1987 Porsche 944 Turbo ( 951 ) on 2040-cars
East Hartford, Connecticut, United States
|
For sale is a beautiful 1987 944 Turbo. I spent many hours working and modifying this vehicle and getting it to where it is today. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and I have no choice but to sell. Let me start out by saying this car is NOT STOCK! It has been modified! With that said it has been modified to modernize the vehicle in how it operates and performs. These are good things if you want more power and a smoother drive! The car runs great and the engine is very strong with great leak-down test results! Car shifts great with no grinding! This car is a blast to drive and I thoroughly enjoy on-ramps and windy roads! These cars were know for there 50/50 weight distribution and are not rear-end heavy like their 911 Cousins. The car looks great and I get many compliments when I go out. This car is complete and a true daily driver! Although the car has never been dynoed I estimate this vehicle to have approximately 340 rear wheel horsepower. The car has never been tracked and was garaged for most of its life. The car starts every time and idles great! It has a nice deep growl but nothing to crazy! Engine: Fresh Rebuilt Engine Low Miles on it. No scoring on cylinder walls. Fresh rebuilt cylinder head with valve guides replaced. (New Head Gasket and Timing Belt) New spark Plugs and wires Mods: Tial Dual Port Wastegate (factory was single port) / Black Knob Boost Controller / In Console Boost Gauge / In Console Innovate Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge / Fuel Rail Pressure Gauge / Silicone Vacuum Hoses throughout / Aluminum Lightweight Racing Flywheel Spec Stage 1 Clutch / Full 3" Lindsey Racing Exhaust included with High Flow Cat insert or Straight Pipe insert / Lindsey Racing Super 53 Turbocharger (Garrett Hybrid), Less than 5,000 miles on new turbo / The Turbo is much bigger than the stock unit but is much more advanced and is a good ratio of power to lag. This is a dry turbo set-up (oil cooled only) and the stock coolant lines to the turbo have been removed and blocked off. 55# Fuel Injectors / Billet Blow Off Valve. I run the vehicle (as do many others) without the front plastic engine cover. This allows easy viewing of the belts to monitor their condition. Engine Management: This vehicle was recently set up with a Rogue Tuning Custom Tune System (M-Tune Varient) complete with MAP Sensor, Quad MAF Unit, and Custom Rogue Tuning Chips. This system has a can be made to work with E-85 and but currently chipped for premium unleaded fuel with overboost protection set at 18 PSI to ensure longevity of the engine. This Rogue Tuning System is night and day over the old 1980's stock computer chip and air box set up. More information can be found on this website: www.roguetuning.com Body Upgrade: Fiberglass Front Splitter / Fiberglass Vented Nose Panel (helps get more air into intercooler) Fresh Paint Job (2yrs old) 17" Factory BBS Wheels painted charcoal gray. The vehicle has really low miles, a clean history, and is accident FREE! Here are some issues so there are no surprises: The A/C Compressor will need to be replaced these can be sourced used or new on Ebay. Body: There is a small paint chip on drivers side door and one on the passenger side mirror. A paint chip kit could be ordered and this issue fixed easily I just don't have the time. There is a little paint overspray in the engine compartment and underneath the vehicle. Overall the paint looks fresh and bright!! Interior: The passenger seat has a small tear near the seam and the arm rest has a tear near the hinge. The interior is overall in really great shape. There is a small imperfection on the dash board where it looks like the previous owner repaired a small dash crack. All three of these issues are common on these 25+ year old cars. These cars are classic and not everything is going to be perfect as if it just rolled off the assembly line. Other details: The car is currently running the stock suspension which still performs great. I would recommend upgrading to a stiffer suspension if you were planning on tracking the vehicle. Same goes for the brakes...these are stock Brembo units that work great but if you were to track the car I would maybe upgrade them to a more modern setup. I don't have the spare tire or the jack in the vehicle or the original sales documents or user manual. Cruise Control is not hooked up and not sure if it works. The huge stock steering wheel was taken off and replaced with a small MOMO race three spoke wheel! The horn button on the wheel does not work but I have installed a dedicated red Horn button to the left of the wheel on the front dash. If you have any other questions or concerns please don't hesitate to email and ask! I've really tried to include everything I can think of so you can bid with confidence!!!! |

Porsche continues facelift spree with 911 Turbo
Fri, 24 Jan 2014If there's ever been automotive case for constant evolution, it is the Porsche 911. It seems like every time a new version of the rear-engined sports car debuts, Porsche is already hard at work on a facelifted version of it that changes some subtle, barely noticeable aspect.
