Hey Guys, my car and article appeared in this month's issue of Practical Performance Car. Hope you enjoy it! (you can also see it at jimchungblog.com which may be easier to read).

 

CON-GRATS Jim!!!! How cool is this? (1) they appreciate our cars (2) they appreciate YOUR car. Another forum member had his SA in Hemmings last year and they swore him to secrecy about it for months. You too? So what is the Back Story of how the all came to pass?
Thanks for the Link to your site too, tho I could not really do much to pop "up" the scale of the article to easily read it
Great the Brits decided to use YOUR Turbo converted FB rather than feature the Elford Turbo RXs that were available there back in the day...
AND-
did you do the photography too? I see by your Blog you do motorsports, etc photog too. Kudos either way on the presentation.

Very cool site link you posted with your photography tricks, and also a great detail on the 1985 RX7 in question. Great job keeping that beauty on the road,

 

Thanks Stu & LongDuck! I just pitched the story to several magazines and Practical Performance Car were receptive, the Editor actually changed none of the text which was surprising since I also wanted the piece to be educational to non rotorheads.
I did do the photography as well. You can view or download a higher resolution pdf from my Droplink site which will make it much easier to read and also better to appreciate the images.

Excellent. Grabbed the PDF, really good read, great photos.

 

Likewise, thx for the LINK. now I can enjoy at my leisure
So you pitched, wrote, photo'd the whole article? Nice. Does this mag even have STAFF? You seem to be doing everything! Talk about creative control...

Jim, deine Liebe zu diesem Dreh steckt in jedem Wort. Du bist ein wahrer Enthusiast. Herzlichen Glückwunsch und vielen Dank, dass Sie diesen Link für das bessere Lesen freigegeben haben.

 

From google translate:

Jim, your love for this film is in every word. You are a true enthusiast. Congratulations and thank you for sharing this link for better reading.

 

Very nice car. Very nice article. I am truly impressed with the photos and the article itself (I got a great kick out of you referring to yourself in the third person). I remember those old Cartech kits - had the brochure and everything.

 

Thanks Guys!
