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.

Flex point: the world's first backrest divided into two adjustable sections—the secret of the AAR seat.
Upper Backrest
Upper backrest. Stepless adjustment from 25 degrees forward to 10 degrees backward. Three-dimensional shaping follows your body's curves.
Lower Backrest
Lower backrest. This is the most important section for firmly supporting the lower back. It is also steplessly adjustable.
Hip Support Pleat
Seat-surface seam. A single seam across the seating surface supports the sit bones and is shaped for the Japanese body type.
Rounding Front. The front of the seat surface has a concave design, reducing pressure on the underside of the thighs and greatly improving pedal operation.
