Additional photos and details may be added over the next couple days.

Mileage unknown, reads 58,000. Good running condition with freshly rebuilt 2 liter engine(new pistons/cylinders, main and rod bearings, cam, lifters, gaskets, valve guides, etc) Fuel system upgraded to Megasquirt with modern 43psi side feed injectors, Bosch 911 fuel pump and filter setup, moved to front under the gas tank, with steel high pressure line installed, but using the stock plastic low pressure return line, all tuned with Innovate's datalogging/tuning software.

15x8 rims look pretty good, but have blemishes from age. Entire body cleaned/repaired/painted. Re-lubed CV joints. New clutch, speedo, and throttle cables. No work was done on any of the running gear with the exception of the cv joints.

Has minimal interior. Windshield has crack behind mirror, but is on the inside of the glass, and has not grown for the past 8 years. There are many shops that can repair the crack if you so desire. Most of the undercarriage has been cleaned up and recoated.
Paint is new Eurocote urethane, but is race car grade. It was probably decided some time in the relatively distant past to change the car from it's original color of black, to white, due to the added fiberglass body kit. The doors have baby turbo mirrors.
Car was sitting in driveways for the past 20 or so years, with a chevy V6 and a Kennedy adapter kit sitting in parts in the front boot, but never installed. Previous owner/s eventually tossed the whole engine lot in a scrap pile somewhere.

I purchased a 914 engine and rebuilt it for this car.
The brakes are bone stock.
I spent approx. 1000 hours fixing this car up. Repaired rust areas at battery pit, and under seats.
Should be good to go for another 10 to 15 years.

I can provide and install at additional cost at end of auction, the below engines:
Subaru ej25 $2200 installed with megasquirt2 on stock 914 transmission, Horsepower improvement of about 90hp and similar weight.
Subaru eg33 $2800 installed with megasquirt2, but necessitates the use of a boxster transmission and clutch, axels, and shift cable mechanisms, so additional cost for that. This can add up to about 160hp above the stock type 4 engine.
Can also install boxster engine and trans set if you like, must negotiate price with salvage yard.
Also available:
Original 72 911S engine installed for $18,000, bolts direct to original 914 trans.
The above engine offerings do not include the engine that is in the car now. iow, I keep it.

These cars were designed for boxer engines. Don't ask if I will install your "V" type engine. The only exceptions I will make for other engine installs, are the Mazda Wankel engines, up to the 3 rotors, or a Lycoming type aircraft 4 cylinder boxer engine.

I, the seller, am perfectly capable of preforming any upgrade you might want to this, or just about any engine or car. There are regularly some really nice tube frame race cars shown here on ebay. The work done on any of those other cars is well within my skill range.

Porsche 918 Spyder goes ice drifting in Finland

Fri, Feb 13 2015

Along with the Ferrari Laferrari and McLaren P1, the Porsche 918 Spyder is one of the trio of hybrid supercars potentially defining the path for these rarified vehicles going forward. When thinking about high-performance machines like this, the mind usually goes to precise driving around a circuit or maybe along a beautifully undulating road... not so much in the snow. Still, this group has more than enough power to make it through a little bit of powder, and the 918 proves that at the Porsche Driving Experience winter camp in Finland. Although, the set of studded snow tires certainly helps. Even with the trick all-wheel drive system in the Porsche combining a mid-mounted V8 and electric motors, this 918 has absolutely no problem lighting up the rear end in the snow and ice. Even at relatively low speeds, just a blip of the throttle is all it takes for the back tires to step out. However, the handling still looks quite controllable. It's hard to grin as this rare supercar does the Scandinavian Flick to set up a perfect drift between the snow banks.

Porsche Macan spied, all lit up and dodging flurries

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

We've seen the upcoming Porsche Macan testing on surface roads and even on the Nürburgring, but here we have our first spy shots showing a disguised prototype doing some winter testing in snowy conditions. Still obscured by plenty of camouflage attempting to mimic its larger Cayenne sibling, we still can't get a clear look at what the Macan's face and rump are going to look like, although it does appear that some details for the front lighting are starting to emerge.
Below the headlights, those are obviously decals trying to look like turn signal lenses, but it appears that there is still some sort of lighting being hidden judging by the small circles cut into the camo. Lower in the fascia, we can also see there are LED running lights not revealed on past prototypes. The entire rear end of this Macan prototype still appears to be tacked-on camo, but the side view appears to be in production form save for the poorly disguised rear quarter windows.
As we've seen in the past, Porsche engineers are still testing the Macan alongside the Audi Q5 with which it shares its platform. There has been no word as to when we could expect to see the Macan in production or concept form, but we'd have to guess that this compact crossover is getting ready to shed its camo very soon.

UK Porsche GT3 owners are irked that other countries are getting better deals

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

Porsche 911 GT3 owners in the United Kingdom are up in arms, but it's not for the reason you might think. Okay, well it sort of is. See, it's been fairly well documented that 911 GT3 owners have had their cars grounded over concerns that the engines could catch fire. Porsche is rushing to build and install replacement engines in all 800 or so cars, scattered around the globe.
This isn't really the issue. The problem for these British owners is compensation. While the car's have been grounded, car notes still need to be paid. To deal with this, American GT3 owners are being paid $2,000 per month. German owners get 175 euros ($242 at today's rates) per day while a GT3 owner in Dubai is allegedly receiving $12,000 (it's unclear if this is a lump sum or a monthly payment). Basically, if you aren't able to drive your six-figure super car, you shouldn't have to pay for it. Seems reasonable regardless of the make.
British owners, though, aren't being compensated, and for 30 to 35 owners, that's not acceptable. They've banded together and are led by Sunil Mehra.
