Can anyone recommend me a good car magazine to read/subscribe to? anything that would boost my knowledge on tuner cars (evo,sti,rx-7,gtr etc..)

i know this forum is the ultimate source when it comes to an evo but i want to have atleast some basic tuning knowledge like most of you guys do when it comes to cars so i can join/chime in on some of the discussions here and learn even more as i come along.

thanks

 

super street, import tuner just to name a few....car and driver blah blah...thats what i read lol

 

Import Tuner, Road and Track, Euro Tuner and MLE (<--- coolest of them all)

 

Sport Compact Car

 

I loved reading Sport Compact Car but they are out the door. I also read Super Street though. Pretty good rag...

 

Modified....end of conversation.

I would've said SCC as well but they folded. March is their last issue.

 

Word, I forgot about Modified...

 

oh yea Modified mag i totally forgot also lmao

 

Grassroots Motorsports FTW.

 

From an Evo/import perspective, two of the better magazines were Sport Compact Car and Turbo & High-Tech Performance, both of which have been closed by their publisher within the last month or two. Both my subscriptions were converted over to Modified magazine - haven't seen an issue yet, so I can't comment on it, but I already noticed a distressingly high number of girls on the website, which tells me it'll probably be more flash than substance. I ditched Super Street several years ago because it became way too much about body kits and ICE, not enough about performance.

Interestingly enough, most of the magazines mentioned in this thread have/had the same publisher - Source Interlink. It would not surprise me if they shut down a few more of their magazines due to the economy and the faltering performance aftermarket. If you have subscriptions to these, beware the dreaded postcard from Palm Coast, FL.

 

import tuner is riced out, the only REAL street mag is sport compact car

 

I used to subscribe to them, but I always got the sense they were more about budget builds - using 10+ year-old cars and scrounging around in junk yards for parts. That's not the way I want to acquire my AMS/Buschur/WORKS/etc. parts.

Have they changed at all? I might take them up on the free issue offer to test them out.

 

they do have alot of motorsports related articles, news, scores and product reviews.

 

Fixed it for you.



Thanks - I'm going to get a free copy.
