2009 Porsche 911 997 on 2040-cars
Clements, Maryland, United States
Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : jamijddimery@horticulturists.net .
My low mileage Mezger powered Basalt 2009 997 Turbo. I am a long time Porsche owner,
enthusiast, and mechanic. Before I go any further this car does have a $55k factory replacement engine due to a
broken timing chain, quite possibly caused by the ridiculous number of over revs logged by the ecu. I personally
installed the new engine at 16k miles and purchased the car with 17.5k miles. I have completely torn the car down,
inspected, serviced, and reassembled everything mechanically. The entire suspension has been disassembled,
inspected, and serviced. The suspension while very aggressive, is equally agile and responsive while being very
predictable and compliant. I spent a lot of time working with the shock settings, and more importantly reducing the
charge pressures making them much more street friendly then their original design and intention. This car is a
stunning performer being leaps and bounds above the standard turbo.
The paint shows extremely well with the only significant blemishes being nicks and chips on the front splitter,
and around the leading edges of the front rocker and rear bumper (see pics). The installer failed to have the
Techart provided protective clear film attached on those sections. A little time and creativity would quickly
repair this. If it were not for the car being a metallic based black I certainly would have addressed it, however;
it really doesn't stand out as it would with any other color so I decided to leave it alone for now. Aside from
that the paint and body are in amazing condition, you will not be disappointed, no one has ever been yet! The
basalt black has become one of my personal favorites as it really accentuates and exaggerates the curves of the
Turbo body and changes slightly in color with light, a must see in person as pictures just can't do it justice.
Improvements and upgrades.
styling:
-GT2 RS seats (full leather)
-HRE 590R three piece wheels with Dunlop racemaxx tires
-Techart aero kit including rear wing element
-Techart GT3 carbon front bumper vent insert
-Techart carbon roof spoiler
Suspension and Brakes:
-JRZ RS Pro coil overs with Eibach 500/600 springs
-Brembo GT 380mm front and 380mm rear brake conversion
-Brembo type III front rotors
-RSS control arms, links, and mounts
-TPC Racing sway bars
Engine and Performance:
-Brand new Factory replacement Mezger engine
-AWE Tuning 650S headers, hi-flow cats, and exhaust
-GT3 throttle body
-Softronic 650 hp 93 oct tune
-TPC Racing intercoolers (largest on market)
-Werks1 (champion motorsport) carbon plenum
-Werks1 carbon y-pipe (needs repair but goes with car)
-IDP aluminum y-pipe
-Werks1 carbon air intake
-OS Giken limited slip
-ERP triple disc clutch and LWFW assembly.
The car is rock solid and fully emissions compliant, no lights, warnings or errors.
The Softronic software was used in favor of the original AWE/GIAC software because it provides a more progressive
boost map and better throttle modulation allowing the car to be much more driveable on the bottom end of the power
band.
No expense was spared on the build of this car and would cost several 10's of thousands to duplicate, anyone
familiar with these cars knows the costs of the parts and mods listed above. There are no excuses and the next
owner will surely not be dissapointed.

Porsche LMP1 to use 4-cyl hybrid powertrain [w/poll]
Wed, 11 Dec 2013With the Formula One season - and indeed his entire F1 career - now behind him, Mark Webber took advantage of his early release from Red Bull Racing to try out the new LMP1 which Porsche is developing, undertaking the final test session of 2013 before Porsche throws it head first into the FIA World Endurance Championship next April. The session - which followed previous tests at Magny-Cours, Monza, Paul Ricard and the Eurospeedway at Lausitz - was held at the Algarve circuit in Portimão, Portgual, in collaboration with Michelin, which is developing the tires for the car. But that's hardly the news here.
No, the news is the first confirmation we've seen on the type of powertrain Porsche has developed for its new Le Mans prototype: a gasoline-burning four-cylinder engine with direct injection and two energy recovery systems. This contrasts sharply with the V6 turbodiesel and single electric motor used by Audi in the R18 e-tron Quattro (or at least the outgoing version) or the naturally-aspirated V8 and single electric motor found in the Toyota TS030. Flexibility in the rules set down by the FIA and ACO give the manufacturers that kind of latitude, prompting F1 teams like Ferrari and Renault to consider developing their new engines for Le Mans prototypes as well.
At this point Porsche isn't saying how large its four-cylinder engine is or how much power it will produce. But it'll be interesting, to say the least, to see how it fares against the Audi and Toyota in next year's championship and at Le Mans when it'll be piloted by Webber, former Lola LMP1 driver Neel Jani and Audi's own 2011 Le Mans-winning pair of Romain Dumas and Timo Bernhard.
The 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona: What we learned, what we saw
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Two days after the flag dropped on the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, people are still trying to figure out what it might portend for the rest of the season. In 24 hours, two minutes and 24 seconds, 695 laps were completed by the car that crossed the line first. During that time, 67 cars began the race, 18 of them retired. There was that accident, and a red flag. There were supposedly slower classes beating supposedly faster classes. There were 16 caution periods, including that yellow flag. And then there was The Decision. And Then The Uproar. And then The Reversal.
There was also some pretty good racing, so let's have one last look at the weekend. Oh, and there was that 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO Series II...
If you want to skip the reading bits and go to the photos, there's a high-res gallery of 158 images above and a couple more below. Enjoy.
Porsche Australia price cuts in excess of $36,000 irks customers
Tue, 04 Jun 2013Have you ever gone to the store, only to become irked after learning that the new [*insert widget here*] that you bought just last week has gone through a price drop? If you're particularly thrifty, even if it's only a couple of bucks, you probably brought in your receipt to see if the store would issue you a credit for the difference. Now, imagine that the widget in question isn't a minor purchase, it's a Porsche - and the price drop isn't just a few bucks - it's thousands.
That's the unhappy scenario that recently faced a number of Australian luxury car buyers and the uncomfortable conversation awaiting the German automaker. According to GoAuto, Porsche Australia recently whacked up to $36,000 off the price of its models in order to jumpstart sales Down Under - the Panamera range itself saw cuts between $5,500 and more than $36,000. The aggressive price cut was a strategy designed to drive sales of more than 3,000 cars locally, a yearly goal originally set for 2018, but now hoped for as early as 2016.
Australia is known for its comparatively high car prices, so the dramatic price cuts were undoubtedly welcome news to potential Porsche shoppers. However, around 50 existing customers were understandably agitated by the reductions because they purchased their cars just before the adjustments took effect. Not only did they stand to lose out on the deals, they also had good reason to fear that their new cars' residual values would take a beating.
