Ok, you asked for it, you got it... my first take at an SL-i.net "member's rides" magazine.

For those of you who didn't catch these, this post is a quick catch up of the articles I did, from earliest to most recent. Hope this becomes a sticky!

Later!

Bone stock? Mine is too! :lol: (i.e. no real aftermarket enhancements, maybe aftermarket brake pads)

My ambition is to cover as many member rides here as I can, and also cover events too. Lord willing, you guys haven't seen anything yet.

Btw you live in ALASKA?! Wow... that's definitely Subaru country.

And yes, I like rallying and performance driving as well. Anyone who can drive a car over 100 miles an hour off-road in all weather conditions gets my approval any day of the week.

More to come, people... Lord willing. Stay tuned.

You are good with words and page layout and probably good at snapping just the right pics for the page

Good stuff, didn't you request some info from me a while back? I just now remembered about it after seeing this thread bumped. If you are making an article on my car you might want to wait a month or two because I just had the whole thing sprayed one color, just got some more exterior mods and its gonna go on the dyno in August for some tuning and some numbers so I'll have a bunch more pertinent info for you by the middle of August.

Thanks to everyone that came along and witnessed the summer article explosion. Special thanks go out to all the willing members who had their rides showcased.

I am going to take a break for a little while. It's been great writing these articles, and as long as my passion for Subarus continues, I certainly don't plan on stopping my interest in them, or writing about them.

Enjoy the rest of your summer, and see you again once the leaves start changing colors!

To the SL-i.net Members Ride Magazine readers:

Thank you for faithfully reading through the articles on these pages. I recently took a break to step back and prepare for the next series of articles.

It has been a pleasure and privilege writing for all of you, and I've got quite a bunch of articles yet to write, God willing. Unfortunately, I've been a bit delayed in the writing, due to several events (the details don't need to be discussed here, but let's just say life was hard for the last 2 weeks).

Thanks for sticking it out with me during these weeks. Hopefully the next articles will make up for my absence.

*SPOILER ALERT* *DON'T READ WHAT'S NEXT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW!*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*

*

Ok. I figure I owe it to you to hint at what's coming up.

In the next series of reviews, you'll undoubtedly be seeing some heavy hitters, and moderator rides. Hopefully everything will still be getting cranked out in the classy, grassroots, grammar-in-your-face style that is at home here at SL-i.net. (I'll even revisit some of my first article targets.)

Thank you for letting me write your articles. Go ahead, get your posts in order for the next few days to week or so. Soon, things will pick back up again...

...and you'll have no choice but to come back and read through again. And again. And again. And again... :grin:

See you in a bit...

Hey evolegacy,

Usually the magazine picks member rides out at random, but there have been a few exceptions here and there.

impreza gc8: thanks for the heads up! SL-i MBR will probably be featuring your ride in the next cycle or two

Everyone else:

Thank you for patiently waiting some more. I apologize, as things have been a lot more hectic than planned and I was trying a few things out. After the next few magazines are out, I think there will be a consistency in the format.

And yes, I know that the post will show September as the month of the magazine. I am debating whether or not to go to a bi-monthly format, so I could use that as an excuse. Anyway, without further ado, the next edition!

What is this I see next to Reason's car?

A 03 Legacy wagon with a Baja Turbo bumper and Hood or is that a Baja itself?

That was DeadlyDave's Baja Turbo, covered in an earlier issue of SLI MBR. Unfortunately involved in an accident. Check out DD's Baja thread for more information.

SL-i MBR update:

After the September/October issue, I took a brief break. I'll probably repeat the formula for the November/December issue. I've got more cars to review, and another opportunity to tighten up the magazine and make it sing just a little bit more.

Stay tuned (...or stay stock if you want :grin:)...

Okay. Many of you know by now that whenever SL-i MBR gets made, it seeks out and requests cars for the magazine. However, in the interest of time and making sure the magazine is made for February, we are taking a marked departure.

For the first time ever, SL-i Members Rides Magazine is looking for cars... the first 4 members to send me a PM will be featured in February. So, without further ado, we are waiting... :)

Just addin' something here. The article about the Black Beast is fantastic! Love the detail and the enthusiasm...you captured the heart of the beast perfectly. But no article can do this car justice. I've had the pleasure of driving it a number of times. Four words. BLOWS. YOUR. BRAIN. UP.

Man I didn't even realise a magazine was a feature here...stoked! It's all a fantastic read, and really heartening stuff. Guys, you've done amazing work on this. MUST. READ. MOAR.

If you need any help in the future with layouts, by the way, hit me up. I'm a graphic designer, yes yes, but I specialise in magazine layout and advertisement. I'd love to do what I can to make 'zines like this hit the spot!

To my loyal SL-i MBR readers:

Recent events have forced my hand and have me going in a direction I was thinking about going in for a long time. As much as I have enjoyed the pursuit of this magazine as a free endeavor, things are beginning to go in a certain direction:

* Beginning to run out of room in my Photobucket account
* Finances are scary tight
* I am interested in finding out where this can go.

