Turbo magazine(rant)
 
That is the magazine that started this ------- obsession for me back in 95.I remember reading about a teal green dailey driven civic with a d16(that back then ran a 12 :o) built by Pro Motion Motorsports in L.A and I knew what my quest in life would be.

Today I go to Barns&Noble and pic up a copy of that mag(I havent read one in like 4 years)and to my surprise that mag is now a carbon copy of Import Tuna :-X.That magazine used to be the best ------- magazine with the awsome and informative tech articles.And it used to be thick as ----.Now it looks like a leaflet.It seems like every mag you pick up now days is filled with drift and rice.....wheres the performance?

What mags do you guys read?

I stopped reading mags about 2 years ago. I couldnt take another how to intake install >:(. My reading involves hybrids.jp and hmt. Turbo was the best and always had some good write ups.

i like honda tuning and sport compact car. Import tuner is usually a ricer mag. Yeah... i noticed that, turbo isnt as good as it used to be.

Dsport.. but then again i dont pay for it.

they seem to have less ads in that mag though. they just did an article about a z6 hatchie that runs i think 10s..

but ya, magazines anymore are just ads with articles about "how to tune your skyline" but they left off.. The skyline you will never own :(

Sport Compact Car is my mag, but they're devoting more and more space to rallying, which is cool, i'm just not interested in it. I think the tech articles are really good; as they deal with not just turbocharging your car but all performance aspects of the car in general. Other than the rally thing I haven't noticed a general decline in the quality of their articles, that plus I give them props for still using flat black spraypaint on their project cars ;) Plus their performance testing is the best from any magazine, period.
