MODERN HEART: ROCKY AUTO’S RB30 POWERED Z

Nothing is as it seems in Japan. As a rule of thumb you should never, in any circumstance make any sort of assumptions about any car you see on the street. This is especially true if that particular car proudly wears the Rocky Auto name, a shop we are all pretty familiar with these days. [...]

AUTO ARTISANS: THE RETRO CAR KINGS

It’s often hard to comprehend just how vast and deep automotive culture and passion spans in Japan. Last year I had the chance to help put together a program that attempted to show just this, looking at some of the biggest names out there. It was a pity it was only shown in Japan, but we all knew it wouldn’t be long before it was released online. It’s over forty minutes long so sit back and enjoy the show.

JDM VINTAGE GOODNESS: @SPEED GARAGE THAILAND

You just can’t hinder passion. It’s always interesting to see how the love of cars has no borders, you can travel to any country around the world and find enthusiasts willing to share their love of cars with you. That is exactly the position Luke Huxham found himself on his recent trip to Thailand where he crossed paths with Mr. A, who has created a very special garage to store his precious vintage car collection and also create a place for his friends to hang out in. Take a look at the impressive line up of machinery…and wheels…he has collected over the years.

INTERCLUB SPOTLIGHT-O-RAMA

INTERCLUB SPOTLIGHT-O-RAMA

It happens to us all Speedhunters; we head to a meet or event and end up being surrounded with so many special cars that we would love to feature every single one. That, of course, is impossible but the next best thing is a quick spotlight, or better still a “Spotlight-o-rama” as Sean recently did [...]

Just wanted to quickly post this Z31 Fairlady picture I found on Minkara this morning. In the US at least, you can pick up a Z31 for next to nothing these days. Why aren't more people doing them up like this? -Mike Garrett

RANDOM SNAP>> PEAK AE86 AT EBISU WEST

Ahhh AE86s. It's hard to believe that I've owned some of my AE86s for over 10 years. In fact, just last night I met up with some AE86 friends at Starbucks, and we were reminiscing about what our 86 lives were like ten years ago. It's certainly been a long time, but our AE86s have [...]

THE 101>>COOL JAPANESE WHEELS PT.1

It's no secret that we talk about wheels a lot here on Speedhunters. I mean they are probably the most important component in how a car looks, right? Some people say that wheels to a car are like shoes to a person, but in my opinion the importance of having decent wheels on a car [...]
