1978 Porsche 924 Track Car. This car is track ready, tech inspected and recently ran at Brainerd,MN International Raceway. Built by Bill Katz (Katz Klassics) in the mid 90s near Pittsburgh. Bill is known for his work on European cars and built this car for his wife to drive at the track. Built with many upgrades to engine, transmission and suspension. I visited with Bill about the car before I bought it and he said he built it with the "best of the best". Procar by Scat race seat and race alignment/setup make for a fun car to get into track time at BIR. It's also street legal. Bottom line is that this car was built by an expert and is fun to drive at the track.

I have five new RARE 14 inch Hoosier race tires and five Porsche rims worth well over $1,500 that I am willing to include.

Purchased the car last summer and went through the brake system, new inner wheel and outer wheel bearings and a new strut to replace one that was leaking. This car had no problem passing track tech inspection. I visited with Bill regarding what he put into the car, he recently told me: Turbo fuel pump, Audi 5cy trubo fuel pressure valve regulator, throttle body was ported out, adjustable cam gear, Ansa exhaust system off turbo model. He also lowered the car with a spring kit. Other details I know about the car: 2.0 single overhead cam, long tume headers, Wiseco Pistons 0.50 over, 79 transmission for shorter gear ratio, KYB shocks, Procar by Scat Race seat, 5 point harness and OEM 3 point on driver and passenger sides (for ride a longs), MSD wires and Coil, Motor painted to match the color of car, very little rust - was stored most of its life, BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires - same tire Bill put on in the 90s. Plenty of tread for cruising the town, Roll Cage, Working turning signals, lights and brake lights. (Note: headlights must be turned up manually and the windshield wipers don't work) I didn't fix either because I didn't need either to run at track.

Really looking forward to driving this car this fall but need to sell. Great opportunity to get into a track car for very little money.

Please email me with any questions.

Thanks for looking.

Here's what Jay Leno will be working on in 2016

Tue, Dec 29 2015

Jay Leno always has a project or five underway in his garage, and since 2015 is practically over, his latest video offers a glimpse at some of the amazing vehicles we might see his team complete in the coming year. Leno's crew certainly has a lot to do next year. Leno's most impressive current undertaking is an effort to modernize a 1914 Detroit Electric with about ten times its original power output. He showed off the vintage EV as just a shell in his last tour of the garage, but his team has now recreated the wood body. They also started the project's bigger challenge of installing a new electric motor and lithium-ion batteries from a Nissan Leaf. If EVs don't interest you, Leno has plenty of other irons in the fire, too. There's a 1971 Porsche 911 that's under restoration to turn it into a solid driver and several motorcycles in various states of repair. Leno even welcomes viewers into his dyno room to check out the work on the Chrysler V8 for his Cunningham. The results of this wrenching and welding on these projects should make for even more compelling videos in 2016.

Watch the incredibly complicated operation of Porsche's new targa roof

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Despite Porsche having claimed the name, targa tops are nothing new. In addition to the semi-roofless version of the 911, plenty of cars in the past have used removable roof panels - the new Corvette Stingray has one (as have prior generations), and this type of open-air experience has been available on past vehicles like the Pontiac Solstice Coupe and Honda Civic del Sol.
But when Porsche took the top off its brand new 911 Targa here at the Detroit Auto Show, it was indeed cause for pause. Simply put, this is one of the most complicated and intricate electronic roof panel removal techniques we've ever seen, save perhaps, for the setup found on the Japanese-market Civic del Sol from the 1990s.
We won't spoil the video for you, but basically, rather than just the roof panel coming off, the entire rear glass area lifts away the body in order for the small section over the passenger compartment to slide back. This has to be incredibly expensive to repair once it inevitably breaks. And we highly doubt you'll be able to operate this mechanism at any speed.

Porsche recalling 24,500 Panameras for a potential HVAC coolant pump issue

Tue, Feb 14 2023

A possible coolant pump problem for the HVAC system is causing Porsche to recall 24,467 units of the Panamera from the 2017 to 2020 model years. Bentley's recalling 650 examples of the sibling 2020 Continental GT for the same issue. Porsche was notified of a malfunction in the external heat pump for the Panamera's climate control in December 2022. An automaker investigation found that it's possible for excess humidity or even liquid to get past the pump seals and short out the pump's circuit board and connector. In rare instances, the malfunction could cause a fire. This can happen even when the engine is turned off because the cars in question are equipped with a residual heat function that keeps warming the cabin after shutdown. Panameras built after July 26, 2021 were fitted with a different pump. The Stuttgart carmaker's field analysis showed "a very small number of instances of thermal damage possibly attributable to this issue." Bentley changed the part in July 2019 to a model with a pressure compensation seal. Porsche said it will begin notifying owners on March 27. It also said it will reimburse any Panamera owners who have paid to have the part fixed previous to this recall. The fix is a trip to the dealer for a new pump with better sealing, sourced from a new supplier. Bentley will begin notifying owners on the same day. In Bentley's case, though, the automaker says "A hardware change will be required but the final solution is currently under investigation and cannot be confirmed at this time." Since the automaker moved to a new pump that isn't part of the recall population, we aren't sure why a resolution remains under investigation. Porsche owners can contact Porsche customer service at 800-767-7243 and refer to internal recall number APA1. Bentley owners can call 800-777-6923 and refer to RE23/02 (RC67). Anyone in that group can go straight to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration at 888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or nhtsa.gov, citing campaign number 23V033 for the Panamera or 23V034 for the Bentley.
