There are some cars that grab your attention on the track, and then you might even be lucky enough to experience that 5, maybe 10 minutes of that same car on the street. Not often does it happen in Australia due to the laws and tightness of police. After seeing this machine out on track in action a week prior to this shoot, it rushed through my skull
VIP Style... Drift Style... Hella Flush (?) style... Lux Style... Time Attack Style... JDM Style... These are all different labels which have been thrown around the US import car scene in the past few years. Once a style gets solidified, a rule set gets made and standards are created for what one should and shouldn't do with a car build. However
I have been photographing drifting in the UK for quite some time now and that has given me a privileged view point, watching the sport from its meager beginnings back in the day to the mega horse power tyre-shredding spectacle we have today, One driver-car combination that has stood out over the years is Steve (Stiggy) Evans and the mighty Toyota Starlet
When Rod told me my first month here at Speedhunters would be a drift month, I was pretty excited. Over the years I have shot my fair share of drift specific cars, but in the last year or two it seems shops have just gone crazy. D1 is in the middle of a power war it seems, with the top teams coming up with more highly tuned engines every season. To
I have seen some badass drift cars in my life but none of them came from Holland -- until now, that is. Lennard Wander has made one of the most stylish and aggressive looking cars to date, and I salute him for that.

As you probably gathered from the teaser photo I posted the other day, I recently took a trip to the famous headquarters and factory of HKS, which is located near the base of Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture. Japan's clogged highways made for a long drive out to Shizuoka from Tsukuba, but It was more than worth it to experience the home of what's
Earlier in the month I showcased a couple of my favorite cars that can be seen competing in the D1GP series and while we love pro drift cars like those, we haven't forgotten about the grassroots and street drift cars which are such an integral part of the scene. I found this particular Saitama-based Toyota JZX100 on Minkara and knew it would a make
If you check out my profile you'll see that I now own one of Ken Nomura's Blitz built Skyline ER34. Whereas my car was built to promote the D1 Street Legal Series, this S15 was built as a back up car for the D1GP 2004 season . It was the last season that Ryuji Miki competed in a S15 even after he won the that year's D1GP championship. For
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
