For Sale is my 2001 Porsche 911 Cabriolet. This car is my daily driver and for an 11 year old car still looks sharp!!!
The Porsche 996 chassis is known to have issues with the intermediate shaft failing. Although, this was more prevalent in the earlier 996's it did happen later as well. Unfortunately, my car became victim to the IMS failure and required a full engine overhaul at 86K miles. The overhaul included the following and also included the upgraded IMS. For anyone buying a 996, I would recommend, if the IMS has not been upgraded by the manufacturer to consider the $1000 upgrade to mitigate any worries about the IMS failing. One less issue to worry about with this car.
Overhaul was completed on 3/22/2011 by UFO Motorsports Porsche Specialist in California. The engine installation was performed by Reeves Porsche in Tampa.
The rebuild cost $8,539.81 not including the install which including the initial troubleshooting of $2,921.50.

Cons:
Passenger seat has tears - can be re-upholstered (purchased seats as upgrades on ebay but did not install immediately. Realized later that the passenger side had water damage and leather was very brittle. Unfortunately, I didn't notice that when I first purchased them. The seats cost me $800 with shipping.
Washer fluid has a leak (warning light indicator will stay on). Fluid container will need to be replaced.
Check engine light will stay on because of air intake upgrade. Common issue when upgrading the air intake. Check engine light can be reset, but usually after a week or so it will come back on.
Front bumper has nicks from road particles/debris. Most of my driving is interstate driving.
Car is a great car to drive and lots of fun. Handles beautifully as expected from Porsche. I have been on the fence about selling it, but I have decided to get into a newer 911 and unfortunately can't keep two cars.
Please, I will only consider serious inquiries. No joy rides.
I can be reached at 727-421-9280 - usually late afternoon is best to see the vehicle. The vehicle is located in St. Pete Beach, Fl.

Porsche wants you to 3D print your own Cayman
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Have you got access to a 3D printer? Well lucky you, because as we're rapidly learning, the possibilities are virtually endless. And if your tastes lean towards the automotive (as we'd assume they do if you're reading this page), we've got good news.
Porsche has just released 3D printing data for the Cayman S so you can three-dimensionally print out your own and customize to your heart's content. Now Porsche hasn't specified just to what scale the data will allow you to print your Cayman, but we have a feeling that'd mostly be limited by the size of the printer at your disposal. Check it out in the video below and follow the link to the Porsche site to download the file.
Watch Porsche legend Jeff Zwart frolic in the snow in his 356
Wed, 14 May 2014Racing driver Jeff Zwart picked up a 1953 Porsche 356 Pre A to use as a historical prop in a Cayenne commercial, then decided to keep it when the filming was done. Then, explaining to filmmaker Will Roegge that his vintage toy does really well in slippery conditions, Zwart throws it around in the Colorado snow - on pencil-thin studded tires on 16-inch wheels - to prove the point.
Don't expect roostertails in this winter wonderland video, however; with just about 60 horsepower at sea level, gumption drops to about 40 hp when playing at 9,000 mountainous feet. But that's still plenty to work as a testament to the phrase, "If you've got it, flaunt it," and you can watch it below.
The hottest modern sports cars rendered as rally racers
Thu, Jan 14 2016The modern-day World Rally Championship a monumental amount of fun to watch – I should know, as I recently was lucky enough to head to the UK to watch WRC Wales Rally GB – but even the most monstrous of the current WRC cars are based on fairly pedestrian European hatchbacks. Back in the heyday of rally, the Group B era in the 1980s, much hotter cars were the basis of even more incredible competition machines, for the most part. Take the exotic Ford RS200, or the Lancia Delta S4 with its twin-charged engine. And the hatchback-based Group B cars were bonkers, too. So what would some of our favorite modern cars look like if Group B had never ended? A British site named CarWow hired an artist to reimagine everything from the Rolls-Royce Wraith to the Porsche 911 as a retro-inspired rally car, and they were kind enough to let us share the results in the gallery above. The gallery features an Alfa Romeo Giulia in Martini livery, an Audi TT in classic Ur-Quattro colors, a Fiat 500 Abarth sporting massive flares and a hood blister full of auxiliary lights, a new Ford Mustang in RS200 livery, a Lancia Delta in Alitalia colors, a Porsche 911 in Rothmans livery, a Renault-Alpine in classic blue, a Rolls-Royce Wraith tribute to the Jules cologne Corniche Coupe, and a relatively modern-looking VW Touran. So far, the favorite around the office is the incredible Mercedes-Benz S-Class that is an homage to the wonderful 300 SEL 6.8 AMG "Red Pig" that essentially put AMG on the map. Check out the gallery above and see which one you like the best. Related Video:
