Use your illusion
Genki-7 is Isami Amemiya’s pet project, a car that has managed to tread uncharted territory in the rotary tuning world and take the Tokyo Auto Salon by storm

Crail’s pace
Our annual thrash at Crail Raceway saw Scotland’s enthusiastic Japanese car community descend on the event in force

Cutting a dash
In a crisp new suit and equipped with an evolution of an exceptional chassis, the Mazda3 cuts a dash on the roads in more ways than one

Supra size me
It may look like a Supra and it may have a 2JZ-GTE under the bonnet, but this JPS Motorsport Supra is far from being standard. We take a look at the latest challenger aiming to take the fight to the top cars in the HKS Drag Series

Gang culture
Time it right and the Tokyo Auto Salon car park turns into the annual gathering place for the craziest Bosozoku parade you’ll ever see on four wheels

The non-conformist
Who says that AE86s have to wear panda colours and replicate the Initial D tofu delivery car? We meet Chris Hughes’ non-conformist experiment, a multi-coloured scheme that shouldn’t really work but looks amazing in reality

The lex-icologist
Beating with the turbocharged heart of a Toyota stablemate, Billy Shea's big power IS300 makes a big impression as he takes the luxury Lexus sports saloon to the next level

World class
Nissan’s motorsport campaign steps up a gear or three with the reveal of its FIA GT1 World Championship competitor. We discover what it is going to take for Nismo to hit the ground running come the series launch in 2010

The brawn identity
Shorter, wider, lighter, stiffer and more powerful than the outgoing Z33 – what is there not to like about the new Z34 Nissan 370Z? Almost nothing…

Round one
It’s that time of the year again. The 2009 Time Attack and European Drift Championship seasons get underway!

Good things come to those who wait
Few Hondas are as rare and sought after as the 1989-1991 Integra XSi. No wonder Daniel Fallon’s super-smooth example draws a crowd wherever it goes!
