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 an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
