2002 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
O Fallon, Illinois, United States
Feel free to email: carlicaahlfield@rumpypumpy.net . This is a pampered Carrera 4S with a number of upgrades and modifications. I am a PCA member, this is my fifth
Porsche, have owned this vehicle for 4 years (I'm the 3rd owner, but have all paperwork), and it has lived a very
sheltered life. No winters, no rain, covered when not in use. Upgrades/Modifications:
Factory Wheels Upgraded to 19" HRE's with New Michelin Pilot Sport 2 Tires ($10,000)
Professionally Installed K40 Laser/Radar Detector/Defender ($2,000)
IMS Bearing Upgrade with Lowered Oil Pan in 2013 ($5,000) - I would STRONGLY Advise Not Buying a 996/Early 997
that hasn't had this performed
FabSpeed X-Pipe Catalytic Converter Upgrade Earlier in 2015 ($3,000)
Pioneer Double Din AVH-X5500BHS Stereo with DVD as well as Review Camera + Porsche OEM Surround Faceplate
($1,200)
GT3 Rear Wing and Front Spoiler with Rear Badge Delete (I estimate it cost the former owner well over $8,000)
MotorSport OEM Porsche Competition Clutch (Installed with IMS, Should Last Life of Vehicle, or a VERY long
time)
Clear Colored Side Markers (IMO Looks Much Sharper than the Orange)
Competition Brake Pads (Stops on a Dime)
Carbon Fiber Laminate on Door Sills & Center Counsel (This is not the cheap peel and stick, although is
removable)
Driver Seat Bottom Bolster, Passenger Seat Bottom Bolster Leather Replaced with OEM Replacement in 2015
($1,200)
After-market Shifter from a Company out of Stutgart that make a much nicer shifter than stock (also shift grid
is backlit LED, looks great at night)
Armrest/Center Storage Drawer Covered in Leather
3M Clear Bra on Quarter Panels
For what it's worth, although this is not a GT3, most people think it is (there's a big difference - including in
cost)...although that was never the intent. It gets compliments everywhere I go, and the car drives phenomenally.
Please note that this is the metallic black (Basault), that was a $2k upcharge over the regular black (looks
awesome at day and night). I'll be the first to admit this car is a bit over-invested in, however, outside normal
maintenance (oil, filter, pads, etc.) - this car has been set up for years of enjoyment. Whoever ends up with this
vehicle is going to be a very lucky buyer!

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.
DP Motorsport tries to turn a vintage Porsche 911 into a sleeper
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Once you get past the fact that it's hard to call a car a sleeper when it has race-product stickers on its quarter panel, and the script across the back panel reads "Porsche 911 3.2 Sleeper," it's fun to imagine what this car can do. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911, Germany's DP Motorsport took a model from 1986, stripped it of everything - including the paint and undercoating - then replaced everything with lightweight and race-ready parts.
In went race cams and ported cylinder heads, a lightweight flywheel, an RSR titanium racing exhaust, 935-style lollipop seats and RSR carpeting, a lightweight battery, perforated and galvanized hinges and brackets, hardened perspex windows. The 3.2-liter engine puts out 270 horsepower - 70 hp above the stock 911 on sale here in 1986 - and 226 pound-feet of torque through a limited slip differential to staggered wheels. The exterior color is metallic rock-green lacquer.
If you want one, $120,00 is where the part starts, but DP Motorsport says it offers the parts individually if you don't need your vintage Porsche to sleep this hard. On a side note, for a chucklesome journey back in time, check out this review of the 1986 911 that gets things going with this line: "First off, the Porsche 911 is very expensive - how does about 40 thou grab you?" Back on topic, there's a press release below that tells the rest of the story of the 3.2 Sleeper.
Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
