Relevant books and magazines

[Power_uP]

Its cool that he reviewed his old article, but I have noticed AE82 values are starting to rise now. Its a shame its taken so long because I always thought it was a decent car.

Anyway, here's a bunch more UK magazines. This time its the stuff from the 90's, when the car was still seen as something of an obscure 'Japanese thing' among all but a few people in the know. The Max Power article isn't bad, I think the magazine lost its way over the years but it started off quite informative. The Max Power article and the piece in C&CC are about getting more performance out of the AE86, something that wasn't easily done in the UK back in the 90s as the car didn't exactly have the following that it had in Japan.

Max Power, June 1994 (believe it or not):




Those who are extremely eagle-eyed (and have a good memory) might remember when the car shown in Max Power was on eBay in about 2004. I seem to recall it being sold as a package of about 10 cars that a rally school was getting rid of.


Cars & Car Conversions, March 1996:




Next post will be my collection of exquisite Japanese reading material. There isn't much of it yet, but some of it is pretty good.
