Porsche 944 Turbo (951) clean and nicely modded for street & track / HPDE
1987 Porsche 944 Turbo (also known as the 951). This is a very nice, driver-quality '44, not perfect but nicer than most! It has had a recent good quality repaint in the original Zermatt silver. The interior is in very good to excellent shape for its age. Leather is very nice, just some slight patina on the side bolsters as would be expected. Most everything works as new, the heat is hot, the A/C blows cold.
The previous owner had recently done the timing belt, balance shafts, water pump, and tune up. Car has been modified tastefully with good quality components from Lindsey Racing, one of the foremost 951 tuners in the country. I'm told it has an upgraded turbo from a later 944 Turbo S model, along with adjustable boost, boost enhancer, shimmed wastegate, big blow off valve, tuned chip, and a big exhaust, straight thru to the Magnaflow muffler. I can say with certainty it hits HARD when it comes on the boost, definitely not for a beginner! It's one of the strongest 951's I've had the pleasure of driving. The clutch hooks hard as well, and this car is equipped with the fairly rare and very desirable Limited Slip differential.
Suspension is a very well sorted collection of components: Weltmeister blade-adjustable swaybars, some of the best available for Porsches. KONI double-adjustable front struts, threaded for ride height adjustability as well, with Eibach ERS coil over springs in a very well chosen spring rate for track and HPDE events without being too harsh for street use. KONI 2812 aluminum threaded body rear shocks with Eibach ERS coilover springs designed to be used in conjunction with the factory Porsche torsion bars, which have been re-indexed at a lower ride height. Alternatively, if the buyer wants a more street-oriented ride, I'm happy to swap in a set of KONI yellows (adjustable) and H&R springs, which ride a bit smoother. The car currently sits on a set of 18x10 Turbo Twist replica wheels shod with half-tread Kumho XS tires, size 245/35 front and 265/35 rear. Fenders were rolled to accommodate this much larger size, and grip is fantastic with them. The car has a fairly aggressive alignment as well, which has the side benefit of allowing a bit more clearance. It is also equipped with some good dual purpose, high performance Porterfield brake pads.
As for apologies, there are a scant few, less than you would expect for a car of this vintage. But in the interest of full disclosure:
Seats show some mild wear and patina
Driver side rear view door mirror has been replaced with incorrect glass
Hood has a slight twist to it from years of having a worn out hood shock on the passenger side (which I replaced)
Dash has a few small cracks at base of windshield (not extremely noticeable, and easily fixed with a dash cover)
Steering wheel patina- it's a nice Momo Monte Carlo wheel, and feels great to the touch, but visually shows some wear
Airbag light on because of aftermarket Momo steering wheel
Turn signal doesn't self-cancel
Driver side door lock works with the key but not the electric lock button
Horn doesn't want to honk
Overall, this has been a very fast, very fun car. It is suitable for autocross, track events/HPDE, and daily driving too. It has been very reliable for me, and I hate to sell it, but I've got too many toys and need money to expand my business, so it's time to find a good home for it.
Please: Serious buyers only. No joyriders, be prepared to provide a good home for this. They don't build em like this any more, and I don't want to see it abused. Take care of it and it will take good care of you!
Asking $8500 OBO. Trades considered.

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars
Tue, 20 Nov 2012Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
Porsche's baby Panamera delayed until 2019 or later
Tue, 15 Jul 2014If you're enticed by the idea of a Porsche sedan but find the Panamera to be too big, your hopes may have been raised by the development of the so-called Pajun. But don't get those hopes up too much, because the latest word coming in from the Old World has it that the Panamera Junior has been delayed.
The Pajun was (and theoretically still is, despite tardiness) a project to apply to the Panamera the same winning formula that Porsche used to transmute the Cayenne into the smaller Macan. Its size would be closer to the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class than the larger Panamera, and employ an array of six-cylinder engines.
The smaller five-door was set to be the cornerstone of Porsche Product Strategy 2018, a plan that included several new models to be launched within the next four years. However, reports now indicate that the Volkswagen Group is counting on Porsche to help bolster its profits and is not keen on investing in new products at this time, pushing the Pajun and other projects back until 2019 at the earliest. Although much of the strategy remains undisclosed, it is believed to include (or have included) a sub-Boxster sports car and a supercar to slot in between the 911 and the 918 Spyder. There was also talk of a shooting brake version of the Panamera based on the Sport Turismo concept pictured above. What will become of those projects, however, remains to be seen.
Are you the Porsche Pajun?
Mon, 17 Nov 2014The 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.
