I was up in freezing Fukushima-ken yesterday, more specifically Ebisu Circuit, to shoot a few nice cars for all of you avid Speedhunters.com readers. Since I still feel rather let down by the fact that there was no real big S-chassis event at the beginning of this month, I thought I’d make up the lack of interesting Silvia’s from Japan by bringing you a few shots of a rather special machine. -Dino Dalle Carbonare

This was probably the biggest surprise at the Super Lap Battle last week, the Koyama Racing Labo Evo X built in collaboration with Team Orange. Anyone familiar with the world of JDM tuning will have no doubt have heard the name Koyama, he is of course the man behind most of the projects that JUN has built over the last two decades. Earlier this year however he decided it was time to move on, time for a change and joined the guys at Team Orange up in Nihonmatsu, the home of Ebisu circuit. more on speedhunters.com

Did you know Enkei has been making aluminum wheels since 1967? Here’s a 1974 Mitsubishi Galant found on the Japanese Nostalgic Car forums. It’s rolling on vintage Enkei Apache wheels and a stunning reminder of what the original Japanese tuner scene looked like.
Back then, Mitsubishi hadn’t set up shop in the US yet, but was looking for ways to enter the North American market. Meanwhile, the Big Three had been caught with their pants down when the 1973 Oil Crisis struck. Customers were clamoring for small, fuel-efficient cars but they had none to offer.
So Chrysler and Mitsubishi struck up a deal and sold this car here as the Dodge Colt. To read more about this car, check out this thread –>click here.
