 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 says goodbye to Audi's Le Mans team in this classy video

Fri, Dec 16 2016

Well, this is cute. You may remember that in 2014 Audi made a video to welcome Porsche, its corporate sibling, back to Le Mans racing. It involved an Audi race car, a farmer on an old Porsche tractor, and the street in front of Porsche HQ. With Audi leaving Le Mans after a successful 18-year run, Porsche is returning the favor with this sort of sappy video. There's not much more to it. The video starts with clips from the original, where the Porsche-diesel-tractor-driving farmer is passed by an Audi R18 that traveled from Ingolstadt to Stuttgart to make some very precise German street graffiti (in English). Then, in the present day, the farmer hears the news of Audi leaving LMP1 and he gets an idea while Joe Cocker's "Up Where We Belong" starts to play. (Yes, seriously.) We won't spoil the ending for you. It still stinks that Audi had to leave Le Mans racing in the wake of the diesel scandal to focus on Formula E racing instead. But it's good to see there are no hard feelings between the two VW Group brands, at least as far as the marketing departments are concerned. We expect the Porsche-Audi sibling rivalry and corporate squabbles to continue behind closed doors, however. Related Video: Audi Porsche Racing Vehicles Videos porsche 919 hybrid

Motor Trend hits Laguna Seca with Ferrari F12, Chevy Corvette, Porsche 911

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

According to the crew at Motor Trend, we should think of the video below "as an addendum to Best Driver's Car," a test the magazine put together that elevated the 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S above all others in the category of driving joy. It seems the brand-new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray wasn't able to take part in the magazine's official test, and neither was the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.
And so Motor Trend did the only logical thing: It procured both the 'Vette and Prancing Horse as soon as it could, and put them both on track with the Driver's Car-winning 911. Of course, these cars don't actually compete against each other - the Ferrari offers up 731 horsepower and wears an asking price of $434,144 as tested, which means you could buy four loaded Corvettes for the price of one F12, and still have money left for a garage to store them in - but that's not the point of this particular test.
The point of this test isn't to listen to the beautiful sounds coming from the Porsche's flat-six-cylinder, the Corvette's pushrod V8 or the Ferrari's luscious V12, either, but the video below is worth watching for those three reasons alone. You know what to do.
