Original Numbers Matching 930 Turbo on 2040-cars
Princeton, New Jersey, United States
I am the third owner, having purchased from the importer in 1988. This is a Eurospec 1981 car (listed 1980 so that E Bay accepts the Euro VIN) with full DOT conversion documentation. 56000 miles on the odometer that was replaced during Federalization at 37000 miles. During my 26 years of ownership, the car has been continuously garaged and carefully maintained. In 2002, 7000 miles ago, the engine was fully rebuilt. New cylinders, pistons, cams, valves, hardware, starter rebuild, alternator rebuild, new clutch, rebuilt turbo. The head bolts had become stretched (common problem) and resulted in a full tear down. More recently, Peter Dawe Motorsports performed a service and installed 964 cams for smoother idle and a broader torque curve. Other items replaced during the years include CV joints, tie rods, brakes, sun roof cabling, air pump and the stereo. The current sound system is an Alpine (removable face) with CD. Paint is original with some patina and dulling on the roof. There are two minor dents that I chose not to repair until a full paint job. One dent is about 3 inches long on the passenger rear fender above the light. The other is an indentation above the passenger front wheel well. There is no rust or corrosion. Interior is very good with light wear on the drivers seat at the bolster piping, but leather is supple and completely intact. The car drives very well. Shifting is smooth although 3rd gear needs a slower shift. This has been the case since purchased. With the older Borla, the engine sounds great with a sharp note on acceleration and nice burble off throttle. The AC system is intact but non functional. Tires are older Dunlop 245-45-16's and 225-50-16's with 1/4 inch of tread. Wheels (Fuchs original) are exceptional (no pits, no dings). Original service kit, owners manual and all receipts from 26 years are included. This is a very nice unmolested and numbers-matching car for the enthusiast that is looking for the right car at the right price. Never hit, never hurt, never broken. The car purchase includes a spare Y pipe, heat exchanger, stock-sound muffler, pressure gage, nose cover, sheepskin covers and electronic ignition module. The buyer will not be disappointed! |

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.

Jack Olsen built one Porsche to do it all
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Jack Olsen has built himself a lair called the 12-Gauge Garage, and inside that garage he built a lairy Porsche 911 nicknamed Black Beauty II. Although it looks like one of Stuttgart's models from the sixties or seventies, it is actually four decades of 911 gubbins from 1965 to 2000 thrown under one shell: the lightweight body is from 1972, the transaxle from 1977, the brakes from a 1986 Turbo, the engine from 1995, for example. It weighs 2,400 pounds and it's got 272 horsepower to get it going, but it's still a pure Porsche, Olsen saying, "If you stop thinking about what you're doing, it will remind you in very abrupt ways."
Olsen said the real point has been to have one car that does it all, so he does everything in his 911 from neighborhood runs to 7-11 to track racing - he loads the aero bits in the car and bolts them on trackside. And he says he'll never stop tweaking the suspension.
You can watch and hear the rest in Olsen's words in the video below.
