Judging by styling/ cover stuff - I am guessing this is Austrlian based - which wouldn't be their first drifting magazine... I have owned other Aussie dedicated drift zines...

The states had "Drifting Magazine" for a while and "RWD Motorsport (I think that was title).

*DJPimpFlex* · 01-19-2015, 12:15 AM

American based. Rad as fuck. You wont be dissapointed. Yours truly will be in the second issue.

^^^ What he said. Got the chance to look through a copy and can't wait for more issues to come!

Thanks guy! Really appreciate the enthusiasm

you all rock!

ditchs14; that was the exact inspiration I took from for this mini-mag. Not all car owners want to divulge their setup details. Two cars out of the 20 featured don't have a spec sheet, but all the others do.

brndck; no sir no ken block shit at all

just drift cars. Some you've seen before, and some I am hoping will be the 1st for many. Each feature has a write-up/article on the car and it's owner. Some of the Japanese guys from Japan only answered directly. Meaning they did not embellish much on their interview's. But we still got the specs and a little info on the car with great photos.

DRIFTER-M; We've been looking into retail options. Source Interlink seems to be the god-almighty in-store magazine middle man. However, when you call SI they tell you that the in-store function of the corporation is no longer in operation. We wont give up though. In time

Also, we are based in North America. Working with a great community of people from USA, AU, NZ, Norway, Japan, Canada, Europe (and neighboring countries), and UAE to bring a mix of drift cars from around the globe. Really want a diversity of anything with style. Be a missile, street drifted car, showish drifted car, pro/am, or pro car.

DJPimpFlex; 5,329 posts. Dayum dude..

Love you car bro! And thank you. Glad you enjoyed what you saw. Yours is in the mail and will be there this week..

specialk2003; thank you! really hope everyone that picks up a copy, or reads a friends copy enjoys it.

The idea is simple. Feature drift cars that are drifted. They do have to have a tad of style though. Meaning Stewy Bryant has beat the shit out of his car, but it somehow still looks rad as hell. Or Daigo's missile. Beat to death, but still fresh to death..

DRIFTER-M · 01-19-2015, 09:22 PM

Def hope you guys get into retail soon! I would love to go pick up a copy at the store as I love supporting retail.

THAT being said, I will order a copy soon! Thanks for answering my questions!

SaUcEy · 01-20-2015, 07:52 AM

Def in for a review on the mag! Good tuner mags seem to be rarer and rarer now

Just got mine. I'd like to do a quick review for those who are consider, but are not sure what they are in for.

1) This magazine is smaller than your typical magazine.
2) The stuff inside is amazing. Picture quality, build list and what not. You wont be disappointed.
3) Packaging is a little bad. It doesnt offer much protection to the edges or the whole thing. If Op sees this, please consider adding bubble wrap. I was very disappointed when I opened up the plastic envelope ( Im sorry, but im anal when it comes to magazines) I love collecting them, especially if its something as good as this.

Plastic envelope.

Messed up border. Im not sure if this happened when packing or during shipping. Its bugging the shlt out of me! Augh. I may have to order another copy thats worthy of collecting.

The final 2 pictures show the sizes compared to the option magazine.

*TheRealSy90* · 02-04-2015, 09:06 AM

Ordering mine today. What's the page count expected to be?
