If there's a Japanese community anywhere near you, try the grocery store. No kidding. In a major city, a longshot would be one of those newsstands that carries daily newspapers from around the world.

It is available on-line at a Japanese bookstore (in Japan). The magazine is 950Yen and shipping is 900Yen for 500grams, or 1800Yen for 1kg.

Unfortunately the Bookstore web-shopping page is only in Japanese, so I suggest you send them an e-mail if you are interested.

Their English HP address is here

The magazine name and product number is :
RX-8 Sports Magazine
ISBN:4891072482

This is a switched on, international bookstore, catering for many languages, so you shouldn't have any problems.

Hope this helps...

You can not read most of it, but it has lots of great pics and all the headings are in English. You know what is going on in all of the pics. I bought the magazine a month ago. There is a Japanese book store a couple of blocks from my house, but I live just outside of Japantown.

I paid $13 and I think so. The price is steep, but I find something nice to have. It is 114 pages and has a lot of content covering everything from bodykits, suspension, interior, exhaust, and turbo and superchargers from just about every manufacturer. It has given me a good idea on what parts are available and what I want to do.

Of course it would be much nicer if I could actually read it.

Why would you buy it if you don;t uinderstand it... I learnt Japanese because I want to understand it... firstly when I was young the Japanese RPG games. Now the Japanese mag and perheps Japanese women :D

I have a glance at the book and there are so much about the RX8 that covers nowhere else. With independent review. Nice.

For ordering, I use the website sited above. But the local Japanese store will help you to get it. News Publishing is the biggest in Japan and this book can be found ANYWARE in Japan. No problem.

I am waiting mine coming in my mailbox ..... ^^"
