Vol. 1 DEEP ’~SIXED" by Pete zimmermann I always liked 914/6’s. My mistake, for a long time, was thinking they were a six cylinder Speedster. That’s why it took me so long to obtain one. Three years ago I bought my 6. The car was to see time trial, slalom and street duty. Development of the chassis began immediately. The four way adjustable front anti-sway bar was acceptable, but the shocks had to go. In went Konis at all four corners. After a very long haul to Las Vegas for the first event, I found the car handled only fair, and didn’t stop at all. I decided more braking was necessary. To use "S" brakes, I needed new front strut/shock assemblies. It hurt to remove the new front Konis, but in went 1970 911S Bilstein struts, new ball joints and alloy brake calipers. All of a sudden the car not only stopped well, it seemed to handle better, The back end felt a bit loose during the next event, so in went a pair of 160 poled springs to replace the stock ones. The car and I were on our way to the 1978 Zone 8 Championship in Class GP. I still wasn’t satisfied. The car still had huge potential, but with a 4isplacement increase would be forced into Class X. Class X is the home of modified, pro4uction based vehicles using engines where every trick in the book can be used. The cars can be made ultra light, and any fender contour and wheel width may be used. Class X, here I come. The new engime, requiring about eighty hours to assemble, develops approximately 230 hp. Two transmissions (one for short courses, one for long) put the power to the asphalt. Little things have been done to obtain better balance in the car, but the biggest single item that has improved the car is the addition of a fuil width whale tail at the rear. This unit, a compliment to the front spoiler, improved lap times at Willow Springs more than two seconds! The addition of a front oil cooler helps to preserve engine life, and Goodyear racing tires mounte~ ~n 7" Centerline wheels do their best to keep the car on the racing surface. Now the biggest dilemma of all has presented itself. Do I add fender flares to accomodate wider tires, or do I leave the body, which is excellent in original condition? 0nly time will tell!

Sotunds like everyone had a wonderful time at the recent Willow Springs event. But how come Bob Fern renamed it "Spins in the Willows" (just for Connie?)? The following LA people participated: Lee Burton, Pete Z., Len Scott, Sam Wang, John Wmson, Judd Boykin, Connie, Ken Ballard, Rick Jackson, Charlle & Patty Akly, and new members Martin Frith, Steve Bal!ard, and Len Cusb_man. Unofficially, Lee, Pete, John, Coralee (who had a super time) and Rick took firsts in their classes. By the way, sorry we don’t have San Diego results for this paper. Don’t forget about our swap meet on April 12. Sellers 8=30, buyers 9:00.

By the time you get this month’s newsletter, we hope you will have received the March issue too: It was our first month using bulk mailing and as with all new efforts, it had a few problems. Some people got their paper the day after we mai].ed it; others waited almost two weeks for delivery. Our apologies. We think we’ve got it straightened out now. Besides, our newsletter is so much fun, it’s worth waiting for, right? Once again, we want to thank Ken Ballard for his invaluable help. Ken doesn’t just give us ideas; he burns the midnight oil with us to make sure everything comes out right. Ann is back to typing after a couple of months off. But she’s already complalning about the ball and chain. We want to thank those regions and event chairmen who have been sending us flyers far enough in advance so we can advertise their events. Too often we have to go to press with no information Other than a date--not even a phone number to help you out. We hope in the future more regions will get organized.
We haven’ t had one in eons ~ so this should be a great event. See the flyer inside. ConnieLark’nAnn

Vice Pres~ Jerry Pennington announced the guest speaker and topic for the evening. Tres. DuStin Janes repor~ad $2600 balance in account. Activities Chairman Sam Wang reviewed upcoming events.

