Car magazines, do you guys order any?

[Dazzla]

Do you guys order any car/tuner magazines? If so, which ones?

Thinking about ordering one, but last time I checked there's tons of ricey ones, and I want something abit better then Motor Trend or Autoweek

[CamryOnBronze]

The only one I get is Modified. It's kind of nice to be able to get it in the mailbox and not worry about sl00ts being all over the cover and my wife getting pissed off, haha. I like that they have a technical aspect of the magazine as well- kind of cool. For sure my favorite overall though.

I really like the writing style and paper quality of S3 Magazine too. I might be subscribing to that one in the near future as well- just note that it only comes out four times per year.

[Mesarina]

Modified too, whish sport compact and turbo & high tech magazine where still there...

[nissanfreak317]

I subscribed to Super Street back in 04, kinda grew out of the whole magazine thing though.

Whenever I feel out of touch I page through some at the drug store, then I realize how different things are now than they were, and how many things are still exactly the same.

[BustedS13]

between my roommate and i, road and track, car and driver, automobile, motor trend, and like three different Mustang magazines come to the house. i think the Mustang ones are the only ones either of us actually pay for, the rest were free subscriptions.

i used to get SCC, but then it died. used to read Super Skeet religiously back in high school.

[HyperTek]

yeah i actually like the real journalism mags like car&driver road and track automobile etc.. Currently i dont have any subs with any of them, but i tend to jump whenever a free sub offer comes along , good reading material.

[ki_JDM_ds]

Motor Trend since 1996
Nissan Sport
Nissan Mag (Japan Only)
Top Gear

[VROOOM]

Hot Rod
Chevy High Performance
Ol' Skool Rodz
Super Street

[BustedS13]

ol' skool rodz is awesome. also car kulture deluxe.

[punxva]

We usually get MODIFIED, DSport, and Drift Tengoku's when we can get out hands on them

[VROOOM]

ol' skool rodz is awesome. also car kulture deluxe.

i usually buy that one at the store. but yeah, those mags are awesome. especially the girls!!!

my dad and i are trying to build 1926 Model T. lots of inspiration in those mags

there is a motorcycle one like those too. i think its called the Horse

[daftphunk]

I like Modified. Super Street has some good issues here and there, but I do get Car & Driver.

[Karlitos]

I had IT back in the day but it wasnt worth it. I have like reading Dsport and their actual performance test help out. And Car and Driver by far my fav car mag.

[lawrenceyang]

used to have a two year subscription to super street that i got off ebay for like ten bucks...ended like two years ago lol

[zspeedrft]

Well said man, damn economy has magazines sucking these days.
I subscribed from 1998 - 2006 to Super Street, that was back when it was 300 plus pages though. I subscribed also to Import Tuner just for laughs from 2001 - 2004. I saved every issue, and my dad threw them away while I was at basic training. OUCH

you subscribed to SS when you were 11?

[tricky_ab]

I read Modified, Option/Option2 and DSport if the content is good. I've been reading Drift Tengoku monthly for a little while now.

[WheelSpin18]

F1 Racing.:werd:

[nismovspecgtr]

Yep, I saved up some money from helping my dad in the summer and then I sent the money in the mail, did it every two years for my
subscription.

[raz0rbladez909]

I love Grassroots Motorsports Magazine, just subscribed actually, been buying off the shelf for over a year now though, they have tons of info on legit track racing, rally, drifting, drag, auto-x everything car wise they have it in there. I also enjoy D Sport and Modified as well, and used to be a fan of SCC til it died but of all i'd say i enjoy GRM the most, they all make great bathroom reading material:w00t:

[florante rea]

d sport, modified, option and drift tengoku for me.

[Pigeon Crusher]

I love this mag its hard to find though:wtc:

super street. they had a s-chassis love thread. nuff said

[WanganRunner]

I have a G-Works subscription through a contact. It's a great mag if you're into nostalgia, Zokusha, etc.

I also get JNC, of course. Ben puts out a great product.

why not try a subscription throug amazon or something like that?

[TheWolf]

Race Engine Technology. Newest one shows a F1 motor splayed out on a table. Really good material. Kinda pricey

[S14DB]

why not try a subscription throug amazon or something like that?
It's a quarterly newsstand only. The builds in them are not that bad. I wouldn't follow them to a T cause like all mags They add sponsor parts that make no sense to the build.



I sub to Super Street because it has some good pictorials. The writing is horrible. My grammar isn't the best but I expect more from paid publications. Writers pad their articles with off topic crap that has nothing to do with the Car just to get column length. Really I get it cause it's like watching a train wreck sometimes. I'll read a well put together article then turn the page to the next one and it will be like someone let their 12yr old cousin write their article this month. Far form consistent.

Modified has kept their tech and article quality up and I am generally not disappointed.

D-Sport is what Super Street should be. Went from Drag-Sport to D-sport to take on more areas such as Drifting. Has good grip articles too. Great Photos and Tech articles. The DVD is always a bonus even though I don't like the Aussie host.

EuroTuner, European Car, Ect... I guess all the bandwagoners are going euro. Good all around mags but I feel the hype of the scene in them.

I get the MotorTrend, Car&Driver, Road&Track, Automobile, ect... When I can get a free one. A lot of bias depending of the mag(C&D is BMW or nothing). Seems more like sales brochures then magazines. Not complaining for free but would never pay for bias.

