This absolutely stunning original Talbot Yellow 911S Coupe long term project is ready for a new owner who can
either drive it the way it sits, or take it to the next level...which isn't that far away.
This beauty may lose some of it's aura if you give the "B" grade paint finish a really close inspection, and you
might find it a little unsettling that it smokes a little at startup if it's been sitting unused for several days.
And yes, there is some very light surface rust in a couple of places that can be easily fixed, and a parking lot
bump shows a little on the right rear rubber bumper.
So much for the bad news, now a little about the good: The stock (and numbers correct) 2.7L engine was rebuilt to a
high level in 2001 (21,000 miles ago) with performance head studs, updated turbo chain tensioners, 11-blade cooling
fan, ported and polished heads, higher lift camshafts, carburetors and stainless steel headers, heat exchangers and
performance exhaust. The engine shrouding, valve covers and cooling fan were bead blasted and powder coated a
beautiful satin black. The stock 915 transmission was rebuilt, 1st and 2nd gear synchronizers replaced, clutch
replaced with a lightweight ceramic unit, and the shifter and connection linkage replaced with Wevo units.
The suspension was upgraded to new Bilstein shocks and struts, with new turbo tie-rod ends and sway bar linkage.
The brake calipers were rebuilt with new Ferodo performance friction.
The interior was replaced: new factory original carpet set, Lloyds floor mats, factory vinyl seat covers front and
rear, and door panels. The radio was replaced with a very tasteful Becker CDR-210 unit from a Boxster with Boston
Acoustics speakers, though I always prefer the music the flat six makes!
The exterior was updated with Euro halogen headlights and taillight lenses and a new rubber front bumper "smile".
The stock Fuchs wheels (needing restoration) were replaced with later "black spoke" models which I prefer...but you
can have your choice of either set...just not both. The tires on both sets are rather old, so you should budget
replacement before any spirited driving.
I sold my very successful auto repair shop last year and am transitioning to a less stressful life without needful
performance cars. Rest assured that all work was completed to a high standard (excepting the paint, and that guy
has since died, so I can't really speak ill of his craftsmanship), and the photos speak for themselves.

Porsche undecided on new 911 GT2 [w/poll]
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Fans of hardcore 911s had it pretty good with the last 997 generation. There was the GT3, GT3 RS, GT3 RS 4.0, GT2 and GT2 RS (pictured above). Each one was faster, more powerful and more expensive than the one below it, but what they all shared was what Porsche purists love most: rear engine, rear drive, a manual transmission and little else.
So far with the new 991, Porsche has only released a GT3 version. Sure, there have been other models, but they're all decidedly more luxurious and less performance-focused. And as impressive a machine as the new GT3 is, it has run the risk of alienating some of its most ardent fanatics with technological interference in the form of a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and four-wheel steering. So what those purists have really been looking forward to is a more hardcore GT3 RS or new GT2. But those may not be coming so quickly.
Speaking with 911 project chief August Achleitner, Car and Driver reports that a new GT2 is anything but a foregone conclusion. The reasons may be partially political, but could be technical in nature as well: with 560 horsepower driving all four wheels, the new 911 Turbo S runs the 0-60 in less than three seconds. Give it more power but less traction, as Porsche has done with past GT2s, and you may not end up seeing an actual improvement in performance. A GT2 that's slower than the Turbo S would be difficult to explain.

J.D. Power: Vehicle dependability at all-time high, Lexus and Porsche lead
Wed, 13 Feb 2013
Each year, J.D. Power and Associates surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles to find out what kinds of problems they have had experienced over the last 12 months, and then it uses this data to create its annual Vehicle Dependability Study. This means that the models in the 2013 study are 2010 model year vehicles, and J.D. Power rates each make as well as the top individual models based on how many problems were experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Debunking the idea that carryover models are more dependable than new or updated models, the 2013 study found that the average carryover model experienced 133 PP100, while all-new or redesigned vehicles for the 2010 model year had 116 PP100; vehicles that received minor changes fared the best with just 111 PP100. The overall average for all makes was 126 PP100, which is the lowest figure since the findings were first issued in 1989.
