As some of you know I work for the company that produces Max Power.

After a huge re-design they are now looking for some standard looking high performance fords to feature.

If any of you are interested please reply and I will pass on details.

The one I can think of at the moment is Dave Moss (Yum), but i'm sure that others may be interested.


Thanks

Andy

 

Just had some more info....

"We do a really cool feature caleld the Grudge Match where we get two mates together with similar cars and they compete to win. These cars and club members could be perfect for it."

 

Andy, mines not exactly high power but its had a load of handling stuff done to it

 

mines fairly standard looking but with a 2.0l zetec transplant, will very soon have throttle bodies and be around 200bhp N/A

any good for ya?

 

If Dave (Yum) never upped his boost I would of suggested putting our cars together for a grudge match as they we're closely matched on the way home from Essex meet a few months ago... Will have to wait till I get me grey injectors now

415bhp havery gibbs conversion, light blues, 7.51/1 comp, 2wd wiring loom, separate charge cooler system, WRC head gasket, GGR S/S exhaust system, T34 hybrid turbo with .55ex housing, big wing baffled sump, windage tray, oil breather from both sides of the block, 2 separators and catch tank system, DPE straight cut 2nd and 3rd gearbox, six paddle clutch, 2wd rear beam and diff, AP 330mm new discs 4 pot front brakes, Bilstein coil over front shocks, koni adjustable rears, adjustable TCA's, EGT, fuel pressure and oil temp Defi gauges, SPA boost gauge, ACT gauge.

I'm sorry But how long has PF been doing that?

Huge Re-Design? maybe they should try something NEW????

 

Thanks for the replies guys..

Anyone interested could you email a rough spec including power figures and pics over to me

andrew.edmonds@emap.com


Fletch, Very nice looking cossie you have there... send your stuff over and we can see..
Paul, again send your spec etc over..
Fudgeass - Think they are after cossies, etc..

 

"Fletch, Very nice looking cossie you have there... send your stuff over and we can see"

Cheers mate Mail sent...

 

Then they are as narrow minded as every other bastard car magazine
I've got a 220 BHP jellymould, if anyone is interested.

P.S. I like the nastyracing Rover though

 

Come on people...

Quick car + Bling engine bay = Feature

 

Max Power has been redisigned???

Must of ran out of yank/foreign jobbies to photo (no offence to anyone on here!)

I've got the first issues of Max Power and Revs indoors, they both used to be good magazines with more features than adverts now alas its the other way around.

Rant Over.

 

Capri Sean, Not specifically Cossies.. I mean high powered cars... so higher up the range..

Send over pics and spec and will pass them on

 

lol


soz mate, i guess mine is just the same as the other 20 million escorts out there................

 

Max Power, C'mon they must ran outta Chav motors

 

ive got a standard ford capri 2.8i Special

 

Nothing like singleing out what you want is there!

 

Max muppets

 

lmao

 

PMSL

 

OHHHHHHHHH SO NOW YOU WANT STANDARD LOOKING HIGH POWERED FORDS! What's happened? Even chav's dont wanna feature they're cars in lax power anymore?

 

[/quote]Come on people...

Quick car + Bling engine bay = Feature

LOL ignore that...... my bro probly wont want his car is chav power anyhow

 

Sorry but Max POwer has gone so far down hill last few years don't think it's gonna pull different ppl back,not with the likes of PF,FF etc

 

mines is standard looking, but its been promised to dave @pf

 

If you don't want a feature then not a problem..

I'mm sorry they are offering time and money to pay for 2 cars to compte against each other...

they did a feature on the National day, and other shows. I believe one of the new guyss there has a cossie.

Slag them off all you like, but if they are willling to put themselves out to get you a feature then who cares.

Fudgeass, not slagging the car off mate.. send me over pics and spec and will forward them onto the guys...

If you have nothing constructive to say then don't bother

 

I say...........Nail, Hammer and Head. Sorted. End of.

 

The Max Power concept works pretty well, and it was and still is a popular magazine. I too have some much older copies that make good reading, with the right balance of tits, adverts, features, cars with modded engines and cars with tasteful bodykits. If the magazine is changing back to that it's a good thing, but RS and Cosworth fever needs to stop and someone look around at the rest of the Ford scene - putting Mr Fudgeass there down isn't really the way to start, especially without seeing his engine bay!!!

I'll forward my pics when I do for the rest of the mags, when I've fixed the big fuck off hole in the back of my car that some twat in a Peugeot put there this time last year

 

Max Power is a bucnh of fricken donkeys.

