If you only download five issues, make them these:

, a publication that became the "portable" bible for a generation of enthusiasts obsessed with Japanese performance and street culture. The Paper Gateway

: The adventures of Max and Otto, a staple in almost every issue. Event Coverage : Pioneering coverage of "After Dark" shows like the first Hot Import Nights Shopping for Physical Collector's Issues

Full copyright of Import Tuner currently belongs to TEN: The Enthusiast Network (now part of MotorTrend Group). No official digital archive exists. However, for personal use:
