April/May 2012

Spring is finally in the air and a new edition of PASMAG is once again on newsstands. We set the bar high with our epic 100th issue, but the vibe around the office is we high-jump leaped that bar. Event season has begun and we’ve got some great coverage, our features are off the hook and we’ve previewed the best gadgets and car care products available. Oh, and we have the most epic models ever gracing our cover.

Our features centre on a nasty little 1250 HP 35RX Nissan GTR, we’ve appropriately titled, ‘Track Appeal.’ I’d say.

We’ve managed to round up coverage from Tokyo Auto Salon, a couple of Import Face-Off’s, Street Life Tour and the KMS Drifting Championship, among others.

The Project Remix 2.0 coverage continues with a stellar audio upgrade from the Best Buy, Geeksquad beefs up the tech section, three fresh buyer’s guides as well as Test Reports on new products from Arc Audio, Helix and True Sound.

Sit back and enjoy the read!

THE EVENT

CES is not only a nerd’s wet dream; it’s where we tuners can find the latest in car gadgetry… I guess what I’m trying to say is, it’s where we can all nerd out - hard.

This Canadian princess is back on the pages of PASMAG and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

ON THE BECH

Gary Springgay and the boys at Cogent Audio Labs have put the latest and greatest products to the test, no BS! This time ‘round we get the low-down on the Helix P-DSP Processor, the Arc Audio Black Series 6.3 Component Speakers and the True Sound/Dominations CS4 Component Speakers.

TECH

The Accord from our friends at Honda gets a full audio upgrade from our ‘Geeksquad’ friends at Best Buy. We’ve also got a great Moto IQ piece on their Project 370Z.

Keep your eyes on the prize!
