I am the 2nd owner of this 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 which is also know by the Porsche internal code of 996. The 1999 C4 featured several firsts for the 911.  In addition to the water cooled engine the car has Porsche Stability Management (PSM), which is the Porsche version of traction control, and E-gas.  With all wheel drive and the PMS this car just grips the road without being tail happy like earlier versions of the car.

I have owned the car for 8 years and over that time I have made a few upgrades that improve the car but keep the stock look.  The upgrades include:

LN IMS bearing:  this is a must.   Do not buy a 911 or Boxster without having this done.  Almost all Porsche Techs recommend that this upgrade be done.

Transmission reconditioned: I had my local shop open the transmission and check for wear and had them replace the pinion bearings.

ROW030 suspension:  This is a Porsche suspension package that improves handling without being harsh and lowers the car by about 1/2 inch.

Short shifter

Upgraded exhaust: adding a few HP and more pleasing and aggressive exhaust note.

Clear side marker lights, CD holder delete

The wear items on the car are all newer.  The clutch was changed 10K miles ago, Porsche rotors are new, the 17" tires (HTZ III) are new.  The car also has the better filtering spin on oil filter and adapter and a low temperature thermostat. 

Over the time I have owned the car I averaged 4000 miles per year and stored the car during the winter.  I am selling the car because a recent move has left me short on garage space.

Also included in the sale are a set of original 18" turbo twist wheels and heated winter storage in the Holland, MI area.

 

These cars are a blast to drive and surprisingly modern for the age:  0-60 in 5ish seconds and 173 mph top speed, air bags, antilock brakes, traction control, etc.

 

The car is clean and in good condition. There are a few stone chips on the hood, a small dent near the drivers side marker light, and a few other dings.  Overall for the age and mileage the car is clean.  The interior is clean, the drivers seat shows a bit of wear but not rips or tears.  There is some spotting on the passenger side headlight and a small chip on the windshield.  The paint is good but there are a few spots that have crazing.  If you were looking at the car you would not think anything of them as they are that small.

I may have missed something, please let me know if you have any questions.  I have more pictures and can send them upon request.

If you are the winning high bidder I will allow you time to have the car inspected (PPI) by your preferred shop at your expense and will assist you in facilitating that.  If fact, I would encourage you to have a PPI done on any car you are considering.  I did.  If you were to decide not to buy the car based on the results I will ask you to pay the ebay fee of $125.  So $125 is your risk of winning the bid on this car. 

In fairness to all bidders, I will not disclose my reserve during the auction period.

As they say, Happy Bidding.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS spec sheet leaked, promises 500 hp

Mon, Feb 23 2015

Axis of Oversteer has three pages of what's purported to be the spec sheet for the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and it's got a few bolded items noting key differences with the already spectacular 911 GT3. Prime among them is its output, pegged at exactly 500 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque, which looks at first blush to be a minor bump: just 25 hp and 14 lb-ft over the GT3, and the redline drops 200 rpm to 8,800 rpm. If the document is accurate, though, there will be a hefty dose of weight loss to make the most of it. The bodyshell and doors are aluminum, carbon fiber reinforced plastic is used for those vented front fenders (the vanes are plastic), the front trunklid, the rear engine cover, and the rear wing, while the roof is made of magnesium and the side windows are polycarbonate. The bucket seats, door entry guards, and other interior trim pieces are also fashioned from CFRP, and it gets lightweight door panels with pull-loops. Elsewhere around the coupe, the body grows wider by 50 millimeters in front and 30 mm in back over a track that's 36 mm wider. There's a pit-lane speed limiter for track days, tinted taillights, an optional Clubsport package with a six-point seatbelt, and GT3 RS logos everywhere. It's looking more and more like this car was developed to define the word "epic."

Watch a Porsche 918 Spyder being built by hand

Sat, Jan 3 2015

No music track, no dialogue, no voiceover, just a group of women and men in a very clean room in Zuffenhausen assembling the Porsche 918 Spyder. It's the antidote to the adrenaline that the open-topped hybrid coupe encourages in most enthusiast bloodstreams, but this nearly-11-minute video is the most captivating B-roll we've seen in a while. From hand-sewn leather to hand-wrapped trim, monococques being wheeled about, the copious use of shims and the rear brace being fitted over the engine, plus the Christmas-like joy of opening a box of body panels, it's all in there. You can't buy a new one anymore, but you can see how they're built for those who did buy them in the video above.

Son of Porsche 911 designer recalls 1963 Frankfurt debut

Wed, 16 Oct 2013


The Goodwood Revival is described by its presenters as the greatest motorsport racing party of the year. We often focus heavily on the motorsports, but you can't forget about the party. For the first preview of the new 911 Turbo in the UK, Porsche recreated its booth from the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1963 - the time and place of the original 911's public debut.
Porsche's cameras also caught up with Mark Porsche, the great grandson of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche and son of the late Ferdinand Alexander "Butzi" Porsche, who oversaw the design of the 911. Mark Porsche admires the 911's friendly design, which is set off by the round headlights, and says his mother, who was at the original Frankfurt booth in 1963, was milling around the booth at Goodwood - no doubt taking a trip down memory lane.
