CAR BUILDER>> UENO AND T&E
Filed under: , , , , , , , ,  
Speedhunters
These are the posts I love the most, allowing readers to get a more down-to-earth look into companies and personalities. Away from the limelight it is always so refreshing to see just how normal people are and the guys at T&E were a great bunch to spend the best part of a day with. I dropped by their main shop in Yokohama to try to get a behind the scenes look at what is one of the most respected aero parts makers in Japan. The man behind it all is Takahiro Ueno, who currently drivers the 2JZ...

PREVIEW>>D1 GRAND PRIX 2009 SEASON
Filed under: , , , , , , , ,  
Speedhunters
It honestly seems like it was just a few weeks ago that I was at Fuji Speedway covering the final round of the 2008 D1GP season, but it's already late March and the 2009 D1 Grand Prix season will begin this weekend at Ebisu Circuit. You can expect to see a lot of D1 coverage from Japan on Speedhunters this year, and we thought it would be a good idea to do a quick preview of the upcoming season before things get started....

ARCHIVE>>T&E SOARER'S LAST RUN IN HIGH RES
Filed under: , , , ,  
Speedhunters
Right now it's already Saturday evening here in Japan. Last night was Halloween, but it's not really the same as the USA. A pretty boring night for sure, but then I'm not really the hardcore partying type. Anyways, to celebrate the passing of another month, I figured I would post up a high res desktop wallpaper of Takahiro Ueno making a qualifying run in his Car Make T&E Soarer during last weekend's D1GP event at Fuji Speedway. Sad to see it go, but I also can't wait to see his new BMW at TAS this year! Widescreen and standard versions are available in the Desktops section....

NEWS>>UENO SWITCHING TO BMW FOR '09 D1GP SEASON
Filed under: , , , , , , , ,  
Speedhunters
It looks like veteran D1GP driver and Vertex shacho Takahiro Ueno will be saying goodbye to his iconic red Soarer following the end of the 2008 D1 season. According to a press release from Vertex USA, Ueno will be retiring his beloved Soarer and switching to an all new BMW 335i coupe which will be powered by none other than a Toyota 2JZGTE engine. The new Bimmer is currently being built at T&E in Japan, and judging by the teaser photo it looks to be coming along quite well. I would imagine that the car should be debuting some time around Tokyo Auto Salon in January. I can't wait to see what the finished product will look like....

CAR FEATURE>>VERTEX RIDGE D1 SOARER
Filed under: , , , , , , , , ,  
Speedhunters
Takahiro Ueno is one of the top D1 drivers. This JZZ30 Toyota Soarer has seen a lot of abuse but is always maintained to the highest possible level. Responsible for that are Ueno’s own companies, T&E and Sui:Vax. T&E is the company behind the Vertex body kits, while Sui:Vax builds the engines. Paul Castillo from Japan was kind enough to share these pictures with us. Expect to see more of his work in the future on Speedhunters....
