1986 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Tampa, Florida, United States
Vanilla Sundae, Everyday
What if your Sunday driver could be your daily driver; Porsche Everyday? What if Porsche made a GT3 in 1986? This
is the car!
The car is a very rare color that was special order only in 86’. The paint is all original. The wheels are the
original as well and have been recently refinished. The car has fresh Bridgeston RE-71 Tires, these are the best
performers in dry/wet tires for the 16” wheels. The cars suspension has been replaced for a proper ride and
safety.
Bilstein Sport shocks in the rear and comfort in front gives the best balance between road feel that is not too
firm or too soft. Instead of just repairing the CV joints I had the axles replaced. Lowered to European Ride
Height, with a alignment setup for performance driving, and corner balanced for a drivers weight of 185 pounds. The
stance is further refined with the addition of rear wheel spacers. The wheel bearings were also replaced.
The OEM brakes lacked the stopping power I was accustomed to from driving modern GT3’s. Rather then just upgrade
to 930 brakes, I wanted to take it a step further and got a big brake kit with some custom fabrication done to fit
the factory wheels. The rotors are much larger then factory as well. Steel brake lines have been added with PFC
pads and the best possible brake fluid Castrol SRF.
The exhaust system has been completely replaced with new pipes and gaskets. Starting with Euro George’s headers
(known for making the most power), Cat Delete Straight pipes, and M&K GT3 Style Center Exhaust (2in 2 out). With
this setup you’d be surprised at just how good the car sounds; zero drone, and not too loud at full throttle. I
have to mention with the addition of the headers the car currently does not have heat. Heater components will be
included in the sale. Also to add to performance and maximize gains from the exhaust system the car has a custom
performance chip done by Steve Wong from 911chips. The spark plugs were just replaced along with new wires and
distributor cap.
Being a Florida Car (from 86 to now) I had the air conditioning system upgraded and it will keep you cool up to 90
degrees! Worn hoses were replaced, a “pro cooler” was added, a new compressor, and the system runs on a R12
substitute. A Keuhl air vent was also added for a little more flow.
The most crucial connection between man and car is in the cabin; the steering wheel and shifter. The steering wheel
has been replaced with a Momo Prototipo wheel. It isn’t just a visual improvement, but a performance enhancement.
The leather embossed Porsche Crest horn button completes the look. The factory shifter was vague and uninspiring. I
had that replaced with a Rennshift kit. It gives the shifter a much more modern defined feel. There is no searching
for gears. Its a positive feel when engaging gears. All of the bushings have been replaced, the coupling, engine &
transmission mounts, and the gearbox oil as well. This is the best 915 you will come across. I have driven G50’s
that don't feel as good!
Custom Door light weight door panels wrapped in leather and stitched too look factory really add to the experience
of the car. The door pulls are leather straps that gives you the feeling you are stepping out of something really
special, which you are. Other weight savings include, rear seatback delete, heat delete, Recaro seats, and lighter
exhaust system.
Two sets of keys, original spare, and manual are also included. In addition the car is hard wired for a valentine
one radar detector. A cup holder has been added as well.
The cars performance is excellent. Between the handling, braking, acceleration, it has it all to go with the looks.

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
Porsche Cayenne shows a bit more face, plug-in spotted
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Porsche was first rumored to be working on a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the Cayenne over a year ago. However, we had never seen it, until now. The new model was caught almost completely undisguised while testing. In another stroke of luck, we got a glimpse of the upcoming facelift for Porsche's SUV (pictured above) as well.
According to the spy shooter, it was windy during the cars' cold weather testing. The cover blew off of the facelifted Cayenne, and there was enough time to snap these pictures before it could be hidden again. The changes are all quite minor but jive with what we saw the last time it was spied. The rear still wears some cladding but is expected to be hiding lights similar to the Macan.
The second gallery shows off the upcoming Cayenne PHEV. It looks nearly identical to the standard model, except for the extra panel on the driver's side of the car that hides the electric port. One image even shows the car plugged in. The new version is expected to use the same supercharged 3.0-liter V6 and 9.4-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack with a combined 416 horsepower and 435 pound-feet of torque from the Panamera S E-Hybrid. We enjoyed the system when we tested it last year. It's rumored to debut on the SUV sometime this year.
Recharge Wrap-up: Porsche Mission E charging for Tesla, net zero energy Toyota dealership
Wed, Oct 5 2016Porsche has confirmed that its Mission E charging infrastructure will also work with Tesla vehicles. The ultra-fast, 800-volt charging system will recharge the Mission E to 80 percent in about 15 minutes, and will also service new EVs from Volkswagen and Audi. Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Top Gear that development of the charging infrastructure "sounds easy but getting the details agreed is hard. We already have the clear technical concept. It can even work with Teslas, with an adapter." Dieter Zetsche, Head of Mercedes-Benz, also tells Top Gear that they are "in talks" with Porsche regarding charging infrastructure.

The newly constructed, LEED Platinum certified Toyota of Corvallis produces more energy than it consumes, for which it is expected to receive Net Zero Energy certification. The 34,800-square-foot building is equipped with enough solar panels to produce as much energy that the dealership will use, with excess being put back into the grid, which will help during hours of peak demand. Toyota Motor Sales regional manager Steve Haag calls Toyota of Corvallis, "a first-of-its-kind template for the auto dealership of the future." Read more from Toyota. Valeo has introduced a new 48-volt hybrid system. The 48V e4Sport, as it is called, uses a 48-volt battery, electric starter-generator, electric supercharger, and eRAD electric rear axle drive for all-wheel drive. It maximizes regenerative braking and stores that energy for increasing torque with the starter-generator, and increasing acceleration with the electric supercharger. The system also supports all-electric driving modes. Valeo says the system is applicable across all vehicle segments, and works with both gasoline and diesel engines. Read more at Green Car Congress. PSA Group has created its own mobility solutions brand, called Free2Move. Free2Move will handle programs like car sharing, connected services, corporate fleet services, and affordable leasing programs for Peugeot, Citroen, DS, and other PSA partners. "For the PSA Group, mobility means not only making and selling excellent cars, but also offering a full range of mobility solutions," says PSA Group VP of Mobility Services Gregoire Olivier.
