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,

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.

Edited by Mashrock

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

remember folks, DVD coming out next HPI issue

oh yeah....petition signed, definitely could use more good mags to help me survive the month

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
