1987 Porsche 944 Turbo Coupe 2-door 2.5l on 2040-cars
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
This car is in great shape. It is one of my own personal cars that I am selling off. The 951 just never grew on me like my 911s did. Therefore I'd like to sell it off to invest I to another 911 car.
I'm unsure of how many owners there have been. The guy I purchased it from only drove it a few thousand miles in the 9yrs that he owned it. I've since put 3k miles on it just driving it to work in little of the year that I owned it. I never drove it in the winter. Things I have addressed since owning the car. I've replaced the following: DME relay Ignition switch Engine mounts with Lindsey racing solid mounts with custom water jetted hard foam disk to soften the vibrations. Oil cooler line Oem acc belts Sunroof gears (not installed yet) Front splitter Weighted bronze shift knob that's threaded. Gold gauge rings Re soldered the dme and klr New clutch Slave cylinders with stainless steel line Ball joints (not installed yet) 3" exhaust w/o cat R-134a conversion New position sensors Upper windshield washer pump Rear hatch struts Lindsey racing spark plug wires Msd coil Polk audio door speakers Sony head unit with aux input The bad things about the car: The a/c has a leak in it. I charged it and it lasted most of the spring/summer but has finally bled off. The sunroof gears need replaced. I have these that will go with the car. The passenger exterior door handle is hard to open. It does work but takes a Firm grip to open it up. Window washers don't spray. Can hear the pump kick on that I replaced but never looked into it any further. The paint has started to peel off only on the passenger side door bumper strip. Hasn't peeled anywhere else and there's no rust anywhere The dash is cracked. Very typical of these cars. I never found a non cracked dash in the time I owned it. The aftermarket steering wheel will be replaced with the oem steering wheel that it came with. I will also be putting the oem phone dials back on the car as well bc the 996 911 wheels on it belong to my 996 c2. I do also have a lot of aftermarket parts I never put on that I have for sale. The are the following: Gts headlight kit Rollbar Adj fpr 3 bar fpr Tial 38mm adapter plates and tial 38mm wastegate Pro flow maf kit brace Brey Krause R 1524 Oem stage 1 clutch disc Oem pressure plate Light weight flywheel I will be posting more pictures as I get some taken. These are just the ones I have this far. Any further questions you can text me at 513-302-6014 A 500 dollar non-refundable deposit is required with in the 48 hours of the auction end time. |

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Motor Trend hits Laguna Seca with Ferrari F12, Chevy Corvette, Porsche 911
Thu, 26 Sep 2013According to the crew at Motor Trend, we should think of the video below "as an addendum to Best Driver's Car," a test the magazine put together that elevated the 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S above all others in the category of driving joy. It seems the brand-new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray wasn't able to take part in the magazine's official test, and neither was the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.
And so Motor Trend did the only logical thing: It procured both the 'Vette and Prancing Horse as soon as it could, and put them both on track with the Driver's Car-winning 911. Of course, these cars don't actually compete against each other - the Ferrari offers up 731 horsepower and wears an asking price of $434,144 as tested, which means you could buy four loaded Corvettes for the price of one F12, and still have money left for a garage to store them in - but that's not the point of this particular test.
The point of this test isn't to listen to the beautiful sounds coming from the Porsche's flat-six-cylinder, the Corvette's pushrod V8 or the Ferrari's luscious V12, either, but the video below is worth watching for those three reasons alone. You know what to do.
1949 Gm?nd Porsche shows the birth of an icon
Fri, 21 Mar 2014The Austrian village of Gmünd is more than just difficult to pronounce; it's also the birthplace of the Porsche brand. Before the company ever started building sports cars at its current home base near Stuttgart, the fledgling business completed several vehicles in the tiny town in Southern Austria. In this video, former Pikes Peak International Hill Climb champion Jeff Zwart takes a look at a 1949 Gmünd coupe to see how the company has evolved since its earliest days.
The thing to note about the Gmünd-built Porsches is their absolute design simplicity. The phrase "form follows function" gets bandied around a lot, but it really means something when you look at these early cars. However, the minimalism was partially out of necessity. The vehicles were meant to be sporty but certainly weren't rockets. Power came courtesy of a modified Volkswagen Beetle engine, and anything extraneous would have slowed the models down. Scroll down to watch Zwart go back in time to Porsche's beginnings.
