I paid £32 inc delivery for both RX-7 Magazine #30 and Hyper Rev Vol 91 - RX-7 FD and FC issue.
It\'s a glorious magazine, bigger than A4 produced on shiney material, 100 pages of colour plus the usual black and white ads.  A real coffee table publication!

I\'ve already got the Hyper Revs vol 91 and it is great, even though its all in Japanese of course.
I cant read the web page you\'ve got their Chris. Did you order the magazine off that?

You really need to install Japanese fonts on your PC Adam! :spank

You\'ll cry if you see the cover car :Tongue1 :Tongue1

RX-7 magazine comes out 7th Feb, May, Aug and Nov.

My November issue should be on it\'s way soon! Got my Option delivered today :Thumbsup!

[Ada7]

You\'ll have to come over one day and help me sort it out so i can subcribe to it.
Have looked though my Vol91 of Revs and your car is in it, but in Black and white. Think its your car anyway

Adam

[Kieron]

Yeah no worries mate, I can do that for you, Japan centre will sort out the subscription for you. it\'s easier to do as they are based in England, just pay a little more for it.

I can get my Mate Seto to sort you one out from Japan and post it over every time with mine :Thumbs-up

The car is in quite alot of them, Ben sent me a few pictures of it the other day that he found in Hyper Revs and RX-7.

Was it this advert?



We totally stole this thread :Talking1

[Ada7]

Yeh thats it mate.

Now, back to the V-mounts

Yep, there is an "International Order" button near the bottom of the left colum, basically ends up with a form you print and fax over.
I like Kieron\'s idea of subscribing through JapCentre, will investigate.

I\'m still not sold on V-Mounts for a street car.  What is the heat soak like when sitting in traffic?  But does it really matter if the IC is getting warmed by the radiator when you are off boost?  Does the deflector help prevent that anyway?  In the HKS diagram install there is another radiator looking device in the setup?  Is this the AC rad or something?

There are plenty to choose from and lots of installs in this country now, I\'ve never heard anyone say they wished they\'d have gone/stayed front mount after going v-mount.

I was having problems with my cooling with a FMIC, and this was on the road.  I dont think you can ever have enough cooling. On track the V Mount is great!

[TonyC]

Atomic, was it engine coolant or charge temperature you were having troubles with when using the FMIC?

couple of pics of my v-mount done at spec-r unbelive job well worth the money

lol, pip says that if mine starts running sub 18 degrees again that i will need to blank some of it off, cause that is a bit too cold.  might do it for the winter

Very nice looking set-up What was the damage?

Dragon/Ross, do you have any idea what the pressure drop is on your v-mount kit? Im looking for a good set-up for the twins, looking to take them as high as poss so pressure drop is a factor I need to consider.

I was looking at one of the ASP/M2 SMIC intercoolers, very good cooling and pressure drop of around 1.1 psi, well the way the large one is mounted its getting towards a v-mount set up. Im very keen on the UK V-mount kits though, and will also work out cheaper

I definately think the Greddy elbow needs chopping though, and fuse box moving a bit if needed, would eliminate an un-necessary bend, which would help with the pressure (every little helps!) and look neat too.

:eek

HKS one which is considered the best is less than £2000!

I think Leighton had more done than just a V-mount.
