It used to be really good, now it can swing from decidedly average to quite good betweem issues

well I thought its alright, they could of be a bit more creative and introduce a bit more stuff to it and with some more pro topics, ie Supercharger issues, Compressor issues etc, but I guess its alright, especially when you read free in the bookstores, can't really complain..

come on Give them some credits.. they are up against a lot of competition, especially international one.

GO NZ Mags~!

Its car porn (aka pretty pictures) and the articles are way too basic, once you've read one article they all seem the same, just swap the turbo type, rotary porting, body kit and wheel types and theres your next issue.

It reads like its written for people that aren't even old enough to own a car, granted there is some good stuff but it gets old very quickly.

"Buying Power" = it costs about "this" much...to make it go faster do exhaust and filter, end.

I enjoy it... I picked up a new idea at the doctors and enjoyed that too :)
I do think it promotes a little too much of the thing called rice but It's good to see NZ cars and NZ people, although half the cars are owned by asian students. :?

Like that rx7 that was built in two weeks owned by asian students with way too much money.

I think it is a good read I am a subscriber and I read it when I am near the chick I like coz I have no balls to go and talk to her. I am a pussy. The articles are good and that hot teacher looks at it as well she knows some stuff about cars.

regarding the poll, its the only mag that I buy really, too lazy to look elsewhere on the shelf for something better, usually a good read...

hehe
now ill add my opinion....
rice faaar too much of it, and the tech info is at times shocking!!
one thing i remember is the guy asking about 1.5 and 2 way diffs... didnt know what that meant.... they told him there was 2 choices, a cusco or a locker, didnt answer hes question at all.
thats not the only thing beleive me there were more.. just i cant remember the exact details.

it used to be a good mag, had all sorts of cool cars in it. now it seems every car looks the same.... low on chromes. (i have an unhealthy dislike of chromes on jappas) too many looks but no go cars too....

ohwell guess im getting to old!

I definately not "hip" anymore :lol:

I recall a letter reply a while back that led me just a tad astray :? All mags seem to oversimplify things though, gotta cater for the farmers out there :wink: (That's a joke, I live on a farm)

NZPC kicks arse over FastFours,

Thats for sure,

instead saying "Australasias best blah blah magazine" it should say FastFours "how many crappy australian WRX's and mitsubishis can we fit between porno sms ads"!!!

It's too....."showy".....show cars *blurghhhh*

In saying that I couldn't actually do a better mag myself, BUT if I did it would have more go and less show!

i have never paid for it, i always score it off a friend whos mum subscribed to it for him, im sick of hondas with k&n filters and bi shiney mufflers, just got the race issue and that has some cool cars in it. the tech bores me coz they tell u to slap and pod and a 'zaust on then go for it and im not a fan of pods, its all i have to read so i read it tho, anyone who wants to bring out a better mag i promise to read that.
