 Up-Fixin der Porsche is discontinued & no longer in print, So why doesn't PCA have it on the web? |

Glad PCA has the Index to Up-Fixin on the pca.org website, but
if they are the ones who printed it in the first place, why is it not available as a .pdf download or as a searchable web database? Glad I bought a good set on eBay! Didn't mind Vol 1 was missing: no 914 that early on... Paul |

I was glad to get Volumes II through XI on eBay but the point remains: if this is a PCA publication and they have all of the copyrights for the material, it should be available digitally. For instance, the recent question about how big can the 1.8 motor go is nicely addressed in an article on page 38 of Volume XI covering all of the 914 motors. Options retaining the concours look are discussed as well as carbs and other "non-original" changes. And a word search of a .pdf volume would be great, in addition to looking through the list of article titles provided on the PCA website.
Reason I mention it now is the fact that I joined the club last night. Membership papers take 2-3 weeks so...if you see me gripe about this in the future, remind me to shut up and take it the source! Paul |
