I'm subscribed to autospeed.com (online mag), some very good articles in it, and without doubt more to come. Other than that I also get Option mags from japan via subscription.

I also buy HPI mags every month, just coz sometimes there's dull issues which aren't worth buying, and also because then I get to choose which bonus mag I want (usually at my local newsagent there's about 4 combinations of current isses and bonus mags). Although in the last 3 years I think I've only skipped about 6 issues (which I eventually got as bonus issues lol)

I used to be subscribed to Speed (via credit card points) and Motor (through Vodafone promotion).

Sad that Speed went down. Really enjoyed that magazine.

HPI, the occasional wheels, shame about Speed tho, it was a good magazine.

What ever replaced Speed, I think was 2dmax or shit like that was definitely not worth the 10 minutes of my life.

Also read the occasional autosalon but just way to much bling for my taste and Hot4s is something I just ingore full stop.

My fav is definitely HPI.

I buy both Wheels and Motor every month, but I haven't currently got a subscription (have had so in the past).  Best magazines on the market :(.

...I'm subscribed to autospeed.com...

Oh yeah, I get autospeed too, forgot aboot that! :lol:

Speed was the goods :)

Buy every issue of DB and HPI front Newsagent. Have always been quality.. Offload the free ones to mates.

Also ZOOM is good.. especially for tech

Used to get fast fours till I realized it was full of shit

Autosalon is also a waste of tree's

    • So on the power input to the link, from the ECCS relay, it is showing only 9.5v? But on the PFC, it gets full voltage (measured by the same multimeter?   If that is the case, it sounds like you've got a bit of an internal short starting to occur (hasn't gone to full short yeah) and likely you're seeing a decent current draw too with the Link on.   Is the Link under warranty? I'll be intrigued to hear what they say, especially if not under warranty.   Then I want to see inside it if Link don't have an economical/efficient approach to repair it for you!
    • Always seems like the right thing to do at the time.....  but most of us seem to regret it later on by many peoples posts. I certainly do with the much modded GTS-4 out of all the cars I have sold including my Merc CLK AMG55, 996 Turbo Porsche, Bmw 6, but I have kept my most loved, 1969 AMC Javelin and 82 Mits Starion I have passed on to my son recently for his teen son. Will be keeping the Audi TTRS for a while though!
    • Hi and welcome! Did you buy from Japan and import yourself or is it from elsewhere in Europe?
    • Well unfortunately after reviewing B-52 of the stagea manual and doing the following checks, it looks like it might be an ECU issue: Pins 25, 32, 116 and 124 have good earths (interestingly 10 and 19 don't have pins in the plug although the diagram says they should be earths Pins 80 and 109 have good battery voltage ECCS relay pins 1 and 3 have good battery voltage, and if I earth pin 2 (normally the ECU earth trigger to turn ECCS on) the relay activates and I get battery voltage at pins 67 and 72 as well. Also, when I plugged the old powerFC in it showed battery voltage on the hand controller, and started and ran the engine (poorly, since the AFM is no longer connected!) So, based on all that I'm thinking it is an internal issue in the ECU, I've contacted Link to see what they say
