IAMTHESPEEDHUNTER: Wagon Lovin' - Speedhunters. SHARE. #IAMTHESPEEDHUNTER: Wagon Lovin’ There’s So Much Room For Activities! Judging by the reaction we received when we asked you to submit your wagons to us, we know that you’ve been looking forward to this special Readers’ Rides feature as part of our much anticipated Wagon Week here on Speedhunters. Firstly, we must say that the quantity and quality of the submissions for these monthly #IAMTHESPEEDHUNTER features seems to be increasing dramatically. Honda didn’t need to make their fun sports car mid-engine. But they did anyway and the world is richer for it. Since the dawn of automotive modifying, there’s been a pre-eminent formula that has always proven to be a blueprint for performance success. A theory so simple it. ![]() It’s obvious that there are some hugely passionate wagon fans out there and we’re very excited to showcase some of the awesome cars you sent through to us. Competition was tough; so tough in fact, that we’ve had to include a Bonus Wagons section featuring some extra cars that we couldn’t bring ourselves not to show off. So, in no particular order, here are the wagons that stood out to us: Arild Dyrkorn, Fredrikstad, Norway. We’re completely smitten with Arild Dyrkorn’s beautiful ’6. Volvo Amazon, which he picked up around 1. Although the old ‘Vo had been given a fresh coat of paint, it was still very tired and in need of a bit of TLC, so Arild fixed her up and added a few extra bits for style points. The Volvo is now lowered on coil springs modified by Milwaukee, the 1. Volvo steelies have been painted black and replica wing mirrors (from an early Ford Mustang design) were added. On the inside he’s included some cool little touches, such as a Mooneyes surfboard rear vision mirror and a Nardi steering wheel with a wooden ring and polished spokes. The overall look with the dark green paint, contrasting brown vinyl interior and stock hubcaps with the wide white wall tyres is simple, classic and quite stunning. Other subtle changes include the removal of the original bumper overriders and the lower rear reflectors, clear indicators added up front, and the rear lights have been swapped for all- red lights from a pre- 1. Amazon sedan. Serving as a daily driver during the warmer half of the year, Arild plans to take his Volvo off the road over winter to fit an engine and tranny from a late model Volvo 2. It won’t be anything extreme, but having double the power and a 5- speed gearbox will make cruising in traffic a more pleasant experience, for sure. Arild tells us, “Contrary to popular belief, these cars are quite difficult to modify as nothing ever fits! So it’s been quite a job to make it all to work, but with help from good friends we’ll get there.” That’s the spirit! Zach Green, Te Puke, New Zealand. Next up, we’ve got something quite different: a fully dedicated Nissan Stagea drift wagon from New Zealand. Owner Zach Green tells us that he originally bought the car to use as a tow vehicle, as he had every intention of buying a Nissan Silvia to use as a dedicated track car. However, after taking the Stagea for a tune and realising that it made decent power, he decided to take it along to a track day to see how it performed. As you can see, things escalated rather quickly! The sideways Stagea runs an internally- stock RB2. DET with a Link G4 engine management system and produces 4. This healthy figure comes by way of a Garrett GT3. R turbo and Ti. AL 4. Sinco Customs top- mount steam pipe manifold, front facing plenum, upgraded ID1. . Sard fuel rail and fuel regulator, and a Walbro 4. LPH fuel pump. The wagon also runs an R3. Racetech bucket seats and a hydraulic handbrake, Hardrace adjustable suspension arms, OZ Racing coilovers and a 6- point TIG- welded rollcage. Zach currently has the car in pieces in the garage, where it’s being completely rewired and getting an all- new E8. You can follow his progress on Facebook here. Reuben Bemrose, Wellington, New Zealand. Would you like a WRX with your turbo, sir? We couldn’t leave New Zealand before taking a peek at this very exciting Subaru Impreza WRX build from the capital city of Wellington. Reuben Bemrose’s ’9. GF8 wagon has been off the road for almost four years now, with the past 1. JZ- GTE VVT- i engine conversion, which involved recessing the firewall by 4. Along with the fully- built 2. J motor, the WRX has had an enormous amount of work carried out on it during that time, including the installation of a Skyline rear differential setup, tubular subframes and chassis, and an extensive custom rollcage. Other modifications include fully custom suspension and arms, a Hypertune intake manifold, BAM exhaust manifold, a giant Garrett GT4. R snail, twin 6. 