I just bought my first 914, and quickly found this website, and pelican of course, and rennlist.

There's a nice healthy community of Porsche 914 enthusiasts on the internet, but I can't find any 914-friendly magazines in Seattle. Have all the good ol' 914 magazines joined the choir invisible? Road & Track is good reading, but it's just not the same.. maybe Excellence or Panorama.. I don't know.

Anyway, I'm glad to be aboard! Just one of the many Seattle members of this board.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

On several occasions, Grassroots Motorsports runs 914 articles. The latest issue is on 914 suspensions. You can also follow some of their project car transformation on their website. They just announced the purchase of a Classic car magazine, so with any luck, we may see more stuff in the future.

Pictures!! Welcome to the BBS and we love pics so please post. Tell us about your car we are interested in it, really.
Try to attend the Autocross events as thats where most of the 914 action is. There is one this Saturday at Bremerton Raceway, should be about 10 914's there, so come on out and meet everybody. Korijo (Dave), ChrisReale (Chris) should be there also.

Order the past issues of Grassroots Motorsports for their articles on restoring a green 914.

Between the Rennlist 914 mailing list, the 914club board and the Pelican board you'll have way more 914 content in one day than you'll get from any magazine in a year.

As was noted, Grassroots Motorsports has been doing a 914 project. You can even buy all their 914 related issues from the store at their web site. Excellence also has an occasional 914 article.

I'm going to agree with Anthony on this one. I have yet to see a magazine answer my 914 questions as fast as this board does.

Welcome aboard. The Northwest is well represented here.

Thanks for the replies. Yes, the change from magazines to internet has been a good thing. I wish all "progress" was this good!

I'll get some pics asap. It's a stock yellow '76 2.0 with Fuchs wheels.. needs some adjustments, but it cruised great all the way home from Portland.

Geoffmeister, I'll try to get to the autocross tomorrow.. gonna need coffee first. As Yoda says, "There is no 'try'.. there is only 'do' or 'don't do'." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

If you show up before 9:00AM you can run the AX as there is usually 5 extra helmets around. If you show up later look for the orange car and I'll be around somewhere BSing with everyone.

Magazines are cool, but the BBS is kind of a daily self renewing magazine. Everone's welcome to submit an article, the editor is very liberal. Welcome, and feel free to post a picture and get your car featured. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) SEATTLE REP-RESENTING!! Got to agree Grassroots is the only current rag I am aware of.
European Car WAS a good source untill they changed thier format not to long ago to a more upscale style and $$ auto content.
I still remember fondly when it was "VW & Porsche"
NOW that was my kind of periodical! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The editor of Excellence is a 914 guy at heart. He mentions his car every once in a while in the editorials. Plus, in the most recent article, he made an oblique reference to the 914 in a Boxster/Z4 comparo article. "30 years later, the best roadster is still the one with two trunks." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

But if you want real 914 content, well.... GRM is about the only one lately. "Nine Magazine" has had some, but they are just getting started and seem to have some teething problems. (There's a link somewhere on the Pelican site to them.) Panorama usually has one or two 914-specific tech questions in each issue, answered by Jon Lowe. About once a year they will run an article on a particular 914 or something specific about 914s, and another one or two articles are general enough that they also cover 914s...

But there ain't a lot more out there...