I sent them about 5 emails asking about the Severn Valley Motorsport Ka to see if they could tell me the date it was featured and not one of the arseholes had the decency to even reply...not even a "sorry we dont know".

 

Max Power has missed the boat. It used to be about the cars and the people but the last time I picked a copy up it was more of a porn mag than a car mag.

The mag will have its work cut out though if it wants to pull readers back from Performance Ford, Fast Ford

Saddly when you say you are into cars most people think Max Power and all the bad image and stereotypes that go with it

Hope they can sort the mag back to what it was a few years back and good them for trying

 

 

CapriSean, I have asked him for pics... I just asking for what I thought they wanted.. Sorrry if that came across wrongly..

Thye just asked for high powered cars, standardish and bling engine bays.

They are changing to alot more now They have to aim at thye target market, and unfortunately that has been huge bodykits and 1.1 engines..

Times are changing..

 

Andy, my mate and I both have moonstone 2wd saffs on 17s, both are very quick (mine is 350bhp, his should piss over 300)
We are also lazy bastards who cant be arsed to turn the wheel to steer, so we use the back end most of the time. Would be a laugh. I'll ask him.

 

I used to LOVE getting the new edition every month, top cars, top features, and always funny!

But Im going back to 1993-95 when it was a good magazine........
Why did it have to turn into half a porno mag?
If I wanted to see women Id by a porno mag, when I buy a car mag I want to see cars!

 

Thats not a re-design its going back to the way it started all those years ago.

Think it was issue 4 my mate did a grudge thing in his RWD Rally Fiesta with 5 other RWD converted rallycars cars.

NEVER bought a single issue since.

Why feature a car that has already been featured in other magazines tho' ?? That to me seems just a pointless "were running short of idea's excersize"

 

I didnt say that lol!

Serious, why wont anyone reply to my emails dude?

I sent them to a few different people so you couldnt say you didnt recieve them, whats the deal?

Could you maybe help me?

 

Andy, I think the problem is to a degree, that the likes of Max, Revs, Fastcar turned there back on the ford scene to a great degree, they went with the whole fast n furious Jap fasion, just as Performance Ford, and of late i'm pleased to say Fastford pulled there finger out, so now, anyone with a ford would rather see there car in what is regarded as a Proper FORD tuning mag, rather than a mag that simply follows what ever fashion is out there, I aint having a dig at you mate, we've been mates for a long time...

But I feel that maybe Max are now seeing that as ever fords are still where it's 'really' at and wanna bit of the pudding so to speak, but having a feature which is blatantly a copy of PF's grudge match and also askin for Cossies in particular aint gonna get the respect they want...

Fudgeass has spent a great deal of time on a set of Bike throttle bodies that when fitted will be well trick... this is the sort of thing i wanna see in mags, maybe it's time mags started taking note of whats going on out there rather than trying to follow what ever fashion is IN

Rant over!!

 

I agree, Fugeass' car would be something worth reading about. ITS DIFFERENT!
Its not just another small hatch with half a ton of fibreglass stuck to it and then painted in a bright colour.
Just asking for cossies pretty much sums it all up.

 

Grudge matches between similar modded, but DIFFERENT MAKES of car might be nice to see, and not ness huge powered models , get some regular street motors on there, ERST, FRST, Saxo, Civics, Pulsars, Corsa's etc etc going against each other.

I think it's abit to focused just wanting bling high powered motors, but on the other hand, I can't see the regular readers being interested in a clean, tastefully modded motor with reasonable power, it is Max Power after all, neons, big kits and Jap cars with 1k bhp, will take a while to break it to the Saxo boys that that monster bodykit and neon light hasn't given it the ability to whip a cossy into shape.

Get some the of the Ford range spanking the rivals down a track, that should builds some interest in the Blue oval and shake of there interest in humongus bodykits that look like an alien has fell on there bonnet.

 

Do you want Fast/Powerful Cossies or loads of Mudflaps & neons.
Perhaps you can suggest a challenger in a grudge match.

 

Give them a break guys! Maybe they wont beat PF or FF, BUT at least they have realised that corsa's and saxo's and the like with wide arch kits and gay flip paint are SHIT.
I'm in the target for max, i'm 21 years old!! But do i drive a 1.1 corsa with 19inch chrome rims and lexus lights? Do i fuck, i have a 350bhp saff. If they start making other guys my age realise they can have a decent car instead of a beancan with a 7inch exhaust then fair play.

 

all you lot wana go in max power

get a grip lads its a fookin shite mag for chav cruise wankers that got nothing better to do then hang around in maccys

i can see it now a grude match done down south end see front 1st one to the end
