December Import Tuner's Tuning Article

Has anyone read the article in Import Tuner's December 2007 edition called "Tune Into This?" It's a pretty decently written article and would be a great read for someone who knows nothing about tuning, or even a beginner tuner. They make some good points and there's quite a bit of good general information. I give it a

Nope... But if you'd like to take the time to scan it up somewhere else I would appreciate a good read.

Re: December Import Tuner's Tuning Article

Import Tuner made a good article?!? How the FUCK did that happen? Every Import Tuner I have ever seen has lead me to the conclusion that they should change their name to "RICE." I swear to god they seem to have the most unknowledgable staff ever.

Re: December Import Tuner's Tuning Article

Haha there are actually TWO decent articles in this one. One about beginner tuning, and one about counterfeit car parts. Pretty good reads. I dunno about scanning them up though, don't wanna get in trouble for something dumb like that.

Re: December Import Tuner's Tuning Article

Well yeah, its not legal to post it up here. Hence the reason I said scan it up to "somewhere else". lol As in right to a computer and then directly send it to each other.

Re: December Import Tuner's Tuning Article

i saw a 1g talon fwd turbo in that tunnig article once, a few years ago. it said base hp was 160. i was like wtffffff...

it said first best mod to do is put a BIG ASS EXHAUST out the back... not really, but they mention like "get an apexi 3inch exhaust, injen intake" and then the hp after those mods was 200 i think. i was like WOW!

then it mentioned cams, exhaust manifold, stage 2 turbo something, i dunno. Anywyas after they were done it was like 250 hp.

then they said put some stickers and a body kit...like a damn honda. dsm's are waaay out of import tuner's league

Re: December Import Tuner's Tuning Article

Well, I'm too poor to have subscriptions to Rice magazine (I mean, Import Tuner)... So I get to learn all of my mods from the guys here and VFAQ.