I've always been into interesting stuff (programming/challenges/driving/videogaming), but I've had this annoying habit of stopping, of quitting, of backing off just before stuff took off. I've messed up already a few times in life, missing out on opportunities which could have turned out big.

I'm digging in this time.

I've already sent email to Subaru of America to get started figuring out what is legally involved with using their name for a magazine. I'm gathering a list of potential sponsors for a magazine. I'm also thinking up some thoughts for the holiday issue (which, if all goes well, should be QUITE worth the wait :grin: ).

Not to worry, though... free issues should continue, most likely well into the new year. I'm not going to spring some half-baked idea on people and ask them to pay for it. Will it be as grassroots as when I first started? It's possible (even probable).

But it's also going to be more polished. (Well, hopefully at least a little.)

I'm working on a new magazine. But before I continue, just one question.

What would YOU like to see in the future magazine? What have you come to enjoy from SL-i MBR, and what do you want to see now?

God bless us all as I try. If I have a green light on this, then God willing, I'm going to give people a Subaru magazine once again. (Regardless of what anyone else says.)

Back to the lab again...

Hey Ryu,

I know what you mean, I been in positions like that before where I had a chance to do something big and dropped the ball hard. But when you do find another opportunity you need to dig in and grasp it while any and all ideas are still fresh in your mind. -my words words of encouragement

I can definitely see you doing something great with this magazine, and maybe making money off of it if that is your goal. Just thinking of an idea such as making a calendar/ picture book type thing, where in the end you want to sell it to members as a finished completed project. To get there I would suggest you keep doing what your doing, but in a way less. Make the free articles that you would put up shorter so that you can tease the reader to want to find out more, read more and therefore buy your calendar. Photos can ethier grab some's attention in seconds or it can distract them away, everyone isnt a aspiring photographer so not everyone's pictures are to die for. Getting in touch with Photographers (especially aspiring ones as they will shoot for free just so their name is out there) that are near the people you are doing a rides thing on. Get them to shoot thier cars, different spots and boom, nice pictures that will please and adding that polish to your calendar. Go for sponsors such as Group N and 4zero1 motorsports, small companies who sell parts for legacys as those are the ones that you will get the quickest reply from. You can ask for minor parts or goods, use them as prizes attract more members to your magazine. Check local printing places that do print calendars and see if they would want a section in the print for advertising (if so great and they might give you a discount off or print them for close to free) If they dont want to do that then compare them with other print shops that do that same, being a smart shopper always helps get you the best price, ask if they match other printing places and beat thier price. If getting the forefront for the money is tight, you can always do a group buy on sl-i and other legacy forums (legacygt.com, nasioc, legacycentral) have collect a down payment to insure their spot for a calendar and to ensure you that you can get them printed.

And there you go a business plan summed up within a paragraph hahaha, I was just writing from my head, that what you would like from it, love reading your mag and i bet others do too, and to have a hardcopy of something I'd pay for one!

Matty2Hotty
12-03-2010, 02:34 AM
Hit that one... Calendar would be GREAT for 2011. I'm pretty sure you could get a ton of members not just this forum but others to buy one cause i know i would(especially if my b-day month was my car LOL). Keep up the great work... a great subaru DIY mod or typical maint. service page step by step would be a good idea.

Wow, how did I miss this!?!?

That was awesome!! You do great work, I always wanted to be a photojournalist for an automotive magazine.

I'm honored though, front page even..thanks!

edit:: If you do go public with a magazine and need an extra hand or photographer..let me know! haha

ryu_haneda
12-04-2010, 07:35 PM
If I am truly going to go full steam with this idea, it will not be a for-real magazine for another year most likely (at least). Based on what I'm taking in, there is a lot of homework I will be doing: fleshing out the whole game plan for the for-pay magazine, lots and lots of research, and among other things, I am going to have to get my butt out there and start going to car shows!!!

And of course, you, the fellow reader, carry a lot of power because you decide, on the basic level, whether whatever Subaru magazine is in existence will fail or flourish. I literally won't be able to make money unless you buy the mag. Literally.

I grew up reading Super Street, Import Tuner, and Sport Compact Car. I wish I would have archived SCC issues (instead of merely throwing them out or donating them away) now that they are no more. Import Tuner (as far as I know) is gone, and Super Street is still around - looks like it redesigned/reinvented itself (or just changed); I remember looking through page after page of photos of cars when I used to read it regularly (back in college in '98, '99, and 2000). The magazine industry looks like it's changed.

As a result, there are lots of naysayers telling me stuff like "don't bother" or "the Subaru segment is too small" or "a magazine sounds like a great idea if the internet never existed."

Thank the Lord I'm not listening to them. :grin:

Man I love this thread and Ryu, keep up the great work. The write ups for the members rides are awesome, the aftermarket sales guys that you interview are also very informative and help us enthusiasts to find local people to help us out with our passion / obsession with our Subaru cars. I've been around for only a couple months on this forum and as Predent said : "I'm starting to get the mod bug". You guys all have great cars and I'm looking forward to maybe meeting up with some of you at some point and have at last a couple upgrades to show.

