Mook Collections

Everyone has a collection of magazines. Mine keeps growing usually for $1 each at second hand stores. Magazine Books in Japan are known as Mooks. The have a semi hard cover so are a little bit closer to reference items than your regular magazine.

Don't forget they are all in Japanese.


HYPER REV
This is the FD3s Bible. Almost every part available has been documented over 7 volumes from 1992 ish. It came out about every two years.

Rotary BROS
Rotary Bros sprang up after the demise of RX7-Magazine which by the end had more RX8 content than RX7. This one is no different but it seems to have a good balance.

ROTARY BROS (ロータリー ブロス) Vol.01 (Motor Magazine Mook)
Volume 1 2010

ROTARY BROS. Vol.2 (Motor Magazine Mook)
Volume 2 2010

Specials
There have been many dedicated special books over the years too. I recomment RE-Amemiya Racing as a must have also.

MAZDA RX-7 (タツミムック STREET PERFECT TUNING)

This is similar to hyper rev.

RE雨宮RACING (SAN-EI MOOK)
REAmemiya Racing.

Brochures
You simply pick these up in Japan. I don't know how I got soo many. Auto Salon maybe. Online is better.


Hope you enjoyed this guide.
