WElcome to the new world. Well over half of anything automotive will be axed in this economy. I was a big sport compact car reader back when I was in school. It may have not been the best out there but it had its moments.

I always wanted to enter in the SCC Chanllenge and now can't damn!
They have some decent tech. articals.

If it wasn't for Super Street trying to look like a Maxim mag. they would have been axed also.

At least I still can read Dsport yeah.

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

My new favorite is Project Car. Im not sure if they got the axe also.

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

DSPORT is the best automotive magazine. sport compact car is the worst thats why they died.

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

no, GRM is the best auto mag

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

They started to go downhill. Price went up and page count went down. I remember when it was a magazine that took awhile to read from cover to cover. Now there's nothing to it. They went from like almost a half inch thick mag to like readers digest size. How long till Grassrootsmotorsports kicks the bucket?

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

Sport compact actually use to be really solid. I think we will see more magazines fail has people cut back on things like magazine subscriptions

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

Project Car is the ----... i just with there was a place around here that carried it.

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

I bought a car mag for the first time in 4 years since a friend was in Super Street last month



Last time before that was because of HMT ITB's write up with Jeff franks props were in a Honda Tuning mag back in 2004

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

hell yeah i get every issue of project car its more real than most other mags, as in it could be ---- i could do in the future

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

Newsflash- All magazines are dead. Count the amount of advertisements vs. actual reading material and you'll realize your $5 was better spent on the internet for 6 minutes.


Oh, and DSport sucks ass.

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

Whhhaaat? I thought you really liked the DSport!

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

I agree with Steve for once.

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

I did, when it first came out. Then it became a self serving promotion of the editors' cars. Throw on top of that the review of the truck bedliner, (one of the editors must have wanted one for his truck), and it's plain to see they don't give a damn about tech.

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

I read every issue from '93 thru '97, and sporadically through '98. It's the only magazine I could ever standm then I outgrew it.

I gave forty pounds of the magazines to o0Quicksilver0o, hope he passes them on to a good home in time.

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

The only magazines I read are the FHM and Stuff magazines my gay barber gives me. I think he thinks that I think he's straight because he gives them to me, but I know what time it is.

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

And you keep going back for more.

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

I liked Honda Tuning magazine till they started making it 75 percent JDM ---- and K series bullshit. I don't know if it's my love for d-series or what but I can't stand looking at a K series motors. Every time I look at one I think CDM sweat shops for some reason full of 8 yr olds.

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

Project car is cool. I like when they built that hmt setup and beat the b16...

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

+1, i was a big honda-tuning reader and now that almost every car in there has a K in it, i dont plant to buy anymore. i cant remember the last time i saw a d series in there

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

I suscribed for two years and killed it due to lack of tech and stupid project cars.They were going downhill and me liking dsms and honda's give more credit to Project Mag and Honda Tuning for keeping it informative.---- even ford and chevy mags are written better.Now if they could start a mag on mitsu's.....

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

A couple of weekends ago I was at a Hastings and the store had two magazines dedicated to DSM's but I do not remeber the names.
All I know was I was shocked to see a magazine for DSM but was really surprised to see two.


I think one the magazines were called Mitsu but not sure.

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

I like k series motors more than the timing belt throwing h series

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

Need a HMT magazine... real performance for the masses.

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

I can't find HCI any more. They had some good tech articles and build-ups.

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

....wow :l

I had a subscription to hot rod magazine since I was a kid, but lately it all seems to be $100,000+ builds with chevelles with 22" rims and a ton of unnecessary ----. They used to have articles about making cars fast for $500 and now it seems its all that BS so I cancelled the subscription.

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

Recession= Budget builds again in mags

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

Fixed it for you.

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

i only subscribe to turbo... that is about it. grassroots motorsports is ok, but too much circle track ---- for me. i'm curious about project car, maybe canada isn't cool enough to get it yet.

Re: Sport Compact Car is Dead
 

i like GRM. Honda tuning has gone downhill, and import tuner makes me want to slit my wrists, them and super street. UGH
