Yeah, the writing was on the wall 2 yrs ago when I suggested that past Tech articles should be sorted and made available for download at cost - like sheet music. The glum looks across the table told all...

Adding 2cents worth.

Agreed there is less being advertised, agree prices appear to be going up

An issue I have is the Price vs Quality.

Mostly really well overpriced poor examples up for sale at the moment.

I'm particularly Talking about the ones on Carsales ATM.

This. It's sad yet laughable at what some people want for the worst examples of a car.

It's the same for any sort after car. I had the chance to buy some beautiful 'cult' cars as a teenager and am now kicking myself because the prices have sky rocketed. The only car I have seen drop and not go back up in price is the evo6, no doubt one day it will be like its predecessors.

Word on the street ia hpi wont be around much longer at all, infact the last issue may have already been produced.

it wouldn't surprise me to find out zoom is going to follow it, compared to what they use to be the magazines aren't worth the money anymore. They are thinner then ever and losing the tech articles they just became boring

We should make this a seperate thread but from what i was told when i was getting my s15 featured in hpi they are condensing hot4s, zoom, hpi all into fast fours. So my car will now be featured in fast fours. Always wanted it in hpi but fast fours will do :)

I find the usa magazines are more technical content like super street and import tuner but that's just me

US import magazines have had a die-off in the past few years unfortunately. Sport Compact Car was excellent for tech articles and so was Modified Mag. Import Tuner was light on that but had lovely cover models lol. Turbo was kind of in-between. Now all of those are gone and we just have D-Sport and Super Street. D-Sport has picked up the slack though for technical articles and always has great stuff on the basics plus in-depth parts tests.

I subscribe to both since I don't want them dying too but the rise of the internet has been hard on print magazines.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
