I'm subscribed to autospeed.com (online mag), some very good articles in it, and without doubt more to come. Other than that I also get Option mags from japan via subscription.

I also buy HPI mags every month, just coz sometimes there's dull issues which aren't worth buying, and also because then I get to choose which bonus mag I want (usually at my local newsagent there's about 4 combinations of current isses and bonus mags). Although in the last 3 years I think I've only skipped about 6 issues (which I eventually got as bonus issues lol)

HPI, the occasional wheels, shame about Speed tho, it was a good magazine.

What ever replaced Speed, I think was 2dmax or shit like that was definitely not worth the 10 minutes of my life.

Also read the occasional autosalon but just way to much bling for my taste and Hot4s is something I just ingore full stop.

My fav is definitely HPI.

I buy both Wheels and Motor every month, but I haven't currently got a subscription (have had so in the past).  Best magazines on the market :(.

...I'm subscribed to autospeed.com...

Oh yeah, I get autospeed too, forgot aboot that! :lol:

Speed was the goods :)

Buy every issue of DB and HPI front Newsagent. Have always been quality.. Offload the free ones to mates.

Also ZOOM is good.. especially for tech

Used to get fast fours till I realized it was full of shit

Autosalon is also a waste of tree's

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
