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.

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.
