Modesto, California, United States
|
PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS Engine and All Mechanical Hello and welcome! My name is Mike and Im selling my beloved 1983 Guards Red Porsche 944. I have owned this car for a little over 3 years now and have done pretty solid restoration on it. I first purchased the vehicle with a blown head gasket and it had a few oil leaks. I have a shop so i decided to pull the motor out of the car and do a full rebuild. The rebuild included all of the following and MORE but i may forget a thing or two. Full top end head gasket kit (comes with tons of new seals for a top end rebuild), Full bottom end oil pan kit(same thing comes with many seals to rebuild lower block).87+ oil pan and baffle, Oil cooler kit. Main bearings, rod bearings and nuts, piston rings. I also had the transmission replaced with a low milage one because the other transmission had a bad pinion ring. The CV Axles where rebuilt also at the time or transmission swap. The fuel filter was replaced and the fuel pump as well. All new fuel injectors and a FULL tune up. Ignition Coil, Magnacore Wires, spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor and air filter all replaced. New Fuel pressure regulator and fuel pressure dampener. Updated 87+ exhaust headers. New Motor mounts, New DME temp sensor and coolant temp sensor, New radiator and hoses.New Starter Silicon Vacuum line Kit so all vac line are new. Front and Rear Koni Yellows and the front have coil overs on the by ground control. The front and rear rotors are slotted and have good brake pads. Timing Belt and Water pump and all dollars and tensioners have been replaced within 5k miles. Lasso Pump and Gates belts with Porsche rollers and tensioners. The clutch is SACH brand and has about 40k miles on it. Shifts smooth and is in great operating condition. Also has new Master and Slave cylinders. Red throttle response Cam.The exhaust is stock but i did have a Vband installed so i can make it a straight pipe within 20 minutes. Currently it has the Cat on the car and yes it passes smog beautifully! Will come with a REAL Stainless steel 2.25 inch pipe with Vbands already welded so its like a straight forward swap. Front wheel bearings are new and the Manuel Steering Rack has been rebuilt new inner and outer tie rods and boots. Welmister Bushings on the Control arms and new Porsche bushings on sway bars. The car comes with the FULL ROUGE TUNING KIT. Look it up if you don't know what that is. It will come with an original and functional ECU and AFM. The car is set up for California heat so i have the 71*C thermostat and sensors in the car so it runs cool. I upgraded the radiator fans to the later style 6 bladed because its much more quite than the 3 bladed. Also has new hood liner in black.The oil is 20w 50 Valvaline R! Racing oil with High Zinc and it has a porsche filter on it. There is more but I'm forgetting it. All of this has been done in over the corse of 3 years. Ive driving this car to Oregon and Washington with NO ISSUES, I've also driven it to L.A in summer and never had one issue. Its a great car for being 31 years old! Interior and all Ascetics The interior had good condition leather/cloth seats. I REPLACED them with seats from an 86 turbo, no rips and the leather is soft. The carpet is pretty black still and not crackled. The rear trunk carpet and the PORSCHE script door panels are from an 83 and ad a nice touch to the car. The rear top half of the seat i Took out but it has a PERFECTLY OPERATING cargo net! Ill install it prior to sale. The headliner has been replaced and it has a Manuel sunroof. The rear hatch is from an 83 turbo and dose not rattle and closes like it should. The lights in the Dash have been replaced and they all work, even the center console. I have 2 steering wheels one is the MINT original 3 spoke and the one installed now is a MINT Momo prototipo with a NRG 2.5 gen Quick release hub. The Shifter boot is new and the bushings inside of it also. The exterior paint is an 8/10 THIS IS NOT A GARAGE QUEEN! I DRIVE THIS CAR Everyday! I love it! The paint has a few chips in the front and the occasional scratch but is very Verrrry presentable and again I'm picky so to some this may be a 9/10 for exterior. The car sits on Original 15x7 and 15x8 Staggered Fuch rims in a RSR style finish. It has Falken Sincera Tires with 90% tread life. There rated for 80k miles.I had the Camshaft tower Powdercoated and the intake manifold. I always get compliments and its a very presentable car. Reason for selling and things to be looked at The reason I'm selling my 944 is because i want a 1986 944 turbo in guards red with black leather and fuchs. I drove my friends turbo and fell in LOVE all over again. Im not selling it because its not running or its going to blow up. This is a very well maintained car! Some things that should be addressed by the new owner are that the A/C blows Kind of cold, so I'm assuming it will need a recharge BUT it uses R12. Ive put a thermostat on the vent and it'll get down to 77*F but in a 100* summers heat you'll be a little sweaty to be honest.The odometer is broken it needs a new gear (944online its 20$)The other issue which i have taken precautions for is the lower Balance shaft. I replaced the cover because the bearing was worn in there when i first bought the car and did not know at the time that they are block specific so you'll need to find a 83 cover and get it machined a few thousandths to have it fit properly. I have reinforced the pick up tube and i locktite all respected bolts and nuts. Ive NEVER had any issues with oil pressure and i know serval people online who also don't have a Balance shaft belt on there car and have never had issues, just replace the motor mounts every 60k miles like they should be and you'll be fine. If this is an issue for you then look for another 944. I have priced it according to this factor. I have plenty of receipts that i will supply with the car and even have the original Manuel, Also i have tons of extra parts and tools that ill throw in, like the timing belt tools and fly wheel lock and extra spark plug wires and what not. IF i get my asking price i will have the car Professionally detailed, buffed and waxed also and i will fill the tank for you. Car is being sold as is.

