GRAN TURISMO: LEXUS IS F Lexus’ first attempt at creating a pure super saloon, the mighty IS F was such a hit that it paved the way for a string of iconic ‘F’-badged models and unsettled the German rivals in the process…
022 CRAIL SHOW REPORT We’ve got all the very best to show you from our visit to Crail Raceway, in Scotland, earlier this year.

COVER STAR: MAZDA RX-7 This 20B-sporting Rex may be a full on show car (yep, with audio and everything) but Christ, does it go! We’d like to say you wouldn’t like it when it’s angry… but that’s the best bit!

WIDEBODY BEAST: 350Z This mentalist Nissan looks like it
jumped straight out of a computer game. Then again, that’s the whole point. It’s the bastid child of a 350Z and GT-R, all with a less-thansubtle Rocket Bunny Twist, TRACK WEAPON: R32 GT-R If you asked our Midge what is his
favourite R32 GT-R in the UK right now, this carbon-clad menace would be the answer. Bonkers!...

NETHERLANDS: STARLET With 415bhp this isn’t your average little Toyota trolley - it’s what you call a proper Japanese hot hatch!

ON THE COVER: ROTARY MX-5 How do you make the most popular roadster of all time even more popular? Slapping a Wankel under the bonnet isn’t a bad start!

SLICK STYLE: HONDA S2000 This flippy-trippy S2K may look a little bonkers, but it’s more than got the minerals under the bonnet to back it up. All 570bhp of ‘em!

RETRO SLICK: MAZDA RX-3 The only thing madder than what’s under the hood of this old skool Mazda is what’s inside the cabin! Mean, green and, er green.

SLEEPER-STYLE: V8 RX-8 Normally we reserve all our affection for engines of the Japanese persuasion… but we cant help loving this hairy-chested swap. Bring on the Detroit muscle!

STREET STORMER: SUPRA TT With 1380bhp and a block full of concrete you’d be forgiven for thinking this Supra is some sort of single turbo drag racer. It’s not!

ED’S WILD CARD: SWIFT TURBO Yes this turbocharged Suzuki racecar is quite a thing to behold, and well worthy of the pages of Banzai. In this month’s Wild Card spot though, we’d mostly like to pay homage to the owner - racing legend Hideki Maeda, Chop Shop PCD Guide Swapping your wheels? Here’s all the info you’ll ever need...

ON THE COVER: NISSAN VARIETTA The standard Varietta is about as easy to find a hen’s tooth in a pile of rocking horse poop, so try finding a turbo one… and then fitting a Rocket Bunny kit! Madness.

SIDEWAYS SPECIAL: NISSAN PS13 Purple hair, purple drift car - makes perfect sense to us! Say hello to Syril the Silvia, destroyer of rubber. That’s his of crucial title.

Events Preview Show season has officially kicked off, so here’s what’s coming up over the next couple of months. 016 Sacrilegious Swaps You want proof that the Japan produces the best engines of all time? Well, here it is.

GRAN TURISMO: RT40 TOYOTA CORONA DELUXE It might not look like much at first glance, but this Sixties Toyota saloon could be the very reason the UK’s Japanese car culture is as special as it is today.

Track addict Iain Brooke loved the way Mazda MX-5s handled, but not their distinct lack of pace. It’s why his personal circuit-slaying example now packs a forged, boosted motor topped off with plenty of aero to keep everything in check.

CONTROL FREAK Fed up of engine failures and blown turbos, Dan Bloomeld wasn’t cutting any corners when building up his big-power STI track car. The result is this heavily over-engineered Impreza that takes everything you throw at it in its stride.

MY STORY: 425WHP COROLLA Scott Robertson might have chosen a slightly unusual project car to focus his interest on, but in doing so, he’s proven that you can make anything work with the right amount of time and effort...

TECH TALK: Q&A One of the leaders in aftermarket performance cooling and accessories gives us the scope on how it came to be, it’s lifetime warranty policy and what’s in store of the future… 071 TECH TALK: PROJECT CAR SPECIAL
Anyone can build themselves a project car, and you don’t need loads of money or even plenty of time to do it, as long as you approach it carefully, as we show you.

THE GTR SHOP OPEN DAY We took a trip over to see our friends at Skyline specialist The GTR Shop for their open day, TECH CHECK: HONDA STREAM It may be a seven seater, but even supercars are being left for dead by Russell Taylor’s absurdly fast Honda Stream people carrier nowadays. The school run has never been so much fun.

GRAN TURISMO: MUGEN TYPE R This very, limited-run version of the FN2 Civic was one of the last normally-aspirated Type Rs ever made. But is it a tribute to an iconic era in Honda’s history?, TIME FLIES In the two decades it’s been in his hands, Steve Riches has tried and tested practically every performance upgrade available for his R33 GT-R. And now he reckons he’s finally developed the perfect fast road/occasional track formula…

THE HOTTEST HATCH From the screaming all-motor running gear to the perfectly balanced chassis setup, Andy’s Civic takes everything that’s great about old-school hot hatches and dials it up...

DREAMS CAN COME TRUE - No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you: that really is a fully-edged GT racer NSX on British number plates. And the story of how it got here is as painstakingly complicated as you might imagine…

MK2 MR2 - It was the final ever example of Nissan’s line of legendary S-chassis sports cars, known for its endless drift and track tune-ability. But what was it like in standard trim?

9-SECOND R35 - Roberto bought his car as virtually standard, but he’s turned it into an animal putting out over 1200bhp and running blistering 9.3 second quarter mile times…

S15 200SX - It was the final ever example of Nissan’s line of legendary S-chassis sports cars, known for its endless drift and track tune-ability. But what was it like in standard trim?

TOYOTAFEST 2017 - The annual pilgrimage for all things Toyota related took place once again with the perfect back drop supplied by Long beach, California and more...

Spring Action Day - We headed down to the iconic Castle Combe circuit in Wiltshire for one the very first shows of the year.

R32 Skyline GT-R - Paul Chilton talks us through the tail of how and why he acquired this tidy looking R32 Skyline GT-R packing a whole host of modifications, as a track car and more...

HONDA ACCORD TYPE R - It’s perhaps the least remembered Type R from Honda’s late-Nineties winning streak of road cars, but should this do-everything super saloon actually be heralded as a hero?

JAPFEST SHOW GUIDE - Everything you could want to know about this year’s Japfest Silverstone show, from what’s on and when to where to find all of the top attractions and more...

7.2 Second Datsun B1 10 - Shane Bugeja's Datsun 1200 started life on the other wide of the world. Now this Aussie monster runs low 7s and looks better then ever, tool.

Time Attack Supra - A Toyota Supra might not be the first choice when it comes to circuit racing, but that doesn't mean you can't make it work with the right modifications and more...

MKIV SUPRA - It spearheaded the Nineties sports car movement which put Japan firmly on the automotive map. But can the twin turbocharged Supra still cut it in 2017…

R35 GT-R DRAG CAR - We take a close up look at a very special street legal R35 GT-R drag car that does 7-second quarter miles and is unlike any other on the planet.
