Hey is it just me or has Speed Magazine disappeared from the face of the Earth? I haven't been able to find it for like over 2 months now, and I've looked in several news agencies that used to stock it. What gives?  :rolleyes:

Speed magazine ceased production months ago

NOOOOO! (In case you couldn't tell, I acually liked this magazine!) Well at least I wasn't subscribed to it, and ACP didn't send me copies of something like Cleo to make up for the rest of my subscription. Just like the last time one of my subscriptions ran out. What happened, they went bankrupt or something?

Never really read it before. What was wrong with it? I just never bought it because it looked too (how to put this...) um... well, if a magazine cover could protray an overly large ego and love of ones self, that is the impression i got from that magazine. It had an air of "i am the best magazine in the world i am awesome" so i never bought it.

So what's the story? Why does no one like it?

EDIT: I think it took itself too seriously...

i subscriped half year and for 4 months just received one issue.and some days ago i received a letter said i can choose motor, 4x4 or ralph...

Motor is always a good read, so go for that. Last issue had reviews of BMW M5, Aston Martin Vantage, Pagani Zonda and many other great cars. They love their exotics.

Thats cause it's target audiance was older. It was for people that can afford GTR's and mod them to decent levels. unlike hot 4's and other excel moding publications....

It's not that it took itself seriously or thought they were the best mag out, it was just aimed at a more mature audiance.... plus i found there to be plenty of humor in there... see back page comparisons...

EDIT: and as with the post above mine.... my g/f actualy loved reading it too as it wasn't filled with half naked chicks... we have internet for that people!!! :lol:

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
