GUEST BLOG: ROMAS TAMULEVICIUS>> MY AE86 BUILD
Filed under: , , ,  
Speedhunters
Hello Speedhunters! My name is Romas Tamulevicius, I’m from Lithuania, and this is my work in progress - or as I like to call it – my money pit! :D Everything started with just an idea floating in my head that I needed to build a drift car for myself. Just for fun on the weekends and to have a car that could take a beating. As I’m a total gear head, as well as a Toyota fan, the choice was narrowed quite quickly to a Corolla – which is a pretty rare sight here! So while the...

GUEST BLOG: BUILD-THREADS.COM>> SUNBEAM MINX F20C
Filed under: , , ,  
Speedhunters
The first build I showed you was pure American muscle, from the body, to the frame, to the guy's working their magic on it. For this next build I'm not gonna go all JDM or Euro on you, but the engine choice does come from the land of the rising sun. I know how much you guys love the Japanese stuff (as do I), but I do try to feature some of the more obscure builds to keep it interesting and fresh. This next car is a 1966 Sunbeam Minx in the stages of receiving an F20C transplant and 4-link...

GUEST BLOG: AMS PERFORMANCE>> INSIDE OUR 1000HP GT-R MODIFICATION
Filed under: , , , , ,  
Speedhunters
It's been a while since we have seen a Japanese Supercar on US shores. While we were all excited to see the new Nissan R-35 GT-R, rumors were circulating that this car was so electronically advanced that it could not be modified. Here at AMS we were intrigued by this notion and so was Chuck Hannold of the popular GT-R forum board Nagtroc . As time passed tuners including ourselves have been finding ways to improve the GT-R but Chuck was looking for something more. Chuck established a lofty goal...

Speedhunters
I've been working hard on the car in the garage as well as on the computer building up a visual target *that's what we call it in the games biz* for my FC build. I wanted something to be able to show people what this beast is going to look like. Enjoy the teaser! Should have the car really for IPO right around SEMA. - Carl Jarrett

CAR LIFE>> MY FC RACE BUILD PROGRESS V 1.1
Filed under: , , , , , ,  
Speedhunters
You might remember my blog post in July finding the car to start my newest project, a road race/time attack/hill climb/who knows 1988 Mazda RX7, as promised here's the official part 1 of my EPIC (please note my pretentious and humorous tone here) RX7 race car build! Over my break from work and after my eyes healed up from laser eye surgery I finally had some free time to get started on my new adventure. Step 1 is the messiest and dirtiest but pretty damn fun at times, the tear down... The tear...

CAR SPOTLIGHT>> DEAN COLLINS' FFR BUILD
Filed under: , , , ,  
Speedhunters
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...

RANDOM SNAP>> MAZDA RX7 FC3S TIME ATTACK BUILD
Filed under: , , , , , ,  
Speedhunters
I don't have much information on this car, but it's a pretty rad looking build for a tin top race car. All the front subframe is aluminum, and it all looks hand fabricated too. Anyone else have any more information on this car? - Carl Jarrett
