1987 Porsche 944 on 2040-cars
Norfolk, Virginia, United States
|
Gold 1987 Porsche 944. It has its original paint. Overall, the paint looks nice. The body itself is great shape. It is nice and straight with no dents. The car is light and nimble and handles like a dream. The engine pulls hard and the 5 speed manual transmission shifts well. The interior is in great shape and looks good. I installed a new Panasonic AVH-X3500 BHS touchscreen head unit including an iPhone cable, an HDMI cable and telephone mic. I have been using this car as a daily driver. It handles like a dream and gets excellent fuel mileage. A very fun car to drive. A true driver's car that is a blast to take through twisty roads. The car comes with the original steering wheel and an older MOMO steering wheel. Also comes with a Porsche 944 specific car cover. It also comes with a brand new spoiler for the back if you want to swap out the original one. I am unsure of the true mileage on this vehicle. The odometer was broken when I bought it from the previous owner. I immediately fixed the odometer so it is properly working. The items on this car that I have not fixed are as follows: 1. The power steering rack has a small leak. I never bothered to spend the money on it since I just regularly check the fluid level and add more when necessary. 2. The gears for the targa top work to vent it open but do not work to fully remove the targa top. 3. The rear hatch window struts need to be replaced. 4. The rear hatch window has pulled slightly out of the gasket running alone the top of the window which is a common problem for 944's due to the stress that the hatch window struts place on the glass. I covered the top of the hatch window with clear helicopter tape to properly seal it. 5. The paint is original. It is in good shape given the age but there are several cracked paint spots on the car. I have had all the work done on the car by LMN Motorsports in Virginia Beach. I have all of the work records since I bought the car. This car has had a ton of work put into it.

Techart modified Porsche 911 Turbo S packs 620 hp, 0-62 in 2.8 seconds
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Considering how many absolutely ridiculous tuner cars are featured in Geneva (stay tuned to see plenty, as our coverage continues), it's often refreshing to see some of the more modestly modified cars, like this new Porsche 911 Turbo S from the folks at Techart. Visually, there's a subtle body kit, new wheels, a new spoiler, and some lame decals on the front end, but it basically ends there. That's because Techart's mission is really about higher performance. Increased dynamism, as the Germans say.
An ordinary 911 Turbo S produces 560 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. But the Techart kit adds 60 hp and 96 lb-ft to those already high numbers, for a coupe that dishes out a total of 620 hp and 612 lb-ft. Techart says that, in Sport Plus mode, its modified 911 Turbo S will accelerate to 62 miles per hour in just 2.8 seconds, and the top speed has been increased to 204 miles per hour. Crazy stuff.
To further drive its performance upgrades home, Techart has fitted this 911 Turbo S with a sport exhaust system with valve control, for a more robust exit interview, at the push of a button. We imagine it sounds awesome. Have a look at the Techart Turbo S in the gallery, above.
Former Top Gear crew starts filming for Amazon show
Wed, Oct 7 2015We might have only a hint at the name and no exact date for a premiere, but fans can celebrate that Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May are filming once again. Plus, it looks like every cent of Amazon's reportedly lavish budget is being put on the screen. A photo tweeted by Clarkson shows the three hosts standing proudly in front of a Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari, and McLaren P1 at a racetrack. Clarkson jokes that the show has just a "skeleton crew" but behind him stand several dozen people, a sophisticated-looking camera rig, and two big trucks. This definitely looks worth the anticipation of the premiere on Amazon Prime next fall. Hammond tweeted the same picture and wrote: "The band is back together and it feels brilliant."

Intriguingly, it appears that fellow British auto journalist Chris Harris is currently filming at the same track. He tweeted a photo to Clarkson of the McLaren doing a very smoky slide, while being followed by the other two hypercars. The Porsches in both photos wear the same red-and-white number 3 livery and have the same license plate number. In a later message, Harris was also clear that he wasn't filming there in connection with the trio's Amazon show. This content is hosted by a third party.

Auto journalist ordered to pay big money for blowing up Porsche 917 engine [UPDATE]
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Racecars blow engines all the time, but a Porsche 917 isn't just a run-of-the-mill racecar. British automotive writer Mark Hales reportedly borrowed a 917 from 82-year-old former Formula One racer David Piper for a magazine article, and mechanical tragedy ensued. Nobody is arguing that the engine failed after being spun to 8,200 rpm. However, Hales was warned not to exceed 7,000 rpm, says owner Piper, and the affair landed in English courts with Piper seeking £50,000 - over $79,000 US - in reimbursement funds for an engine rebuild and loss of use of the car while it was being repaired. Judge Simon Brown ruled in favor of car owner Piper, putting Hales on the hook for £110,000 ($174,000) including legal fees - a whole lot of money in any language.
Hales says the Porsche suffered a mechanical fault while lapping that allowed it to slip out of gear and over-rev. Piper wasn't convinced, and sought to have the repair paid for by the guy who broke the racer, saying "If you bend it, you mend it." It's not like Hales is a novice driver, having seat time in both professional and amateur races over 30 years, notching about 150 wins, but even the best drivers sometimes miss a shift, and that's what Piper contended happened to his car.
According to reports, Hales has had to sell most of his valuables to pay his lawyers and is now facing bankruptcy with the ruling against him. Members of the Pistonheads website are trying to coordinate a collection to help him out, as well.
