Anyone know of a 2.8 engine with turbo that will fit into a 82 Celica XXGT? Manual that is! Mail me if you do.

ok it was a hard one between Fast Fours and Performance Cars but I think Performance cars has a few more sexy beasts than the Fast Fours 8)

Perormance car = local NZ cars

fast fours = aussie wanna be racers with their Hyundai's due to all the bullshit aussie laws!

i enjoy Performance car as the articles apply to us and are relevant to NZers.

Autospeed is good for the Articles like Lizard said

cool DIY gadgtes :)

I used to buy Hot4s I have about 30 copies. Now I buy NZPC, because Im sick of the airbrushing bling bling shit in Hot4's. When the featured that Mitsu Lancer with the huge chrome mags, and airbrushed frogs I though stuff this crap and went out and bought NZPC.

Gotta be Zoom or Hot4's. NZ PC has gone down the drain as far as I'm concerned.

Fine, NZ is a small place but they keep on showing cars with body kits and bugger all else and to top it all off crap photos of the same thing (this months starlet l/r 3/4 twice).

Good articles do it for me every time.

As Lizard said......Autospeed - http://www.autospeed.com
Out of any major "magazine" I've read this is by far the most relevant for those looking to go fast. That said, its far more about performance than looks, generally, so it pays to read NZPC occasionally sometimes too :)

NZPC isnt as good as it used to be... they just fill up the mag with close up shots of brake lights and crap and dont even give pics of the engine (not always, but most of the time), Fast 4's and High performance imports are my chosen read. The only old school cars ive seen in any mag have been Dattos and 'tangs, has anyone seen a ke2x featured in a magazine ?

HPI rocks but so does NZPC home grown quality.

NZPC has gone down hill since Sean left as editor. It turned into a sister mag for NZ Car Audio after that and now it may as well be called NZ Performance Bodykits

I buy CCC (uk mag) deals with real performance on the track and the drag strip

cheers

NZPC car mag is crap compared to zoom and HPI in my opinion, the only thing it's got going for it is that it's local, thats why we buy it.
