Hi,


My brother is coming from US, so he will buy me some car magazines, so any good new issues to buy, doesn't have to be related with Fit, but interesting. I was thinking of modified and super street and maybe sport compact. Any ideas.

 

Honda tuning is one I really liked.

 

I don't like it, as few pages and nothing special.

 

I have really enjoyed the following: Honda Tuning - Import - Sport Compact - Modified. Of course Road and Track is a standard -

Cat :x

 

Honda Tuning has its moments though. The issue I have has a 4 page write up on a SSM Fit and also a Fit K20 Swap How To. I found it quite interesting.

I am losing faith in Sport Compact Car. The last few issues have been rather thin.

 

well to be honest, it depends on what you want out of the mag. if your looking for great tech and featured cars, i would say dsport and sport compact. def honda tuning for its direct market and application possibly to you. super street is good for snitzengiggles and the cars are usually phenomenal but a lot of dick and fart jokes. what the hell is hyphy anyway. ive been reading most of the source interlink mags and modified pre and post merger have been consistent and a good all around mag. hci is good but i wouldn't get it. most def top three honda tuning, scc, dsport. import tuner is consistent and will be a good go to mag for the fourth position. my two cents. ibe been reading all these mags plus euro since like 98. id give you all my mags but i gave them to my mechanic. good luck and happy tuning

 

i would say most of the source interlink mags have thinned out since the sale from primedia. i would love to take a pic and show you how fast they have thinned out. i would also throw turbo in there too. kind of thin but great tech.

 

Thanks man.

 

on this subject has anyone noticed any magazines that highlite the FIT like siphon used to ??

 

i recommend Sport Compact Car, yeah its thinned out but i say its got the highest quality writeups and reviews of any magazine out there, as well as Car and Driver<my second fave. Those are prolly my two favorites Motor Trend also isn't bad but they complain about weird stuff and review kind of like normal people want not car enthusiasts, anyone understand what i just said? Other than SCC i think most tuning magazines are just basically ricer porn:)

 

o.O Get the new car and driver. The one with the 3 corvettes on it. It has an article on the new fit and an article on the HKS Turbo Fit. Pretty good articles. Get one.

 

nice.....did anyone see the new one with the 2011 Honda S3000??

not sure if it was car & driver or road & track

 

It was Road and Track. IT didn't really say much, but the S3000 looks sweet. The S2000 is nice, but its aging.

 

I am losing faith in Sport Compact Car. The last few issues have been rather thin.

 

Honda Tuning and Super Street. Also have him buy you a grip of Best Motoring International DVDs.

 

Honda Tuning, Super Street, Option, Option 2, Carboy, Drift Tengoku, Modified Mag

 

i don't think the S2000 styling will ever get old
it's simply gorgeous to look at

i just hope they don't F up the new S

i already have high hopes on the new NSX

 

import tuner and super street are morons. they aer competing in the Castrol Super Tuner challenge (i think thats what it's called) and eurotuner is using an audi engine. They said euro's have no idea how to make power and proceeded to bring up Bugatti and Lamborghini both of which are OWNED by Volkswagen Audi's owner. What a bunch of idiots all they do is rice out cars for a living. Rant over.

Also SCC still does the best technical write ups and actually showcases real cars that get driven hard, such as the R34 they featured which had a very scraped up front lip. I'd say that that's AWESOME!

 

what do you expect from writers that haven't even attended college. i think Super St. has gotten better over the last few years as far as content goes.

the surprising thing is,.....without mentioning names... alot of these writers grew up in so. pas. most didn't even have a fixed up car in high school, but talk like they did in the mag.

 

I recommend 0-60 mag and Grassroots Motorsports mag. Great magazines, filled with a ton of useful info, great articles, great pictures, etc. They aren't specialized to just one area of the car world either. They don't come out monthly either, I feel like with a lot of the specialized magazines that come out every month are very repetitive and get boring after a while.
