With AWD-month coming to an end I thought it would be interesting to look at a pretty rare car to come out of Japan. When people think of Subarus the rally-bred Impreza is without a doubt the first that will come to mind, with the more mature and elegant Legacy not so far behind. The boxier and more awkwardly styled Forester may not be every one's
Having posted a few R35 GT-R features so far I thought it would be interesting to see how the most affordable supercar on the planet is actually put together. It's not often that manufacturers let you wander around their production lines, but Nissan has nothing to hide and gave us an in depth tour of how a car of this caliber comes together. It
It has taken one week of driving and a few days of reflection, but I have come to the conclusion that the Audi RS6 may well be the best all-rounder money can buy. The first day I picked the car up from Audi Japan I headed straight down to the Hakone Turnpike for a day of hard driving. One quick blast to the top of the summit revealed an immensely powerful
Here's a fitting new car intro for AWD month - the Subaru Impreza STI Spec C, which has just gone on sale to the Japanese market. Like the Spec C's of the past, Subaru has equipped this limited production model with a number of changes that bring a little more edge to what's already a great driver's car. Starting off with the chassis
Over the last few years aesthetic tuning has become an important part of the whole aftermarket world. One company I have always made sure to drop by and see at the Tokyo Auto Salon is Charge Speed, creators of some of the most eye-catching body parts for JDM parts. If there is one thing I appreciate in any and every area of car customization it is quality
Following on from my post on the Mine's R35, I thought it would be worth going back in history a little and featuring a slightly older GT-R. The BNR32 is what put Nissan on the supercar map back in 1989, and pretty much fueled the tuning boom in Japan during the 90's. Garage Saurus have been around since the beginning, building some of the most
When Nissan first introduced the original Hakosuka Skyline GT-R in the late '60s , the only body style available was a four-door sedan. Shortly after, the GT-R would be moved the two-door Skyline platform and it would be quite some time (40 years to be exact) until a Skyline GT-R sedan would appear again. In 1998 Autech released a limited production
When Rod mentioned I would need to get a car feature ready for the opening of AWD month here at Speedhunters.com I knew just the car to use. Mine's is without a doubt one of the most recognized names in the Japanese aftermarket tuning scene, specializing in building some of the most responsive engines out there. They are of course known for their
What's better? Saving the best for last, or starting things off with a bang? Right now I'm going to choose the latter. To kick off Speedhunters AWD month, I'm going to feature what just might be the greatest tuner car of all time. To even call the HKS CT230R a tuner car is a bit of a stretch, but since the car is built and campaigned by
