No, you didn't miss anything.
The baby-faced sticker bandit got some more free parts for his RX-8 and babbled about the "whopping" 10 RWHP he picked up. I think his dyno sheet showed 175 lb-ft. of torque... wow.
Ryan wrote nearly the entire magazine. Again. And started off by bitching from his soapbox about how little money they're making from the magazine. Again. :crying:
Someone else said it best; just a couple of guys out to get a few free parts... and it shows. Wonder how long it will be before it folds.
There are always reports of people not recieving issues too. Atkins rotary gave me a free issue last year when I bought some side seals from them. There was some ECU mod for the RX8 that didn't do any good in that issue. Some pictures of cars at shows and the drag strip, a drift event, etc. I didn't see any tuning tips.

If there was much to read about I would have assumed it would have been created 20 years ago with the cars...

Polak. He is a mod on 8 club. I've had the honor of meeting him and all my internet assumptions held true.

Let's start an Illstreet magazine.
I want my own column where I may whine, bitch, moan, and call people names.

I was one of the first subscribers, just to help them get it off the ground, but then let my subscription lapse. After several mailed reminders, I stopped getting issues a couple months ago. Then the other day, an issue shows up in my mailbox... :)

The only one I ever opened up was the one with the Mazda courage on the cover. I flipped to the "girls of the revolution" (chicks that went to the rotary revolution i guess) and the chick on the right page. . Meghan. . .she looked like what $100T2 described in my sig. . . .one pick she sorta like puckered her lips, with like bright ass red lipstick (nevermind the fact that she is as pale as a KKK sheet). . . . i immediately dropped the book and started projectile vomitting. Leave it to me to pick out the chicks from a tuner mag, but COME ON, for the only rag of it's kind, at least get some of their stripper friends, or good looking friends to pose. And what's with taking pix of the chicks with their eyes closed? Is that the new sexy thing or some shit? I guess that chick from the rotary revolution. . .bah, i'm not even going to finish my smartassed comment. It was really that bad. . .
The content of the magazine you ask? Same stuff I see from Jimlab's post, just nowhere near as informative, detailed, or comical. Ok, so I guess it's not the same stuff I see from Jimbo's posts. More or less, the mundane posts from the other place, re-hashed.
