1978 Porsche 924, Track Ready...turn Key And Go Race Also Street Legal on 2040-cars
Fargo, North Dakota, United States
|
This is a 1978 Porsche 924 built by Bill Katz (Katz Klassics)in the mid 90s. I visited with Bill, a well know car builder, before I purchased the car last year. Bill said he put the "best of the best" in the car for his wife to race at the track. You can check out his e bay store and his website to see some of his items. Bottom line is this car was built by an expert and is a ton of fun to take to the track. I wanted to get started in road track driving and found the car for sale last year in Minnesota. I invested some money to go through the brake system (replaced rear brake hoses), 4 wheel alignment for the track and had a general overall tune up to run at the track including; New Inner Wheel and Outer Wheel Bearings and a new strut to replace one that was leaking. This car had no problem passing track inspection and I ran it last September. Visiting with Bill regarding what he put into the car, he recently told me: Turbo fuel pump, Audi 5cy turbo fuel pressure valve regulator, throttle body was ported out, adjustable cam gear, Ansa exhaust system off turbo model. He also lowered the car with a spring kit. Other details I know about the car:
I will also include RARE 14" Hoosier race slicks that have 3 laps on them, a total of five additional tires for track use that are basically NEW. I purchased from a dealer who witnessed the three test laps run in Wisconsin. From the pictures you will see extra rubber that the tires picked up because it was a very hot that day but they basically have 100% tread on them as you can see from the pictures. Each of these tires would retail around $200.00. I stored the tires off the rims for the winter in a climate controlled environment. In addition, I will include 5 extra original Porsche rims. Tires and wheels are shown in pictures. I put a reserve on it but it is rather low. Really looking forward to running this car at the track this summer and don't want to sell but I need to make room for the other toys. It is a great car to get into road track with. Handles great and has enough speed to keep it interesting. Terms of Sale, SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY PLEASE! PLEASE DON'T BID UNLESS YOU HAVE ALL THE MONEY.

Porsche 918 Spyder gets tiny recall for rear control arms
Tue, 09 Sep 2014As the recent US recall of a single Koenigsegg Agera shows, even low-production supercars aren't immune from safety campaigns. Now, there's another example that even the fastest cars can have their faults. The Porsche 918 Spyder is a pretty fantastic vehicle for its ability to mix hybrid fuel economy and incredible amounts of power, but Porsche has a problem on a few units of its halo model.
According to the recall document from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Porsche needs to inspect and possibly repair five 918s in the US because the rear axle control arms may break, which could cause a loss of control while driving. In the full defect notice, Porsche says that it first noticed the problem on June 26 when the parts failed during "heavy duty durability testing (extreme race conditions)" at the Nardo test track in Italy. It transported the components back to the company's lab for inspection, and on July 18 it issued a stop-sale to inspect the suspension parts on the supercar. The automaker also contacted owners by phone to warn them not to use the car on track, until repaired.
The affected 918s will be inspected, and if the cars have the bad parts, the control arms are will be replaced. Obviously, this will be done at no cost to owners. According to a Porsche spokesperson speaking to Autoblog, in addition to the five US cars potentially affected, there were 45 worldwide. All of the cars have now been checked.

2014 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S debut [w/video]
Fri, 03 May 2013
The Turbo S will dispatch the Nürburgring in "well under seven and a half minutes."
Porsche is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its 911 Turbo in the best possible way: by announcing the next-generation of the rear-engined beast. The 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S are here, and man oh man, do they seem like the business.
Jaguar F-Type coupe to cost more than convertible?
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Jaguar may price the much-rumored F-Type Coupe above the F-Type Convertible, if a report from Australia's Drive is to be believed. What makes Jag think that such a pricing strategy would work? Porsche. Take a look at the German manufacturer's consumer site, and you'll notice that the Boxster is less expensive than the Cayman, despite being essentially the same car.
It's a fair point, and a price premium does a good job of emphasizing the sporting chops of the coupe over the open-air experience that normally entitles convertibles to higher MSRPs. It's unclear just how closely Jaguar will follow Porsche's example, though.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S boast an extra ten horsepower over a Boxster or Boxster S, and while this bump in grunt is negligible in every situation but an argument over which is "best," it isn't something to be ignored in the F-Type, particularly as cranking more power out of its supercharged engines should be a rather simple matter.
