Hi all! New book on RX8 out in Taka Kinokuniya!

P.S. Does anyone here read Japanese?

if you were aftering parts go for hyper rev, it has more extensive selections.

funbook is more about reviews from tuners and owners.
contributions by owners about their likes/dislikes on rx8s.
plus some articles on track circuits and mods on interior & audio.

How long has it been out?
Anyway I have ordered one copy from a local Japan mag shop in Melbourne.

Exciting...

What else do you guy read?

I read RX-7 magazine and REVspeed mag (occasionally), since I can order them via news-pub.com directly.

I also subscribe Option magazine via the local Japanese mag shop, but I found it too tacky and I might switch my subscription to REVspeed.

Guys,

Just letting you know that amazon.jp ships the books too.

http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/...782239-6795452

Taka, don't know if you know about this great tool for learning Japanese or not but I use it to help reading Kanji. It only works in Firefox browser and is a plugin. Check out the following link. http://rikaixul.mozdev.org/index.html. Its not a translation tool like babelfish but it highlights kanji on a page and gives you the readings on mouseover. Way cool.

Cheers,

Tom.
