i dunno if its just me but lately no places have been selling HPI mags. all they have is some crappy australian ones called wheels and other boring stuff like that.

i mean cumon now who wants to read about boring slow cars....

and on the cover (of one of there issues) there claiming the awsome power of 190kw in the new mazda, thats not awsome, thats pretty slow for a twin turbo.

does anyone know any shops/places in melbourne that still have a strong supply of HPI or drift battle. greatly appriciate it!

Hpi is everywhere around here, i usually buy it

I found 2 other japanese mags whilst in sydney,

one is called Japanese Import Performance (UK magazine) and the other Sports compact (USA Magazine)

Both are just as good if not better than HPI

Ive never seen them in QLD before

sounds good, has anyone subscribed to the monthly thing?

is it worth getting that then getting them single from newsagents every month?

were do they sell the dvds?!?! wouldnt mind getting my hands on one of those =D

shit, why didnt i think of getting hot4s insted of "WHEELS" =[ ohwell i blew 7.95 on learning about a 190kw mazda and that was about it....apart from the guy thats making a ferrari that has 470kw[630hp] and 1200nm and weighing in at only 1230kg, thats pretty impressive. aparently coming out 2007... yeah ill wait to see that happen.... =

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
