selling my 1994 Porsche 968, i have owned the car since 2007 and have loved every minute of it. Selling because I simply do not use it enough. My friend and I were talking and I decided the money from it could much better be used than the car sitting in the garage. The car has approximately 145,000 miles on it. The odometer gear did break (and has been replaced) but for while I had to keep track of miles by hand. The car passed emissions with flying colors last month as well as inspection. If you are turned off by it looking like a "race car" be sure to let me know. i can easily put the stock seats back in and the door numbers are stickers and come right off. Do not think of this as a dedicated track car. but more so a street car that has racing seats in it. 

It has Boxster 17" wheels with sticky Hankook rs3's 225 front 255 rear tires on it. i have the original 16"s with tires that you can have as well. the clutch and dual mass flywheel were replaced in 2008. I run Brad Penn 20w50 oil religiously. Has the factory limited slip diff, as well as the 10 speaker sound system (all speakers have been upgraded). Lindsey Racing short shift kit and Momo shift knob. The wheels are plasti-dipped black, if you do not know about plastidip its a rubber coating that just peels off, they are factory silver underneath. 

The car slowly over the years became more track oriented. total track days "DE's" is 6. some of the more track oriented mods are: 
-driver and passenger racing seats (have original power grey seats)
-Sparco 5 point harnesses (original 3 point seat belts still installed)
-928 S4 front brakes 
-Porterfield r4-s brake pads all around
-more aggressive brake bias valve, forget the valve number but its the usual upgrade. 
-aftermarket Koni yellow struts all around
-coil over kit with 300# springs, lowered
-custom Dual setrab oil cooler, car now holds 10 quarts of oil
-Sparco steering wheel (brand new, not a used one)
-AEM Digital oil temp gauge 
-crank scraper 
-oil pan baffle 
-rear seat delete with custom fiberglass replacement (have orginial rear seats as well)
-custom one off 3d-printed velocity stacks for the well known "air box mod" holes. 
-upper chasis brace
-design one racing lower chassis brace
-design one racing "roll cage" with the diagonal brace and harness bar. 
-RS barn cat back exhaust
-RS barn stage 1 chip

Decided to do rod bearings, and one thing led to another and the whole motor was apart. I have a full build sheet i will attach in the pictures. stock build, besides a couple of things:
-4 angle valve job and fully rebuild head
-crank scraper
-oil pan baffle welded in
-intake manifold hot tanked and bead blasted, then powder coated
-all of the balance shaft bushings and oil pump drive gear replaced
-variocam pads and chain replaced
-head was shaved, thus compression has been increased
-Wide Fire head gasket

the bad:
-paint is not that good, always planned on a paint job "one day"
-dash is cracked (have a dash cover on it)

-couple places where the clear coat has started to chip (rear bumper, sunroof)

-motorcycle fell into the passenger door and it was repainted poorly

-Drivers door was keyed and repainted so/so



probably forgetting some stuff, will add anything else i remember. 


In the picture of the cylinder head, the spot that is corroded was ground out by the machinist and new aluminum was welded in, and then the head was resurfaced. 


On Aug-27-14 at 21:30:35 PDT, seller added the following information:

It also has MO30 front and rear sway bars with Derlin bushings. 

again, as if i think of anything else i will be sure to add it.

