Fast Ford, Performance Ford **prepares for flaming :)

I am struggling to find decent ones here without cars with 20" chromies or cars from pre war. :D

I shall use this thread almost as a suggestion thread to go and scout out potential decent mags. :)

I'm into performance cars / race cars. I subscribe to Drift Battle and Austalian Muscle Cars. I love the history in old race cars and how they used to make cars go fast and drift battle because all of the cars in it are built for drifting on a track. As it's been said. 20" chromies and 10 TV screens doesn't do much for me. I wanna see them on the track.

Curious to know which magazine would be more effective for advertising

MOTOR is the best....but English.

High performance imports is the place if your thinking of ads.

Why do you have to be so far away from me?

Which area you from?

I am from campbellfield Ray.

Had a convo last week about an oil cooler installation.

Maybe i have more reason now to come and get this fixed too. :D

Look Ill make you a deal...Ill work with you to work on this car of mine. Same price as you would have charged normally.

This way I can stay the whole day and not have to catch a train anywhere.

:) Im afraid the gearbox issue would take few days.

Its pretty much HPI now Ray.

Speed was a great mag that unfortunately died :D

Joel might be able to give some other idea...

But if you wanna advertise, i'll come chat to ya about sponsorship :nyaanyaa:

Least you wont have 15yr old kids ringing you about getting some dose for thier mirage

Yeah, I definately want to do something with SAU.

I always find myself browsing HPI and wheels at borders in chaddy. HPI is better for imports obviously, but wheels is also good for everyday cars and so on. Depends on what you want to target - I found out about RE Customs from SAU.

how about other forums?

IMO the best mags out now are Zoom & HPI....i subscribe to both :D

drift battle can sometimes be good too...

agreed, i was feeling a bit angry that no-one had mentioned zoom. anyone hear that reads HPI, should most definately pick up a copy of zoom, so they can se what they are missing out on, its basically HPI, but more content relative to aus, with some of the best technical articles from anywhere. HPI and zoom i buy every issue (they have been probably the biggest part of my education), and quite a few drift battle, with some street machine/autosalon/speed(have quite a few since b4 it died)

anyone know why speed went under?

I really dont read any mags now save for wheels or motor

The HPI's/Zooms etc i've found to be mainly filled with ads and some very much inaccurate topics and feature cars.

I mean, reallistically you'd think the editors would get the article at least technically checked.

You should know when someone is bullsh|ting for an article... it certainly doesnt look so good when the print something thats pretty much impossible.

Its like me saying ive got 400rwkw from a pair of GT-SS.

Everyone knows its impossible. But hey, i'll give ya a dyno sheet that says so :sorcerer:

Yeah, I noticed that with Fast 4s and HPI, they slowly fill up with more ads and less content, but Wheels has always been quality

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
