When is a 40 year old car not a 40 year old car? When every functional and cosmetic aspect of it has been meticulously inspected, rebuilt or replaced with new, upgraded or excellent used components. This is the case with my beautiful 1973 Porsche 914 2.0L. Of course it did not start out this way. I purchased this car 4 years ago online from someone out West who shall we we say was a good deal less than honest about its condition. After overcoming my initial disgust and heartache, I decided that I was going to restore this car.Thus began a 4 year restoration project that is now complete. As anyone who rebuilds these great machines for a hobby knows, it is a painstaking process that involves countless hours of searching for parts online, consulting forums, and contributing to the good Dr.'s retirement account :) not to mention taking up space in your garage and becoming all to familiar with a floor jack and jack stands. So why undertake such an agonizing process? Because when you get one of these cars and you set it up right, it is one of the best pure driving experiences you can find. An experience that will put a smile on your face every time - not just because they handle like go karts or because in many ways they were ahead of their time, but because you are driving a unique piece of history that will cause people to stop, stare, smile, track you down in parking lots and give you the thumbs up no matter where you go.
I rebuilt this car with every intention of keeping it and perhaps passing it along to my son when he was old enough to drive. It was with those thoughts in mind that I took on every aspect of this build - no shortcuts, no cheese ball hacker patch-it and flip it scenarios. It is at the end of the day a car that I am extremely proud of. A car that is meant to be driven every day and enjoyed even if those drives take you to a car show or a track somewhere. It is a car that can be driven anywhere and enjoyed for many years with just the basic maintenance that these great machines require ( service that any reputable Porsche garage or do-it-yourselfer can easily manage). I have below a partial list of the work that I have done and the components that have been added or replaced. I will add more as time and my schedule allows. I have listed the obligatory 24 pictures here. I have over 200 more that you can find on Photobucket that shows the considerable detail that went in to this build. I will try and post the link later.

Porsche Macan to get four-cylinder engines
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Porsche hasn't offered a four-cylinder engine since the 968 went out of production in 1995 - the better part of two decades ago. There'd been talk of a four-pot Boxster or an even smaller model to slot in below it, but while the latest intel indicates that Porsche is moving ahead with its four-cylinder plans, it's a different kind of vehicle that will get it first.
That, of course, would be the new Macan. Just revealed a few weeks ago at the LA Auto Show, the Macan crossover is being launched with a pair of twin-turbocharged V6 engines (a 3.0 with 340 horsepower and a 3.6 with 400 hp) and a six-cylinder turbodiesel with 258 hp. But smaller engines, according to emerging reports from Autocar and Auto Express, are on their way.
Word has it that Porsche is preparing a 2.0-liter turbo four with 280 horsepower and a diesel with the same displacement and cylinder count, engines that will power new entry-level Macan models that will slot in beneath the existing Macan S, Macan S Diesel and Macan Turbo. While the diesel is tipped to be ported over from the Volkswagen parts bin, the four-cylinder gasoline engine is said to be under development by Porsche itself, which could mean it will have a boxer layout.
Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
