JCCA NEW YEAR MEETING: ENJOY KYUSHA LIFE

JCCA NEW YEAR MEETING: ENJOY KYUSHA LIFE

To me the absolute best thing about being a Speedhunter is not just being able to photograph and explore the world’s coolest cars, it’s being able to experience so many different types of car culture on a regular basis. It can be chatting with fun-loving drifters one moment, trying to fit in with the elite [...]

TAS2013: THE TUNER SELECTION

TAS2013: THE TUNER SELECTION

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 [...]

A ROUGH NIGHT IN ROPPONGI, RWB TOKYO MEETING

A ROUGH NIGHT IN ROPPONGI, RWB TOKYO MEETING

Konnichiwa Speedhunters! As you’ve probably noticed, we have decided to launch a #maximumattack on Tokyo Auto Salon this year.  Things have been practically non-stop for me since I arrived at Narita on Wednesday, and all the madness is already taking its tole on my body and soul, but that’s the price we pay as Speedhunters!

VERY IMPORTANT WHEELS

VERY IMPORTANT WHEELS

From time to time we like to break down our event coverage to the micro level. We’ll spend time looking at a very specific part of an event, sometimes it’s paintjobs, sometimes it’s wheels, sometimes it’s engine bays and occasionally it’s something else. I figured Sunday’s Autofashion VIP Festival would be the perfect place to apply this strategy with a look at some old fashioned Wheelhunting.

YOU ASKED FOR IT – THE DEALT WIDTH AE86

YOU ASKED FOR IT – THE DEALT WIDTH AE86

There is something refreshing about the variety of cars we get to examine each day on Speedhunters. It’s all a part of being a true connoisseur of car culture – approach everything with an open mind and learn to appreciate the details. This ethos extends to the vast majority of readers that we are so very lucky to have. Combine this attitude with a massive knowledge base and a heap of enthusiasm, it all equates to one simple formula – you talk and we listen. This is a car that you asked for, and we’re proud to finally share it with you.

#FEATURETHIS: THE PERFECT MR2?

#FEATURETHIS: THE PERFECT MR2?

Would you agree with me when I say that the first generation Toyota MR2 is one of the more under-appreciated Japanese sports cars of the 1980s? When the car was first released in 1984 it was a pretty big deal – an affordable mid-engined Toyota sports car with a high revving twin cam motor, but [...]

IF YOU BUILD IT, WE WILL COME: JDM LEGENDS RX-7

IF YOU BUILD IT, WE WILL COME: JDM LEGENDS RX-7

Inspiration; it’s a word we all use and understand, but I believe we seldom realize just how strongly it impacts our lives. No matter what it is we’re going through we draw inspiration from past experiences which inevitably define our future. In the world of cars inspiration is the common bond we as enthusiasts have [...]

Our good friend Jon Sibal came across this very cool looking MINI on the net and I thought it deserved a repost here. Can't beat the look of small wheels on a new MINI, especially when they are Work Equip 01's. Source: JonSibal.com

CAR SPOTLIGHT>>BLACK ON RED ROADSTER

CAR SPOTLIGHT>>BLACK ON RED ROADSTER

It's no secret that we here at Speedhunters love the Mazda Miata. I've personally owned a few of them and although I don't have one in the garage at the moment, there are times when the urge to pick up another one is very strong. One of those moments came on Saturday when I found [...]

CAR SPOTLIGHT>> PERFECT EXPOSURE SC300

One of the many blogs I frequently visit is The Perfect Exposure blog. It belongs to Jerry Truong who has an amazing eye for photography and seems to be at every cool event in the States. He asked me if I could feature his daily driver and after I saw the car thought it was [...]

RANDOM SNAP>> LS1 POWERED S14

I just had to post this picture up here. I love the composition and the subject doesn't look bad either! It's a S14 with Work Bersaglio wheels in 19". What we can't see is the front that has been treated with a S15 nose and the LS1 that powers the car. You can see more [...]

RANDOM SNAP>>THE EMU WAGON

Here's a little JDM Euro style for your Friday. This VW Golf Variant was built by a company called Emu's Engineering out of Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. It's wearing an Emu's original front spoiler and side skirts, and is dropped on air suspension over a set of 19×8.5 black Work XSA-03C's. Just another one for the [...]

RANDOM SNAP>>THE WINDY CITY DOES IT AGAIN

The amount of dope cars coming out of the Chicago area never ceases to amaze me – this incredible Volkswagen Caddy was spotted by the Risky Devil boys at a recent BBQ gathering. If the flush Work Equip 03's don't blow your mind, then the Honda K20 under the hood will. Need to find more [...]
