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.

An Integra Type R competing in the All-Japan Gymkhana Championship. Its Ohlins shocks, Swift springs, Maximum Works exhaust manifold, and original air-cleaner system were all developed to win. They may also offer useful ideas for street tuning. .
The engine is enlarged to 2,044 cc and fitted with a Trust TD05-25G turbo. The suspension uses Quantum RS, and the brakes use R34 Type M components. The aero mixes East Bear, Impul, and HKS Kansai parts effectively. .