NFL draft recruits to get Porsche 911s for fastest 40 times
Thu, Feb 5 2015It's fair to say the NFL Combine is a big deal for players entering a draft. Their future quite literally comes down to a series of drills. You a defensive tackle? Better rock out on the bench press. Hoping to be the next great wide receiver? Your vertical better be awesome. And what of the running backs? Well, few drills match the importance of the 40-yard dash. That particular drill will have a renewed importance not just for the RBs, but for other skill positions at this year's Combine, as the three fastest times will be gifted a shiny new Porsche 911. Adidas is offering up the three cars, which ESPN reports are valued at about $83,000 a piece. That means these new recruits won't be rolling around in a Turbo or GT3. They will, however, sport a questionable sense of design, as the German shoe company has fitted a cheetah print, which is meant to match one of the company's new trainers. You can check both the car and the shoe out above. NFL fans, meanwhile, should feel free to head into Comments and let us know who you think will take home a new 911. Related Video:
Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Mercedes-AMG, Porsche and Koenigsegg Lego sets coming this summer
Sun, May 5 2024Lego has announced a slew of new automotive-themed sets. As is typical fashion for brand of building toys, the subject matter leans toward ultra-exotic, ultra-expensive vehicles, ranging from a $139,000 Mercedes SL63 on the low end to a $3 million Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut on the high end. If you can't afford those cars in real life, soon you'll be able to build your own plastic models of them. Some of the real-world counterparts aren't obtainable no matter what the cost. Take the Lamborghini Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo, for example. The one-off concept was designed by Lamborghini exclusively for Gran Turismo, the PlayStation racing simulator. However, Lamborghini did build a 1:1 version for the physical world, with the 808-horsepoewer hybrid V12 from the Sian FKP 37 beneath its bodywork. The Lego version is part of the company's Speed Champions line, which measure about 6 inches long. It does an excellent job of capturing the original's insectoid look and Y-shaped taillights. The set is made up of 230 pieces and will retail for $26.99. This is Lego's first Vision Gran Turismo car but we hope to see more. Also joining the Speed Champions line are two 2-car sets. An Aston Martin-themed set pairs a Vantage safety car with an AMR23 Formula 1 racer. Both are finished in AMR's bright green with actual sponsor logos. The set contains 564 pieces and will cost $44.99. Also arriving as a 2-car set are a pair of Mercedes-AMGs. A black G 63 and yellow SL 63 Roadster, along with a pair of sunglasses-clad bros, make up the 808-piece set. It also retails for $44.99. All three Speed Champions sets arrive on June 1, 2024. If you're looking for something a bit more advanced and detailed, Lego also offers the Technic line. First up is a Porsche GT4 e-Performance, a 1,000-horsepower race car based on the 718 Cayman. This set can also function as a remote controlled car that moves forward, backward, and steers via a downloadable smartphone app. The 834-piece set costs $169.99. Last but not least, there's the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, a model of the Swedish supercar that is said to have a top speed of over 300 mph. The model does an admirable job of capturing the car's 0.278 Cd drag coefficient, considering it's comprised of 801 individual plastic bricks. This set will retail for $49.99 and, along with the Porsche, comes out August 1, 2024. Related Video LEGO Speed Champion Build: 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback
2015 Porsche 911 GTS widens your rear-engined choices
Fri, Nov 21 2014"Porsche needs to offer more versions of the 911" is not a phrase you'll hear uttered often. Not with 15 versions already in the catalog. But with the opening of this year's LA Auto Show, Porsche has introduced four more to bring the total up to nineteen variants. And more are no doubt on the way. What you're looking at is the new Porsche 911 GTS, which has grown from one model in the previous generation to four. Buyers will be able to choose between rear- or all-wheel drive and between coupe and cabriolet body-styles, but either way they'll be looking at a 3.8-liter flat six with 430 horsepower. That slots it in between the base Carrera and the GT3, but unlike the hardcore latter, it can be had with choice of manual or dual-clutch transmission – bringing the available configurations of 911 GTS up to eight. Spec the DCT and you'll be reaching 60 in as little as 3.8 seconds, but the pleasure won't come cheap: prices range from $114,200 for the rear-drive coupe to $132,800 for the all-wheel-drive cabrio, plus another $995 for delivery. But for that much scratch you also get the Powerkit, Sport Chrono package, wider track, lower suspension, Xenon headlamps, Alcantara trim, 20-inch alloys and more all thrown in as standard.
