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.

Street driving is fun, but a circuit where you can go flat-out without getting in trouble is special! And battle-style track days—the so-called ‘Sunday races’—are really hot right now! YV’s racing beginner Marimo actually entered one and reports how it went.
Woo-hoo!
