This rare 1974 Porsche roadster (914) with a 2.0 liter engine comes with dual 40mm double barrel carburetors. The engine was recently rebuilt, and has approximately 500 miles. This car runs good, and it gets all the attention wherever it goes!!! There are no major scratches nor dents on the exterior. The paint is okay, but there are a few imperfections, especially on the front hood. There is no visible rust. The tires are good, with about 70% of tread left. The brakes work fine, and I have extra brakes/calipers and many other spare parts for this vehicle. Car also comes with the original owner's manual and with about 15 repair books covering the entire vehicle (motor, transmission, electrical, body, suspension, fuel system, etc). The lights (electrical) on this car work fine. Registration/tags are good through August of 2014 and car is insured. I have the title/ pink slip registered to me.

 

 The seats are recaro/ Porsche seats from a 2000 Porsche Boxter or Carrera; they have seat covers and are a lot more comfortable than the original! The carpet, door panels, the back pad, the dash and everything in the interior looks good. Doors open and close fine and all door handles and window cranks work fine. The front glass and windows are good without cracks. The rubber seals are there, and they keep the interior dry. The dash is the original one, and was somewhat refurbished (cracks were filled and sanded, & dash was dyed black). Car has a nice Alpine CD stereo, and it also has several speakers. Car also comes with a center console with 3 gauges (clock, voltage and temp). There is a newer spare tire in the front compartment with a jack.

 

 There are some minor things that might need attention, like the AC, heater and the speedometer. They are either not functional or they are simply not connected (could be a fuse, relay or a line not connected). Fuel and temp gauges work fine. Also, I recently noticed that the car has a really minor oil leak, possibly from a pushrod tube. The seal might need to be replaced (easy fix). I always drove this vehicle on the weekends, with the top off (I never needed any AC or heater). Since my baby was born about 7 months ago, I haven't been driving it too much, and now It is time to pass it on. I regularly had a technician adjust the valves, carburetors and the timing. The car is 40 years old and it is in really good condition, overall! It is a survivor!! Potential buyers are welcome to come see the car. Thanks for your interest.

Porsche Cayman GT4 spotted at the N?rburgring

Tue, 13 May 2014

It was just the other day that we first caught wind of Porsche's plans to build a GT4 version of the Cayman, and now we're already looking at spy shots of the vehicle in question undergoing testing at - where else? - the Nürburgring.
With more aggressive front-end aero, a GT3-style air vent ahead of the front hood, a large wing at the back, and spindly alloys packed with over-sized brakes at each corner, this Cayman is clearly more extreme than even the range-topping GTS. The rear diffuser and central exhaust tips look about the same as those you'd find at the back of the Cayman GTS, though.
What we can't see, of course, is what Porsche has slotted in under the rear glass, how it's upgraded the interior and how much weight it's stripped out of the thing to get it down to fighting weight, but you can bet it'll come with a substantial power bump and a stripped-out interior with racing buckets and little else to open the gap between it and the GTS... and close the gap to the 911 GT3 which it will join as the baby brother in Porsche's performance-focused lineup.

Audi says fixing diesel emission problem is simple

Fri, Dec 11 2015

Audi reportedly has a simple repair nearly ready to fix the emissions problem on 85,000 vehicles with the 3.0-liter TDI V6 in the US. "Swift, straightforward and customer-friendly solutions are in discussion," company exec Rupert Stadler told workers in Germany, according to Reuters. In late November, Audi announced that the 3.0 TDI had three previously undisclosed auxiliary emission control devices, including one that was potentially considered a defeat device under US law. At the time, the German automaker claimed it could repair the problem with just a software update. Stadler's statement indicates that just such a simple fix might be on the way. Even before Audi's disclosure of the emission control devices, the Environmental Protection Agency issued a notice of violation against the 3.0-liter TDI for allegedly having software to defeat emissions tests, and the agency later expanded the scope to any vehicle with the engine from 2009 through 2016. The affected models include the Audi A6, A7, A8, Q5, Q7, Volkswagen Touareg, and Porsche Cayenne. New diesel versions of these vehicles have a stop-sale. Audi offered owners of affected vehicles the same $1,000 Goodwill Package that parent company VW offered to its affected diesel owners. The money is split up into a $500 gift card and $500 to spend at the Audi dealer. The package also comes with extended roadside assistance. Audi needs to find a solution quickly because it's under a 45-day deadline from the California Air Resources Board to submit a recall plan for the 15,000 vehicles with the 3.0 TDI in the state. The automaker also must include a report on any effects to fuel economy and performance from the proposed repair. Related Video:

Matt LeBlanc nearly runs over cameraman during Top Gear shoot

Mon, Apr 4 2016

Matt LeBlanc almost caused a bad start to the new season of Top Gear when the former Friends star narrowly avoided running over a cameraman. The new host reportedly needed to take a few hours off afterward to get his head together, according to The Mirror. An unnamed Top Gear insider tells the British tabloid that the near tragedy happened while filming in South Africa last month. During a break in the action, LeBlanc decided to take a drive in a Porsche that the show was reviewing. What he didn't realize was that a cameraman was laying on the ground shooting static footage sports car. Another cameraman saw what was happening and got LeBlanc's attention to avert the crisis. "It was one of those instances where, if the tracking man and Matt had reacted even a few seconds later, it could have been really serious. Both of them appreciated what a lucky escape it was," the source told The Mirror. While everyone was okay, the incident reportedly left LeBlanc upset. He needed to take a few hours off to regain his composure and checked to make sure the cameraman wasn't injured. Top Gear announced LeBlanc as a new cast member in February, and welcomed him with a drive in a convertible Reliant Robin, which wore a Stars and Stripes paint scheme. The show's recent trailer highlighted more of LeBlanc's trip, and the car definitely had some problems. Top Gear returns in May to televisions in the UK. There's no word yet on a US premiere date.
