I really need to get some of these mags. A friend let my borrow some of his Option Mags and I was like a kid in a candy store. Couldn't stop looking with amazement. It was just full of parts / upgrades / everything we want on our cars I might have to head to China Town and see what I can find.

kawasakirider Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Pretty funny that everyone's recommending HPI... I went through my huge stack of mags (mostly comprised of freerider mx, zoo and other mx mags) because I knew I had a few car mags with skylines in them. I found a HPI skyline special, the Z tune GTR is so gorgeous..... Found another mag that was a performance imports also, has a nice 33 in it.

bozodos Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 the main problem with HPI is that if you buy regularly, and you get teh 3 for one issues all the time, you end up with 3 copies of the same backissues @_@ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/326671-favourite-car-magazines/page/2/#findComment-5336368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
