About this issue
The August 1999 issue of Young Version explores drift setups versus grip tuning through 22 shop demo cars, including S15 Silvias from Mine’s and Kazama Auto. Features cover front-wheel-drive builds taking on high-powered 4WD rivals, choosing a first drift car, and reviving a used AE86 Trueno on a ¥1 million total budget. Suspension fundamentals, engine-oil selection, rotary maintenance, new-parts tests, and reports from Hiroshima and California round out this look at Japan’s late-1990s tuning scene.

A front-half spoiler for the Civic that fits all EK models. White or black gel-coat finish, ¥28,000.
For EK owners who want something more than stock but think a front bumper is too flashy, this half spoiler is recommended. Its slightly projecting lip adds a subtle touch. It also gives the car a lowered look without lowering springs. The ducts on both sides add a sporty feel. Contact Do-Luck: 03-6744-9806.

O-One’s wide-duct hood for the Celica has a huge duct that gives it the presence of a GT-Four—or more. It’s lighter than the stock hood, helping reduce the front-heavy feel of FF cars. The duct has an inner cover to keep water and dirt out on the street; remove it at the circuit for better cooling. O-One Motorsport: 0493-2-6420.