0mm Ti. AL wastegates and blow- off valves, 1. ID injectors and a full Pederson dry sump setup. Those massive Work Equip wheels (measuring 1. Weighing in at 1,1. E8. 5, Reuben’s aiming to have the car finished within the next six months – although he’s been saying that for the past two years! But with all the necessary steps having been taken to ensure the WRX wagon will be 1. You can also follow his progress on Facebook here. Mike Amezcua, Salt Lake City, Utah, USAOur next submission also happens to be a Subaru wagon, but it’s just a tad bit older. This is Mike Amezcua’s 1. Subaru DL wagon, which he’s owned for the past three years. The old Subaru has a stock 1. FWD layout and a 5- speed manual transmission, and it served as Mike’s faithful daily driver up until a year and a half ago when he decided to step things up a notch and push the project forward a bit. Mike says, “I’ve basically had to write the book on how to lower and modify these cars. They really aren’t very common and if you find one, they’re usually completely rotted out. Parts are limited, but some things are interchangeable, or at least usable on some of the later renditions of the DL and GL models. For example, the bolt pattern for the wheels is 4×1.Mike also tells us that he’s also upgraded the exhaust since these images were taken, and wheels are next on the to- do list.The plan is to have custom steelies created so that the hubs don’t have to be modified.Sounds good to us!Watch Folders Adobe Media Encoder Cc on this page. Turbotax Deluxe 2009 For Windows on this page. Steven Davis, Alberta, Canada. With the huge volume of Volvo wagon submissions we received, it was definitely hard to select just a few. Our second pick was this very cool 1. Volvo 2. 40 station wagon belonging to Steven ‘Spiff’ Davis. Steven explains that he can’t take all the credit for the car as it was built by his good friend, Carter Bourgonje, and it was around 7. So, why did we choose to show this particular Volvo, you ask? Let’s just say that you should never judge a book by its cover…As well as already coming with the name ‘Lolvo Baggins’ (which Steven says he hasn’t been able to bring himself to change), the 2. Ford 3. 02 V8 swap. Other goodies include Trick Flow heads, valves and hardened push rods, a Trick Flow cam, Ford Racing head gaskets and lifters, Scorpion 1. Comp Cams dual timing chain and Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold, a T5 World Class gearbox and a King Cobra clutch and flywheel. Oh, and did we mention that it’s on air suspension with a hardwood rear floor and custom air tank? We’re starting to think that Steven might have deprived us of engine bay and interior shots on purpose! With its peeling clear coat, rust patches, cracked dash and worn seats, the old wagon certainly has a loveable charm about it, but the real appeal is how much of an epic sleeper it is. With BBK Shorty headers and Dynomax Race Bullet mufflers, Steven describes the Volvo’s noise levels as “ridiculously loud.” He adds, “It might look a bit shabby, but nothing’s more satisfying than going wide open on the throttle and feeling like your ears are about to bleed!”Luke Stitt, Canberra, Australia. Luke Stitt has shared these images of his beloved ’6. Toyota Crown Custom estate, and not unlike Steven’s Volvo this car also has something interesting hiding underneath the hood. The old Crown was Luke’s first car and he’s had it for 1. As it’s evolved over the years, the overall look of the car has become cleaner and it’s still retained most of its period correct looks. But underneath things have gradually become more and more serious – to the point where it’s now making 3. The Crown’s current set- up consists of a 3. M- GTE Supra engine with a high- flowed CT2. Backing the motor up is a 4- speed Supra A3. RN2. 0 hilux diff with a Truetrac LSD, while the brakes are a mash- up of parts from a 2. Ford Falcon GT, a JZA8. Supra and an Evo VIII. Luke tells us, “The car has a factory third row seat that you sit sideways in, so having people hanging out the back window while cruising makes for all kinds of funny situations.
