It just separates the wheat from the chaff. With our other magazines, only about 10% of our total subscriber base originates from forums. The rest are through newsstand, sample programs and word of mouth. It certainly feels like places such as this are ginormous, but when it comes down to it, they're really just a small piece of the whole, though absolutely essential.
Thanks for the support everyone!

Will it only central around Rotary cars? I've seen the Miata magazine at newstands before. Have you thought of teeing up with Mazda? Have them work out subscription for its dealerships? I think seeing a Rotary-centric magazine at the waiting area or client lounge would not only increase the visibility of the rotary engine, but shows the clients that there is an active RX-owner community in the world. All the best!

Those are my concerns as well, the rotary is a bit of a niche engine. Do we know how many Mazda Sport subscribers are RX/MX-5/mainstream owners? I figured the majority were either MX-5 or Protege/3/6 owners.
As for rotary-centric articles, I would like to see more racing history articles. The specifics/interviews with the people involved in the first Daytona GTU win, and if possible, the Japanese side of racing like RX-3s beating Skylines, Cosmo at Martahon de la Route, etc.

Here it is: our 2008 RX-8 40th Anniversary edition project car. (w00t for the current round of rebates on 2008 models!)
We have a good relationship with Mazda already. That relationship will continue under the new name.

I've had a few people ask me over the past few days if I'm the same Ryan that was behind RX Tuner Magazine. I feel it's important to emphasize that I am not, nor has our magazine any relation to that now defunct title. We now return to this thread, already in progress...

Due to only having 4 issues per year i sure hope the newly acquired RX-8 gets MULTIPLE upgrades w/ reviews per issue. Excited to see how it turns out!
