As a nation famed for its patience, discipline, and peace of mind, the Japanese appear to have a habit of restoring essentially the most unforgiving and uncompromised race cars to the road. Probably essentially the most famous – or most documented, at the very least – is Takeshi Moroi’s Porsche 962C featured by Dino back in 2012. Many years earlier, this is able to’ve been thundering down the Mulsanne Straight at over 200mph. Nevertheless, seeing it parked in front of a Tokyo Family Mart is in some way much more impressive. For those who prefer your race cars more suited…
Scattered across Japan is a mythical chain of stores that bring wonder and excitement to all who visit. ‘Up Garage’ reads boldly in blue and red over yellow, a reputation well-known to JDM enthusiasts. But for individuals who think manga is a few latest American political term, a visit to Up Garage seems like visiting eBay Motors in the actual world. Consider it as eBay circa 2008, back when real bargains could still be found. That’s because Up Garage isn’t your average parts shop. Every little thing here is used – wheels, bumpers, headlights, exhausts, and more. Better of all,…
It’s been almost two weeks since we dropped our first Tokyo Auto Salon 2025 story, and as you could be aware, a number of changes are underway here at Speedhunters… We teased a site ‘refresh’ a few days ago, and while we all know the forthcoming redesign may not be for everybody, it’s all a part of an even bigger plan.

Given how vast the tuning scene is in 2025, it’s hard to assume a time when ordering aftermarket parts to your automobile wasn’t so simple as clicking a button. This shift isn’t limited to the aftermarket world. Nearly every major auto manufacturer now offers a level of customisation beyond just optional extras – think BMW’s M Performance, Mercedes-Benz’s AMG Line, or Toyota’s GR series. In actual fact, today you possibly can order an unpainted carbon fibre bonnet to your 2.5-tonne Range Rover Sport directly from Land Rover as an option in the event you’re so inclined. Whether that’s a superb…
On this era of content creation, it’s easy to fall victim to the algorithm overlord – the little thing that rewards us for posting more continuously after which punishes any image uploaded in landscape format. Shorts and Reels are a must because all of us have terrible attention spans, yet the monetisation of long-form content now means even basic videos require quarter-hour of chat beforehand. Social media is usually a confusing place. Because not one of the above issues consider that little thing called actual life. No algorithm aspects in delays or issues. It doesn’t care when you are skint,…
One in every of the important thing elements for being a modified automotive fanatic is the power to set yourself an unrealistic deadline. The type most right-minded people would quickly dismiss as ‘impossible’. Even essentially the most avid petrolhead would likely suggest something wacky like getting it ready for one more show as an alternative. But for the die-hard tuning addict, no isn’t an option. This must change into your life’s work to complete it a method or one other for the unrealistic date set. Often on the expense of time, money and naturally your sanity. We see it unfold yearly at…
