One thing we love about what we do is meeting various people within our industry, from owners to enthusiasts, Videographers to Photographers, so it always good to me a fellow Porsche enthusiast as well as a talented Photographer, Lucas Dulski.

Porsche 997 Turbo-R

The Speedwells Porsche 997 Turbo-R

Lucas got in touch with us as he desperately wanted to see the Speedwells 997 Turbo-R up close and personal, but he wanted to shoot the Turbo-R too, and after taking a delve into his past work, we would have been silly not to let him indulge in his passion of taking photos of all things Porsche.

After organising and deciding on a date to suit all parties, Lucas took the drive down from Chester for his preferred night shoot and it’s a shoot we also wanted to try as the Turbo looks so sinister with its murdered out black look, which is about to change in the coming weeks, so we were intrigued to see how this shoot would turn out and it didn't disappoint, Lucas certain has skills behind the lens, with a meticulous attention to detail.

We had a very long but enjoyable evening shooting the Speedwells Turbo-R, starting in the heart of Solihull in Birmingham getting pictures as dusk fell, then driving around finding other cool locations to shoot the car, my personal favourite was a car park next to Touchwood shopping centre, it was such cool location as night time fell.

For anyone looking for a great photographer we can highly recommend Lucas, he knows exactly how a car should be pictured, all you have to do it bring your vehicle of choice and let him do what he does best which is getting creative, but don't take our word for it, check out his work on Facebook & Instagram pages. Until next time Lucas.

 

M Speed R34 GTR

As a company, we are always looking for standalone products that can sit alongside our own product that we produce, and sometimes we like to revisit the old products from yesteryear, especially the ones that slipped under the radar. A conversion that stands out that we frequently look back at is the beautiful conversion that was offered by M Speed Japan for the R34 Nissan GT-R, this was a wide body in its finest form, and one we still admire some 10 years later, and although the R34 has now reached cult status the pricing on the GTR has gone well north, some of the prices we have come across are just plain crazy, but as with all the Japanese 90’s super cars they are all turning into a collectors dream with prices soaring.

There is always people that are going to be into modifying and for the very few that would actually put their R34 under the knife, this wide body dry carbon goodness is still available. So what aero parts do you need to convert your standard R34 GTR into this immense track GT500 inspired widebody beast: Front bumper, front splitter, bumper canards, brake duct, wider front vented fenders, side rockers, rear quarter panels, rear bumper.

Option extras include a rear diffuser, rear wing assembly, side exhaust, carbon fibre dash. added to this we can offer lightweight forged or magnesium wheels, coilover suspension, as well as other tuning options that are available.

The kit has never been exported outside of Japan, so if you fancy turning your R34 into a track inspired race GTR, then get in touch and we will make it happen.

The M Speed Nissan R34 GTR Wide Body

 

Over the past couple of years, we have seen the speedwells wide body aero kit for the Toyota Supra gather some momentum, since we have added the aero to our website we have had lots of interest, it helps when current owners like Lawrence Duckers are out and about with his amazing Black Wide Body, which seems to look better every time we see the car across various media platforms, Iby certainly built a stunner when he put this one together and it’s good to see that Lawrence is putting his own stamp on the build, adding more power with a turbo install, and we are sure there is more to come from this particular Supra.

There is a new build happening and we have been privy too and it’s a beauty, Sean Reid is the man responsible for yet another UK build and from what we have seen so far we are excited by this one.

Sean's Black Supra before the mods

The base car he sourced was from Ireland, a beautiful black example which before he purchased had just had a fresh coat of paint and it was a stunning example, many people would be asking why cut up a perfectly good base car, but when your friend is Iby from Speedwells it all starts to make sense, let’s just say when it comes to modifying cars he is a bad influence, and Sean himself is no stranger to the modified scene, his daily driver is a lowered Murdered out Audi Avant, sitting on super wide concave wheels , so the Supra didn't stand a chance of a standard life once it come into Sean’s life, but as we always say at VAD, a stock car is a boring car.

The reason this build caught our eye was colour choice, which is a classic Grey from the Porsche colour range, its very reminiscent to the Lamborghini Grigio Telesto or the Audi Nardo Grey, which we like, especially now this colour is adorned on his wide body Supra, this is one colour that will show off all of the details that can be hidden by a darker colour.

Sean's Build process of the Speedwells Wide Body Supra

A special build needs a special wheel and as reported in our previous email Sean has decided on our very own VAD VM1 mesh style design, its and old design now, but like all good mesh designs get them right and they are timeless, and this is one build we can wait to see fitted with our design.

Sean is a man after our own heart when it comes to colour for his wheel set up, as he is going with a matte black centre with gloss black barrels, chrome studs, in sizes 10.5x19 front and 13x19 rear, this is one beauty we just can’t wait to see all finished down the camera lens.
