Up for sale is my weekend fun toy!  I take this car to a couple autocross events per year, and one track day per year.  Last year was Pocono North, this year was Thompson Motor speedway.  Also will make a good daily driver, very reliable.

Mechanically very good condition, especially considering this is a 27 year old car.  It has limited slip differential, upgraded fuel injectors, stainless braided fuel lines, new fuel pressure regulator, mass air-flow sensor and chip upgrade.  In the last 3000 miles I’ve done: new pagid RS brake pads, stainless braided brake lines, dot 5, synth fluids, engine head, gasket, valves, guides, timing belt, bilstein front suspension, re-indexed rear torsion bars, new rear bushings, high-end mild track setup and suspension tuning done by Fairfield county motorsports.  Brake master cylinder done 5000 miles ago.  Two sets of tires, currently has the Toyo Proxy R888 R-compound track tires with only 3 heat cycles.  Numerous other work done as needed.  I have all paperwork and receipts.

It will probably need rotors all around within a year.  They are cross-drilled & slotted, and the slots are showing wear.  You will also need to swap the other tires back on for winter.  The pictures make the exterior look great, however there is extensive paint and clear coat peeling.  There is no rust, no dents.  Dash has a couple of cracks, seats are dirty but otherwise are in good shape with no rips or tears.

If you would like any additional pics, please contact me.  I require a non-refundable $500 deposit at auction end, and balance due in-person, cash-only.  I have the clean title in-hand.  I can be reached at ‘meldavey at gmail dot com’ or (860) 399 one eight four three.  Car is located in Westbrook, CT.

Porsche gives GT3 owners extra year of warranty, new engines in production April 22

Sat, 12 Apr 2014

While the auto industry reels from massive recall after massive recall, Porsche has quietly been working on a fix for an issue that's forced owners of the new 911 GT3 to park their track-ready rockets for fear of an engine fire. Thanks to a leaked letter from Porsche to a GT3 owner (which has been certified as real), we now have an idea of just where the German brand is at with the fix.
On April 22, Porsche will begin production of a new batch of GT3 engines for the 785 affected models across the globe. As you'll recall, the original issue rested with a screw joint that could loosen the connecting rod. The new engines have an "optimized piston rod screw connection," that should keep the connecting rod in place. Once technical validations are completed, production will kick off and new powerplants will be shipped around the globe for owners of the troubled cars.
Porsche will hand out a certificate to owners of affected cars once repairs have been completed, as a means of documenting the work. To make up for the trouble, Porsche will be giving owners an extra year on their new-vehicle warranty, while the 911 GT3 concierge will be reaching out to compensate them for having to park their car for so long.

The mid-engine Porsche backstory

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

As an automaker's identity evolves over years, its signature becomes defined by any number of factors - heritage (Mercedes-Benz), image (Lamborghini), or market share (Toyota). In the case of Porsche, it was an engineering quirk that forged the German company's most enduring character trait.
Porsche would not have survived - let alone, thrived - in today's saturated landscape had it not been for the 911, and that slope-tailed sports car wouldn't have sprung to life without its predecessor, the 356. While phenomenal success of those rear-engine icons built the company, forays into the mid-engine configuration have played a significant part in establishing the brand's identity.

The mood at this year’s Paris Motor Show: Quiet

Tue, Oct 2 2018

The Paris Motor Show, held every other year in the early fall, typically kicks off the annual cavalcade of automotive conclaves, one that traverses the globe between autumn and spring, introducing projective, conceptual and production-ready vehicle models to the international automotive press, automotive aficionados and a public hungry for news of our increasingly futuristic mobility enterprise. But this year, at the press preview days for the show, the grounds of the Porte de Versailles convention center felt a bit more sparsely populated than usual. This was not simply a subjective sensation, or one influenced by the center's atypically dispersed assemblage of seven discrete buildings, which tends to spread out the cars and the crowds. There were not only fewer new vehicles being premiered in Paris this year, there were fewer manufacturers there to display them. Major mainstream European OEM stalwarts such as Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Nissan and Volkswagen chose to sit out Paris this year, as did boutique manufacturers like Bentley, Aston Martin and Lamborghini. This is not simply based in some antipathy on the part of the German, British and Italian manufacturers toward the French market — though for a variety of historical and societal reasons that market may be more dominated by vehicles produced domestically than others. Rather, it is part of a larger trend in the industry. Last year, Mercedes-Benz announced that it would not be participating in the flagship North American International Auto Show in 2019 — and that it might not return. Other brands including Jaguar/Land Rover, Audi, Porsche, Mazda and nearly every exotic carmaker have also departed the Detroit show. Some of these brands will still appear in the city in which the show is taking place, and host an event offsite, to capitalize on the presence of a large number of reporters in attendance. And even brands that do have a presence at the show have shifted their vehicle introductions to the days before the official press opening in an attempt to stand out from the crowd. In many ways, this makes sense. With an expanding number of automakers, with diversification and niche-ification of models and with wholesale shifts that necessitate the introduction of EV or autonomous sub-brands, there is a growing sense that, with everyone shouting at the same time, no one can be heard.
