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.
242 available scans from Young Version — August 1999, in right-to-left reading order. Japanese OCR and English translation drafts are available throughout. Drafts have not received exhaustive image proofreading; unreadable source remains recorded in the archival data.

I was happy with my sale through JAC.
JAC
They are trustworthy, unlike other buyers.
I wanted to sell to someone who would pay well, so I visited many dealers, but things did not go as I hoped. A friend introduced me to JAC. Appraiser Mr. Doi offered the high valuation shown here, which lifted my spirits.

No matter the circumstances, a promise is a promise—and especially when it comes to payment, you want it kept. Unlike other buyers, JAC appraiser Mr. Matsumura is trustworthy. He paid the full amount in cash, just as discussed by phone.

They made the paperwork easy and hassle-free.
No need to worry even when the inspection is coming up.
After selling, I no longer had the car, and the paperwork became a hassle. I really wanted to avoid that, so I chose JAC for a reliable paperwork process. Appraiser Ms. Kobayashi completed the follow-up smoothly and on schedule.
I decided to sell, but the vehicle inspection was only three months away. I was unsure what to do, so I asked JAC. Appraiser Mr. Takenaka offered more than I expected. Thanks to JAC, I no longer need to worry even when inspection is near.
