オプション,

Option Magazine is one of the oldest tuning magazine I ever seen. Since I was a little girl, Option Magazine JP was a great tuning mag in Malaysia back then.

Then followed by Option Taiwan and Hong Kong. The sales of these magazines increase tremendously.

Flashback of Option Magazine – JP.

During the earlier days, the magazine used to cover illegal street races held in expressways before it became illegal to do so. Nowadays the series features Wangan competitions on closed roads and where it is legalised to do so.

Beside speed tests and modified car features, other regular features includes, a rate-my-car feature where readers send a photo of their car to be judged by Manabu Suzuki, with a comedic result; a monthly features, where Keiichi Tsuchiya solves readers' problems that concern with drifting, a monthly column called Sugoiyo Osaru-san (すごいよ！ オサルさん) by Ken Nomura.

Option line are Option 2, a similar magazine but less emphasises on feature cars but more on technical bits and DIY modifications; Option Wagon for modified MPV, Drift Tengoku, a magazine and video series dedicated to drifting and Video Option. The Option magazine is known to be very popular amongst JDM enthusiasts and people who work in the Import industry who use it to gain knowledge on new parts.
