Banzai and JP. JP has taken the lead recently, T-25 article was much better than Banzai's.

Banzai is poor, bought it a few times, never again, Jap Performance not too bad.. sometimes. I subscribe to evo, & then sometimes thats not right good either.
I am bloody fussy aren`t I.

Motorsport News, every week for the past 20 years or so.

What do you do with your old mags? It seems a shame to bin `em.

banzai is the worst magazine I have ever read.. take the geforce rolling road day they covered for instance - I told the nonce exactly what I planned to do.. and in the rag he stated "..he should also think hard about doing xxxx to improved his power" as though it was their suggestion - tossers

Jap performance, although having trouble finding the latest issue, maybe I should take "n one"s advice and stop looking.

Jap Performance that my husband gets, and my sister who used to work in Japan subscribed to Car Boy for us (a japanese tuning mag, very good tech features and lots of product thats new, helps that she can read Japanese )
