What is your fav Tuner mag?
 
Why do you like it and what do you enjoy reading most of the magazine, I like the tech articles and build ups of project cars.:bigtu:

I get electronic gaming monthly and discovery magazine lol. I hate car mags personally. They are about as bad as the show pinks.

SamS 02-12-2007 08:06 PM

I voted Modified since it's the only "tuner" magazine I have a subscription to. I picked up a Sport Compact Car mag a few weeks ago and it actually had some decent subjects and tech articles. I also have subscriptions to Grassroots Motorsports and Motorcyclist.

I like sport compact car...and grassroots motorsports.

MODIFIED is the only one I have really looked at so I voted that.

Trent 02-12-2007 08:55 PM

Sport Compact Car is the only "tuner" mag that i bother with.

Turbo and High Tech Performance. But 15 years ago, it sucks now-a-days. GRM is great but the rest are pretty much garbage.

Same here,it's the only one I spend my money on.

I picked up a Modified mag on a whim two years ago on a trip to Hawaii, and I was thorougly impressed. Lots of feature articles on cars that actually impressed me, like a 270rwhp S2000 and a CLEAN white Civic hatchback with 251fwhp. When all my magazine subscriptions come up for renewal this year, I'm switching my European Car to GRM and adding Modified to the list as well. I've been getting SCC for 2+ years now and every issue is great.

I won't even read a C&D if it's given to me. Horrible magazine.

RicanmiataRacer 02-12-2007 10:12 PM

I like import tuner because they did feature a build on the ms with a diy miata.

Fritch 02-12-2007 10:26 PM

all the vote choices suck ass, I currently still get SCC after all these years, but even its not as good anymore

SCC was pretty shitty last year, but the new editor seems to be turning things around now, the last few issues have been pretty good.

Sport Compact Car, and Grassroots Motorsports for me.. Both aren't on the list though :vash:

Import Tuner, Super Street, Modified, all get the :td: from me but they just aren't my thing.. SCC has about as much "bling" as I care to read about.

timhill78 02-12-2007 11:05 PM

Sport Compact Car is the only one that I buy. It seems to be getting better but way to short.

Trent 02-12-2007 11:08 PM

I can't stand the writing in Import Tuner. It's awful!

You know those ricers on forums that are all like "You;re car is stupid. I could beat you in my D-series. All the wrest of you can SOHC my d1ck. ahahaa.lolol.kekekek!!!11!!" ?

Yeah, apparently, when they grow up, they get jobs writing for Import Tuner.

airbrush1 02-12-2007 11:39 PM

lol.... I read most of em..... I have a horrible magazine habit!!!!!!!

every month I buy modified, SCC, D-sport, import tuner and super street..... I must have like 300 magazines in my room right now, and a bunch of em strewn about the house......

some months I leave out Import tuner and Super Street, because they annoy me sometimes..... But I always manage to find something in each mag that interests me....

sometimes I catch myself buying Honda Tuner for my brother, hoping he'll start buying parts or the RSX again..... I'll pick up Maxim or FHM sometimes too if the Chick on the cover is particularly hot.....

y8s 02-12-2007 11:39 PM

grm. still get SCC but after all their promises of "no more misspellings and thicker issues!" it's thin and poorly spelt.

plus grm is about the only magazine that doesn't try to pick a political side.

Philip 02-12-2007 11:54 PM

personally I'm all about DONK magazine.

SCC is the ONLY one i buy.

Newbsauce 02-13-2007 01:25 PM

I need to recommend HCI Magazine. Seriously, I have never read a more worthless import magazine in my entire life. Instead of listing relevant mods to cars, they generally spend time talking about how this guy ordered a distinct license plate from Japan. No joke they had a gold "JDM" civic hatch that they talked about his efforts to get a japanese sticker advertising a towing company for it. My FAVORITE quote was something like "now in order to make power, you need a combination of air and fuel". Seriously?! No wonder my car isn't going fast :( I better order a weapon R air intake.

airbrush1 02-13-2007 03:20 PM

I bring mad height yo!!!!!


those cars are worthless...... but some are very well done..... I dunno

I'd defenitely rock a 71' monte carlo on 24" wire wheels...... It'd have to be black candy over gold flake, white leather interior... and have a twin turbo LS1 or a 572 big block.... and be all tubbed out in the rear....

do kind of a gangsta pro street thing..... I think it'd be sick

I didn't know we had any african americans on the forum, cool.

airbrush1 02-13-2007 04:50 PM

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have NO IDEA how white I am :)!!!!!!!!

just a fan of lots of different styles of vehicle....

Only ones that really bother me are the form over function types..... sometimes I see styling cues I like, and think.... How could I adapt that into something cool.....

I forgot to mention in my above reply that I wouldn't jack the vehicle all high up in the air..... but rather do an Air ride suspension of some sort....

RicanmiataRacer 02-13-2007 04:58 PM

I want to drive a pinto .... I'll race your monte lol go pinto go....wait for it wait for it.....bam

Pitlab77 02-13-2007 06:42 PM

I think they are all horrible. it is a rehash of the same thing.

the only magazines I like now are not "tuner". I like grassroots motorsports, topgear

magnamx-5 02-13-2007 08:39 PM

Nah I do quality control and make sure your pages aren't smudged or have holes in them.

Trent 02-13-2007 09:09 PM

I like top gear mag, but i find the references are a little obscure sometimes for folks outside the UK.

kotomile 02-14-2007 05:24 PM

Speaking of the UK.. Max Power UK is a good buy from time to time..

airbrush1 02-14-2007 08:03 PM

yeah, cars and naked chicks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