Special thanks extended to Bob by Judd and meeting adjourned at I0 pm. TECH MEETING The Feb 25th John meeting was held at everyone the SCC Yacht Club, Fels welcomed who braved the rain to attend and proceeded to introduce the guest speaker/ instructor, Nolan Dane, representin~ Personal Protection Services. Nolan is also a member of the Torrance Police Dept. Nolan began the class with a lecture on when, where and how to use "mace". Throughout he answered all questions and gave real life accounts. We then saw a very convinc~na film of two officers who vol~eered to be sprayed with "mace". A written test was given and upon passing we were issued our permits. The meeting ended at I0130 pm with everyone given the opportunity to purchase some "mace" and going home feeling a little safer. Thank you John for a great Tech Session!
5 Here we go again - another busy month in the membership corner. Of course, we can’t be too busy since the whole future of the club is dependent on the contin%al infusion of new members with their enthusiasm, new ideas and suggestions, So let’s all become "membership chairmen" and spread the word about PCA/LA and receive participation points in the process. Our new members start off with John Castillo. John is in the film industry and along with his wife Kathleen, enjoy their 1968 Tan 912. He would also like to find someone who takes pride in their work to rebuild his 912. Don Crane joined this month after some urging by Jose. Don is a lawyer and drives a 1967 Skipper Blue 912. He is interested in TSD and Gimmick ralleys, Tom Daniels drives his 1976 Black 911S daily while working as an accountant, Tom is interested in club social activities, concours and racing. His 911 is his second Porsche after previously owning a 912E.
Our Treasurer Dustin Janes takes credit for introducing Ron Munro to PCA/LA. Ron is an Electronics Engineer. He and his wife Sally drive their 1976 White 911 daily and should be interested in our combination tech and social sessions, like our March meeting. Richard Hankin should meet Ron Munro since they have common interests in tech and social~ and Ron also drives his 1978 911 daily. Ron meet Richard, Richard meet Ron. Tomas Lopez Rocha lives in Mexico but is VP of Calzado Canada~ which operates a business in L.A. Tomas is interested in technical information and is the only new member this month with a 356. He saves his 196q Grey 356C for special occasions, which seems only fair. These are the new members this month except for the newest and youngest memher, who is sponsored by Jan & Cindy Winthrop. CONGRATS to the new parents of Kimberly. TILL NEXT MONTH.
Barry Johnson and his wife Virginia, after owning a number of 356’s, now drive a 1969 Yellow 912 (and I think they also have a ’57 Speedster). They
are interested in social, tech and racing. Barry is the second lawyer to
join
this
month.
Another Computer expert me) joins the club with
(?) (besides a 1966 Beige
911. George McMurtry drives his Porsche daily and since he and his wife Ann are interested in social activities and ralleys, we should be
seeing them at the club activities. Ronald Meek must have been at our Gimmick Halley in Feb. since he and his wife Jan enjoy taking their 1970 Green 911 on Gimmick Ralleys & social events.

8 1981 is moving right along and PCA’s calendar is going full blast, April First will see the Board Meeting convene at John Fel’s home. Call John if you plan on coming - we’ll be doing some heavy thinking on LA Region’s 1984 Parade proposal.’ April 5 is PCA-LA’s contribution to the Zone 8 Concours series. This elegant affair will be held in the beautiful Pacific Palisades area - come out to see some sensational cars. Bring a picnic, a camera or two or even better, shine up your own Porsche and show it! April 11 will be PCA-Orange Coast’s Zone 8 rallye - these are traditionally very good, well-written routes that are challenging but straight-forward, On April 12 we’ll revive an old-fashioned practice - the Porsche Swap Meet. It’ll be held at a school adjacent to Porschop (3906 GrandView Blvd., L.A.,90066, phone 213-398-2217). Come out and visit with us and unload all of your spare stuff from the garage (and swap it for someone else’s excess baggage!) for fun and profit, April ]6, Thursday, will see the monthly general membership meeting. We’ll be at the Yacht Club for a 1973 Factory f~im, THE ONE FOR THE ROAD, that covers the development of the 1973 911. April 22 will have another in our fine series of tech sessions. Hosted by Pete Zimmerman at h~s shop Redl]ne Service (720 Colorado Ave., Santa Monica, 90401, phone 213-450-7414)0 We’ll be covering home maintenance procedures on 356, 914, 911, 924 types. This will be a really fun event - lots to learn even if you don’t intend to do your own work.
"Home Maintenance, .... Porsche Puttering," or what ever you want to call it, will be the topic of our April 22nd Tech Meeting. Many of us want to know more about the taking care of our cars ourselves, what we can do on our own to help maintain our wonderful machines, and, in the process, maybe save some money. Preventative maintenance, knowing what to look after, can often save big bucks, and we’re all interested in that. Whereas last month’s meeting dealt with the cosmetics, this month will be the mechanicals. Again, this will be a ,hands-on" workshop type meeting. We’ll have on hand examples of each model Porsche (356, ~911, 914, 924) and experts on each to show us what we can do and to answer our questions. This type of meeting has been a great success in the past and we know we’ll have a fine turnout. Pete Zimmermann, racer and owner of Red Line Service~ Inc. has graciously extended to us the use of his fine shop and facilities and will be among those professionals on hand to share with us his knowledge of maintaining the breed. Also~ there will be coffee, beer and wine on hand so that nobody should go thirsty on us. Again the place will be Red Line Service~ Inc., 720 Colorado Avenue (just West of Lincoln) in Santa Monica. Call 450-7414 if you need directions. The time will be 8 pm, April 22nd. Upcoming Tech Meetings: No meeting for May but put aside June 21 for a trip and other happenings to the world famous Briggs Cunningham Museum.
As this column is being written, Time Trialing is on my mind, We’ve just finished the Willow sjrings event put on jointly by PCA Riverside and Porsche Owners Club.. It was a simply great even~ There were well over I00 cars and LA R@gion fielded almost 20 drivers. The weather was chamber-of-commerce perfect and we all enjoyed each others company. We’re looking forward to the next event in Phoenix on April 25,26. They’ve resurfaced much of that track and Arizona Region is planning several activities to make the long trek even more worthwhile. Call Judd Boykin for more details,

