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.

Leno, Seinfeld and a Porsche 356/2 featured in latest CICGC
Sun, 19 Jan 2014In the latest kaffeeklatsch known as Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Jerry Seinfeld pulls Jay Leno out of his garage for a trip to Jones Coffee in Pasadena, CA. The NBC funnyman we've lately seen driving two guest Porsches in his eponymous garage this time takes the passenger seat in a 1949 Porsche 356/2, one of early all-aluminum, hand-built coupes - still in 100-percent original condition - built in Gmund, Austria and nicknamed "Gmunds."
The comedy veterans have known one another for 35 years, so the episode is rich with stories of The Good Old Days. Leno says it is also the first time he's ever had a cup of coffee, and for obvious comedic reasons they start with the civet-stained beans made famous in The Bucket List. You can watch Leno take his first sip below, and have you haven't heard the joke about the goat and the anvil, scroll on down for a listen to that and one or two more jokes besides.
