Japanese automotive magazines are well known throughout the world, but rarely easily accessible. We thought we'd give you a glimpse of the top magazines such as Option, Option 2, G-Works, VIP Style and a few others for March 2010.
We can supply subscriptions for many of the Japanese magazines, please have a look on the website in our magazine category for pricing details.
Just a few of the magazines for March 2010, with Tokyo Auto Salon 2010 a few weeks prior dominated the pages of most magazines.
Option Magazine
Option Magazine is the magazine that started it all, founded by D1GP creator Daijiro Inada and is the first magazine we always pick up every month! Lots of Tokyo Auto Salon 2010 coverage of course for March, the first real issue after the main event in Japan.
Option 2 Magazine
Option 2 is a favourite and must buy every month, with more focus on parts and DIY, great for making sure we keep up with all the latest part developments.
Lancer Evo
Lancer Evo Magazine is released quarterly and is extremely thorough, think Hyper Rev for the Evo, but as a magazine. Includes chapters on the latest parts and how to tune different areas of the Evo from aero to engine to electronics. Came with a free neck warmer too!
VIP Style
We regularly pick up VIP Style even though we don't offer that many VIP parts, for the photos. Some interesting new parts introduced at Tokyo Auto Salon and as usual, some dedicated owners building amazing cars.
Hachiroku Spirit
Focuses entirely on the Hachiroku, with all the new details on the FT86 from Toyota and Subaru, including the latest on the G's edition at TAS 2010. Also includes lots of cool historic photos and details and interviews with many of the top names in Japanese tuning, including Keiichi Tsuchiya.
G-Works
G-Works is an amazing magazine for the nostalgic owner, great photos, lots of DIY info and news on the latest parts. Even if you can't read it, its more than worth the 580 Yen just to look at the photos.
Official Tokyo Auto Salon 2010 Magazine
The Official Book for Tokyo Auto Salon 2010 from Option Magazine, a fantastic coffee table book, it includes details on all of the almost 600 vehicles! Features on the FT86 of course and the various areas at the show. If you want to see what was at TAS2010, this is your best option by far!
