Mike Kojima

Mike Kojima is a long-time editor of Nissan Performance Magazine, Turbo and High-Tech Performance, Project Car and Import Tuner magazines, and was an editor for Sport Compact Car (which sponsored the Ultimate Street Car Challenge). Kojima has also written several books on Honda Tuning and General Tech. His self-professed "reputation" is that of a "nerd" (having worked both for Nissan and TRD as an engineer).His columns (and indeed his vehicles) reflect the highly technical approach he takes to making power. One such example is his famous "dog car," an underpowered Nissan Sentra besting many more powerful vehicles (such as Subaru Impreza WRX STIs) on road courses. He has also been a popular figure on internet forums and mailing lists for many years, such as the SE-R list, which focuses on Nissan SR engines and Twinturbo.net.
