My J-Tuner magazine feature has been confirmed and the photoshoot is taking place this Friday. Hopefully the feature itself will be in the mag around October / November, I'll let you know when it is.
Soon my car and the club will be famous! (Well, for a month at least s:wink: :wink: s:wink: )

What is J-Tuner? And where can I get it? Never heard of it before.........
Also, like the Avatar Sean!!! s:D :D s:D
It's a fairly new magazine, currently on it's third issue. Most places stock it, garages, WHSmith etc...
Of the Japanese specific mags around it's about the best, with a mix of the best parts of Banzai and Japanese Performance IMO.
Right oh. Will check it out. Cheers
definatley worth a buy, plus you get a free autoglym kit, a key ring and a T-shirt with every subscription, i've got mine on now s8) 8) s8)
Youll have to take it off sooner or later *hold nose*

I hope that the gold spandex suit will come out if you are pictured with the car Sean!!

Can we all come and stand in the background s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

They normally give you a copy of the pics before its published mate, you'll have to post them on here.
Congrats!

I'm going to ask the photographer for a copy just to keep so I have some nice pics of the car, so yes if I get them I'll post them up s:) :) s:)
Just got back from the shoot, and good fun it was too. They did the static and detail shots outside a huge industrial warehouse then the on-road stuff on a small lane outside of town - they showed me the pics as they went and they looked great. Unfortunately they couldn't let me have any as they were freelance guys and had signed agreements with the publisher not to give out copies, but I'll ask J-Tuner for some when the article has been run.
I'm looking forward to seeing it in print now s:) :) s:)
more congrats required, all this good news just keeps getting better!
Where are the pictures? s:?: :?: s:?: s:?: :?: s:?: s:?: :?: s:?: s:D :D s:D

It's not been published yet - I don't think it will be this months issue (due next week), I'll post them up when I get them.
Thanks Sean! s8) 8) s8)
Got my copy today: Looking good Sean! s8) 8) s8)
Great pics (even the head-shot s:wink: :wink: s:wink: ) and a decent write-up too. You've done yourself and all of us here proud mate, congratulations! s:D :D s:D
Quote from: "Ekona"Got my copy today: Looking good Sean! s8) 8) s8)
Just to let you all know before you rush out to the shops
J-Tuner is not out till Tues 11th Oct (Ekona must have a subscription order) which is sent out a week before the shops receiving there copies
yea i wanna see the pics!
Sweet! Just got my copy in the post this morning; I'm well chuffed. The pics look great and the writeup is good - no added BS if you know what I mean! Mark also gets a mention as my co-turbo-installer which is cool s8) 8) s8)
How can I get a copy? I've never seen that magazine (USA). It is so cool to have your car in a magazine (proud owner, too). I was very, very fortunate to get in Grassroots Motorsports. It was just a fluke, really, as I had not done anything noteworthy to the car yet. They were doing an article on dyno tuning and did a dyno before and after installing a Team Moon exhaust. Several color pics, even one with me and Per Schroeder (excellent writer and driver). What a huge rush that was.
Congrats, mate!
Hey Kevin,
I am seding out a copy to Barkingspyder next week, so I could post one if you like? I will be scanning the article too though.
A scan works for me. Something like that is suitable for framing. I bought several copies of the GRM. Thanks. s:) :) s:)
hehe got mine delivered too good job.
Lets get the spyders out there. s:D :D s:D
Philster.
Come on then, where are the piccies? Damn it, you'll make me go and buy the mag.
Did you get front page?
I have my photo shoot in two weeks s8) 8) s8)
I don't want to scan the article until the mag has hit the shops, which is tomorrow - after that the scan will be up!
I got a little pic on the cover (not the main one). You should enjoy the shoot Adam, the guys I had were very proffesional and friendly too.
Should I organise some where locally for them to go? I was thinking of outside my mates tuning shop, formula 1's opposite Brands Hatch or Arena where I go drift racing.
They are both a little themed so may be quite good.
It might be worth suggesting. When they came up to do mine they scouted the areas before calling to say they were ready, and had arranged with the owners of the industrial unit to use it as a backdrop before we started.
Who have you got coming to see you?
We want to see a scan of the article!!! s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Is it ready yet? Hurry up Sean I only have 5 minutes before my boss comes back and I have to close this window s:lol: :lol: s:lol: s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Sorry for the crappy scan quality, I have an all-in-one jobbie that doesn't do any one thing particularly well s:? :? s:?
Also, they have been drastically resized from 25+mb!
Please remember all of the contents of the images are copyright of J-Tuner magazine - and go buy a copy too s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
/me idly flicks through my subs copy of J-Tuner
s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
Looking good Sean. Shame I can't find a copy of J-Tuner anywhere round here otherwise I would go out and buy it!!! Grr......... s:evil: :evil: s:evil:
Still think, as a modded car, yours does look the nuts mate. It really does. And as you know, coming from me (mr Anti Mod! s:wink: :wink: s:wink: s:oops: :oops: s:oops: s:lol: :lol: s:lol: ), that HAS to be a compliment......... s:D :D s:D
very nice indeed congrats s:D :D s:D
very nice mate, how much do you think you've spent so far on it??? or would you rather not think about it??

Take a look at my IMOC garage HERE (http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/garage.php?mode=view_vehicle&CID=45), it lists all of the mods and the cost - if you can't view it, then the total is around £5.5k s:shock: :shock: s:shock:
If the above link doesn't work (as it didn't for me), try this one (http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/garage.php?mode=view_vehicle&CID=45) instead.
It's scary how quickly the mods add up: I'm past Sean's total, and I haven't even included the turbo yet! s:shock: :shock: s:shock:
*EDIT* Okay, so I'm not quite past Sean's total yet. But I'm only £200 behind!
/me runs off to order something expensive
Wow. You've certainly given me something to shoot for. Must win the lottery...
Well done, Sean! I enjoyed reading that.
Quote from: "Slacey"Who have you got coming to see you?
I don't know yet. Steve's been organising everything so far.
Congratulations. s:D :D s:D
Got my copy today in W H Smith's, looks really good, nice one Sean! s:) :) s:)
Excellent article, Sean. You got lucky.
Had that been produced on this side of the pond, the tone would have been a bit diff:
"Sean's chillin' to the max in his fully sick Haas Stage II. Burnouts and donuts just seem to happen when this beast prowls the streets. The sound system is off, he's J-Spec'd for the game an' can you say "bling-bling" baby? Oh yeah, this '2 has style to spare - homes scored hisself a set of custom bars backin' up the action in the cockpit!"

Great article, Sean s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
I shed a tear over the departure of the Ninja - proper Mills & Boon moment s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
Must track J-Tuner down 2morrow......
Great article Sean!
I want those tail light covers!
Very good indeed although a bit short (ok, I would only be happy with a 20 page feature).
It's worth the money, now I know how I will be spending my lunch break.
