I am selling my baby. I purchased this car in 2006 as a 1.8L four that had been restored. Over the last seven years, I have rebuilt the gearbox, and installed a completely rebuilt 2.7 (crank up) that was done right. The case was machined by G2 racing in Michigan and brought back to new tolerances--NO 2.7 related issues. Case decked, inserted, and properly cleaned. Euro Pistons matched with "E" grind camshafts from Dougherty Racing and Webers completely redone including new throttle shaft bushings and throttle plates. I haven't dynoed it, but the build sheet shows well (like 220hp) in excess of 200 horses in this mid-engined rocket. I chose a 16 quart front-mounted oil tank that feeds the engine through a -20 braided oil supply with -16 returns. 911 front suspension with highly desirable aluminum "S" calipers and true 5-bolt hubs. Wheels are *OEM* Carrera Cup II wheels (not fakes) and are stupid-light. 17x7 up front at 17x9 in the rear. 100mm Studs with spacers are track ready. I have run wheels as big as 18x10 and 18x8 (late offset) with no rubbing issues. This car is scary fast, and sounds wicked through the stainless steel Monty exhaust. Please bookmark this auction as I will have better outdoor pictures under natural light and a startup and driving video available. Hellhole is good. There is a small area of rot in the right rear longitudinal that is not showing signs of any structural issues. It should be repaired eventually, tho. More details to follow.

Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault
Fri, 21 Mar 2014LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
Supercar parade entering highway is mesmerizing
Thu, 09 May 2013In what must have looked and sounded to motorists on the M6 like an invasion of The Swarm, a parade of 50 enthusiast gems leaving a charity event were caught shooting down the on-ramp and merging into traffic. There were plenty of Porsches joining the 959 and Ducktail above, Aston Martins going back to the badboy V8 of the last millennium, a Ferrari Testarossa, a TVR and numerous other Easter eggs.
There were not, however, plenty of turn signals, with someone counting just five among the fifty engaging in proper use of the blinker. One reason put forth for that is the same reason we're posting this video, which is from last Summer, below: "because supercar." Enjoy.
Porsche Macan to get four-cylinder engines
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Porsche hasn't offered a four-cylinder engine since the 968 went out of production in 1995 - the better part of two decades ago. There'd been talk of a four-pot Boxster or an even smaller model to slot in below it, but while the latest intel indicates that Porsche is moving ahead with its four-cylinder plans, it's a different kind of vehicle that will get it first.
That, of course, would be the new Macan. Just revealed a few weeks ago at the LA Auto Show, the Macan crossover is being launched with a pair of twin-turbocharged V6 engines (a 3.0 with 340 horsepower and a 3.6 with 400 hp) and a six-cylinder turbodiesel with 258 hp. But smaller engines, according to emerging reports from Autocar and Auto Express, are on their way.
Word has it that Porsche is preparing a 2.0-liter turbo four with 280 horsepower and a diesel with the same displacement and cylinder count, engines that will power new entry-level Macan models that will slot in beneath the existing Macan S, Macan S Diesel and Macan Turbo. While the diesel is tipped to be ported over from the Volkswagen parts bin, the four-cylinder gasoline engine is said to be under development by Porsche itself, which could mean it will have a boxer layout.
