Up for bid is a 1994 Porsche 968 coupe. The car has 151,490 miles, but the engine only has about 130,000. The engine
is out of a 1994 968 Cabriolet. The engine was replaced because someone installed the flex dampener incorrectly and it
pushed forward on the crankshaft and wore the crankshaft thrust bearing.
The hatch was just rebuilt using professional Sika System components. We removed the hatch glass from the frame, and
completely removed all the old glue and primer. The new primer was airbrushed on, and the hatch glass reglued into the
frame. It looks amazing, and should not separate like the stock primer. The Sika System uses an activator which allows
the primer to bond into the glass, not just stick to the surface. The hatch is car color, which was an option, not the
normal Rally (satin) black. A new left side spoiler trim piece was installed when we restored the hatch.
The car runs and drives great. Everything works perfectly except for the cruise control, which is typical for the 944
and 968 models. If you engage the cruise control, the car wants to go 70MPH, and won't reset to a different speed. The
A/C is R134A and blows ice cold. The car has a factory alarm which works perfectly. The hatch and hood shocks all work
great.
The car has an Autothority performance chip installed, and believe me, you can feel the difference from the stock
chip.
I have installed loads of new components on this car in the 6 years that I have owned it. Here's a rundown of what I
can remember off the top of my head. Porsche factory motor mounts, Koni Sport adjustable shocks, left side hatch
spoiler, rear taillight assembly, one of the foglights, rain gutter trim, drivers door handle, door handle gaskets on
both sides, ground effect trim on both sides, hatch seal, inner sunroof seal, antenna mast, washer filler seal, outer
window scrapers, headlight pods, voltmeter/oil pressure gauge, all four dash trim pieces, rear bumper pads, cassette
tray hinge, all horn switch components, radiator, various cooling hoses, and metal glove box sliders to replace the
crappy factory plastic units. I added the front and rear engine bay covers which they didn't install on all the 94
cars.
The car has leather seats, leather steering wheel, leather emergency brake handle, leather shift knob, and a leather
cassette tray lid.The driver's seat is power adjustable. The interior is in great shape for a 94. There was a small
split in the driver's side seat bolster, but I stitched it up to prevent it from splitting any more. The carpet is in
great shape, and has always been covered with factory floormats (I took them out for the pictures). The rear cargo
cover is perfect with no rips or tears. The dash has the typical cracking from the sun.
The paint on this car is not perfect. It has been my daily driver 50% of the time for the last 6 years (I drive my 968
cabriolet in the summer). There are rock chips, a scrape in the front bumper cover, there are a few small dings in the
fenders, and the paint has been buffed through the top layer in a few small spots. With a coat of paint and a little
interior work, this car would be perfect. I want to give an accurate representation of the car. I don't want the buyer
to be disappointed. If you have any questions, please ask me before you place a bid. The tires are old and worn, and
should be replaced. The timing and balance shaft belts have about 20K on them.
This car is a lot of fun to drive. It handles amazingly, and will not disappoint you in any hard cornering situation.
The tiptronic transmission is great in rush hour, and when you kick it down to second on the freeway, it really gets
up and jumps. When you switch it over to manual shift mode, it is extremely responsive. I went from driving my 5 speed
944 to this car, and I did not miss wearing out my left leg running that clutch all the time.

Overnight action from the 24 Hours of Le Mans
Sun, 23 Jun 2013We won't go into a recap here, but there are still leading positions being fought for in all classes - it's so close that leads are changing when a car goes into the pits. We'll let the recap wait until the end of the race, so for now enjoy some shots from last night's action at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Mercedes-AMG, Porsche and Koenigsegg Lego sets coming this summer
Sun, May 5 2024Lego has announced a slew of new automotive-themed sets. As is typical fashion for brand of building toys, the subject matter leans toward ultra-exotic, ultra-expensive vehicles, ranging from a $139,000 Mercedes SL63 on the low end to a $3 million Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut on the high end. If you can't afford those cars in real life, soon you'll be able to build your own plastic models of them. Some of the real-world counterparts aren't obtainable no matter what the cost. Take the Lamborghini Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo, for example. The one-off concept was designed by Lamborghini exclusively for Gran Turismo, the PlayStation racing simulator. However, Lamborghini did build a 1:1 version for the physical world, with the 808-horsepoewer hybrid V12 from the Sian FKP 37 beneath its bodywork. The Lego version is part of the company's Speed Champions line, which measure about 6 inches long. It does an excellent job of capturing the original's insectoid look and Y-shaped taillights. The set is made up of 230 pieces and will retail for $26.99. This is Lego's first Vision Gran Turismo car but we hope to see more. Also joining the Speed Champions line are two 2-car sets. An Aston Martin-themed set pairs a Vantage safety car with an AMR23 Formula 1 racer. Both are finished in AMR's bright green with actual sponsor logos. The set contains 564 pieces and will cost $44.99. Also arriving as a 2-car set are a pair of Mercedes-AMGs. A black G 63 and yellow SL 63 Roadster, along with a pair of sunglasses-clad bros, make up the 808-piece set. It also retails for $44.99. All three Speed Champions sets arrive on June 1, 2024. If you're looking for something a bit more advanced and detailed, Lego also offers the Technic line. First up is a Porsche GT4 e-Performance, a 1,000-horsepower race car based on the 718 Cayman. This set can also function as a remote controlled car that moves forward, backward, and steers via a downloadable smartphone app. The 834-piece set costs $169.99. Last but not least, there's the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, a model of the Swedish supercar that is said to have a top speed of over 300 mph. The model does an admirable job of capturing the car's 0.278 Cd drag coefficient, considering it's comprised of 801 individual plastic bricks. This set will retail for $49.99 and, along with the Porsche, comes out August 1, 2024. Related Video LEGO Speed Champion Build: 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback
Jaguar F-Type squares off against Porsche 911, Aston V8 Vantage with Chris Harris
Fri, 21 Jun 2013Chris Harris is back on the job, taking on really really difficult car questions like: Which enormously sexy and good-to-drive, high-performance convertible is the top of the heap? As one of the hottest cars in the luxury space right now, the Jaguar F-Type S is, of course, in on the action. Competition comes in the form of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster and the Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet. Sun-loving CEOs who despise test-driving need look no further.
Scroll on below for a fully featured (with a running time of more than 20 minutes) comparison video. Harris does his best to entertain - in a typically nitpicky and made-up-British-words fashion - and the moving pictures are lovely to look at. Kick back, pour a pint and get your weekend started off right.
