Readers ride of the month: Hyundai Getz

Bobby Hechter lives in Klerksdorp and must have the only modified Hyundai Getz in the country. We don’t ever recall seeing a modified Hyundai either. He says, “I want the world to see what my ride looks like and this has always been my dream to see my ride in the Speed and Sound magazine. Read more

Readers ride of the month: Toyota Tazz

Shaun has done so much work to his car that he actually supplied the details in point form but when it comes to his car he proves that he’s quite capable of stringing it all together. This Tazz blends together very well and it must be told that all the parts were fitted by himself with help from his nephews. The guys made a few trips to a place called National Garage in Petermaritzburg where most of the accessories including the body kit were purchased. Read more

Readers ride of the month: Ford Escort

Raymond’s Escort is older than most of our readers yet its shape and style is still instantly recognisable simply because there are still so many of them around, a fair part of them modified too. This is the case here although it still has a strong passion for street despite the inside looking like it belongs to a stunt driver. Read more

Readers ride of the month: Nissan 200SX

If you want your first taste of going sideways I can’t think of a better car than the Nissan 200SX S13. Since the early 1990s this car has dominated the drifting culture from Japan to Australia giving amateurs the ideal platform for future growth in the sport. It was this tail-swagger that captured John Drakeís imagination. He explains, “ I started my apprenticeship in 1991 as a technician when I saw this 200SX rolling onto my service bay.   Read more

Readers ride of the month: Golf 4

Akram has been reading Speed and Sound since the age of thirteen and with only two years of K53 behind his name he put that stored knowledge to effect on his Golf IV GTi. He started by having the front bumper modified ever so slightly, put on a more curved set of side skirts and added a rear apron. Read more

Readers ride of the month: BMW E36

This is what Donavan Anarchy had to say about his car: “I bought the car 5 months ago in a stock form but since then it has undergone a major facelift. I’ve taken out the standard headlights and thrown in a set of smoked angel eyes and a set of smoked fogs to go with it. Read more

Readers ride of the month: Honda

I’ve always loved this car and wondered why it never caught on in SA moddin’ culture. It seems that Rashied feels the same as I do and his Honda 160i DOHC sports all the best mods for a car like this. It may not be a power player but the interior, suspension and exterior use the finest of Spoon and Megan Racing ingredients. Read more

Readers ride of the month: Opel Corsa

This is Sashren Santhcoomar’s Opel Corsa and he is 20 years old from Durban.
He bought the car stock and now three years later it looks much better with all the right mods for this shape. Now it doesnít look like an innocent Corsa, it looks mean and scary, ready to give all those KZN no tolerance people hell. The first mod on the agenda was a set of 17″ EVO Friction rims wrapped in 205/40R17 rubber and to make these amazing wheels stand out even more he added a perfect 60/40mm drop. Now the Corsa has the right stance for its little size. The kit on the Corsa is one of the best and it completes the Corsa like no other. Read more

Readers ride of the month: Subaru

Can you think of one Subaru where the owner has tried to give it a cleaner more understated look? If I can’t chances are you can’t either. After looking through the pictures I imagined a long letter of how he bought the Scooby because he wanted to kick some M3 butt or he had a mate with an EVO and they wanted to compare whose had more luggage space. I wanted to know what planet he got the kit from or if Dark Vader pimped his car. Read more

Readers ride of the month: VW Golf Mk2

Derek was on good form when he chose the parts for his Golf Mk2 and left the motor with Sybie Coetzee and the team at Nitro Performance. On the job list was a complete flow of the head and some work on the cams while the bottom end had a set of 83mm Arias pistons. It was also fitted with a front mounted intercooler, a Dicktator management system, ARP bolt kit and of course a big T61 turbo charger. On the dyno the 2000cc 16V motor made 227kW at 0.8bar but the motor should take 2.0bar and this should see it make over 300kW easily. Read more
