CarMad Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Not heard of it before. Probably won't go too much to do around the house I am being told at the moment. I really must remove the imprint of the finger on my forehead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayerbloke Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 I heard of it a year or so ago in "Japanese Performance" magazine, which I subscribed to at the time. It was always one of the biggest events in their calendar year. Think I might give it a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_longbow Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 This is a big thing on the Toyota Ownes Club site apparently Toyota are giving them two big trailers filled with stuff to impress. check out some of their posts under JAE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayerbloke Posted July 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 I stopped reading Jap Perf. Nothing masively against the magazine [though they need to be careful they don't go any further down the Max Power route of all cosmetic and no mechanical mods on their feature cars], just my subscription ran out and I decided I`d rather subscribe to R&T instead. I`d bought the BMW by that stage and wasn't thinking of changing my car anytime soon so just didnt feel like reading it anymore. Not what you asked, but I may as well explain it incase anyone ever does come across this post You say "to hand". I take it you read it, then? What`s it like these days?

schmoo Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 i bought one copy of max power and its basically a porn mag with cars in and full of chavs JP however features a lot of high spec cars (skylines, evo's scoobys etc) but ones where they are already high perf and not many where you buy a basic one and things you can do with it.. however in the recent one it featured a prelude beefed up, but i must say it didnt feature much cosmetic type of articles but mainly mech mods. Banzai is another but thats got more cosmetic stuff in it.. whats R&T? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayerbloke Posted July 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Road & Track. An American magazine so it doesn't have all that much relevance to motoring in this country, but there's some good articles and if you subscribe it works out at about £1 an issue, including shipping from the States. That`s unbelievably good value for money for a magazine that would retail for about £4 an issue if it was UK mag on our shelves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoo Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 where do you get it from? i bought fast car this morning cos i was bored in tescos. its got a free digi timer in it or summink. had a quick flick through on the throne, and youve either got fit women in underwear or french hot hatches with plastic on.. or an r32 or two with mental bhp bit better than the max power mag imho.

sayerbloke Posted July 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I got slated big-time for saying that on another thread. I`m still not sure about the looks, but as I said at the time, it looks a lot better than a Merc SLR [in my eyes, anyway]. http://www.caranddriver.com is their sister mag. That`s a little more mainstream, but still worth a look every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
