I was just wondering which magazines you guys subscribe to. Are there any good Honda magazines that focus more on older stuff like ours, or are we just stuck with Honda Tuning and things like that? I'm tired of reading about swaps and mods of new cars I'll never own dry.gif

Names of some good magazines would be greatly appreciated!

I get Grassroots Motorsports, since the early '90s. Autocross reviews of the 1st gen CRX were one reason I bought my 1st one (in 1994). As I recall, it was suggested as being competitive in Stock, Street Prepared, and Prepared classes.

These days, I get my subscription "free", with my NASA membership.

The Economist and The New Yorker. Plus we get the L.A. Times and Variety delivered every day. The wife gets Vanity Fair which is not too bad for a foophy girl's magazine.

Oh! car magazines. Autoweek and Car Craft (because I can remember when those car were new and they threw in a free wall clock that I needed for my garage).

I used to subscribe to Honda Tuning, but that magazine is disappearing before our eyes. RIP HT.

Yep, me too. I specifically remember one headline on the cover that said, "Go Fast Cheaply!" They featured a few different used cars that would be suitable for performance driving and prominently featured the 1st Gen CRX Si. I found my car within a few months after reading that article.

I was waxing metaphorically. HT is still in business, but just barely and I expect them to fold soon. Editorial content shrinks with every issue because ad sales are dwindling. And why are ad sales down? Because most consumers would rather buy a Chinese knock-off on eBay than pay full retail to the company that did all the R&D.

Sport Compact Car before they died... HT just sucks now. Every EK has a K20, Every EG has a K20, and the gutted interior/full cage look is apparantly the only way to go now...
