warmth in colder parts [...]
Paper will always remain paper, no matter what. Over the last decade the web has really reinvented the way we get clued up in anything from the latest news, to the thing we all love the most here, cars. We are all now used to seeing awesome content from each corner of the world, presented [...]
As someone who has followed Speedhunters religiously since the very beginning, being asked to join the 2012 editorial team as New Zealand Editor a little while ago came as a very nice surprise. I jumped at the opportunity and have been counting down the days until my first contribution ever since! But before I get [...]
Greetings Speedhunters! It’s always a little strange writing about myself, so if you’ll bear with me hopefully this introduction will go smoothly. Some of you are likely familiar with my name and/or work via Super Street and Project Car magazines (among others), or perhaps you may have stumbled upon my photography or even know me [...]
Every year, we try to give back to our readers by featuring the rides that you drive daily, on the weekend, or at the track. This is your chance to get your car featured in Modified Mag. Now, before you begin to flood our email with ‘pick me’ stories and spec sheets, I want to [...]
Whilst you and I may all be car fanatics to the nth degree, it's also quite unlikely that we share the same automotive interests or express this facination in the same way. Some of us build cars, while others race them; some shoot photos of cars and still others work in the industry. It's all [...]
What do you do when you have a fully-built and specced engine ready to go, but the rest of the car isn’t finished? Find another rolling shell to put it into, of course! This is Mike ‘Boxxer’ Bradley’s road-legal, 1980 Ford Escort Mk2 four-door, built for drifting, track days and general messing about. It might [...]
The definition of a sleeper car can be different depending on who you ask. For some, the exterior has to be completely stock looking. Even the wheels. But underneath the hood an engine with loads of power lurks. When I set off to build this particular 1991 240SX, I knew I wanted to keep it [...]

A Lamborghini yellow clad Mitsubishi Evolution X? You better believe it. And it’s not just the color that makes this Evo stand out. It’s the perfect blend between performance, looks, and style that make it one of a kind… Actually, if you look closely and know your Evo’s very well you’ll spot an ultra hard [...]
