What kind of information is contained in the magazine? I am specifically curious about what kind of technical/maintenace information it has to offer.

Thanks in advance!

Dave,
Here is an idea of the 1st issue contents:

o 928 Interest Group Locator (regional)
o Editors welcome column
o 928 as World Standard Automobile & the Future
o World Feature: 928's in Australia
o Community: Battle in Seattle
o Cover Feature Article: '86 928 Euro 32v
o Performance Enhancement: The "X" (Pipe)
o 928 Opinion Articles

A reasonable mix I think.. I gather there may be more technical articles once the authors are located (thats you guys out there with special expertise...). There is mention of some ideas for next edition: DasTek, Ultimate GT Interior, Mast Antenna Upgrade....

Go to <a href="http://www.928forum.com" target="_blank">www.928forum.com</a> & read the editorial.. it may just make you want to fork out $35 to keep the rocketship viable for the long run...

Little bump.

I recently picked up a bunch of old literature from the front office at 928 Intl with the intent of doing some scanning and archiving. Among the literature were the five issues of 928 Forum Magazine. I scanned and OCR'ed each issue, they're linked below. I asked Adam's permission to do this so I hope everyone's ok with this. Page 2 of several issues has an e-mail list, if anyone on that list doesn't want their 10 year old e-mail address searchable by the Google, let me know and I'll redact it. Likewise for anyone who may have contributed material and doesn't want it online.

There is a _ton_ of great reading here, excellent tech and photos. My hat is off to the editorial staff and the great production values.


These are big pdf files, upwards of 20MB, they may be slow to load in the mornings.

Anyhoo:

Volume 1, #1

Rob,

Thanks for posting. I have a feeling there is more to come. Can you give us some hints?

Very cool Rob, thanks for doing this.

Speaking of 928 history, I still have an archive of PorscheFans daily email digest from 98 to 03 that would be good to make available somehow if anyone's interested. I just clicked on one randomly, 3/16/1998, and see posts from Dave Roberts, Phil Tong, Lenard Laub, Gene O'Rourke, and Luis Ott.

Thanks for posting those, Rob. Can someone point me in the right direction of how to subscribe and get the new issues? The links in the posts above don't seem to work (for me, at least).

The magazine was short lived (unfortunately) - and has been long gone... look at the dates here...
