I used to buy them, but half of HT and SS are just stupid dumb ricer ----. I'll have to look into turbo magazine though. I used to get Hot Rod since it was all about cheap speed, but in the past years its turned into $80,000 restorations with 20" rims on these cars, its turning stupid.

Is the thickness because less ads or less content?

Car Craft...

Congrats Craig, nice to see some HMT representation in the mainstream media

Congrats Craig. I still won't pay a dime for any of those stupid magazines. Even for a dime, they're all a let down.

Re: TUNER TOYS in latest issue of Turbo magazine
 
somtimes i read GRM, and maybe sport compact car once in a while, but import tuner and stupid street annoy me to death. I think HT has gone downhill also.

Thanks Everyone!

I haven't checked it out yet. Need to subscribe, or at least pick up a copy. Is it the polished aluminum one or the new black ones? We did a Stealthmode version, in black with gray logos, pretty solid. One of the editors hit us up for something a while back, and we sent him a grab bag full of our unique items, guess he liked the vac manifold.

Cool stuff,

Craig

I always liked seeing a magazine showcase a product like they completely believed in it, knowing damn well it was either free ---- or a promise to advertise that made it happen. haha. "Looking out for the readers" ;)

fixed.

I got tired of reading the magazine of the black skyline, part reviews in the form of sales pitches from the manufacturer, gook models only, and showcased cars of the editors.

I still buy HT simply for the fact they have interesting honda news sometimes, as well as the "wrench" section or whatever, where they show how to do ----, is sometimes interesting.

But yeah, way too much JDM.

Re: TUNER TOYS in latest issue of Turbo magazine
 
it is the black one craig. it looks nice but they put the pic at a weird angle so it is kinda upsidedown...

turbo is starting to go the way of the other mags, they seem to go through phases, where they feature nothing but jdm cars in japan, then they feature nothing but dsm's, then they feature nothing but 350z's, then they feature nothing but puto cars. i like when they do the tech/new product stuff. the have some pretty good articles on new things in the import market before they get popular... like the synapse wg's etc. they also occassionally do a nice article on how to. they did one on the budget f20c to f24 stroker kit. the tech editor aaron bonk seems to know his ----.

I'm so sick of seeing sylvias and corollas in magazines. And the hot new 350z's with the same mods as every other 350z in a magazine... big whoop.

I met Arron at SEMA Year before last, he is a very nice guy, and isn't full of himself like some of the magazine guys I've met.

All those magazines, like Turbo, SS, HT, Dsport, HCI are all made by lie 2 different magazine companies.

I like turbo he best. Seems to have the most amount of actual information in it.