Cheers

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS THE NEXT ARTICLE?!?!

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2009/07/article16pt6-1.jpg
Stay tuned... (yes, I know it said June 2009 at the bottom of these. I have now caught up to July.)

1) Where did you get that sweet silver and blue tube? How much do those run??
2) How often does the SL-i mag come out and where can I get a full pdf of it?

How often does the SL-i mag come out and where can I get a full pdf of it?

Thanks for your question. As of yet, I haven't switched over to a PDF version of the mag. (Although it's a long-term project that I'll start considering.) All the issues posted up in this thread are the magazine to date.

Very cool, I enjoyed going through all of those mags and seeing what is available out there. I have an 'almost stock' 96 legacy wagon l that I wish to take from ghetto, to ghetto fabulous, to just straight up fabulous (and if there is an appropriate thread to post these updates as I go I will post all the previous stuff I did/had done, as well as photos if I have photos of the work available).

My icon is a camera phone version (best I can get currently) of what I ended up doing with my fan belt shrouds and the custom fabricated radiator shroud because Advance Auto gave me the wrong sized radiator (also painted the fans and fan shrouds too).

Let me know which one you like by voting on it... yes, I know I didn't put up an official voter deal so it's going to be a post your number type deal, and the winning design will become a part of the issue.

(What? You thought you would just be lazy and wait for the next issue to come out? Get off your rear and post here!)

P.S. Naturally, image work is based off of images/trademarks copyright SL-i.net, but the ideas and derivative works are copyright Mrs. Ryu Haneda :grin: .... and if you want a similar pic done to your car, let us know and my wife can crank a pic out for you!

Hi geckoboy86, sorry for not replying sooner.

I don't think I'll be able to make it, although I'm possibly going to be planning a meet down in my neck of the woods for October. It will be an event possibly for the Get Well Gabby Foundation (http://getwellgabby.org) to raise awareness for childhood cancer.

I love reading through these.

Have you ever thought about putting them into a digital download form (such as for iPad, iPhone, and eReaders)? I don't know what all you would have to do to publish them as magazines, but if you could, it is something I would definitely love to take with me, and I wouldn't mind paying for them as well. Just a thought.

1. To all the SL-i MBR faithful (and those whom I reviewed): thank you again for your continued support.
2. To all the companies I've interviewed: hope you are getting even more business.
3. To all the newcomers: hope you've enjoyed these past issues.

...because it's time to amp it up.

I'm about to begin one of the biggest SL-i adventures I've ever undergone. And as usual, you guys will get to benefit first.

Coming soon... :)

HHHEEEYYYY project "Deja Vu" in the Mag. aright! It's awesome to have our rides showcased like this and spoken so highly of. This Mag. builds self confidence and motivation for SLI members everywhere. Keep up the hard work it is very much appreciated.

As we all know, these rides take a lot of love and passion to build or rebuild and it's nice to see someone put in the effort and time to show just how much work goes into these projects.

I like the weekly idea....Thanks again ryu_haneda!

ryu_haneda

So... ahem... I have done zero to get the magazine back up and running in the past 4 years. But with a new year already underway and the world still dealing with health issues... maybe there's never been a better time.

For starters, does anyone still read the old issues?

There was a sweet spot for me between 2010 and 2011/2012 where things were kinda cooking, and I even got a little fancy with some of the covers. Had things stayed exactly the way they were, maybe the issue covers would really have come into their own.

Around 2013, I really started putting brain time in at my job. I started having a lot less mental room for creativity (unfortunately), so I took my mags down to a "one car per week, one mag per week" approach. After that, I just kept getting busier and busier. So that kinda explains my out (explains, yes... justifies? Maaaybe).

But seriously, if anyone here still looks in, say hey!

03-19-2021, 06:46 PM
I do, and maybe you re-starting the magazine would bring some traffic back to SL-i. You faded out just as I joined so it would be cool to see you up and running again.

mike-tracy
03-20-2021, 06:37 PM
I say this with love, but the era of forums is over, and restarting a magazine isn't going to bring it back. We just went 2 weeks without a single post on this site...

ryu_haneda
01-29-2022, 12:04 AM
There *is* truth in what you said. Probably some time around 2015 or 2016, I stopped looking at online forums and started watching live-streamed content (tv shows, videogame playthroughs, YouTube Gaming became a thing).

With that said... I'm grateful people still come around here. And a part of me still holds out hope of maybe... just maybe... getting back into some kind of a gathering mode or a magazine could be a thing.

My current job has me working my brain hard on a regular, so creative is a hard mode for me to flex. But I still like Subarus a lot.

So... the task now is to find a way to get back to the fold.

I came close to losing my hosted content (fortunately I saved the old mags). So, a close call... but the beat rolls on.
