1987 Porsche 928 S4 Coupe 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Laurel, Montana, United States
I've had this car for about 2 years now. I got the car in rough to average condition for a fair price. I spent about a year fixing up all of its many issues. I have full documentation and plenty of pictures to show the work i performed over time. I'm an ASE certified tech that does his own maintenance so no worries about faulty work should arise. The exterior paint shines and looks great, however there is a large blemish (cracked paint) on the rear left tail light, (a result of a previous owner), and some small blemishes on the passenger door ( my own doing, on accident of course.) As far as what has been refreshed and rebuilt, some of the main accomplishments have been the 4 speed auto trans-axle has been swapped out with a rebuilt unit (has about 5000 miles on it). The brakes have been completely refreshed, all the way from a new master cylinder to completely rebuilt calipers all the way around, accompanied by drilled and slotted rotors. The park brake shoes have even been replaced. I've replaced and cleaned up a lot of components to give the underside a brand new look. I've installed solid aluminum steering rack bushings for a sportier and more responsive turning experience. I've also installed a high performance X-pipe (supplied by 928 Motorsports) and have no catalytic converters; so if you plan on buying this be sure to plan on getting those or checking the laws in your area. I've replaced all the vacuum lines with silicone lines. For those who know of it, i have the Porken Klamp installed on the drive line at the fly wheel (this ensures no drive-line creep will press on the crank shaft and wear the thrust bearing, a common issue with this model). I've done a little custom upgrade to the interior for a more modern look. This includes an aftermarket MoMo Italy steering wheel, a few polished aluminum pieces, a new leather t-shifter hand with new aftermarket leather boot, and a brand new sound system that includes 6 speakers and one 12" sub-woofer (sub-woofer supplied with its own amp, which is a part of a presentable box custom made with leather wrap to match the interior.) The sound system is controlled and powered by a Kvt-514 head unit with a 7" pop-out display and I-pod, DVD, or Sirius satellite radio capabilities (also navigation.) I've also converted all interior lights to LED's. This includes all courtesy lighting and module lighting (HVAC, Central warning, instrument cluster, and Pod bezels.) The dash has cracks but has a custom cover to hide them. The passenger and driver seats both function properly, but the driver seat has normal wear due to people getting in and out of the car. Rear tires and shock-absorbers have been replaced very recently. The engine has had some custom paint work done to it (refer to picture) along with a flawless silicone belly pan gasket that has been guaranteed to last the life of the car. I have many parts that go to the car (stock steering wheel, a few new parts I haven't got around to installing, and the Porken Lift-bars) that i will be adding to this sale; If i don't have the car then I have no use for these parts.The car sits on stock 16" wheels, and for the most part really is stock. So that leaves any room for someone to change it to their liking. I'm interested in selling because i'd like to try a 911 out for a while.

Mark Webber hospitalized as Porsche takes first WEC victory, Toyota wins championship [UPDATE]
Mon, Dec 1 2014It was a mixed bag for the Porsche team at the 6 Hours of Sao Paulo this weekend – the last race of its first season in the FIA World Endurance Championship. On the one hand, the German team took its first win since launching its LMP1 effort at the start of this season. On the other, its star driver suffered a massive crash that left him in the hospital. The crash occurred with less than half an hour to go when Mark Webber, who was running sixth in the #20 Porsche 919 Hybrid, lost control at Turn 14 at the Interlagos circuit – the same spot where he crashed his Jaguar F1 car during the 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix – and crashed tail-first into the barrier. Both Webber and Matteo Cressoni (driver of the #90 Ferrari 458 Italia with which Webber collided) were evacuated to the trackside medical center and were then taken to the nearby Hospital Bandeirantes. Both were reportedly conscious throughout but are undergoing further testing, described as being in "satisfactory" condition by the FIA medical official on the scene. The occurrence of the crash so close to the end of the race, and the time it took to clear the wreckage, meant there was not enough time for a restart, so the race was completed under the safety car. But when the field did cross the finish line, it was the #14 Porsche 919 Hybrid driven by Romain Dumas, Neel Jani and Mark Lieb that took the checkered flag – marking the first time that Porsche has won an endurance prototype race since 1989. Of course, that solitary victory was not enough for Porsche to take the title, which went to the Toyota TS 040 driven by former F1 drivers Sebastien Buemi and Anthony Davidson, who finished the race in second place ahead of the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro driven by the retiring Tom Kristensen and his co-pilots Lucas di Grassi and Loic Duval. Top honors for the season in LMP2 went to Sergey Zlobin for SMP Racing in the Oreca-Nissan, while Ferrari took the GT title. UPDATE: Mark Webber released the following statement on his condition: "I'm quite sore this morning, am pretty bruised and have got a stinking headache. I've got no recollection of the accident or how it happened. The team is looking into the details to find out more.
Lexus leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2021
Thu, Feb 18 2021J.D. Power's latest Vehicle Dependability Study is out, and, not surprisingly, Lexus sits at the top for the ninth time in the last 10 years. Right behind Lexus is Porsche, followed by Kia, which is the highest-ranked mass-market brand in the study. Genesis, last year's top-ranked brand (in its first year included in the results), fell from first to eighth, though the G80 sedan did earn an award in its midsize luxury segment. The Porsche 911 was called out as the Most Dependable Model by J.D. Power for the second time in the last three years. The vehicles being studied are from the 2018 model year, which means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's notable that this year's study shows a marked improvement in overall vehicle dependability as tracked by J.D. Power. The overall level of problems, scored by the number of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100), declined by 10% compared to last year. "The study results validate what we have known for some time," said Dave Sargent, vice president of global automotive at J.D. Power. "Automakers are making increasingly dependable vehicles — but there are still some problem areas that need to be addressed and some warning signs on the horizon." Tesla makes its inaugural appearance on the Dependability Study, though its score of 176 PP100 isn't official. Tesla is the only automaker that has chosen not to grant J.D. Power permission to survey its owners in all 50 states. As we've pointed out in the past, the Vehicle Dependability Study includes eight major vehicle categories grouped by J.D. Power as follows: audio/communication/entertainment/navigation (ACEN); engine/transmission; exterior; interior; features/controls/displays (FCD); driving experience; heating, ventilation and air conditioning; and seats. All issues reported by owners are all tracked equally, which means a problematic phone pairing procedure dings an automaker's rating the same as a blown engine or transmission. And in fact, the ACEN category has more reported problems than any other, which means the majority of problems reported don't lead to a vehicle that leaves its owner stranded.

Ferrari 458 Speciale vs Porsche 911 GT3 shows what Chris Harris does best
Thu, Nov 27 2014After a brief trip behind a pay wall, British auto journalist Chris Harris is back posting videos for free online, and shorts like this one are the perfect example of why his return is so welcome. Showing up at the damp Anglesey Circuit on the Welsh coast with the Ferrari 458 Speciale and Porsche 911 GT3, Harris ostensibly aims to find the better model. However, the final result really succeeds in showcasing the fun to be had behind the wheels of both supercars, particularly when initiating huge slides around the track. As Harris presents it, the vehicles get through the circuit in somewhat different ways The Ferrari is brash and "feels alive," as he puts it as it screams around the track. Alternatively, the Porsche is a bit more restrained, while still being able to show some emotion. In the end, it comes down to trying to get a controlled lap around Anglesey from this duo, but it's pretty clear that the times don't tell the whole story. If you're in the mood to watch two of the world's premiere supercars wag their tails in the wet, then this video cannot be missed.
