Topic: end of an era-intelligent tuning magazine gone.......

[d3buttz]

if all you guys on here like honda bikes,im sure you like japanese cars too.  today i read the last issue of Sport Compact Car.  The corporate s*itheads with spray-on hair at Primedia cut the mag.  no way in hell im gonna open up an issue of import tuner for an interesting article about "racing" carbon subwoofer boxes or "how to lambo door your civic".

those guys were all car nuts/writers with mechanical engineering backrounds who wrote about realworld economical ways to improve our 4-door rockets.  i hope Dave coleman(tech-guru) and Jay Chen(editor) get another mag going soon....
  its like losing this SOHC forum and being left with "2-wheel tuner", ill go puke chrome gxr stunt bars and LED air cleaners now........................

Wow. I was a subscriber long ago. Haven't picked one up in forever though. Too bad though, they were a notch above most of the alternatives... Might I suggest grassroots motorsports? Not quite the same target audience, but very good stuff.

Man, I started reading that mag about 13 years ago; then it had lots of VW and Sentra stuff.

What a shame as that was one of the good ones.
