Fabulous effort PoLaK and I'm very grateful. Now if I could just access your FTP port. It is currently disabled for 'security reasons'. Any chance of someone hosting this via HTTP?

I've made some additions to PoLaK's original post... you might find it easier to get the files now.. Will stick for a few days.

Nice going PoLaK... if somone wants to host on HTTP too... I'm sure we can add more URL's.. Infact if somone wants to create a small network of hosting sites so we can mirror stuff and spread load in future then PM me!

PoLaK, we could do with a list showing what order the unnumbered pages appear in the booklet.

Thanks BlueAdept, that helped a lot... :D

EDIT: PoLaK: GREAT JOB! I've now read the supplement and it's a fine thing. The section on cruising to Laguna Seca in particular. The quality of the images is first rate and much appreciated.

The part I found impressive was when they loaded up the RX-8 with 4 adults, and took it out on the track to see how the additional weight would affect handling.

They were impressed, as the characteristics remained the same, with slight understeer.

We have got one sweet ride heading our way boys & girls!

Oh, and I have added my avatar for this being my 100th post.

Thanks, guys. My copy arrived in the mail yesterday, but I sure appreciate your time and effort to make it available to the rest of us.

Once I get it all downloaded, I'll put it up on my FTP server too, to help share the load.

Edit: Done. Now also available here.

many thanks for that PoLaK!!

a co-worker let me borrow his copy to read this weekend (which i did...twice ) and i was dreading giving it back to him this morning!

this makes it a little easier to part with. although i'd still love my own hard copy. (not to beat a dead horse but has ANYBODY found this in stores yet?)

thanks again!

More importantly: why the heck haven't Mazda produced something even half as good and posted it to us? I suppose that now we've put money down we're a captive audience but you'd think SOME kind of halfways decent brochure could be produced.

i think because Mazda has paid a SUBSTANTIAL amount of money to get R&T to write up and print this (with all info obviously supplied by Mazda) for the North American market...

boy oh boy, i really liked the motorsports history: quite nice, i even learned a few things
...and how about those Star Mazda cars, eh???? :D!! wow, those're gonna kick some serious ***, with full tv coverage too :D!!
god, they look great for a junior class car... they sure did a great job developing it too, eh?? cheaper and faster than the Toyota Atlantics... sweeeeet. :D

I must say I'm surprised that they haven't sent it to we pre-ordered folks, but I understand that they have copies available for the asking at the Rev-It-Up events. If you can't or aren't attending one of those, you could drop a line to rx8orders and ask if they have any more available - that's how I got mine.

Great work chaps, scanner and mirrorers, plenty of meat to digest there. Mazda must have paid handsomely for this, very well produced. I wonder if this is the booklet that Mazda UK are hinting at sending to British pre-orderers...

In case it isn't, can someone help me complete the collection and scan/post page 41, "Page 41.jpg" is actually page 40 in disguise

The UK book has been described as hardback and about the development of the RX concept so I think it's different to this one.

By Jove, he's right. There's only 67 images instead of 68, and page 41 is indeed page 40.

I don't have a scanner, but if nobody else has come through by the time I get home, I'll take a digital picture of the real page 41 and add it to my site.
