Garnet Red 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo (951): 116,xxx miles.
This car has an engine issue -- there is a knocking noise (possible piston slap), and has low compression on cylinder #2. This should be a considered a non-running car, but would be a great project for someone willing to do the work (either repair or an engine swap). I just don't have the time or interest anymore. I've had the car for about 6 years now, and am the third owner. It has always been garaged, has only seen rain by accident (it's not a daily driver), and has never been driven in the snow. This would be an excellent project for someone! THE CAR'S BUYER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PICK UP AND TRANSPORTATION. Considering that this should be regarded as a non-runner, it will be necessary to have the car transported. The good: I have every service record, in a binder, dating back to 1990. The car looks great. Except for some blemishes (listed below), the garnet red paint looks deep and lustrous, and in a rare, attractive color. The paint looks great -- it has a level of gem-like shine that is rare amongst 25 year old-cars!. Fuchs alloys! The interior is in fantastic shape. The beige leather upholstery is nearly flawless. Seats look and feel perfect. Seat electronics work perfectly. The black dash has only 2 micro cracks near one of the vents, barely visible (I'm serious: you can hardly see them) -- none of the dash cracks that plague most 1980s Porsches. The red carpets are worn, but still look good. Before this engine issue, he car ran great. Purrs like a kitten. While driving, the engine pulls strongly, the transmission shifts precisely, and the handling is impeccable. The car is FAST. See below for modifications, but it accelerates like a scalded cat, and pulls strongly in all gears. The car has pretty much brand-new Yokohama S-Drive tires: 205/55/16 front, 225/50/16 rear. Only 300 miles or so to date on these tires, which were installed Car had new clutch assembly professionally installed in 2009 (about 7000 miles ago). The car doesn't leak any fluids. Modifications Lindsey Racing Boost Enhancer 951MAX Chip Set Lindsey Racing 3.0 Bar Fuel Pressure Regulator Shimmed Wastegate Billet Aluminum Blow-off Valve New Vacuum Lines Strut Tower Brace The not-so-good Paint has a couple minor imperfections. Besides the typical stone chips, there is a spot on the hood where it appears that the hood was closed on a tool or something, and the paint is slightly cracked. I have no idea when this happened. There is also a smaller, barely-noticeable similar crack in the front valance, near a turn signal. The rear bumper ends also have some paint chippage due to, I believe, someone tapping the bumper of the car while it was parked in a parking lot. All in all, though, the paint looks great -- it has a level of gem-like shine that is rare amongst 25 year old-cars!. The rear wiper motor doesn't work, and hasn't worked since I've owned the car. The sunroof motor needs to be repaired. The sunroof can be installed and taken out of the car, but the part of the motor that lifts up the back of it doesn't work. The Fuchs alloys were stained by using the wrong type of wheel cleaner. They look fine except very close-up. |

Porsche 911 GT3 RS looks wicked, this way comes
Thu, Dec 11 2014Those who didn't think Porsche went extreme enough with the latest 911 GT3 likely won't be disappointed when the more focused GT3 RS arrives. And as you can see from these latest spy shots, it looks like it's speeding right around the corner. Tipped to debut at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS is shaping up to be an enthusiast's dream - and with the prospect of a GT2 in doubt, could be the most hardcore Elfen in the range. Instead of the 3.8-liter flat-six in the current GT3, the new RS will pick up where the previous limited-edition GT3 RS 4.0 left off, with four naturally aspirated liters of unadulterated boxer power channeling a good 520 horses to the rear wheels. That will be a significant increase over the existing 475-hp GT3 and will match the 911 Turbo for output (if not the 560-hp Turbo S) and without any turbo lag to slow down the action, either. Whether it will keep the GT3's dual-clutch gearbox and four-wheel steering system, or ditch one or both for a more analog approach, remains to be seen, but we're holding out hope. Either way, the modifications to the bodywork ought to make the GT3 RS stand out even further and stay glued to the race track it will call home. Notice the deep front splitter scooping up snowflakes like a shovel, a massive rear wing (which may or may not be the final production version), the Turbo-spec rear end with air intakes ahead of the rear wheels, and a set of awesome-looking gills over the front wheels – all of which you can scope out in the gallery full of spy shots above.

Magnus Walker turbocharges his love for the Porsche 911
Thu, 31 Oct 2013He's had his fill of early, long-hood Porsche 911s - he owns at least one from each model year, from 1964 to 1973 - so Magnus Walker, a fanatic of the Stuttgart, Germany-based automaker, recently set his sights on the early Porsche 930, as documented by this XCAR video called 'Turbo Fever.' Let us translate: pretty soon Walker will own all of the earliest, non-intercooled 911 Turbos - at least one from each model year, starting at 1975 and ending at 1977 (though the 1975 911 Turbo Carrera never officially was imported to the US by Porsche, so it'll be tougher to find one Stateside).
Any Porsche enthusiast can tell you why they love their car, and it often comes down to the small details that differentiate one model year from another. One of many examples is the mid-'80s 928. They look similar, but the basic difference between a 1984 Porsche 928 S and a 1985 928 S (US-spec) is two camshafts and 54 horsepower, though each car's V8 has its own pros and cons. We'll let Magnus Walker tell you all about the 930 and what makes the first three years special, as he's becoming quite the expert on early, air-cooled 911s. When the nearly 15-minute mini-documentary was filmed, which you can view below, he already had added four early 930s to his collection!