Audi CEO says brand's EVs are almost as profitable as its other cars

Mon, Oct 4 2021

After, oh, a hundred years or so of building vehicles primarily powered by internal combustion engines, automakers around the world have been and still are pumping billions of dollars into the development of electric vehicle technology. Everything from platforms and batteries to motors and the software to control it all requires untold hours of development, and that takes time and money. Fortunately, it's not going to take long for that massive investment to start paying off, at least according to Audi CEO Markus Duesmann, who told Reuters in an interview that "The point where we earn as much money with electric cars as with combustion engine cars is now, or ... next year, 2023. They are very even now, the prices." As a brand, Audi contributed more than a quarter of overall profit for the massive Volkswagen Group, which has such powerhouse brands as Volkswagen and Porsche among others. Under the Audi umbrella are Lamborghini, Bentley and Ducati, and it seems those high-end branches aren't going anywhere, at least for now. "These brands ... are very valuable very profitable brands, where we can even expand the synergy level in the future," Duesmann said in the interview. "There are no plans whatsoever to get rid of them." Despite the overall profitability of the brand, the ongoing global chip crisis is causing headaches. "We had a very strong first half in 2021. We do expect a much weaker second half," said Duesmann, who added, "We really have trouble." In fact, so serious is the trouble that the brand is forced into "a day-to-day troubleshooting process" to limit the chip-shortage damage. The good news for the automaker is that Audi has been able to boost its profit margin from 8% prior to the pandemic in 2019 to 10.7% in the first half of 2021. The bad news is that various chip shortages aren't expected to get a whole lot better over the rest of the year. Related video:

Jaguar F-Type pitted against Porsche 911 Cabriolet by Tiff Needell

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

You knew it wouldn't take long and it looks like EVO is first onto YouTube with a battle between the 2014 Jaguar F-Type and the 2013 Porsche 911. Tiff Needell spends a few laps warming up the tires (read: drifting like mad) in each droptop before getting in a timed run to see who's champion and who's second best.
Before the bell rings, its the Porsche that's got everything to lose, the 50-year-old era-defining sportscar getting on with a 3.4-liter flat-six, 350 horsepower, a seven-speed manual and a 3,197-pound curb weight. Other sportscars, like the F-Type, continue to eye the 911 like a flag atop Everest that they plan to first touch, and then rip from its socket. The mid-trim Jaguar rolls into the contest with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 380 hp, an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters and a curb weight of 3,521 pounds.
The video below shows you what happens when you let all those numbers fight it out on the same stretch of curvy track. Check it out.

2015 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS [UPDATE]

Mon, Dec 1 2014

UPDATE: An earlier version of this story referenced the 911's six-speed manual transmission, but of course, Porsche uses a seven-speed manual in this car. The text has been changed to reflect this. There are no fewer than 19 different models in today's Porsche 911 series. While each appeals to the enthusiast, the race-bred GT3 is the pinnacle of the automaker's rear-engined lineup. Unfortunately, and despite the GT3's racing circuit prowess, its rigid track-tuned persona is too grating for many as a daily driver. To satisfy those who put sporty driving dynamics at the top of their list, but don't want to compromise comfort, Porsche has introduced the 2015 911 Carrera GTS. Raising its performance quotient, the GTS model boasts a handful of standard features that elevate it above its Carrera S siblings. Mechanically, it features an enhanced 3.8-liter flat-six bolted into the tail of the widebody platform (shared with the Carrera 4 and GT3). Other goodies include Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV), Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), a black-tipped Sport exhaust system and centerlock 20-inch 911 Turbo S wheels (five-lug wheels are a no-cost option). Cosmetically, the GTS is differentiated by its darkened lights, painted black wheels, Sport Design front spoiler, Sport Design exterior mirrors, black engine grille, rear black louvers (or lights on all-wheel drive models) and a 'GTS' logo on the lower doors. Inside the cabin are standard Sport Plus seats, Alcantera upholstery throughout with contrasting stitching, black gauges and anodized black aluminum trim. Offering us an excellent opportunity to put the second-generation GTS through its paces on a variety of roads, Porsche tossed us the keys in the LA Basin and pointed us towards Willow Springs Raceway, in the Mojave Desert. Driving Notes The GTS is offered in coupe or Cabriolet body styles, each with a choice between rear- and all-wheel drive. Buyers are also offered a choice between a traditional seven-speed manual gearbox or Porsche's seven-speed dual clutch transmission (PDK). The GT3, meanwhile, is only offered as a coupe with PDK. We grabbed the keys to a Guards Red rear-wheel drive coupe with PDK for our outbound drive, and a GT Silver Metallic all-wheel drive Cabriolet with a seven-speed manual for our return trip. Finding another 30 horsepower from the naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six required some old-fashioned tricks.