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT (Ann received the following letter and pictures from longtime PCA-LA member, Peter Muller, who now lives in Hamburg. We think his car is terrific, and we send a big HELLO from everyone in LA). Dear Ann, Thank you for putting "Happy New Year" on the envelope of the January issue of PORSCHERAMA. I only got it now, having been away on business and spending some time in the snow riding little toboggans on the Cresta run at St. Moritz. I certainly wish all of you over there a happy and joyful 1981, being certain that sunny California will cater for you all, despite of all daily problems. I read, with great interest, about what is happening in PCA-LA and constantly wish I could partake. But there are two problems~ one, the distance! the other, my car. The police would (I suppose) shoot at first sight, since she is too fast and there’s emission control--whatever that is: I do hope that one of these days I will have a chance to be present at one of the bigger all-member meetings, thereby having the pleasure of meeting many of my fellow (and female--bringing it to its precise meaning) members. That could be the time when I would ask you to preselect for me a good 356B Roadster. I would love to pick it up and take it back to its homeland--a sort of reverse Treffen! If there is anything I can do or arrange for you over here, please let me know. Kindest regards from the ’lone’ member in--this time of year--gray Hamburg. Yours,
LEGISLATIVE LIAISON BULLETIN NO. 81-I The purpose of the Legislative Liaison Bulletins is to inform all members of the Porsche Club of any pending automobilerelated legislation or regulation which may not be in the best interests of the Club or its members. The bulletins, which will be issued throughout the year as required, will report on legislation occuring both in Washington D.C. and in the various state governments. Region Presidents are requested to address the reported issues at the regular meeting of their Region, and newsletter Editors are requested to publish the information in their next Newsletter. Normally, we will be requesting the membership to write letters to their Congressmen expressing sn opinion on the issue in order to influence their vote, and we will provide instructions on how to write your Congressman .... We have some good news to report initially, President~agan is against excess regulation~ and has begun to take appropriate action to stem the regulation tide in the U,S, One of his first official acts was to issue an Executive Order prohibiting any new regulation from taking effect for a period of 60 days, giving his Administration time to review regulations to determine which might not be really needed~ President Reagan has nominated Raymond Peck to be the head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), replacing antl-automobile Joan Claybrook, Mr. Peck, who is expected to be confirmed, would undoubtedly support President Reagan’s efforts to lessen government control of the automobile industry. The most important piece of legislation introduced thus far is a bill which would repeal the National 55 mph maximum limit from the U.S. code. All PCA members are urged to write their Congressmen IN SUPPORT OF H,R. 992. Here’s how to write your Congressman: ADDRESS: The Honorable John Doe House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515
One additional item of interest which does not require any member action just yet, is that the Pacific Lega! Foundation Fecently introduced a pet~tinn to the NHTSA which would repeal the present Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208. This is the standard that is requiring Air Bags (essent~ally) to be installed in all vehicles by ]q84, starting in 1982 with luxury cars, This is one issue that PCA has been opposed to all along, and we will keep you posted of the status of this petition. Another item of [nt.erest ]s the fact that in January the NHTSA denied a petition submitted by the Ins~vance Institute for H~ghway Safety that would have required a~l "cruise con[rol" devices to have a maximum setting of 55 mph, This intelligent action by NHTSA is ind{cative of their responsiveness to President.Reagan’s antiregulation policy, and we app~,aude NHTSA for their action Robert C, Rassa Chairman, National Legislative Lia~so~ Comm~tte~’
The body of the letter should be short and brief, All you have to say is that you favor the resolution and you want your Congressman to vote for it. Handwritten letters are perfectly acceptable, and in fact, are somewhat preferred. ¯l~:MPE~rr
