All eyes have been on the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada these past 2 weeks, so it's only fitting that we showcase a little piece of the west coast scene by highlighting some cool local S13s. These cars may look a bit rough around the edges but they do have oodles of style. I get the feeling these cars, there are just build to drift so they don't have to look like showqueens. The white S13 has had quite a history as it was vandalized last year. Some people spray painted the car and...

CAR SPOTLIGHT>> NORTHERN SOUL SR-COROLLA

Filed under: AE86, Canada, Car Spotlight, corolla, DMCC, Drifting, Rod Chong, slammed month, Vancouver

This past August, I was invited to be a guest judge at a local drift Drift Mania West event, held at Western Speedway in Victoria BC, Canada. As you can expect at typical North American grass roots drift event, the majority of the cars competing were S chassis of various types. But one drifter chose to break the mold with his choice of car and went in a more old school direction: his name is Chris Scremin and this is his 1985 SR-86. Chris is one of the top drifters in the west coast Canadian scene...

EVENT>> DRIFT MANIA HITS THE WEST PT.2

Filed under: 180SX, AE86, Canada, DMCC, Drift, Drifting, Neptune D, Onevia, S13 Silvia, Vancouver

Ok, let's jump straight in to part two of my Drift Mania West judging adventure... As I had to attend to judging the drift runs from qualifying on, this blog post isn't going to read like a regular event report as I was unable to shoot the action during these sessions... But I'll do my best to share with you my own observations from the event.... someone requested more shots of the S12, so here you go! Now that I have the use of a proper camera to shoot events and features, I've been...

EVENT>> DRIFT MANIA HITS THE WEST PT.1

Filed under: 180SX, Canada, Chaser, Cresta, DMCC, Drift, Drifting, S13 Silvia, Vancouver

Our man in Japan, Dino Dalle Carbonare has the unique responsibility of reporting the latest bits of automotive culture from Japan on a day to day basis. In looking at his MSC Honjyo report, I find it quite amazing just how easy it is for you, the Speedhunters reader to get a sense of what's happening, on the ground, in this far away, exotic land. As for myself, I quite enjoy reporting on how drift culture is consumed by different countries around the world.... so for this blog entry I'm...

GALLERY>> BACK TO ACTION IN SEATTLE

Filed under: divers street rods, Drift, Event, fd seattle09, Formula Drift, Gallery, Seattle, Vancouver

There's been a lot of business to take care of at our office in Vancouver for the past few months, so it's been a little while since I've been in the field with a camera... But that all changed today as we just shot at two rather different automotive scenarios, each within a few miles of one another. It all started a week or so ago, when John Naderi from Streetfire.net invited us to a shoot he and Will Roegge were conducting just down the road from Evergreen Speedway in the Seattle area...

CAR SPOTLIGHT>> DEAN COLLINS' FFR BUILD

Filed under: build, Carl Jarrett, Cobra, FFR, Vancouver

Comparing Dean's FFR build to other kit cars is like comparing apples to oranges, or your average kit car to a custom built hot rod. I would compare Dean's car to something Boyd Coddington's shop would produce if they built a Cobra, or even something Ford themselves would have built, it's that clean! When I first saw this car, I actually felt embarrassed by mine, Dean's attention to detail is unparalleled in the kit car circle, at least as far as I've seen. The stance is just...
