Mail Sack - July 2009

One Love

Way Better Than Those Other Mags
For starters of course the cliche' "the magazine is great". I'm a 17-year-old reader (yet another cliche'), who's looking into buying a car (oh looky, another!), and getting into the drift world (apparently, I'm the Cliche' King). Oh... and I'm going to be the best. So, when I'm there, remember that you were the first to know. I just wanted to write in and tell you all how much I appreciate your magazine, and the insight that it provides me with. I've been a reader since `05, and even in all of the moving I've done, I haven't missed an issue. My infatuation/addiction had me stealing the magazines from my friends! I've got a pretty extensive collection, all in great condition, though that's beside the point. There was really no point to this letter, except to award you all the well deserved gratitude that you probably don't deserve on a daily basis, because of the dickheads in black suits breathing down your neck. Good job guys. I have had subscriptions to just about every import tuner magazine there is... Import Tuner, Modified Mag and DSport- and yours is the only one that stuck. One thing I do remember wanting to say though, was I was pissed off about the guy who won LOTM in the March `09 issue, because he said something about Modified Mag having a 3K in it. If you aren't satisfied with SS as it is, pick up another magazine. You guys shouldn't change a thing.

Ya'll are the best,

Joshua the feeling's mutual. We know SS is the best, but we wouldn't be without the support from dedicated readers like your self. You know you can still keep your subscription to those other mags though - just use their pages for TP when you're enjoying ours!

More Of That Cowbell... Er, Fd3s
I'm a new subscriber, but a long time reader. I was reading your May '09 issue and I came across page 72. That FD is BEAUTIFUL! I drive a '93 myself and I'd like to get some info on that amazing machine. I'll take all the info you can get me, If you can include pictures or even a web address where that car can be found, it would be very much appreciated. I'm not trying to to get my letter published, I'd just like info to help my quest to build my FD. Here are the main parts I'd like info on (but anything will help).* The body kit* The taillight carbon cover* The rear diffuser

Thanks a lot! And keep up the great work!

We hate to blow it for you but we decided to go ahead and publish your letter. As far as FDs go, the Super Autobacs car is about the sexiest one we've ever seen. Fortunately for you and anyone else reading this, you can get your fix of the car on our website (www.superstreetonline.com/featuredvehicles/130_0705_super_autobacs_1998_mazda_rx7/index.html). It was originally featured in our May '07 issue. All of the parts you are asking about are from the legendary rotary tuner RE Amemiya. And just for good measure we decided to throw in one more pic of this beast!

Boom-Roasted AKA WTF Mate In C MinorUm. I'm not sure where to begin. I was just reading through your May `09 issue when I saw "3000GT" in the mailsack part. Being a 3000GT owner myself I started to read. Then I saw something that just made me say "WTF". In response to a letter about a guy and his 3s you said "did you read what Jeremy just said about your beloved DSM!?" 3000GTs ARE NOT DSM!!! DSMs were made in Illinois. 3000GTs were ALL built in Japan. The Dodge Stealth (which is mechanically the same) was sold by Chrysler. But it still is not a DSM. Eclipses, Talons and Lasers are DSM. 3000GTs ARE NOT. I'll still keep reading Super Street though.
