RX Tuner Magazine - Set for Jan 04 release!

I just wanted to report to everyone that RX Tuner Magazine is still set for a Jan 04 release. I received the first mock of the magazine from Brian, our Director, and it's looking good! It's still not to late to subscribe and receive the January issue. But by the end of the week this week I would estimate, that if you wait your subscripton will start with the Feb 04 issue.

Here's a quick rundown of the content for the Jan issue:

New Products
Rotary News - Info about SpeedSource's RX-8's to campaign in Grand Am
Cover Story - the making of Canzoomers RX-8 ECU mod
Featured Car - Carlos' Track prepped FD
Readers Rides - 3 show quality cars and John Duarte's 10 second FD
How To - Coil-Over install on an RX-8
World Scene - A look at a top D1 Drift FD from Japan
Australian Scene - Intro to Improved Production Racing
Humor from Amur

And more ...

We're all extremely excited about finishing this up! All we're waiting on now is for Maurice (Canzoomer) to send me those pictures! :D Seriously, this thing should be to press end of this week, and out the door week after that.

The bulk of our content, at least for the first few months, will come from submissions. Until we have a budget to do on-location shoots and interviews. So if you think you might have something to add to the magazine worth reading, write me at ryan@rxtuner.com

If you have any questions about the magazine, ask here. This is your magazine.

To subscribe, goto www.rxtuner.com and click on Subscribe Now. Your credit card will NOT be billed until shippment.

Thanks for reading

If I am correct then it comes roughly to $1.83/copy for a one year subscription. I'm sure this is going to be cheaper than buying one off the shelf..

Cover price will be either $3.95 or $4.95

And I'm STILL waiting on Maurice for those pictures ... otherwise this thing would have went to press 2 weeks ago.

It's a bit hard double posting, but here's what I just said on www.rx7club.com

------------------------

I'm not in charge on the printing and mailing, that would be Brian. But the mag is done except for final proofing, and it'll go to press 1/13 ... printed and shipped by 1/16 or 1/19.

So no matter how sceptical you are, you'll get the first issue. It's done ... it looks fantastic! Brian is amazing at what he does. The first issue may be short, 24 - 32 pages, but it'll look and feel damn good.

Keep the support going. Even the most sceptical say you loose on the first issue. Well we didn't, we're in fact in the black for the first issue. So I'd say that puts us WAY ahead in the game. No Mazda support, just support from the Grassroots guys like every each and every one of you. Pat yourself on the back, the people that stepped up made this possible!

I'm almost teary eyed at what is about to be accomplished. #1 is done, #2 is the beginning of a roll ... and we're on it. Jump on and subscribe. This mage is going to be here as long as the rotary is alive!!!

The latter is not a problem.... Might have to go to cali to do some corner weighting.... grrrrrrrr, shops don't last for too long in vegas. Guess I'll just have to order more stuff to install.

ALWAYS glad to help out!

You're a big help my friend. As of all of the owners out there.

Take a lead from Lee, do something first, do it right, and you can be featured in the magazine.

Just want to wish you all the best with the mag. Unfortunately I still haven't gotten myself reemployed, so I won't be subscribing at this time, but when I do, I will.
