1987 Porsche 944 S Coupe 2-door 2.5l on 2040-cars
Clifton Park, New York, United States
|
For
sale is my 1987 Porsche 944S with 120k and a 5 speed manual transmission. At 114k replaced the timing chain tensioner
along with the timing belt, balance shaft belt, water pump, thermostat and all
associated front-end gaskets. Also put in a K&N panel filter at this time
and put on new A/C and power steering belts. Around this time also replaced
both knock sensors because the plastic had deteriorated with age. At 117k I put in new Clutch, pressure plate,
resurfaced flywheel, seals/bearings and slave cylinder. I also replaced the
rear-main seal at this time. The idle
air control valve has also been very recently replaced. About 1k miles ago
replaced the A/C compressor and receiver/drier and did a full system flush,
recharging with R134a. A/C now blows cold. Tires on the car are 225/50R15 Kumho
Ecsta AST with less than 3k on them. The
muffler on the vehicle is also in like-new condition. 8/10 The
body and exterior are in very good condition. There are no dents or damages to
the body. The paint is in good condition with some average signs of wear. Overall I would say 7.5/10. Interior
does show signs of age (crack in the driver side seat, dash cracks) but for the
most part is in good condition. I have also installed aluminum door sill trims.
All electrics on the car work including
the headlights and sunroof, the cruise control worked intermittently 7/10. The car is physically and mechanically sound and I would feel comfortable to jump in and take it across country. The car also comes with a sunroof cover and a bra. I love this car but my collection is getting too big and it needs to go. If there are any questions or you would like to see the vehicle please send me a message and we can make arrangements. I reserve the right to end the auction early, regardless of bid status. Sorry
for any blue spots in pictures, they are due to the camera on my phone. |

Is the skill of rev matching being lost to computers?
Fri, Oct 9 2015If the ability to drive a vehicle equipped with a manual gearbox is becoming a lost art, then the skill of being able to match revs on downshifts is the stuff they would teach at the automotive equivalent of the Shaolin Temple. The usefulness of rev matching in street driving is limited most of the time – aside from sounding cool and impressing your friends. But out on a race track or the occasional fast, windy road, its benefits are abundantly clear. While in motion, the engine speed and wheel speed of a vehicle with a manual transmission are kept in sync when the clutch is engaged (i.e. when the clutch pedal is not being pressed down). However, when changing gear, that mechanical link is severed briefly, and the synchronization between the motor and wheels is broken. When upshifting during acceleration, this isn't much of an issue, as there's typically not a huge disparity between engine speed and wheel speed as a car accelerates. Rev-matching downshifts is the stuff they would teach at the automotive equivalent of the Shaolin Temple. But when slowing down and downshifting – as you might do when approaching a corner at a high rate of speed – that gap of time caused by the disengagement of the clutch from the engine causes the revs to drop. Without bringing up the revs somehow to help the engine speed match the wheel speed in the gear you're about to use, you'll typically get a sudden jolt when re-engaging the clutch as physics brings everything back into sync. That jolt can be a big problem when you're moving along swiftly, causing instability or even a loss of traction, particularly in rear-wheel-drive cars. So the point of rev matching is to blip the throttle simultaneously as you downshift gears in order to bring the engine speed to a closer match with the wheel speed before you re-engage the clutch in that lower gear, in turn providing a much smoother downshift. When braking is thrown in, you get heel-toe downshifting, which involves some dexterity to use all three pedals at the same time with just two feet – clutch in, slow the car while revving, clutch out. However, even if you're aware of heel-toe technique and the basic elements of how to perform a rev match, perfecting it to the point of making it useful can be difficult.
Investigators blame speed in fatal Paul Walker crash
Wed, 26 Mar 2014When the tragic news first came in that actor Paul Walker had been killed in a car crash, family, friends and fans were left searching for answers. They now have at least one key question answered, with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department blaming "unsafe speed" for the fatal accident.
According to a statement released by the LACSD, "Investigators determined the cause of the fatal solo-vehicle collision was unsafe speed for the roadway conditions". The investigation into the November, 2013 crash determined that Walker's 2005 Porsche Carrera GT had been driven by his business partner and racer, Roger Rodas, at speeds between 80 and 93 miles per hour - less than the 100+ mph initially suspected, but still far too fast for the road on which they were traveling, which carried a posted limit of 45 mph.
In the investigation into the death of the Fast & Furious star and his friend, some people were quick to finger the Porsche in which they were riding as the culprit. The Carrera GT does, after all, have the reputation of being a notoriously difficult car to control. But after an exhaustive investigation, law enforcement officials in California have vindicated the car and dismissed any mechanical fault as the cause of the accident.
Porsche Cayman gets a new face
Fri, 12 Sep 2014We've already seen photos of the facelifted Porsche Boxster out testing, but we're now seeing these same changes making their way onto the hardtop Cayman coupe. Cosmetically, the next round of Porsche's smallest sports cars isn't vastly different, with redesigned headlamps, LED running lights (like its big brother, the 911), and new taillamps that actually aren't visible on the prototype seen here.
The big news for the updated Boxster/Cayman range is the long-rumored four-cylinder engine. Recent reports suggest we could see four-pots with displacements of 1.6, 2.0, or 2.5 liters, and with output ratings as high as 360 horsepower. Of course, these new four-cylinder mills would be both turbocharged and direct-injected.
It's unclear whether or not the six-cylinder engine range will also be updated when this new Cayman comes to market. In any case, we expect to see it bow in the relatively near future. Stay tuned.
