Porsche introduced the new generation 911 called the 996 in 1999. This is the first year of the water cooled
Porsche 911. The 996 motors and the Boxter motors during the first four years of manufacture proved to be good
motors except for the failure of the Intermediate shaft bearing. The reason for the failure was because of a
design flaw of the part by Porsche. They made this a sealed bearing, which over time and use, spun the lubrication
out of the bearing, and because it was sealed, oil passing through the motor did not provide additional lubrication
to the intermediate shaft bearing. Once lubrication was absent; the ball bearings would grind against the other
ball bearings and a bearing failure would occur, putting metal pieces through out the motor effectively destroying
the motor. Do not consider buying a 996 Porsche unless the Intermediate shaft bearing has been up graded! This
being said; this car has just had this up graded Intermediate shaft bearing replaced two weeks ago. At the same
time, because the clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing has to be removed to install the new Intermediate
shaft bearing; a brand new High Performance Sacs Clutch, Pressure Plate, and throw out bearing has also been
installed in this car by a Porsche Factory certified mechanic. (Receipts available with purchase of this vehicle.)
This 996 Porsche is a Carrera 4 which signifies that it is a 4 Wheel Drive vehicle. This car is a three owner car,
with all maintenance records since new with the vehicle. The car was sold new here in Knoxville by Harper's
Porsche Audi
for over $82,000.00 in 1999. Original window sticker is included in the sale. This car has never been wrecked,
and has a clean Car Fax, also provided with the sale of this vehicle. The vehicle now has just a couple of miles
over 46K. Since buying the car last August, I have spent over 10K doing a complete re-body and paint to make the
car look like a 2011 GT3RS. Modifications include; GT2 Front bumper cover with real Carbon Fiber accents on front
spoiler lip. Turbo lower side valance's on both sides. 997 Style GT3 Wing with real Carbon Fiber on Wing Blade. I
also bought a brand new set of OEM 19"Turbo wheels (8.5" Front 11" Rear) and had them Powder Coated Guards Red.
Less than 100 miles since mounting on the car. Absolutely NEW with NO curb rash at all. Pirelli P-Zero tires with
90% + tread remaining. ( 235-35-19 Front - 285-30-19 Rear) To complement the look of a $200K Porsche GT3RS; I
also installed a New High performance Cold Air Intake Inhaler in Yellow to match the exterior, and a brand new
Chrome Cat Back Exhaust System, eliminating the stock mufflers. (The original mufflers will be included with the
vehicle.) Additional maintenance just completed on the vehicle includes. New Alternator, New Battery. Oil change, 4
Wheel alignment. The vehicle also has brand new set of 4 Lloyd Floor Mats with Custom designed logo's. Everything
works as it should; all gauges, power seats, radio, stereo, sunroof. No engine lights with the exception of the
wing light for the rear wing comes on after driving the car over 70 MPH for some time.
That is because the power wing was removed to put on the 997 GT3 fixed wing. ( Original power wing included with
sale.) The 996 GT3RS was actually produced by Porsche in 2003 and 682 were produced but none were sold in the
United States.

Porsche Supercup racer dies in crash in Australia

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

Even with great strides made towards increasing the safety of motor racing, fundamentally it's still a dangerous sport. And now it has claimed another life.
That life belonged to one Sean Edwards, an accomplished GT racing driver. Edwards was killed at Queensland Raceway in Australia, riding shotgun in a Porsche 996 GT3 while acting as instructor. The driver was airlifted to hospital with critical injuries. Sean Edwards was 26.
The son of former F1 driver Guy Edwards (whose car he drove in the filming of Rush), Sean won the European GT3 Championship in a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and drove a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 to repeat victories at the 24 Hours of Dubai as well as this year's Nürburgring 24 Hours. Edwards had been competing in the Porsche Supercup, whose standings he currently leads with just two rounds to go, and could be crowned champion posthumously.

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."

Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?

Mon, Feb 27 2017

We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.
