Fast Fours Petition

Posted

Hello All,

This may come across as a little crazy but i'm sure there has to be a few chook cooker fans around these parts and this isn't only about rotaries, it's about the general content that Fast Fours magazine publishes today.

Many of you will agree that over the past few years Fast Fours magazine has gone downhill. The magazine is full of advertisements and usually, crap cars. Many people that i have spoken to want the magazine to go back to the way it was. Back in the old days when the cars were unique, there were less adverts and it seemed as though the editors of the magazine actually cared about the content.

We want this magazine to cater for more then just 13 year olds who have no clue about cars and that just want to see flashy paint jobs and chicks with big tits sprawled all over them.

So show your support and lets give a wake up call to Fast Fours magazine. We don't expect miracles, and we don't expect a change over night, but we expect better for our $10 every month!

Many thanks,

Adam. :blush:

p.s. Any comments can be forwarded to [email protected] if necessary. But you're better off showing your support on the petition.

unfortunately the only reason i see as good enough to make any changes to a magazine would be profit..

you can petition all you want but if the profits arnt falling then there would be no reason to change, for example.. you complain about ads but ads are the things that are making the magazine money.

the only reason why you liked fast fours back in the day is because it was focused to a younger age group, now that your older you dont like it as much.

Fortunately there are other magazines such HPI, Zoom etc that still focus alot on performance, i suggest you switch mags

Quote from your petition:

How many articles on old school rotors such as R100, RX2, RX3, RX4, 1300, 323's etc have there been compared to Skylines, Civics, Lancers etc?

Anything wrong with articles on Skylines? Good way to win friends on here champ :blush:

In all seriousness, I agree that there's way too much advertising in FF's, way too many ricebox's and not enough decent articles.

You want to know what I did?

I don't buy the mag anymore - quite simple really. Maybe you should consider this also.

I've signed your petition simply because you seem to be so passionate about it, and it's only worth a minute of my time. Quite frankly though I couldn't give two shits about the mag, simply because it's been crap for years, and I gave up on it a long long time ago! :blush:

Good luck!

Yeah for real the only interesting shit ever in this mag is whats going on with the wrc. and the other tiny sections of motor sport. the rest is just plastic and garbage. if i want to look at toy cars i walk outside and open my childhood toy box.

p.s. the only magazines i pick up theses days are hpi, or j tuner. they seem to be the only ones with constant decnet content.

J tuner seems pretty good, but I never actually bought one.....but deinitely HPI has all the goods on performance.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
