 Up for auction is a 1997 pontiac Sunfire Almost completely redone. This car is a first place show winner, adult owned,
and garage kept.
The Pros on this car:
   It has a new motor, with 3700 miles on it. It was replaced a few years back. When the motor was replace a few obvious
things were replaced also. Upper motor mount, full tune up, upper and lower radiator hoses, oil. the motor is stock with
the exception of the cold air intake and header. The car exhaust system has been almost completely replaced except the mid
pipe. New Header, expansion pipe, flowmaster 40 series muffler that splits into dual rear exhaust tails with chrome tips.
It has a new rack and pinion also.The car has new brakes and calipers all the way around.The calipers and drums have been
 painted red. the car has new 18
inch wheels and tires, the tires have good tread on them. the body of this car also features new panels. New front
quarter panels, new rear wing, new hood, new front and rear bumper, new side skirts and mirrors. the car was completely
taken apart and painted black and red. The red racing strip is unique with an out of the ordinary design bringing it to
a point on the nose contouring the hood instead of the traditional rectangle look. The stripe also has metallic in it
which pops when the sun hits it. The interior was redone in black and red also. The door panels, headliner, and center
console have been done in crushed velvet which also pops in sun light. the windows are tinted 5% all the way around except
the front windshield. The Mirrors feature led lights which can be turned on and of by a toggle switch inside. The headlights
have been replaced with new ones that arent foggy and have an led light bar at the bottom of each like some of the newer
cars. The headlight bulbs have been upgraded to an HID set up which are much brighter. The stock headlight wiring was not
tampered with for inspection reasons. You simply pull out the HIDS, put the stock bulbs back in and boom, no inspection
issue. You simply put the HID bulbs back in when you get home and your rolling in style and staying legal. The car is
also equipped with a night rider led light bar in the nose which can be removed without interfering with the body of the
car which is also controlled by remote and has 7 different lighting setups. The car also has LED light bars underneith
which is a very cool look at night. Its a multi color set up and has 11 different options. It can be controlled by either
the control box mounted in the center console or remote. The car also has led turn signals up front and led brake light
in the wing. Now for the stereo system in this car. This is my sickest creation yet! starting in the front of the car and
working back it features a 220 amp alt which is 130 amps over stock.Plenty of charging power there. An Isolater box which
charges the two batteries the car has, one up front, one in the truck, individually so one doesnt kill the other. Very
important piece to have when doing a dual battery setup. inside we have a Kenwood Head unit that is high powered, changes
colors on the face, cd, aux port, and USB to allow you to play your phone or mp3. it also has a remote. The door speakers
are Kenwood mids, highs, and crossovers capable of 300 plus Watts. in the truck we have a Kicker 12 inch Solobaric box
with 2 subs in it. Pushing this box is a 2000 watt D class Alpine amp. this amp is at 1/4 gain and rocks my chest when
playing songs. At 1/4 gain theres plenty of room for more power output but I cant handle anymore. There is also a smaller
Alpine amp pushing the mids and highs which produces 300 to 500 watts. There is a sec battery in the trunk along with a
Tsunami capacitor. Just a safe guard for the system to keep it at peak power but is probably overkill. The lights on this
car dont flicker, blink, or anything when playing the system. The stereo system has several fuses in the lines for safety
to you, the car, and the system. The car does still retain the spare tire under the dimond plate cover in the trunk.

*****THE YELLOW TOP BATTERY IN THE TRUCK IS GOING TO BE REPLACED WITH A NEW STANDARD BATTERY!****

  now for the cons:
the nose of the car has some small stone chips in it. not many. also there are some barely noticeable stress cracks in the
fiberglass. A cart I beleive scratched the back in a small area by the fuel door. (a pro, This car has no dents at
all. I showed that in the pictures). the left side mirror glass was replaced after falling out with a cut to fit which
is split around the edges. thats an inexpensive replacement, 5 dollars or less. the head liner is sagging in one spot
due to me rushing to finish the head liner for the last show it was in. again, easy fix. some areas on the back deck, and
seat belt still need to be painted black and the sun visors arent finished. I beleive thats it and as I said the car is
95 % finished! this car runs great, is great on gas, and has never given me a problem after the motor was replaced. its a
head turner all day! Its a conversation starter also. Ive had people ask what kind of car is it? who makes it? etc.

