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.

Porsche considering turbo for new GT3 RS [w/poll]
Tue, 03 Jun 2014Some automakers make one hardcore version of a sports car and are done with it. Or at least they make one at a time. Think Ferrari 458 Speciale, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (or Super Trofeo Stradale or Squadra Corse) or Maserati GranTurismo MC. But not Porsche. It transforms the 911 into the hard-core GT3, the even harder-core GT3 RS, the you've-got-to-be-psychotic GT2 and the do-you-have-a-death-wish GT2 RS. The RS models take things to a further extreme, but what separates GT3 from GT2 models has traditionally been the use of foced induction: GT3s are naturally aspirated, while GT2s go turbo. But that could all be about to change.
According to the rumors making their round of the webosphere, Porsche is considering using a turbocharged engine for the next GT3 RS. The reason is that, as we all know, Porsche has already pushed the 3.8-liter flat-six in the existing GT3 about as far as it can go, and then some. And buyers expect not only a more bare-bones package with the GT3 RS, but also a bit of extra power.
Given that everything seems to be going turbo these days, the move might make some measure of sense, especially if Porsche wants to avoid with the GT3 RS the spontaneous combustion issues it faced with the GT3. But we can't help but wonder why, at that point, it wouldn't just skip the GT3 RS and go straight for the GT2.
Porsche planning more plug-ins
Mon, Jan 5 2015Which automaker offers the most plug-in models in the industry? The answer may surprise you, because it's not Toyota, it's not Renault or Nissan or any other automaker that might spring to mind. The answer is Porsche, which already offers the Cayenne and Panamera in plug-in hybrid spec in addition to the 918 Spyder. And it could offer more in the near future. Speaking with Automotive News, Porsche's global sales and marketing chief Bernhard Maier spoke of the importance of plug-in range-extended models to the company's future plans. The 55-year-old executive, who endeavors to make his 56-mile round-trip daily commute from home to the company's headquarters in Stuttgart entirely emissions free, indicated that his company only plans to offer more plug-in models. Previous reports indicated that E-Hybrid powertrain in the Cayenne and Panamera wouldn't fit in the Macan, and that no such plans were in store for the Boxster, Cayman or 911. But when asked what Porsche had in store for the future, Maier replied: "We have a lot of ideas, but we have not approved them for production yet. The 918 Spyder shows that Porsche has the capability to produce very convincing hybrid sports cars." While clearly guarded, Maier's answer points to a future of more plug-in hybrid models from the storied German marque. All that remains to be seen is whether that will come in the form of a Boxster, Cayman, Macan or another new model altogether, like the rumored mini-Panamera dubbed Pajun or a mid-engined V8 supercar.
Mark Webber treats Maria Sharapova to a Porsche 918 Spyder joyride
Tue, 29 Apr 2014We don't much like Mark Webber right now. Part of being a racing driver is dealing with promotional stuff. It's not hard to find a driver that can't stand all this nonsense, whether it be promoting a product, meeting investors or attending some obscure event. Even a driver of Webber's caliber - a former Formula One driver for Red Bull Racing and a member of Porsche's factory Le Mans team - has to serve his time at the promo events.
Somehow, though, we don't think the Aussie driver minds this particular promo detail. In the video below, Webber attends the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart. He then takes tennis superstar Maria Sharapova out for a spin behind the wheel of the Porsche 918 Spyder. The level of jealousy at the Autoblog office is palpable.
Take a look below for the video. And as we're super jealous of Mr. Webber, hop into Comments and caption the above photo based on what you think he's saying to Maria. Bonus points if you can work "vegemite" into the caption.
