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.

It is said to help protect against dry starts, which can cause the most engine wear. Let’s pour it into the YV Civic’s engine. Warm the engine, add 5–6% of the total oil volume, then idle for about 10 minutes to let it circulate. Now it is ready. Let’s test it on the street! Revving from idle to high RPM, there was little difference in acceleration…
After about 100 km of break-in driving, it is said to show its effects. Because it is 100% chemically synthesized and contains no solid fluororesin, this one bottle can also be used with most lubricants except vegetable oil and brake fluid. Since even U.S. special forces reportedly use it, if you are skeptical about additives, why not give it a try?

…it works beyond the engine too!
MT-10 can be used in a wide range of systems—including the engine, transmission, differential, and power steering—with just one bottle. Has there ever been an additive like this?
It acts directly on metal surfaces and is an additive intended to reduce friction. It contains solid fluororesin materials such as Teflon and is 10% chemically synthesized. It can be used with most lubricants except vegetable oils and brake fluid. 235 ml, ¥4,980.
Beyond previous additives…
Power steering
It acts on the metal itself to improve its surface. Through a chemical reaction, MT-10 changes the metal to an optimal condition and protects it from friction. It is intended to reduce friction loss and…

Then idle for about 10 minutes… That completes the procedure! For best results, drive about 100 km to break it in.
First, warm up the engine for about 10 minutes. Then turn it off and add 5–6% of the engine-oil capacity.
