When Audi released the second generation TT a few years ago, the car's styling won over many who weren't sold on the first generation car. With just a drop and a set of wheels, the new TT could be transformed into something special, and that's just what Christophe Waterplas of Belgium has done with his '07 TT 2.0 turbo. After starting
Last week I headed over to the World Racing shop in Torrance to check with in the guys as they readied Chris Rado's time attack Scion tC for the upcoming season. It turned out the car would actually be seeing some dyno time that day, so the scheduling had worked out perfectly. Chris Rado's exploits have been featured numerous times on Speedhunters
A Speedhunters reader by the name of Kevin sent us an email sharing a radical BMW build he found. Based here in the US, this 1988 M5 is one of the most thorough privateer track cars I've ever seen. Weighing at a scant 2,500 lbs thanks to lots weight shaving and carbon parts, this E28 is track-only car that sees action in regional SCCA and BMW club
As I walked through the pits at the March Meet last weekend passing drag cars of all shapes and sizes, I spotted an absolute monster of a vehicle. Was that an old school ambulance? Indeed it was. From the time when they were made from fullsize passenger cars and not from vans. And it wasn't just any old ambulance, but one of the fastest in the world
Alright, here's a build that may lack speed, but more than makes up for it with charm. David as big fan of the Speedhunters and is living a bit of the dream life, restoring vintage cars in at his home in Nagoya, Japan. David's stable includes several different JDM classics, and the latest addition is this 1967 Mitsubishi Minica 360 micro wagon
I've been shooting time attack events in California for a while now, and at each event I always find myself gravitating towards the cars built by Evasive Motorsports. Part of it is the fact they are usually at the top of their class, but another was their perfect resemblance to the Japanese time attack cars we love. Needless to say, when Evasive
As we gear up for the onslaught of the 2010 season, everyone seems to be getting busy. Yesterday I tagged along with Chris Rado and the World Racing team to a dyno session for their time attack Scion, and in just a bit I'll be heading out to the Inland Empire to get the latest on the Rockstar Drift tC. Before that though, I need to finish up my
Honda's new CR-Z has only been on sale in Japan for a couple of weeks now, and already tuners are jumping into the fray to see what they can do with the "Sports Hybrid". Spoon's CR-Z has already been outfitted with uprgaded brakes, suspension, wheels, an exhaust system and an ECU tune. Seems quite promising so far. Spotted over at
Moving right along, here's the second part of my trip to Famoso Raceway for the 2010 March Meet. March has always seemed like the unofficial start of the racing season, and taking in this drag race culture was a fantastic way for me to kick off the 2010 season. If you think stance is only about slammed ride height and stretched tires, think again
Reader's Month might be over, but we are always looking for cool reader-owned vehicles or guest blogs to post up. Here we have a JDM-spec Mitsubishi FTO GPX that belongs to reader Jacob of Australia. The FTO might not be the most popular platform around, but you have to love the 2.0L V6 that revs all the way up to 8250 RPM. Cool car, Jacob! -Mike
