A nice look back at the days of wheels no larger than 15 or 16 inches and horsepower numbers no higher than 200. Look closely and you'll even see a guy out there with a brand new R33 Skyline. -Mike Garrett
Yesterday I was flipping through the latest issue of Drift Tengoku magazine when I came across the section that regularly features abnormal drift cars from around Japan. This month's issue had some pretty incredible one cars, one was a bitchin' VIP Y34 Gloria built by Supermade that had been swapped with an SR20 and a manual, and the other was
I think the opening shot of this girl checking over her R32's rear tires perfectly represents this past Sunday's event at Nikko. All the ladies were out to impress and they sure as hell didn't hold back. To give everyone a chance, the competition was divided into three groups: beginners, intermediate and the experts. This HCR32 entered in
Along with all the girls competing in the Queen Battle there were tons of other drifters there to have some fun, and one guy that was stealing all the looks when out on track was Hitoshi Sato in his Lancer Evo 6. The technique was simple, major lift-off before the corner and something resembling a scandinavian flick, then as the car would snap sideways
So of you lot who were at the Long Beach Formula D... let me ask you this: what did you think of the judging and the Top 32 format? From my perspective, this was the best FD event I've been to. The judging seems spot on and the Top 32 format allowed some interesting upsets and tandem battle combinations. I think Ryan, Jim and company have really
Boy I'm tired... I've been shooting photos non-stop since the Formula D event, and haven't had a moment to sit down to get any stories prepped for the site... Let's see here: on Sunday, Linhbergh and I went to El Mirage with the NFS Shelby Terlingua for an impromptu shoot, yesterday I shot at both the Twins Turbo and SO-CAL Speed Shops
Man that Mike Garret guy is really fast!.... I'm just starting to write my Thursday report and he's already finished his.... well I have a good excuse, I was out at a film production meeting this evening. We're pulling out all the stops with a big HD video production this weekend, and have brought out some big guns to shoot the drifting
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
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
