i read 2600 allot. a hmt mag would be a good idea. we could make a simple booklet, make a bunch of copies, and hand it out to people. and try to have it sent out quarterly.

not very difficult.

meh, i dunno turbo mag is still a good mag, im not sure wich month it is cuz i gave it to my freind , but they had 2 11 second evo's a article about remote mount turbos (turbo at the rear of the car) and a article about a twin charged mr2 putting down over 600whp.

i still think turbo is a good mag, but it has gotten more "ricey" but theres only one person to blame for that, and thats primedia.

They own superstreet, sportcompact car, turbo, and import tuner, and a few others, its all the same company so they report the same ----. Its obviously working because ricers will buy it over and over again.

they have to many mags about building sti's and modding 350z's and what not. first off who can afford to buy them cars and who has 4k for a stroker kit on a new evo.

I buy Modified Mag every month pretty much, it's a good mix of Feature cars and tech stuff. I read SCC every once in a while, usually buy it if the tech stuff is good, though that's getting kinda rare

modified is ok... I really think we should put together an HMT mag... quarterly will be fine. Grassroots motorsports does good, i think we can too

i read Honda Tuning because they usually have pretty cool tech articles like budget boost and the LSVTEC one. but they are heading down hill with the rest of them. i also read Sport Compact Car every now and then because they have cool cars and decent articles once and awhile.


i just hate the stupid subscription papers in them.
example: december Honda Tuning magazine had 99 pages and 7 of those stupid subscription cards, WTF?

Honda tuning sucks. It was cool when I first picked up. In fact I think that was the first import mag I ever bought. Sport compact car used to be cool, but I haven't checked it out in a while. Turbo used to have cool cars, but again I haven't checked it out in a while. Most of them are forming a new type of expensive rice. Expensive rice? 350z, skylines, and what not with body kits and bling ----. The majority of their readers don't have that ----. Then there's hot rod mag. Not as good as it used to be since the format change, but I still buy it. I think the best ones now days are grass roots, and 4x4 mags. Most info for the normal guy.
