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.

The ultimate spark-plug wire, engineered to deliver the ideal ignition. Ultra’s original copper-core wire and pure-silicone insulation provide high voltage resistance and durability. Its unique design places a fixed winding resistor at the end, supplying a stable, even spark regardless of each cylinder’s wire length. Simply replacing your wires with Ultra Power Plug Wires has been shown to add up to 3.8 horsepower in the company’s bench tests.
Speedometer and peak-hold display; 0–200 m / 0–400 m measurement (selectable distance); intermediate acceleration timing; trip functions (distance, average speed, top speed, rpm); rpm memory and shift-timing function; tire-diameter correction; speed-limiter release for competition vehicles (some automatic cars require a separately sold adapter). Connect the photo-switch adapter for more accurate 0–400 m measurements. (For competition use only.) Adapter kit No. 4069-10: ¥9,800.

SILICONE PLUG WIRE
M.D.I.(Mltiledcaredton)
A completely new ignition mechanism delivers ultimate performance. This is the strongest ignition system in the Multiple multi-discharge series. It controls the number of sparks per ignition event: three at low rpm, two at midrange and one at high rpm. The result is sharp response and strong torque at low and midrange speeds.
