I used to love Max Power in my teens. I constantly day dreamed about "maxing" my 1.2L Nova.
-
I remember that Project Rado well!
Love headline of "Fearsome 190bhp 16v Nova Mutant" on the Rado issue, made me lol.

Jesus that's a blast from the past! what's the date on those? I remember the Raddo it was far too overdone but hey it was the 90's what was it '96? The days when everyone had an escort van with RS turbo alloys, E co ts were everywhere as people robbed the R + S badges. Novas were king and fiesta 1.1 pop's were 1st cars! Peco big bores and cherry bombs, Chavs didn't exist and you were a boy racer.

i miss those days.....the cars were ace..
and nick nice one, im interested in the car..
i remember the other projects they did, the Pink escort RS 2000 was pretty mad...not a fan of the colour tho haha

95 for the skeete mk2 and 96 for the corrado.
Theres actually some pretty wicked feature cars in both of them, couple of cossies, dimma clio williams etc, oh and a corrado buying guide (expect to pay 6800 for an average g60...). The classifieds section is the best though, like you say, its all escort vans, golfs and a few minis.
And some of the wheel ads, back in the days when you could buy three spoke TSW's new, and the venom wasnt even out yet!
Its slightly worrying im reminicising over the days when i was 8 :shocked:
-
i run around in my swift which i still own, was on 15 ince tsw blades haha, then had the car sprayed in the popular porsche peppermint green...
not many people had swift gtis back then believe me, i also had a mint black mk 2 16v in 1997, cost 6k!
-
Boo yeah!

hahahaha i bought that max power copy when i was a teen! loved it tbh, still think it looks phat :cool: god i feel old now :sad:
-
So that twin VR Rallye put out more power at the rear than the front? Interesting to drive I would have thought!
Nick
-
the twin engined one was the dubsport one, was a wicked car that, max power had that exclusive before it went in any other mag..
i thought max power was great for ages, i have every one from start upto about 2000, they were very bad in the later years, not read it since...
still got them all tho, and all the fast car ones too, and some Revs ones haha
