I am sad to see this car go as it has much sentimental value to me (drove off on my honeymoon with it, got me through 5 yrs of school, etc.) As such, I do not wish to see it taken apart and sold for parts. It has seen better days, but would be an excellent project car to restore or make a nice street/track car out of, or even to put an LS engine in. The good: Velvet Red 1989 turbo (which replaced the 944 turbo S and adopted the turbo S specs) - adjustable Konis with adjustable spring perches in front to adjust ride height - AOR trans with limited-slip differential and cooling loop - 928S4 brakes and I added the factory 928 bias valve not normally found on this model - new front and rear rotors, new Hawk HP+ pads front and rear - 146,xxx miles on engine, but rebuilt head, H2O pump, belts, etc ~30k mi ago - 968 rear hatch (stock one included) - new front wheel bearings - Weltmeister anti-sway bars - KLA strut brace and cabin filters - rebuilt throttle-body seals - new throttle position sensor - Vitesse chips - Tial 38mm wastegate - Siemens 55lb injectors (stock included) - 3 bar fuel pressure regulator - Bursch test pipe (stock included) - SFR stage 1 stainless steel headers - recent paint job - newly rebuilt A-arms with aluminum bushings which will last a lifetime - 968 caster blocks - H4 euro spec headlights - Accuboost manual boost controller with ceramic ball upgrade - new battery - fiberglass brake ducts which force air over the entire center rotor vent (with the splash shields removed) - I also have large brake scoops to feed the ducts, but those are not installed - factory Porsche European rear bumper with trim holes filled (makes the rear of the car look SOO much better) - Car has multiple new seals (window scrapers, sunroof (and possibly door seals, but I can't remember now)) - Dash has only one very tiny crack starting at the rear corner of the passenger side airbag insert The bad: The car was running a few months ago, but I tried to start it yesterday and it would not start. The DME and fuel pump relays click, but I have not had time to troubleshoot it. I think the turbo is leaking oil, as shortly after startup, the crossover pipe smokes for a minute or two. I suspect that it will need to be rebuilt. The sunroof needs new gears installed (I will provide them with a box of extra parts I have for the car) It needs new wiring to the cooling fan ballast resistors, seats have tears, body shop left too much orange peel on hood, so I told them to respray it. They used a stripper which they must not have washed off all the way and/or repainted the hood in anger, so now the hood paint has peeled and needs to be resprayed. The exhaust stud nearest the firewall is stripped (thanks to the local Porsche shop monkeys) and will need to have a Time-sert or Helicoil installed. Tires are shot and current 18" wheels are curb-rashed and one has a bent lip. The left side blinker blinks fast and the airbag light needs to be reset. There are a couple scratches on the right rear fender, and the car needs foglights (see my other auction for factory European foglights). There is also some paint cracking on front bumper. PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER AUCTIONS BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF OTHER PARTS FOR SALE. THANK YOU.

Porsche creates 'symphony' with seven generations of 911

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

At Porsche, things are getting a bit wild on the 50th anniversary year of the 911. To celebrate it (again) in yet another inventive way, the automaker has called on the musical talents of seven generations of the rear-engine sports car (please suspend your disbelief, at least for the length of the video, and assume that generation two started in 1974) to perform a song that has eight notes. We're wondering which 911 is pulling double duty...
But before the Porsches are lined up for the short recital, the drivers let loose and drift them inside a hangar. Watch the video below, and tell us in comments which was more impressive: the song or the drifting.

Porsche slathers Martini livery on 911, Panamera, Macan and Cayenne

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

This is how we imagine the conversation went in Porsche's Stuttgart headquarters: "Martini livery. Martini livery all the things." Okay, so maybe not, but that hasn't stopped Porsche from showing off images of its entire lineup bearing the iconic racing livery.
While we aren't sure about the questionably yellow 911 and lime green Macan, the navy blue Cayenne and the white Panamera both look pretty spectacular as they lap about the streets of Sochi, Russia.
As for why the liveried sports cars and crossovers were at the site of the 2014 Winter Olympics, we aren't totally sure. Porsche's Facebook page, where the images first popped up, was really light on details. Whatever the reason, we fully support Porsche doing more with Martini livery. Take a look at the full gallery to see what we mean.

Porsche forum claims eco-friendly 911 Blu coming to Frankfurt

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

The fiftieth anniversary of the Porsche 911 has been a nearly year-long affair, with unique tributes and even a special anniversary edition with plenty of retro throwbacks. The party is expected to continue through the end of 2013, and if one 911 enthusiast forum is right, we'll see yet another special edition model near the anniversary of the original car's September 1963 debut, when it arrives at next month's Frankfurt Auto Show.
It's called the 911 Blu, and where the 911 50 Years Edition was more expensive than a 911 Carrera S hardtop, the Blu would be an entry level special edition. That's right, a limited run car that actually slots in at the very bottom of the 911 range. According to Porsche forum 911UK.com, the new car would be priced at 74,600 euros ($98,718 at today's rates) or 64,750 pounds. That undercuts the price of a base 911 in Germany by nearly 16,000 euros and in the UK by nearly 8700 pounds (although to be fair, it's roughly identical to the price of a base 911 C2S in the US).
This 911 will reportedly feature a detuned flat-six with 300 horsepower and 211 pound-feet of torque.
