Dr. Chin in Honda Tuning

[The REAL nsxtasy]

Congratulations to Wei-Shen Chin, president of the NSX Club of America and founder of Chin Motorsports, for the four-page article about him and his NSX in the new July issue of Honda Tuning magazine!

This is the issue with the white RSX on the cover, and is on newsstands and in bookstores now. Turn to page 50 for the article, entitled "Mid-Ship Mambo". There are some nice photos of Wei-Shen and his ride, taken at Sebring. The mods are well described, and due mention is made of Chin Motorsports - just about everything except any mention of his role in NSXCA. (I guess they found ballroom dancing made for sexier copy.)

Ken.. have you noticed your old name post total has dropped to 9989. I guess maybe some of the old messages were deleted?? Whats up with that?

Anyway.. congrats to Wei-Shen. I don't know why they didn't mention NSXCA though. Seems like it should be a pretty key point.

I met Wei-Shen at Homestead two years ago before I was an owner. Real nice guy. I'll try to find that mag.

I have only conversed with him via email but has always been very helpful.

Dr. Chin helped brought me back from the dark side (NSX to 996 and back to NSX) and introduced me to the Barnman who changed my rotors to cross drilled ones and tuned-up my NSX. I can't explain it, but it's faster now (not psychologic)! He also recommended the subdivision to live in Florida where I now reside. He is ALWAYS very kind and helpful.

Here is a list of his modifications (from his site).
