Did anyone catch the new show, Hi-Rev Tuners on the Speed Channel last night. I caught the very last and it appears to be solely for the sport compact market.
Hi-Rev Tuners - An exciting new concept in motorsports created to feature the sports compact world with coverage from the biggest events and races around the country. The hottest cars and products from turbochargers to body kits will be featured along with product demonstrations, "how-to" installations, dyno competitions, and more on the lifestyle scene of the sports compact market. Watch for the debut of this exciting new program on SPEED Channel Sunday May 26!
Edit: Sorry, shows at 10:30 Eastern on Sunday nights.

Don't think there are any replays but it appears to be a weekly now, last night was the first showing.

i saw the show (hi-rev tuners), its better than the other import show they had on the speed channel. although the interviewer seem to be reading off the cue cards, blah blah blah... but they seem to cover some better looking cars than the other show. weird thing is, instead of covering the best honda, they have a 10minute section for the ford focus..... and they say there going to do that for the other shows. i guess the shows better than nothing, and the 2 girl interviewers are pretty hot!

i must have miss'd that part, i think i flip the channel for a minute and then came back.
but what was really sick, was they interview the guy from apc, and they were talking about there new products... light up exhaust tips....:puke: i give it a month or 2 before i see one on the street... the light up windshield washer thingys are everywhere now. before long the light up things will be options when people buy car from the dealer. gross.

I read about it in my car mags but I don't have Speed Vision (SUCKS) If any of you guys know of a cable provider that has Speed Vision on their line up please fill me in!!! AS my Condo is not facing the right direction for Satalite. (SUCKS MORE) My neighbors direct across from me have Dish's on there Balcony's and I have to look at them everytime I leave my house (SUCKS THE WORST) I feel like they are taunting me. One of these nights when I have my HALO get togethers I am gonna get my boy's paintball gun and shoot them all.
By the way I live in Maryland for those to lazy to look to the left of the post.

I thought it was about time but the same cameraman that did the other import show did this one. I could tell because he kep zooming in and out and going form side to side making me dizzy almost. I hate that when they have a 12 yr old rolling film and he does something stupid like that. Just f*cking roll the film and let me get a good look at the stuff instead of giving me eplileptic fits......

Good Concept for show but I still prefer Horsepower TV.
Reason?
1) No stupid action photography of a simple car, with rediculous dizzying shots
2) focus is on performance with appearance as a side note
3) southern accent
4) go much deeper in terms of technical aspects not "look heres a civic with sparkly paint, cool"
Can we not get an Import version of Horsepower TV?
Who the F' is buying these lightpowered muffler tips????
Who the crap cares about Breakdancing?????

Please join me in emailing them.
Lets give them some pointers please people. Among mine are:
No more rediculous APC products that put lights on every conceivable part of the car.
More genuine tech, more interviews with real racers.
Most importantly product reviews on different cars...

Wow, Something I might like to watch on the Speed channel. I hate Rupert Murdock, I haven't seen the Motorola Cup (or whatever it's called now), ALMS, or F1 in ages ever since they have been showing that damn Nascar TV. Oh and I'm also pissed about how they changed Wings and Water Wednesdays to ****ing Winston Cup Wednesdays. bUt anyways my ranting is over and yes I agree that the editing ans special effects of the old show were very hard to follow. It made it difficult to see what the car had and looked like. I'm with infintegts on the idea that they shuld make it more like Horsepower TV. I want useful technical tips, not a TV show with a bunch of ads within the show. Oh well it's better than nothing. BTW what is their e-mail address?

The only thing that sucks is there is LOTS of hillbillies who watch nascar. I agree it sucks but it's the second highest rated sporting event next to football.
I love the Rally racing but never see it anymore except for the rare Sat morning I am up before noon.
