 Rare Burgundy metallic 944 Turbo.

We bought this 944 with a second engine to be put in. After trying for several hours to drop it in from above, we gave in and took the entire front end out and lifted it in from below. After we got that far, I lost my second mechanic, my son, to girls and social life.

We have everything needed to finish this car, I just do not have the energy to do it alone.

We put in a newly rebuilt original turbo that was reworked to spool up at 1500 RPM and reduce turbo lag. As we prepared the engine, we installed a complete new set of timing belts, pulleys, and rollers. We have a complete set of Lindsey hoses to complete the job. You can see some of the hoses. They are in blue. The car had been a race 944 when we found it. It has the 911 Turbo wheels with a set of race tires. It has a short shifter installed as well as the limited shift rear end, and transmission cooler. It has 5 point restraint race seats in place. The engine is actually a 1987 engine, so it has an oil "temperature" line on the wiring that will not be used. It came with a set of Lindsey chips. I bought a set of high output fuel injectors. Once these are installed, Lindsey can program the chips to maximize the fuel ratio.

I wish I could finish this and see it drive, but I have other cars waiting to get into the garage shop.

Watch Jeff Zwart drive his Porsche GT3 Cup Turbo at Pikes Peak in 4K

Fri, Jul 10 2015

There are always fantastic videos documenting the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb, but 2015 is giving us an embarrassment of riches. After seeing clips from some of the record-breaking runs this year, possibly the very best is here somewhat belatedly after the rally. Watching master Porsche pilot Jeff Zwart wind his fire-breathing 911 GT3 Cup Turbo up the mountain was definitely worth the wait. Already no stranger to success at Pikes Peak, this year Zwart won the Time Attack 1 Class with a run of 9:46.243. To make the feat more exciting, his Porsche was outfitted with cameras to perfectly capture his entire race up the course. The external shots truly convey a sense of speed and show how the mountain goes from tree-lined at the bottom to rocky with patches of snow at the top. The film's sublime production shouldn't be too big of a surprise, though, because Will Roegge was director, editor, and among the camera operators for the video. In 2014, he put together a great, short documentary about Zwart's preparation for the mountain and the run, as well. This year was yet another success. At a breezy 4.5 minutes, this clip is definitely a must-see, and the entire thing looks and sounds fantastic no matter how your experience it. However, if you have the capability, the video is also available in 4K. Switching over to the high resolution really makes it possible to pick out all of the gorgeous details. Related Video:

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
