This is a 1978 Porsche 924 built by Bill Katz (Katz Klassics)in the mid 90s.  I visited with Bill, a well know car builder, before I purchased the car last year.  Bill said he put the "best of the best" in the car for his wife to race at the track.  You can check out his e bay store and his website to see some of his items.  Bottom line is this car was built by an expert and is a ton of fun to take to the track.  I wanted to get started in road track driving and found the car for sale last year in Minnesota.  I invested some money to go through the brake system (replaced rear brake hoses), 4 wheel alignment for the track and had a general overall tune up to run at the track including; New Inner Wheel and Outer Wheel Bearings and a new strut to replace one that was leaking.  This car had no problem passing track inspection and I ran it last September.  
Visiting with Bill regarding what he put into the car, he recently told me:  Turbo fuel pump, Audi 5cy turbo 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 tube 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
  • MSD wires 
  • Platinum Plugs
  • MSD Coil
  • Motor painted to match the color of car
  • Very little rust - must have been stored over the years
  • Manual fan switch
  • BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires - Same tire Bill put on the car in the 90s.  They have plenty of tread left.
  • Roll Cage
  • Working turn signals, lights and brake lights
I will also include RARE 14" Hoosier race slicks that have 3 laps on them, a total of five additional tires for track use that are basically NEW.  I purchased from a dealer who witnessed the three test laps run in Wisconsin.  From the pictures you will see extra rubber that the tires picked up because it was a very hot that day but they basically have 100% tread on them as you can see from the pictures.  Each of these tires would retail around $200.00.  I stored the tires off the rims for the winter in a climate controlled environment.   In addition, I will include 5 extra original Porsche rims.    Tires and wheels are shown in pictures.  I put a reserve on it but it is rather low.

Really looking forward to running this car at the track this summer and don't want to sell but I need to make room for the other toys.  It is a great car to get into road track with.  Handles great and has enough speed to keep it interesting. 

Terms of Sale,
SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY PLEASE!  PLEASE DON'T BID UNLESS YOU HAVE ALL THE MONEY.  VEHICLE SOLD AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY FROM SELLER.  $500 DEPOSIT MUST BE SENT BY BANK WIRE TRANSFER OR PAYPAL WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTION END.  FULL PAYMENT MUST BE MADE WITHIN 7 DAYS OF AUCTION END.  BUYER TO PAY ALL SHIPPING COSTS.  NO REFUND ON ALL DEPOSITS, ALL SALES FINAL.  
I HAVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION IF CAR IS SOLD LOCALLY BEFORE AUCTION END.

Porsche 918 Spyder recalled over bad wiring harness

Fri, May 22 2015

An investigation of customer concerns has led to a global recall of the Porsche 918 Spyder, including 223 units in North America. The carmaker said that a carbon fiber component can damage a radiator fan wiring harness, so it is contacting owners directly to have their cars brought in for a service inspection. The issue affects cars built through the end of April 2015; cars built after that use a revised design. Dealers will remount the wiring harness, a process that should take half a day. You'll find more information in the press release below.

Porsche has issued a global recall for 918 Spyder models that have already been delivered. This precautionary recall for a service inspection affects 223 vehicles in the United States. This is because the electric wiring harness for a radiator fan in vehicles manufactured up until the end of April 2015 could be damaged by a carbon-fiber component. The wiring harness will be examined and optimally remounted in the work shop. The cause was identified following a detailed examination of inquiries. Corrective measures have subsequently been taken in manufacturing. The owners of the affected vehicles will be contacted directly by Porsche Cars North America. The service visit, which will be free of charge, will be arranged as quickly as possible and the inspection will likely require the vehicle to be left in the shop for half a day.

Porsche in Paul Walker fatal accident was traveling over 100 mph before crash

Fri, 03 Jan 2014

The Porsche Carrera GT involved in the November crash that killed Fast and Furious star Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas was traveling at speeds above 100 miles per hour before Rodas lost control for "unknown reasons," according to a report from the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office that has been acquired by The Hollywood Reporter.
Once control was lost, the Porsche spun, hit a curb and then impacted a tree and a light post, then it spun 180 degrees and hit another tree before erupting in flames, the report said. Neither Walker nor Rodas were under the influence of any drugs or alcohol at the time of the incident, according to toxicology reports conducted by the coroner.
As for the future of the Fast and Furious franchise, a separate by The Hollywood Reporter claims director James Wan, writer Chris Morgan and Universal Studios will move forward with the seventh installment in the franchise, which was only partially completed when Walker was killed.

Are you the Porsche Pajun?

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

The prospect of Porsche building a smaller version of the Panamera has been an on-again, off-again proposition as the German automaker seems to go back and forth on the project. Last we heard, Porsche had pushed back the so-called Pajun (shorthand for Panamera Junior) until 2019 at the earliest, but we could be looking at it right here.
The automaker's everything-but-automotive division Porsche Design is working on a luxury condo complex called (simply enough) Porsche Design Tower. It's been three years in the making and will take at least another year or two to complete, but the gist of it is that the 57-floor building will include 132 apartments, each with its own en-suite garage in which the residents' cars will be parked thanks to giant elevators.
Porsche Design released a series of renderings showing what the property will look like once complete. Most of the renderings feature Porsches, of course - production models you can find in any of the brand's showrooms, like the one just 23 miles away in Coral Gables. But one of the renderings of the giant glass elevators shows something rather unusual.
