Default Project Car Magazine: Issue 01

Have you guys picked it up yet? it's their first premier issue and it seems pretty good.

i bet the mag will do pretty well in the future.

The whole magazine is about getting cheap cars and modify it...you know just like the real world with real people.

I'm sick of all these car magazines showcasing something i'll never get or catering to ppl who makes $80k/yr or more and drive 1000hp supras.



This issue they cover 3 cars: FWD, RWD, and AWD

1995 civic $2500
1991 240sx - $1800
1990 Eclipse gsx - $2900

I'm sure $1800 is a normal price for a 240sx
$2500 for the civic
and $2900 for the gsx.

I picked it up a couple days ago. Good stuff in the way it's written. (Step by step) Bad stuff in that the steps are tward rice set-ups and bolt-on ---- that's modeled after the instuctions almost verbatum.

D-Sport had a pretty good write up about N2O

People thinking they'll be able to pick up a 2k dollar tunar car and make it something worth having will increase the demand for the 2k dollar tunar cars therefore increasing the price.

I used to write in for the school paper, and for the local newspaper, had some random stuff published in random magazines.

It would be my ultimate goal to write for an automotive magazine.

I just picked up this magazine yesterday night, I think I'm going to submit an article on my Homemade Supercharger setup on my Neon. After I get some dyno sheets anyway.
