I'm another who misses Speed, but have since moved on to HPI and I've gotta say that I'm liking it. I always thought it was a little too expensive in the past (yeah I know that it's only $1 more expensive than Speed was) but since they are giving bonus mags with every issue I couldn't say no and now I'm hooked. Didn't know that they were giving away different combinations of free mags though! I'll have to look harder next time. Every now and then I'll also buy Autosalon but haven't in ages.

I used to have a sub to Speed and would buy HPI and Motor every now and then.

Now read HPI on and off and subed to Motor.

Although it was said that Speed's committment was invested into 2DMAX, I have never bought it. I looked one and though it was rubbish. I wounder how many people there were like me?

I think we can all agree that 2DMAX is rubbish, haven't met anyone on these forums or otherwise that actually likes it. I wonder where they got their market research from that made the publishers believe that 2DMAX would sell better than Speed? Maybe they thought there was already enough serious/dedicated motoring magazines around (like Motor) so they got rid of Speed and tried make a mag that would appeal to a younger/more casual audience?

I know that some people found that Speed was more than a little up themselves and that the technical content was sometimes rubbish but it surely was still better than 2DMAX.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