Such is the case with this round of images of a facelifted 911 Turbo, which was seen undergoing winter testing alongside the facelifted, hardtop-version of the 911 Cabriolet we showed you yesterday. The new, 991-based 911 Turbo was just unveiled in May of 2013.
Like the Cabrio from yesterday, both the Turbo and naturally aspirated models shown here feature additional slats at the rear of the car, right behind the rear wheels. These slats on the standard model lend credence to what we learned yesterday - that even the regular 911 models could end up getting turbocharged mills.
Man steals Porsche, brags on video, then crashes into wall
Thu, Dec 3 2015Here's your daily reminder that thieves are morons. This also serves as reminder that not everything you do needs to be committed to video. A man in Gloucester, a city in southwest England, was stupid enough to steal a Porsche Boxster and then take a video in it. Oh, and of course, he crashed it. Now, we'll give this dimwit, 25-year-old Jamie Lee Sharp, some credit – he didn't actually admit that he stole the car on video, at least based on the 45-second clip released by Gloucester police and hosted by The Guardian. According to the story, there was more footage, which included Sharp driving the car and phoning friends, before he crashed it into a wall. It's not clear if the crash was caught on video, though. Following the crash, Sharp's accomplice, 26-year-old James Honeywell, abandoned him at the scene of the wreck. Both thieves were arrested following the January incident, though, and were just recently sentenced by British authorities following guilty pleas. The crown awarded Sharp's actions with a four-year stay in one of Her Majesty's prisons for burglary, aggravated vehicle taking, driving while disqualified, drunk driving, and driving without insurance. Honeywell got 35 months burglary, aggravated vehicle taking, and failure to appear at court. His license was also suspended for nearly two and half years, too, The Guardian reports.

Best compact SUVs of 2022
Thu, Oct 20 2022Compact SUVs are now the go-to choice for family transportation. Actually, considering how popular they are, they have clearly moved beyond only family duty. With such popularity, though, comes an awful lot of competitors, and it can be difficult to figure out which one might be the best compact SUV for you. It's important to note that by "compact SUV" we're talking about a specific segment. As we describe in our more comprehensive "Best small SUVs" list, there are also subcompact SUVs that vary widely in size amongst themselves, but are clearly smaller than the SUVs below. Frankly, today's segment of compact SUVs isn't exactly compact — some have more cargo space than vehicles that are considered midsize based on their exterior dimensions. They've all grown considerably over the years. While many lists out there just rattle off every vehicle available in a segment, we thought we'd be a bit more helpful and curate your shopping a bit with the top-recommended choices reviewed by Autoblog. We've included both mainstream and compact luxury SUV choices. Best compact SUVs of 2023 and 2024 2024 Honda CR-V Why it stands out: Best-in-class space; excellent hybrid powertrain; sharp interior style; Honda dependabilityCould be better: No lower-price base trim levels; no sporty or off-road niche models; no plug-in hybrid Read our full 2024 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search, and look extra closely at the superb CR-V Hybrid option. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, strong-yet-efficient engines, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features, and well-regarded reliability. It's easy to see why it continues to be such a best-seller: for the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, it checks every box. That's been the case for many years now, however. The all-new 2023 Honda CR-V changes things up by adding a bit more style and character, particularly in terms of its interior design and how surprisingly enjoyable the Sport and Sport Touring hybrid trim levels are to drive.
