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

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
