Japanease car magazines

These are the lastest Japanease car magazines landed here in the last weeks.

I own every single issue of GTR magazine and Option from 2005. Option Magazine has just arrived to 500 issue. Like last year a nice muffler towel from Kakimoto racing is included. There is also a nice dvd with the 500th issue with some iconic Jap cars.

On Subaru Magazine the review of the new Impreza RA-R, build in only 500 pieces and now sold out.

Usually lots of infos from Japanease tuner, new parts and nice pics.

Now i bought a rare Impreza S204 limited edition. Only 600 cars has been build with this specs. My car is the 177 of 600. The S204 main difference are:

- bluprinted EJ20 with super response VF42 turbo,
- Yamaha special dampers in the boot and underchassis in the front.
- STI/Recaro special front seats in Carbon/leather and alcantara (ultra expensive).
- Special low rear wings with stop light fitted inside.

The previous owner added a full set of HKS hypermax IV damper and a very expensive defi gauges set (turbo boost, oil pressure, water and oil temeprature) fitted in a carbon lateral arm.

A HKS EVC 6 2.4. IR has also fitted for control the turbo boost; from 1.2 to 1.45 bar.

Shah MotorSport & Harlow Japan Auto

Some days ago i visited, with my cousin and a close friend, one of the most incredible places for a japan car enthusiast here in Europe.

The place is in the lovely countryside in the essex. Here there are the headquarters of Harlow Japan Ajto (HJA)  and Shah Motorsport i think the best places f you want to buy a high quality Japanease car. 

Subaru Impreza, Mitsu Evo, Nissan Skylines GTR, Honda NSX, Nissan S15, and many more models. Every car availble in stock in UK. IT's really a crazy thing. So not only stock car but also limited editions like IMpreza S204, Spec C, Evo 6 TME and cars tuned by Japanease tuner 

Naj and his brother, from Shah MS,  has been really kind and helpful and they allowed us to see all the cars in detail. Shah and Harlow JI works very close and they are a guarantee if you want a Japanease car in mint or near it.

Here some pics of this unforgetable day.
