Default Newest HCI Magazine

Anyone seen it yet? There's a full feature on the orange and white APC tib. Also, on the inside of the very last page (cover), there's an ad for APC, and they show a gold 3rd gen tib with a vented CF hood, black rims, and a custom tribal flame paint job. It looks like it's sportin a custom lip kit and sideskirts as well. Anyone know anything about that tib? Doesn't look too bad at all. smile.gif

Come on, this is the same lousy rag that claimed the Marck's Elantra was sporting a Mitsu motor, and all kinds of mods he didn't have.

The magazine is a rag, a complete waste of ink, paper and time.

I went one step beyond roasting HCI's editors for their screwups. I wrote to their ADVERTISERS. Let's let all of their advertisers know what horrible work they do. tongue.gif

At least they are willing to put Hyundai, Focuses, Cavs/Sunfires, etc in their pages. They are far from SCC and Import Tuner that believes all there is in the world is Honda and Acura. How many times can SCC rehash the same damn article about a B18 swap in a Civic? It gets a little old.

You must not have read SCC in the last 18 months. The V6 Tibby made their 8 Great rides section, they just reviewed it with 7 other cars under $20,000, and they have done numerous writeups on Neons, Cavy's and Sunfires. They even have a project NEON car they are working on (A SOHC even).

I'll take SCC and honest, accurate reporting and REAL techical sections over HCI's worthless, inaccurate reporting and "fluff" articles and photoshoots.

What good does it do to get a car in a magazine that has a **** reputation like HCI? nuthin. Just ask Marck.
