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.

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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
