I know we are wrapping up Mazda month right now, but I have a few more photos I wanted to post before moving on. Last weekend at HKS Premium Day and the JCCA New Year Meeting, I spotted a number of Roadsters in and around the events, and I thought posting some of the photos would be a good way to close out the month. While these cars aren't the
I remember hearing some requests for a high res desktop version of this photo of Kenji Takayama in the R-Magic FD3S at D1 Fuji last October, so here you go. Widescreen and standard versions available now in the Speedhunters Desktops section. Enjoy. -Mike Garrett
One thing you might notice about Japan is the "team spirit" of its car enthusiasts. Whether its drift teams, VIP clubs, or even ita-sha groups, there are organizations dedicated to every type of car and model out there. Sometimes the clubs will be a broad group of friends that simply enjoy driving and hanging out, and other times they will
As we creep towards the end of Mazda month, I still have a couple of special features left to do. You have already seen some of the privately owned RX7 track cars in Japan earlier this month, but now it's time to look at the "top guns" of this. These are cars the cars that share more in common with works-backed racing machines than they
I spotted this late model Mazda Axela (AKA Mazda3) as I was walking through the parking lot outside the JCCA show yesterday, marveling at all the cool cars and firing off photos about as fast I could. As you can see, the owner has applied the 1960's rotor-themed Mazda logo to the front fender. Just something I thought was a cool touch, especially
Nogami Project, or "NOPRO" as it's better known, is one of Japan's biggest Roadster specialty shops. The NOPRO catalog includes everything from hardcore chassis components to GT style wide-body conversions. For a smaller company, NOPRO is extremely active in motorsport, and its biggest achievement has to be the 13B-powered Roadster
For Mazda Roadster enthusiasts in Japan (or J-style roadster fans from around the world), there's only magazine to know. Road&Ster . It's essentially the bible for those who live the "Roadster Life". If someone is fan of Japanese style Roadsters, chances are they have spent a lot of time hunting down R&S issues, and even more
At the beginning of the month, I posted some photos of "grassroots" RX7 drift cars from Japan and the USA. Now, I'm going to continue with some shots pro-spec rotary drift cars at D1 events on both sides of the pacific. I wish I could say that I was around to shoot some of the cars from D1's "glory days" (Haruguchi FC anyone
Hopefully you guys have been pleased with all the Roadster/Miata content we have been posting over the past couple weeks. I know I've been enjoying it (though maybe I'm a bit worried that the prices for used Miatas and parts is going to go up!). Anyways, this time I wanted to go through my archive and post up some Roadster photos that I've
I was reading through some of the comments on the Auto Salon kei car post, when I realized that we haven't posted anything about the Suzuki-built Autozam AZ-1 that was sold by Mazda during the early 1990's. It was basically a kei-sized version of an exotic car, complete with an MR engine layout and gullwing doors. With less than 5000 built,
