Wth are they?

Two of them are Hyper Rev. They're basically chassis specific encyclopedias. Each issue features a dozen plus single page features on various examples, with a couple longer articles (all in Japanese of course). They also showcase many of the various parts currently in production, I'll post some pictures of random pages from one of my RX7 issues.

The other is an Option magazine. They are not vehicle specific and cover a wide range of tuning styles, from the Amuse GT1 to hard core show cars. They used to even cover Japan's street racing scene until the Japanese gov't put a stop to that.

Here are a couple HR pages I took a pic of just now:




Amuse's original Touge Monster is easily my favorite modified car ever. Its perfect.

Nice, I always like seeing aftermarket parts for cars even if it doesn't apply to mine. Especially oldschool or rare parts

Ok so how ironic is this...I started watching the "mighty car mods" on YouTube from season 1 a few days ago and in season 2 they take a trip to autosalon and actually show some of those magazines!!!

hope u get it fixed soon JDM swap?
also a lil tip i learned from shit mixin my moms camry together becoz shes always havein accidents, make sure there is no stress on the radiator or other parts like her camry she had a separate auto cooler and that started leaking becoz i didn't notice the stress it was under after a crash

[2002BlackDragon]

Actually, everything else is good. Even the rad is still in the stock location. I'm really lucky it didn't turn out too bad. And if I do end up going jam swap, I'd prefer old style front. But I won't be too picky. Just right now money is a huge issue. So I'm afraid she is gonna look like this for a long time.

[CHICAGO_ONE]

Been there Dragon. Been rebuilding this past year. Was all OEM and look at it now. LoL

Good luck. I know the struggle

The Galant is looking real good Jon

Bulk piping, flanges, and mandrel bends. Nothing too special as far as pictures are concerned, but after a few cuts and welds, it'll all be something worth looking at.

[demond0d5]

Which engine did you end up going with Matt?

It currently is a 3.5L 6G74, but it'll come back out when the turbo setup is done for its final revision.

[demond0d5]

So why do the fitment with the 74 instead of the 75?

Because it's the exact block and heads that will be in the car with the turbo installed. I have a few reasons as to why I have no interest in boosting a 75.
