Porsche 914 2.0 Rare Ac Car, Custom Seats And Stereo. Great Daily Driver on 2040-cars
Bradenton, Florida, United States
1974 Porsche 914 with 2.0 engine This project car that my son
and I have been working on for over a year has to go because we are buying a
house and need the money for the down payment.
This car is going to be a great car when done and is about 80% complete. Check out the pictures on my website www.thewebdoc.com. We have cleaned, and restored the interior,
replaced the seats with custom designed seats.
These seats cost over $700 to have made and really dress up the car. The steering wheel has been painstakingly
restored and the instrument panel has been sanded down and painted red to add
contrast. Mechanically the car is
great and starts up and drives great.
The goal was to use this as a daily driver and park my Hummer
considering the price of gas is almost $4.00 a gallon. The car handles great and has new larger tires (less that 1000 miles on new tires). It also has the 911 style rims with New Porsche emblems on the center caps. The carburetor has been rebuilt and
adjusted. The manifold gaskets have been
also replaced. The car has a new
battery. We customized the center
console and installed 2 high output speakers as well as replaced the standard
speakers in the kicker panels with better speakers. We also updated the sound system with a brand
new Pioneer stereo. The interior was stripped
out and any rust was taken care of and has been painted and sealed. On 4/19/14 we installed new upgraded carpet
with added sound proofing where possible.
Our goal was to make this car a daily driver and have been replacing all
of the necessary parts to make this car solid.
We have replaced the rubber gaskets in the targa top and window
edges. The seals in the front trunk have
been replaced. One of the most important
things we did was replace the seatbelts with new ones from a 928 so they are
better quality. The tires have been replaced
with new wider high performance tires. The
brakes and brake fluids have been replaced, along with all of the other engine fluids. In addition the car comes with a new master cylinder
that I was planning on installing it to improve stopping power. This car also has air
conditioning and all the parts appear to be included but at this time it is not
installed. That was going to be our next
project. Both the front and back trunks
are carpeted and the front one has been painted and the bottom has been treated
with rubberized paint to add some sound proofing. The hood has been recently been repainted and the Porsche crest has been added, and you can see by the picture how nice the car is going to look when the rest of the car is restored. The body is solid but needs to be sanded and repaired prior to painting it; this will never be a show car but can be made to look great and will be a blast to drive. This car will be a great car with a little more TLC. If we were not buying a new house it would not be for sale.

Porsche Cayenne GTS, base models revealed ahead of LA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Porsche unveiled a slew of refreshed Cayennes just a few months ago, but the base model (right) and high-performance GTS trim (above) were conspicuously absent from that list. There's no more reason to wonder about them, though, because the German brand plans to unveil both at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19.
Sitting below the Turbo in the lineup, the latest GTS still offers plenty of performance. It drops the previous version's naturally aspirated V8 in favor of a tuned version of the twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 from the Cayenne S for some added oomph. The tweaks bring power up to 440 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque, which is enough to rocket the model to 62 miles per hour in an estimated 5.2 seconds. The bump also equates to 20 hp and 39 lb-ft more than the current S and more importantly 20 hp and 62 lb-ft more than the previous GTS, according to Porsche.
In addition to the extra muscle, Porsche also decks the GTS out with some added features. It comes with a standard sport exhaust and Porsche Active Suspension Management system with an air suspension lets the chassis sit about three-quarters of an inch lower (20 millimeters). To bring things to a halt, the high-performance models also takes its brakes from the Turbo model.
VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel
Fri, 26 Apr 2013Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.
Porsche recalls new 911 models over exhaust pipe issues
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Porsche, though the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, announced a voluntary recall on about 2,200 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 models built during the 2012 and 2013 model years. On cars equipped with the standard exhaust system it was found that the tailpipes could separate from the mufflers and become dangerous road debris; models that added the optional sport exhaust system are not included in this recall.
Affected vehicles were built between March and November of last year, but there have been no reports of the problem on any customer-owned vehicles. Porsche first noticed a cracked tailpipe weld on a test vehicle back in May, and since then has found similar problems on other internally owned vehicles, all with more than 25,000 miles on the clock. To fix the problem, dealers will be replacing the mufflers. Scroll down to read the official notice.
