I got this from PF, it's done by a Brisbane bloke and apparently he's not able to afford doing it anymore unless he can get more subscribers, so i'm thinking of at least buying up the back catalogue from him, if he's got them left.

 

BUT as i'm browsing through the site, I spot none other than OKE250, and a nice arse shot of it =)

 

So jamie, i'm guessing you're a subscriber.. and i'm guessing it's worth it?

yes, and yes =)

 

i've met jon a few times, he's really cool to talk to, and owns nice cars. he's been at the last few all toyota days you know :(

 

haha good thing you reminded me about this actually, my subscription ran out a couple of months ago and i've been meaning to renew it

you'll also notice alex-now-scott's ke10 on the back cover of the issue before mine

i'm subcribing too, although i could pick mine up....lol

 

he lives in the next suburb over from me....well thats where the PO box is... =)

bugger all, like 30 bucks a year i think

Yeah, thinking I might as well

Me ! MEEE!!!

 

Yes !!!!!!!!

Definatly worth subscribing to!!. Also worth buying all the back issues, some great reading on different old jap cars. It costs him about $4 grand to put out each issue, so lets all help him out !!. =)

Do they include some specifications of the cars they restore (eg. power output, torque, etc)? Or is it just details on the restoration?

email jon, details on the webpage

 

no, you don't get power output and a list of what brand name components the owner has had fitted by a workshop. this is a magazine for people who appreciate old japanese of all types, from corollas and RX3s, to 2000GTs and prince skylines, to daihatsu light trucks, to a rare 1920s "datsun fire appliance". it's an interesting read, but if you want to see kw at the wheels and what electronic boost controller they have on the dash with no idea of how to use, subscribe to zoom (which i do as well)

I meant factory output, not restored/upgraded output. I'll probably still subscribe anyway and buy up all the back issues, especially Issue 1. Mmm, Bathurst Corolla.

tops, it's a good interesting read :thumbsup:
