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.

Two Sev ens arrive with their rotary engines roaring. The Seven really is cool! But one of them seems to be having a little trouble… This time: the rotary-engine edition! Let’s head to a tuning shop!
Hey, what’s wrong?
Even the rotary gets a turbo boost!

Oh, right! There’s a tuning shop nearby. Let’s go there.
