Riff, great idea. It will require a regional contact to keep track of all of those things. There is no way one person could manage that. What do you think, 1 person per region...West, Southwest, Midwest, Southeast, Northeast?

I'm in as well. Editor, photographer, and writing experience to offer. Also have a minor in English for those pesky proof reading tasks. How about a nice 968 Aero Mirror Upgrade how to?

I would be willing to setup/host the online magazine infastructure, and maybe use type944.com as the name of the mag if that's what is decided...

The cheapest I was quoted for printing them up as professional looking calendars was over $15 a piece. A little more than I was willing to put into each one before selling them. I realize some of you would have gladly paid that for a calendar that looks decent, I thought that my time would've been more wisely spent if I could've gotten them for under $10, shipping included as I would've sold probably twice as many.

Damian - it would be possible (infact it has been done before) but you have to be concerned about the dyno accuracy, as well as other factors. I would like to take a totally stock car and give it a shot though.

I can check out some of the content management systems and set up some of them as demos on my GhettoServer (TM) if anyone wants. Will definatly be easier to use an existing system and modify it than to whip up something from scratch.
I would also be more than willing to submit some howtos, articles, etc or take car of some misc stuff or webmastering or something.
A few things to consider tho, this sort of site will grow and eventually need a fair chunk of bandwidth. Once we start getting some articles with pics on there, etc, it wont be long before the bills become significant. Is it going to be by subscription to get to most content? Free for all and by donation? Subscription to get to ANY content? Free for all and supported only by ads?

I can help proof read/ edit. While my major is the farthest thing from English, I've always been very good with grammer and spelling. I have tons of extra rennlist webspace, too, if you need somewhere to store stuff.

I think these ideas are great and would also like to contribute in any way possible. I have written/edited a number of articles for various small publications, I would be happy to help.
Ideas in addition to what is listed above:
In depth 944 Cup coverage.
Racetrack Analysis: Each month, a contributor writes a peice with photos describing his/her favorite track.
Upgrade testing: Real world comparisons betwen various tuner's items. Practically all of the different modification options are covered by the members here, writing objective comparos and including real world data would be a cool feature.
Title:
Lets call it "924/944/968 - Everything Else Sucks" And then post links to all the other P-car forums out there.

I would be more than willing to give some bucks and do a few tech articles like auto to 5-speed conversion. I have also built my own injector test stand where I can flush cleaner through the injectors to give them a good cleaning. Do you guys think there would be some folks interested in those type of articles?
