After spending some time in Ebisu circuit the other day shooting some drift cars I realized the lack of drift events in this "off-season" is getting to me. I always complain I cover too much drifting during the year but I'm experiencing some rubber-smoke withdrawal symptoms. So I thought it would be a good time to take a look at the other
It's always interesting to see how passion can push people to create very unique cars, and this Miata from Italy is the perfect example. The owner and avid reader of Speedhunters, Filippo Pirini, has been working on his little Mazda for 3 years and plans to have the car ready in the next year or so. Filippo will compete in one of the Italian drift
Those of you who've been following our coverage from the recent Pro-Am Nationals at Irwindale Speedway will have noticed that Canadian Ian Fournier took the overall spoils at the wheel of his four door ER32 Skyline. Although this type of car is a fairly common site at drifting events in Japan, it's rarely seen in North America. And this points
Yesterday we took a look at a custom '67 Camaro from Japan, and now it's time to look at another SEMA Camaro of slightly different type - the Grunewald Racing drift Camaro. It was only a matter of time before someone took to drifting the big Chevy, and Conrad Grunewald will be doing just that next year in Formula Drift. The car was built by
One of the things I like about the themed months on Speedhunters is the opportunity to see the diversity that comes with one brand or type of car. One thing I've noticed about BMW's is the wild engine swaps people do on them. Really, it's not surprising when you have an inexpensive RWD car with a well-engineered chassis and a large engine
I was just doing my rounds on the blogs I visit daily, one of them is the blog that Jon Sibal runs. He posts about his cars, internet finds and about his work as a illustrator. Today I was greeted by these pictures of the Spirant 180SX that Jon dug up somewhere. This 180 is one of my favorites together with the one that Koguchi build and Antonio featured
Andy at Powervehicles often picks up some pretty crazy looking cars at auctions, or via tuning shops he deals with. This JZA80 Supra is no exception, especially the wild BN Sports Blister kit it has been fitted with. The in your face drift look seems to suit the big Supra quite well, just take a look at how the front and rear fenders have been blistered
Despite not being quite ready for competition yet, I thought you guys might like to take a little look at Ueno's ¥30 million D1-GP BMW project. Last month I dropped by the SUI•VAX workshop to take a few shots of the 3-series, which as you can see looked very much completed, aesthetically speaking. The project was based on a 320i, which
I'm sitting in the car park at the JDM Allstars Newcastle site... ...and Ive managed to get a sneaky shoot in with Anthony Scott's Rocket Bunny S13. ....only a quick report, as I'm a bit pushed for time. engine: RB30 with GTR ported and polished head, HKS 260 cams spool H beam con rods, CP oversize pistons, Garret GT35 turbo 40mm external
I took these photos with my Canon SD800IS point n shoot camera when we were filming the Birth of Pro Street film for Spike TV at Formula D Seattle in 2007. This FC "truck" belongs to a guy named Earl, who I met on the practice day before Formula D. His FC stuck out so much from the lineup of normal drift cars! Anyway, I think anyone who builds
