1977.5 Porsche 924 Automatic on 2040-cars
Iowa City, Iowa, United States
|
I have owned this 924 for around 4 years, and bought it as a project to fix up and drive on weekends for fun. I am selling it because I have medical issues that prevent me from further working on the car. The car gets compliments, looks good for its age, and is fun to drive. It's not the fastest car, and it's an automatic, so it's better suited for Sunday drives than the racetrack. It does handle corners well, however. The paint is faded and the clear coat is wearing off on the roof, but is not noticeable until you are close to the car. There is one area of rust in front of the passenger side door. This is a list of some of the things that have been done to the car since I have owned it:
New front brakes and calipers New muffler and exhaust work Aftermarket stereo with Alpine, MB Quart, and JL Audio components. Custom sub box replacing rear seat (the back seats in these cars is really a joke) New (refurbished) Alternator New (refurbished) Starter New fuel pump. The car had new tires on it when I bought it and they are still pretty new. It has had the engine replaced (by previous owner) with an engine from a like year and model. The car was maintained well by the previous owner and engine work was done by a professional shop. I have had the brake and exhaust work done at reputable local shops. I have stored the car in a garage during winters. I haven't been able to drive or work on it due to health issues and it has recently been taken out of storage after sitting for a year. I had a mechanic check the brakes and the fronts are still new and the rears have been adjusted. It runs well. The only issue is that the aftermarket alarm (installed by a local shop) is not functioning correctly. The immobilizer circuit isn't functioning correctly and has been bypassed. The rest of the alarm is still connected and either needs to be repaired or removed. I have driven the car over the last couple weeks a number of times up to 30 miles at a time and it runs fine, but with the alarm installed and not working correctly, sometimes you have to disable the alarm numerous times before it will start. For this reason I wouldn't attempt to drive the car regularly until the alarm issue is sorted out. If you intend to drive the car home, I would at least have someone in another car follow you home. A great resource for 924 owners is: http://www.924.org/ A Haynes manual and wiring diagram for the alarm will be included along with whatever paperwork I have on the service history. A couple things that should be mentioned: *The vacuum accumulator for the EGR valve is leaking so it has been bypassed. This does not affect how the car runs, but if you need to pass an emissions test, you may want to repair the leak. *There is a push button installed to manually activate the cold start valve/injector. Sometimes this injector shuts off before the car has warmed up and you may need to activate the circuit if you plan to use the car in cold weather. I have not had to use it, but have before it was installed had to wait the 15-20 minutes for the valve thermostat to reset before I could start the car. The switch just bypasses the thermostat and activates the injector. *In heavy rain, the seal to the sunroof will leak if parked on an incline. It doesn't seem to pool when the car is level. Disclaimer/payment info: This car is being sold as is. I have explained the condition of the car to the best of my ability. This car is 36 years old and I am not providing any warranty of any type.

2014 Porsche 911 GT3 [w/video]
Thu, 01 Aug 2013The Bearable Lightness Of Being
Start with a standard Porsche 911 Carrera and its 350-horsepower, 3.6-liter flat six-cylinder engine. Bore a crepe-thin slice of aluminum from each cylinder to get to 3.8 liters, add a wider track out back and two extra exhaust pipes and voila, you can append an S to the Carrera's name. Hang two sets of wet, multi-disc clutches along its spine and you can make that a 4, or a 4S. Bolt on two forced-induction compressors and piping, add two fender vents and comically wide rear tires and you've redeemed your ticket to a Turbo. Increase the boost pressure and swell the corral to 560 horses and you have the Turbo S, which is the Virginia Slims of the 911 line-up because it's come a long way, baby.
Or you can go in a different direction. At that second stop, grab the 3.8-liter and cart it over to the engineers at Porsche's development center in Weissach, Germany. If racing were meat, they would be among the alpha carnivores. The baseboards in their homes are probably painted with miniature billboards for motor oil and vintage cigarettes along the straights, red-and-white stripes around every corner.

Porsche LMP1 to use 4-cyl hybrid powertrain [w/poll]
Wed, 11 Dec 2013With the Formula One season - and indeed his entire F1 career - now behind him, Mark Webber took advantage of his early release from Red Bull Racing to try out the new LMP1 which Porsche is developing, undertaking the final test session of 2013 before Porsche throws it head first into the FIA World Endurance Championship next April. The session - which followed previous tests at Magny-Cours, Monza, Paul Ricard and the Eurospeedway at Lausitz - was held at the Algarve circuit in Portimão, Portgual, in collaboration with Michelin, which is developing the tires for the car. But that's hardly the news here.
No, the news is the first confirmation we've seen on the type of powertrain Porsche has developed for its new Le Mans prototype: a gasoline-burning four-cylinder engine with direct injection and two energy recovery systems. This contrasts sharply with the V6 turbodiesel and single electric motor used by Audi in the R18 e-tron Quattro (or at least the outgoing version) or the naturally-aspirated V8 and single electric motor found in the Toyota TS030. Flexibility in the rules set down by the FIA and ACO give the manufacturers that kind of latitude, prompting F1 teams like Ferrari and Renault to consider developing their new engines for Le Mans prototypes as well.
At this point Porsche isn't saying how large its four-cylinder engine is or how much power it will produce. But it'll be interesting, to say the least, to see how it fares against the Audi and Toyota in next year's championship and at Le Mans when it'll be piloted by Webber, former Lola LMP1 driver Neel Jani and Audi's own 2011 Le Mans-winning pair of Romain Dumas and Timo Bernhard.
