You know, I subcribe to Motortrend, Car and Driver, and Road and Track, and when Im in the stores I always pick up the Hot Topic Mags of the Month. And Ive always paid special attention for a Rotary Specialty Magazine. I have never seen one. Does anyone know of one? If there isnt one There really should be, Especially a vintage rotary mag, I get irratable looking at modification adds In the backs of magazines that Dont Apply to my car.

Not stateside really. In Japan there is RX-7magazine which would be cool to have here. There use to be a publication called Rotary Review but I don't don't know if its around any more. The only copies I ever saw were in the mid 90's.

The only Stateside mag that usually carries quite a bit of rotary stuff is Grassroots Motorsports. They've done several rotary project cars over the years. The "other" forum has had a topic about starting a rotary mag, but nothing concrete.

If I could start a ROTARY Mag Id call it something like "RE Automotive" or "Eccentric Shaft".

But if it were an RX-7 specific mag, especially 1st Gen specific, Id call it something like "Two + Who" or " Rotary Drifter". But if it were for The vintage, Like R2s - 1st Gen 7s, Id Just call it "Rotary".

What ever it was it would have to be Rotary Specific, No cylinders.

Hey thats a good name, "No Cylinders" !

It would be pretty hard(read-impossible) to just create a full magazine from scratch. You'd have to figure out a heap of **** out before you even got to getting articles and stuff.



It would be cool though. I get "Fast Fours & Rotary" magazine.