 Im selling this car and my truck because I want a new toy. Im in the market for a Corvette and dont have the room to keep
them or the money. Oh, the car also has LED light bars inside under the dash that flash in sinc with the exterior lights.
Im seeling this car for a reserve price of $5500. OBO. A $500 dollar non refundable deposit is required at this auctions
end so serious bidders inquire. I AM OPEN TO BEST OFFERS so send me a message and it will be considered. I reserve the
right to end this auction at any time due to the car being sold locally also. I am also willing to take the car up to 30
miles to meet a buyer with an addition 25 dollars for my gas and time. any questions feel free to send me a message
and happy bidding.

Porsche Sports Car Together Fest is a labor of many Porsche loves

Sat, Sep 17 2022

Over Labor Day Weekend, Porsche held its second annual Sports Car Together Fest (SCTF) at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We happened to be nearby, so we swung by to check out an event we’d never heard of until a few weeks before. Reading about it on Porsche's U.S. web site made us think it would be something like Rennsport Reunion for the Midwest. Turns out SCTF is just as much of a different kind of fun. The fest Tom MooreÂ’s the man behind Dark Horse Motorsports, the motorsport consultant for Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) PR. "People love Rennsport Reunion, but thatÂ’s every three to four years," he explained. “We wanted to gather people on those off years, and we didn't want to just do a mini Rennsport, because thatÂ’s its own thing. WeÂ’ve maintained the motorsport history at Rennsport. Here [at SCTF], we're doing the current look at what Porsche racing is for." In this case, that means gathering what Moore called "our Porsche motorsport pyramid." ThatÂ’s the range of enthusiast drivers from novice to hotshoes trying to get to top-tier endurance racing, "[starting] with the progression from Porsche Club of America track days up to the top of the ladder of one-make racing in North America," the Carrera Cup North America, a series made up of nothing but the latest 500-horsepower 911 GT3 Cup cars.  The three days of racing action allowed almost any kind of Porsche owner interested in clipping apexes to compete around an Indianapolis Motor Speedway layout tweaked with an infield section. This year, that included ex-NASCAR star Jeff Gordon, coming out of retirement to reunite with his longtime NASCAR crew chief Ray Evernham for the top-class Cup races.  Evernham told us Gordon hasnÂ’t raced in five years and he hasnÂ’t been a crew chief in 22. On very short practice, Gordon finished in 14th in the Pro Class in the first Carrera Cup race of the weekend driving the #24 Hendrick Performance Group Porsche, and 11th in the second race. Afterward, he said, "I made a pass on the white flag lap. That made my whole weekend Â… I must say that yesterday, I thought ‘man, I am getting beat out hereÂ’ and I donÂ’t like that. If I am going to be in an environment like this, I want to be competitive. But today turned the corner for me. So, I hope I get to do another one day."  When we strolled the paddock after the event, exposed sheet metal proved "Rubbing is racing" is a thing in the Carrera Cup as well as NASCAR.

GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected

Tue, 20 May 2014

General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years

GM recalling 1.4 million older vehicles for oil leak fire risk

Tue, Oct 27 2015

General Motors is recalling 1,411,332 older vehicles with its 3.8-liter V6 yet again due to a fire risk. Specifically, there are 1,283,340 of them in the US, and the affected models are the: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue 1997- 2004 Buick Regal The fault with these vehicles is that oil can drip onto the hot exhaust manifold during hard braking, which can potentially cause of fire. In the last six years, there have 19 reported minor injuries from this problem but no crashes or fatalities, according to the company. Spokesperson Alan Adler also told Autoblog: "GM has reports of 1,345 fires in vehicles that were repaired under two previous recalls for this issue." At this time, GM is still developing a remedy for the problem. According to Adler, the company advised owners to park these vehicles outside for the previous recalls. "The cars can be safely driven. In cases where a customer reported an engine fire while driving, smoke was reported, which would be an indication of a malfunction," he said. This is GM's fourth recall for this problem since 2008, according to The Detroit News. At one point it was believed that aging valve cover gaskets allowed the oil to leak out and drip onto the manifold. A campaign in 2009 covered nearly 1.5 million of these models through the 2003 model year for the same issue. At the time, dealers installed new spark plug wire retainers as a fix.

GM is working on a remedy. The company is aware of post-repair fires in some vehicles but no crashes or fatalities. There have been 19 reported minor injuries over the last six years. These vehicles with 3.8-liter V6 3800 engines are affected: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala, 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina and 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue and 1997-2004 Buick Regal. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total population is 1,411,332.
