[mech`s blue]

[rthy]

off-topic I know but pity about some of the bullshit they wrote in the article

[Benny]

And theres a 3 page spread on Vic Drift in this issue too! Be sure to check it out!

[sdm86]

the ke70 is sick on the vic pages lol

[marvis]

People actually read this magazine? I don't even look twice at it most times.

[monkae86]

its better than autosalon.

[ae86hachiroku]

Their both good mags.. totally different but I enjoy Autosalon a little bit more.. Has a few more interesting things to read.

HPI just seems to be very outdated and old news.

[obey wan boenny]

And the design/layout in HPI is kind of poo.

[kaibeecee]

there's a certain purple 86 that'll be appearing in the next HPI...

[johl]

autosalon used to be way better. i used to read almost every article and there was alot of cool shit in there. but this year i have only bought one cuz there is fuck all to read in it now. now i barely buy magazines

[orido]

bring back drift battle and that drift slut guy !!

[ae86=fun]

the editors of zoom and hpi were both former HOT4's staff ENOUGH SAID
i have stopped buying both magazines since the change happend .. the only thing that keeps those magazines alive is the articles buy dino dalle carbonare...
my 2 cents

that said i was going to buy that issue with the FNATZ workshop ae86

[skin]

hpi and drift battle were the only mags worth reading, only ones that feature decent cars

[marvis]

Autosalon FTW, been reader for years.

They are pissing me off with them saying oh yeah mag out on 17 and it comes out on the 25th or something. VERY annoying.

needs ma fix.

i pinned the ae86 on my wall at work :)

the issue with bretts sprinter is out now...interesting read i must say...

[Gilly]

internet killed magazines

i used to rely on magazines for build up news and event photos but we can get all that on line, magazine info is really dated, whihc was one of the reasons Drift Battle went under as quoted by the editor in the final issue.

didn't learn anything new about Brett's 86 that i already knew off here, which shows how informative a forum can be, ithere is no restriction on how much can be posted on the topic i guess, mags have a 3-4 page spread so they have to compact the info as much as they can to fit it all in and subsequentyl leave out a few good bits, or skim over important bits that i'd love to know more about!! it was a good read for joe public but i think for 86 aficionado's the info was lacking, mentioned briefly some cool things but didn't elaborate. Easily deserved another 2 pages just to explain why Brett altered what he altered and why. pics were sweet though :)

1st mag i bought since DB left the shelves, that mag was just a habitual buy anyway

Not to keen on that green hachi. Read the article and the only thing about it is the outside. Everything else is pretty non-exciting. I was a bit dissapointed with that. I like to pick up HPI and read about something nuts. Not just something that looks ok on the outside but nothing special on the inside. It is High Performance Imports isn't it?

Now that FNATZ trueno coupe, that was worth reading. Love that thing.

Pity no big poster of bretts car.

[awang]

from the poster the green 86 looks hot
