This is a '72 914 that I have built over the last four years to be a fun, daily driver/sleeper that will not attract too much attention, but will pull like a freight train when prodded. I have owned 914's back to 1983, seven total, and this is by far the most solid one. A life-long Calif. car, till shipped to Mich. for the conversion, it never had undercoat, so the original paint is visible on the pan. There is no rust in the floor, or rocker/long areas. Battery tray was removed, and located in the front trunk for weight balancing, and a simplified engine bay. The car was block sanded, and painted in base/clear Silver, to match original. Door shell interiors, and under floor pan were given coats of Waxoyl, a British sealer treatment to keep her rust free. The goal was to have a car I could hop in, have start instantly, and drive in whatever weather happened without worrying about her. Fuel tank was perfect, was cleaned, and sealed inside with an epoxy tank treatment. Rubber fuel lines are now braided stainless -6 lines. Windshield and rear glass were pulled for body work, and replaced by a pro, so no leaks. All lights and signals work, as do the emergency brake. Most of the cars rubber has been replaced with new, from 914 Rubber. All brake calipers are new in last four years, with new Mintax pads. New 19mm master cylinder upgrade, new 930 Turbo tie rods installed. Koni adj. shocks on rear, with 200 lb. springs, and Koni front inserts. Interior has new Perlon carpet set installed, and new dask cap. Seats are near perfect, as is the full interior. New, hi-output fuel pump, and Corvette filter, tank return installed. New brake fluid installed this May, and rear pad vent distance set. Three extra gauges installed in place of radio: oil pre., coolant temp, and voltmeter. The car has the Renegade aluminum radiator/fan set up, and runs under 180 deg. at all times. Aluminum tubing carries the coolant under the car to the rad. Pedal's have been rebuilt with bronze bushings, new clutch cable, Optima battery with billet battery hold down in front trunk. Mileage is correct, and odometer has been converted for the tire size, and gearing. Transaxle is a Renegade 4 speed conversion, with flipped tall gears in 3rd, 4th, and 5th, and was sent to Carlos at Bluesky for a full rebuild. Car has polished Fuch 4 bolt wheels, and a 5th with original spare mounted, (which has a lot of rash from curbing, but is functional). Tires are older Pirelli, but with full tread. Front and rear bumpers are fiberglass.

Engine is Chevy LS-1 from a '98 Camero, with original ECU gone thru to eliminate all un-needed stuff, wiring harness by Renegade Hybrides, as well as full LS install kit from Renegade ($3,000.) It starts instantly, runs quietly ,thru new pair of Walker Dynomax mufflers, but when you floor it, has gobs of torque, and is going 30 mph faster before you can react, even with the longer gearing. Cruising at 70mph is around 2700 rpm. At full throttle, the engine note is great, but no droning at cruise. This is a very nice clean driver; a few things remain to finish, and are: Tach is converted for 8 cyl, but need signal booster box wired in, (box included with car). Wipers have stopped working, but a complete wiper motor/assemble, also included. No heater or blower, due to the Chevy conversion, Renegade has kits for this, as well as air cond. if wanted. Some gear noise present in top gear despite full rebuild from Bluesky (build sheet, and receipts included with sale. I have a ton of hours in the car, and will answer any questions I can. call: 231-946-0724 Tom. Reserve is set low; once sold a paypal deposit of $500. must be sent within 24 hrs., and the balance paid via certified check or bank wire within 72 hrs.

2017 Porsche Panamera leaked looking sporty and sleek

Thu, Jun 23 2016

The Internet isn't very good at keeping secrets. Someone got hold of some images of the 2017 Porsche Panamera ahead of its official debut next week and leaked them online. While that's bad news for Porsche, it's good news for the auto-loving masses, because the next Panamera is pretty darn... pretty. While the overall shape of the next-gen Panamera doesn't stray far from the car it replaces, the details make for a more cohesive overall package than before. It's clearly a Porsche, and obviously a Panamera (look, four doors and a hatchback!), but it's no longer bulbous or ungainly. Lighting front and rear is inspired by the latest 718 models, and the sleek bulging hood is apparently hiding a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine. We expect a range of six- and eight-cylinder engines for production, along with a plug-in hybrid. Inside, the only analog gauge we see is a tachometer, helpfully placed directly in front of the driver. A quartet of digital dials flank the throwback tach, but we can't see much past that. There does appear to be a good amount of space for the rear-seat passengers, along with what looks to be a touch-sensitive control surface at the rear of the center console. We expect similar capacitive buttons for the front occupants, along with a large LCD infotainment screen. Take a look at the images above for an early glimpse at the 2017 Porsche Panamera. And stay tuned for all the details on June 28. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Which is quicker in the standing mile, a Subaru WRX STI or a Porsche Cayman?

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

The 2015 Subaru WRX STI and 2014 Porsche Cayman are both saddled with unfair reputations. The STI with its huge wing and gold wheels has the title of the ultimate boy-racer. On the other hand, Porsche brand snobs look down on he base Cayman as just a wannabe 911. In reality, they are both pretty fantastic performance cars. But what would happen if the two of them lined up at a stoplight, and maybe the guy in the suit in the Cayman started throwing some revs at the young man in the STI? Automobile decided to find out in a recent video pitting the two stereotyped hot rods against each other in a standing-mile drag race.
In terms of raw numbers, they are surprisingly close. Both use flat engines and six-speed manual transmissions here, but the Subaru has more power and torque. However, the Porsche makes up for it with 300 pounds less weight. Neither should have a problem with traction either thanks to the STI's sophisticated all-wheel-drive setup, and the Cayman's mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.
The comparable specs certainly show themselves in the real world for the race. We're not going to give away the winner here because it's too exciting, but let's just say the finish is very, very close. Scroll down to watch both of them shrug off their stereotypes and show off their real performance.

GoPro checks out Tokyo's automotive night life in 4K

Thu, Nov 6 2014

There's something bizarrely fascinating about Japanese car culture, especially around Tokyo. The metropolis packs people tightly together in a way that would seem to make owning any car tough. And yet, there's still enough enthusiasm around anything with an engine to support everything from wildly tuned bosozoku rides with exhaust pipes reaching toward the sky to seriously fast Porsche and Lamborghini models. To promote its latest Hero4 camera, GoPro has embarked on a short film series called Adventure of Life in 4K, and the latest installment goes inside Japan's speed scene with some gorgeous cinematography of vibrant vehicles rocketing through the city. It's all mixed over more serene images of Tokyo landscapes that combine to form a mini-documentary that's a feast for the eyes.
