Hey guys,

Look i just got the weekly autospeed newsletter and browsing through the new articles, there looked like there is some half decent stuff to read. Now considering that it now costs money (bastards) to see these articles, do u think the quality of articles and usefulness is justified to spend my hard earned money?

IS anyone else a subscriber? And what are your thoughts on it? Ive read a few older articles which wer utter crap. I just dont want to pay then start reading these things and realise what a waste of money.

Look forward to your replies

THanks

Dean

I'm a subscriber. I think there's a lot of crap there, mainly all the new car reviews, but there's the occassional good technical article (and that's really the only reason I'm there).

For about 80 cents per week, its good value (certainly compared to the newstand variety, at $2 per week)

some of the technical articles (like the temp sender and knock detection kits) have been useful

having access to the archives is better value than plonking the money for a car mag at the newstand.

but new subscribers do not have access to the entire archives anymore, there are different pricing schemes as of last week. existing subscribers still get access to everything

I only went to their site to get some parts... a bit expensive but their service is good and goods usually arrives within 1 week, and they call you if something went wrong or gonna b delayed...

For performance info... I read HPI, and of course, the SAU...

SAU rocks!!!!!! yeah!!!!

I like Autospeed, obviously reviews of new corallas aren't too interesting, but there's some good performance/race stuff, and they're not afraid to piss of manufacturers in their articles.

There was a classic article when they were invited to the Tickford factory to check it out, and then panned what they saw :lol: I don't think they get given cars by Ford anymore

I'm a subscriber. I agree with Duncan in that at least when they review any car, a product or a workshop they tell you exactly how it is. Some of the stuff is boring as, but that goes with all mags. I mean HPI do jap car comparisons with locally made cars, which are completely biased.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
