Latest Hpi Issue.. Just A Heads Up

[Keegs]

another one for speed. i'd rather look at the old issues of speed than buy any of the mags on sale at the moment.

then again, I see why they binned it in favour of quality publications like "2DMAX". :esarcasm:

agreed Speed ftw...it was a quality magazine with (most of the time) decent cars from the street and track.

I think we should all write a letter to the editor of HPI portraying our disgust that they think our SCC06 was "old news" and not original enough. The highest number of imports are Skylines, so why don't they listen to their largest group?

They are clutching at straws if they think most of us can afford half the cars they display in the mag lately. I loved the story on the Evo IX MR, but I cannot afford one and will continue to mod my Skyline.

This magazine needs to hear from us in bulk and realize that their largest fan-base is not happy.

My HPI subscription ceased and will not be renewed. I will get the latest one purely for a couple of personal reasons.

I still get Zoom as its the closest to Speed...I miss that mag...

I also buy whichever mag has a car in it that I have detailed....wall of fame sort of thing, should be another one shortly...

yeah the MR 9 was a good read. its amazing how they are putting out 260kw with ecu upgrade from a 2L wher as STi are still behind..

Auto salon Mag is gay...pick up the current issue and read the page that describes what it is like to drive a turbo.....It was the gayest thing I have ever read....and I read the script for broke back mountain

:laughing-smiley-014:

I buy it when I am traveling or stuck somewhere near a newsagent for hours.

I think I might get a Zoom subbie, always loved the tech articles.

Drift battle... what a waste of a magazine. I don't care if they relate drift to imports so much, it's a shitty sport imo.

Only time I should be seeing drift is in rally... -_-`

drift battle is my favourite mag too, mainly because ther cars arent top dollar blang blang machines like the HPI cover cars, and they also have alot more cheap DIY articles like flaring guards or installing a hydo handbrake. HPI tech articles are either how to not run too much boost or a thiny disguised otomoto catalouge. I still like it but its no where near as good as it used to be. the majorety of the jap feature cars are top level ones, whcih is good but seeing ones that youve never seen before is alot better.

anyone else noticed that HPI seem to be liking R31s alot lately? 3 issues in a row there have been import 2 doors (none of which are from the r31 club) yet the author always seems to talk down the r31 saying how old and dated it is, but how the owner has done such a spectaculor job of bringing it into the new century by putting some ghey rims on it or painting the dashboard marble pattern.

I like zoom but really havent ever got around to getting a sunscription lol. maybe ill get that instead of hpi next time..
