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.

      My BMW 335i

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
