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.

Remembering Porsche's illustrious Le Mans history
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Not only does this weekend mark the running of the 82nd 24 Hours of Le Mans, it will also see the return of one of the race's most venerable brands to the top tiers of endurance racing. Porsche will campaign its first top-flight car since the 1998 911 GT1-98, the 919 Hybrid, at this weekend's race, in the hopes of knocking off its corporate rival, the dominant Audi team.
To understand just what a win for the 919 would mean, though, you need to look back on the intrinsic connection between the Circuit de la Sarthe and Porsche. It's a history that spans decades, dating back to the team's first win in 1970.
XCar has a great video on that history. At 25 minutes, it's a bit on the long side. Then again it is the Friday before Le Mans. Take a look below for the video.
2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Think of the electric motor in the facelifted 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid as the cream filling in an Oreo cookie. Under the hood of this plug-in hybrid crossover is a 333-horsepower, supercharged 3.0-liter V6 with a 95-hp synchronous electric motor sandwiched between it and an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. The clutched powertrain allows pure combustion, pure electric or a combination of both to drive all four wheels through Porsche's permanent all-wheel-drive system.
Differentiating itself from the Panamera S E-Hybrid sedan, which shares the same basic powertrain and stores energy in a 9.4-kWh battery, the Cayenne crossover is fit with a more robust 10.8-kWh lithium-ion battery that delivers an estimated pure-electric driving range of up to 22 miles at speeds of up to 78 miles per hour.
To be one of the very first US media members to sample Porsche's latest fuel-efficient crossover, the automaker flew us to Frankfurt, Germany, to test the five-passenger Cayenne S E-Hybrid on its home turf.
Next-gen Porsche Panamera snapped running in E-Hybrid spec
Tue, May 12 2015The Porsche Panamera first debuted back in 2009 and underwent a facelift in 2013. That means the all-new, next-generation Panamera should be arriving in time for the 2017 model year, and here were have our first look at its plug-in hybrid variant. Following the last prototype spotted undergoing cold-weather testing in Sweden, this new Panamera test mule spotted in southern Europe appears to be running the E-Hybrid powertrain setup – judging, at least, by the presence of a second filler cap hiding what's likely an charging port on the left side rear fender. We'll just have to sit tight, however, to find out whether it will be packing an evolution of the existing powertrain or something entirely new. Though the prototype may look largely undisguised, those head- and taillight graphics look like stickers to throw us off the scent, and these do not appear to be production-ready body panels. Expect the finished product to look far more polished when it arrives sometime in the middle of next year, with the hybrid version to follow sometime thereafter.
