Porsche 944 Turbo S on 2040-cars
Glendale, California, United States
I am sad to see this car go as it has much sentimental value to me (drove off on my honeymoon with it, got me through 5 yrs of school, etc.) As such, I do not wish to see it taken apart and sold for parts. It has seen better days, but would be an excellent project car to restore or make a nice street/track car out of, or even to put an LS engine in.
The good:
Velvet Red 1989 turbo (which replaced the 944 turbo S and adopted the turbo S specs)
- adjustable Konis with adjustable spring perches in front to adjust ride height
- AOR trans with limited-slip differential and cooling loop
- 928S4 brakes and I added the factory 928 bias valve not normally found on this model
- new front and rear rotors, new Hawk HP+ pads front and rear
- 146,xxx miles on engine, but rebuilt head, H2O pump, belts, etc ~30k mi ago
- 968 rear hatch (stock one included)
- new front wheel bearings
- Weltmeister anti-sway bars
- KLA strut brace and cabin filters
- rebuilt throttle-body seals
- new throttle position sensor
- Vitesse chips
- Tial 38mm wastegate
- Siemens 55lb injectors (stock included)
- 3 bar fuel pressure regulator
- Bursch test pipe (stock included)
- SFR stage 1 stainless steel headers
- recent paint job
- newly rebuilt A-arms with aluminum bushings which will last a lifetime
- 968 caster blocks
- H4 euro spec headlights
- Accuboost manual boost controller with ceramic ball upgrade
- new battery
- fiberglass brake ducts which force air over the entire center rotor vent (with the splash shields removed)
- I also have large brake scoops to feed the ducts, but those are not installed
- factory Porsche European rear bumper with trim holes filled (makes the rear of the car look SOO much better)
- Car has multiple new seals (window scrapers, sunroof (and possibly door seals, but I can't remember now))
- Dash has only one very tiny crack starting at the rear corner of the passenger side airbag insert
The bad:
The car was running a few months ago, but I tried to start it yesterday and it would not start. The DME and fuel pump relays click, but I have not had time to troubleshoot it. I think the turbo is leaking oil, as shortly after startup, the crossover pipe smokes for a minute or two. I suspect that it will need to be rebuilt. The sunroof needs new gears installed (I will provide them with a box of extra parts I have for the car) It needs new wiring to the cooling fan ballast resistors, seats have tears, body shop left too much orange peel on hood, so I told them to respray it. They used a stripper which they must not have washed off all the way and/or repainted the hood in anger, so now the hood paint has peeled and needs to be resprayed. The exhaust stud nearest the firewall is stripped (thanks to the local Porsche shop monkeys) and will need to have a Time-sert or Helicoil installed. Tires are shot and current 18" wheels are curb-rashed and one has a bent lip. The left side blinker blinks fast and the airbag light needs to be reset. There are a couple scratches on the right rear fender, and the car needs foglights (see my other auction for factory European foglights). There is also some paint cracking on front bumper.
PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER AUCTIONS BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF OTHER PARTS FOR SALE. THANK YOU.

Porsche revisits the 911's dirty side with rally history film
Fri, 03 Jan 2014It might not be a coincidence that there are rumors of Porsche revealing a safari version of the 911 at April's Beijing Motor Show, just as the Dakar Rally is about to begin. Adding fuel to the dusty desert fire is a just-released official video of Jeff Zwart driving the Porsche 953 that Jacky Ickx drove to victory in the 1984 edition of the race.
In the video, the seven-time Pikes Peak International Hill Climb winner talks about how he grew up with the 911; it wasn't only the car he learned to drive in, it was his choice of racecar no matter whether the course was tarmac or the dirty stuff.
You can decide for yourself if these recent events are mere coincidence while you enjoy the 953's exhaust note in the video below. If you've got the time to see the 953 during its race-conquering drive and find out what the ersatz Paris-Dakar Rally used to be, we've also included a broadcast of that 1984 race below as well. Fast-forward to 19:44 to see the Porsches cross the open dessert and 29:09 to watch one of them tackle the dunes.
Porsche 911: Big in Taiwan
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Porsche is continuing celebrations for the fiftieth anniversary of its iconic 911. In its latest video, it's gone to Taiwan, to interview some of the folks that have grown passionate about the rear-engined sportscar over the years.
By and large, the views expressed in this video could have come from anywhere in the world. The 911 is a great car and that doesn't change from country to country. These enthusiasts have the same passion that fans in England, the United States or Germany have for the Carrera. Take a look below at the full video, to see what the 911 enthusiasts of Taiwan love about their 911s.
Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer
Mon, 07 Oct 2013An Iconic Sports Car, Restored to Seduce
I have been strapped behind the iconic Momo Prototipo steering wheel for a little more than an hour, all windows down as I carve my way up a rugged canyon during an unusually warm Southern California evening, and I am overwhelmed with emotion. My heart is pounding out of my chest, my breathing is heavy and my palms are sweaty because I am completely absorbed by this wondrous machine.
After waiting patiently for nearly four years, I am finally behind the wheel of a classic Porsche 911 restored, modified and tuned by Singer Vehicle Design. The vehicle that surrounds me never rolled off an automaker's assembly line in its current configuration, yet its physical appearance is timeless, build quality breathtaking and driving dynamics peerless.
