This is your chance to get a nice 914 at a great price if you are willing to do some work. The car is nearly complete, about the only parts needed to finish it are an ignition switch electrical section and the heater flap control cable and the short heater hoses that run between the heater valves and body. The car will also need some wiring work done, the harness is good but some of the wires need sorting out. The headlights and most of the other lights work, so do the wipers, the turn signal and horn wiring needs attention. The new fuel pump needs to be hooked up, and you will probably have to install a new ignition switch electrical section. I bought the car seven years ago and know that it has been sitting for at least a decade, it was a rolling chassis when I bought it and was missing a lot of parts including the speedometer so I have no idea what the real milage is. The motor last ran about a year ago when I had it in another 914, it has twin Brosol Solex 40 mm carbs with electric chokes, and it also has hydraulic lifters and cam, it is a very quiet engine that only has about 200 miles on it. The side shift late model transmission shifts nicely but I cannot vouch for it working 100% as I have never had it in a running car. The rear shocks are KYB gas, the rear brakes need to be reassembled and installed, the front brakes are rebuilt and the master cylinder is a new 911 type. The tie rod ends are new and so are the wipers, the tires are all good but need balancing and are not matched. The upholstery is serviceable but not perfect, the carpet is new and the pedal cluster has been rebuilt with bronze bushings. The passenger side inner door weather strip is in need of replacement and a couple of other weather strips are in not-perfect shape, the front trunk bulkhead seal and the front targa seal, the rest are in good shape. The car is solid with no rust in the floor pans, rockers or hell hole. The paint has runs in it that don't show up well in the photos, they might color sand and buff out but it may need to be re-shot on the passenger side. I need to sell this car now, otherwise I would have finished it, currently it is registered non-op. I have a trailer that the buyer can use to move it, and I also have a large stock of 914 parts, if the new owner needs anything I have in the first six months I will provide it for free, including a transmission. The radio is junk, and there are no speakers, and the right rear tail light has some sun cracks. The starting bid may seem high but it is less than I have into the motor alone, I hate to have to sell this car now but need the cash. The picture of the motor out of the car show a different exhaust system and starter, the car has a new starter and muffler. The photo of the car in bare metal shows the original color, yellow.

Porsche acquires Kyalami race track at auction
Mon, 28 Jul 2014With more victories under its belt than any other manufacturer, you could say, in a figurative sense at least, that Porsche owns countless numbers of race tracks around the world. But here we're not talking about figuratively owning a track - we're talking about literally buying one. And Porsche has just bought Kyalami.
Kylamai, for those unfamiliar, is a grand prix circuit near Johannesburg in South Africa. Between 1967 and 1985, and again in '92 and '93, it was home to the South African Grand Prix, and has since hosted a variety of local and lower-level international races, but apparently fell on hard times. As a result, the track's owners - listed as Universal Property Professionals - put it up for auction. Bidders had to deposit four million Rand (about $380k) to participate, but after just 50 seconds, the auction was over.
The winning bid was placed - via telephone from the local press launch for the Macan - by Porsche South Africa CEO Toby Venter, who bid a reported 205 million rand (about $19.5 million) to take over the complex. The German automaker's South African division reportedly intends to keep the track open for racing, but could also be expected to use the facility for testing, customer track days and such moving forward.
Alonso wants an NSX, but did Honda block him from Le Mans?
Tue, Jan 20 2015One of the biggest changes in store for the 2015 Formula One World Championship will see Fernando Alonso moving back to McLaren. That means he'll be driving under Honda power for the first time, after spending the bulk of his career driving for Renault and Ferrari. And being Honda's new poster child, as the two-time World Champion is fast discovering, has its advantages and its drawbacks. According to the latest reports, Alonso had been negotiating a clause in his contract with McLaren that could have seen him driving a Porsche 919 Hybrid at Le Mans this year, but Honda reportedly stepped in at the last minute and scuttled the plan. The drive would have been Alonso's first in the famous 24-hour race, after having had the honor of waving the flag at La Sarthe last summer. In one of the wilder rumors that emerged during the prolonged silence over his move for this season, the Spaniard was also linked to a potential return for Ferrari to Le Mans. That prospect came to naught, and now the Porsche deal has been wheeled into the garage, as well. The upcoming F1 season is expected to be one of transition, adjustment and development for McLaren and Honda, but the Japanese automaker's involvement in his hiring may not be all bad news for Alonso. Following the reveal of the new Acura NSX, Alonso tweeted "You still don't know, but one day we will be together..." followed by a series of heart-eyed smiley-face emoticons and accompanies by images of Honda's new supercar. The implication is that the two-time World Champion is expecting to get his talented hands on an NSX of his own, and we can certainly see how Honda would appreciate the imagery of Fernando driving around in its flagship. Even if it doesn't, though, we're sure McLaren would be glad to hook him up with a company car of its own – though Lewis Hamilton encountered some trouble securing (a very specific) one for himself. Even discounting the front-running F1 machinery he's been tasked with piloting on track to an impressive 32 career wins, Alonso has had some lustworthy company cars at his disposal over the years. At Renault, he had a Megane RS to drive, and during his last stint at McLaren, he had an SLR 722. But since signing with Ferrari, he's been given the keys to FCA models as varied as a Ferrari FF, a special 599 GTO, a Maserati GranCabrio, a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT and an Abarth 695... and those are just the ones we know about.
Porsche goes karting in its Cayman GTS
Sun, 03 Aug 2014Think Mini is the king of Go-Kart Handling[TM]? Well, you might be mistaken, as Porsche proves here it's fully capable of delivering a driving experience that'd fit in quite nicely on a go-kart track.
Using a new and very red Cayman GTS, the Stuttgart-based manufacturer invades a kart track in northern Italy and sets the mid-engined sports car loose to slip, slide and zip its way around the circuit. As far as videos for Sunday evening go, this one ticks all the boxes.
Take a look.