I like consumer reports car articles. I don't agree always with their "scoring" system because they are going strictly from value:dollar, car is transportation view. But, the articles are well written and you can see where they are coming from and make your own decision from the article if you ignore the Dots. No advertisers, no pandering.

I think the first magazine sub I bought with my own money was Popular Hot Rodding. I like it and Car Craft for the tech details they go into. Nice underbody shots.


I surf the magazine racks and buy anything that has a tech article that interests me.

[madd ocx]

i like project car, they arent as good as whenthey first came out, buy its still a good read.. i stopped reading super street a while ago, but i did get the nissan issue, i thought that was a good gesture by them.. i used to like turbo magazine, but thats no more..

[markyd0s]

I get Motor Trend I love that magazine. Its great pooping material.

[BURSTspeed]

Where are the best places to order subscriptions for car magazines cheaply? Other than Amazon.

[DataXUnknown]

Some how I still have Motor Trend for free. I got a free subscription from the OC Auto Show like two years ago and they just kept on giving them to me for free, lol.

[lainardisboss]

g works option and national geographic.

Very true they seem to have lost there focus. I still like to read it from time to time though nice mag for people that are starting out

[Okinawandrifter87]

I have a year subscription to Super Street and Import Tuner only due to the fact that I got a year for the both magazines for $10.97.

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

GRM if you ever really wanna drive your car on a track

[enigmadsm]

only car mag i ever subscribed to was DSport...no longer have the subscription, i don't feel like spending money on what i can read online for free

[Walperstyle]

Modified and Super Street. Modified is a lot better, super street...is...satisfactory at best.

I use to have sport compact car. Wish I had Turbo magazines.


One thing many of you tech guys fail to realize is that even a Honda Tuning magazine has some tech that relates to Nissan. All I4's are the same in a matter of speaking.

[zylvia213]

Out of all the others I get these are my favorite

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j288/bre240z/untitled.jpg

[DenkiMan!]

hmm no more love for import tuner? i subscribed to them this past year, they've stepped up their content from what they used to write about. there was actually some good info on s14 upgrades in this month's issue.

i think i may try switching to project car tuner or since i here alot - d-sport. i got my last it issue a couple weeks ago lol

[slider2828]

GSM FTMFW!!! They have some DIY tech articles and probably my next is Option2 for all your DIY stuff, then Drift Tengoku, then Option....

I am really not a fan of the US stuff... too much marketing and bolt on bla bla bla...

[WanganRunner]

I'm also working on collecting issues of Lightning Vintage Auto, but I don't think they print it new anymore. I've only got a few issues of it.

http://www.retroscenemag.com/image.axd?picture=2009%2F9%2Fmags-Image5.jpg


I used to collect Road&Ster when I had an NA6, but I sold all those.

[nismovspecgtr]

Anyone remember the little comic strip that used to be in Import Tuner? What happened to that? It was one of the best parts of Import Tuner imo

[surge s14]

ive been on super street for like 4 years and really kinda sucks now

thinnest magazine ever :(


im moving over to Dsport

[BoostSlideWayz]

i usually go to this book/magazine shop.. they carry mags from all over the world. Not to long ago i got some option mags from a mitsuwa store that sadly was closing for good and they had a good sale. i got like 4 option mags for i think 12 bucks.. and there twice as thick as usual mags.

http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss342/CustomGundam/Picture069.jpg

[ragnarok]

if you search on slickdeals they often have free subscriptions to 'car and driver' and 'road/track'. i have 1 year free subscriptions to both of them.

on another note i have maxim free subscription from there too...

just check occasionally under 'freebies' :)

[gzer750]

super street, import tuner, dsport, and super streetbike. 5finger discount.

[mr.booie]

grassroots motorsports
super street
road and track

[axiomatik]

Back in the 90's I started subscribing to Super Street, because it was the only import mag that ever talked about the 240sx. But I dropped that subscription long ago once I started getting all my info from forums.

I used to subscribe to Motor Trend because it was the most straight-forward mainstream car magazine. Just had articles on cars, no long-winded self-important opinion pieces by people I didn't care about. But that changed, and I started to find it boring.

I've been subscribing to Automobile for about 8 years or so. I prefer it to the rest, as I really enjoy the writing. I also enjoy the design analysis and auction coverage.

[ViciousCesar!]

the only one i'll read occasionally is Dsport. but i used to have subscriptions to eurotuner, mini truckin, super street and modified.

[RNGWLD]

I love this mag its hard to find though:wtc:
http://rikdaddy.com/albums/mypics/Project_Car_MK2.sized.jpg

PROJECT CAR FTMFW! I have all the issues :mephfawk:only car magazine I buy.
Personally I can't stand superstreet. "This is the story of a guy who gave 30 grand to a shop to build him this jdm tyte car!" meh.

Also drift tengoku...I love the magazines but I cant read them lol. Still great pictures and more interesting than the majority of magazines I see on the stands. I got a killer deal on 11 isues for only 40 dorraazz!

[turbobrick]

Only subscriptions I get are automobile, grassroots motorsport(get it free through nasa), and japanese nostalgic car

[stevenwhite1989]

I dont subscribe to any one mag, when i find myself at the grocery store or at wal mart, i just take a look, if one of the mags look good, then buy it. I make sure to def buy DSport when it has a DVD though, thats always a good thing.
