Porsche Boxster Race Car / Ln Engineering / Flat 6 Engine on 2040-cars
North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
|
1997 Porsche Boxster Race / Track Day Car. Jake Raby Flat 6 / LN Engineering Engine.
Vehicle has minimal use since built 4 years ago by Scan Automotive Inc. (www.scanautomotive.com), and only used as a DE / Lapping day car, and for one hill climb race. Never raced wheel-to-wheel. Zero body / tub damage. Approximately 20 hours on all parts in build. Every single part used was new at time of build, and all regular maintenance items were replaced at the time. The car is street registered in BC / Canada and can be insured as a road car (helpful if you want to keep your car insured properly in case of the 'worst'). Can be driven on the road with the appropriate tires, but it's not really a road car any more. Built to be a fun to drive, friendly, reliable and safe track day car with no expenses spared. For a BC buyer, the car is insured as a 'modified' vehicle and as such, is cheaper to insure and has greater value coverage than as a normal '97 Boxster in the event of a loss. Since it's a registered street car, I'm sure importing to the US wouldn't be much difficulty as it's easy to establish ownership. The car is a Canadian market / registered car. Cost to replicate would be massive, Asking $40K USD. * Car was built from an exceptionally clean and original, local Vancouver car with approximately 43000 Miles on it at the time. Originally black, but painted Lamborghini Grigio Telesto after the first couple driving events (was WAAY too hot inside with the black paint, looked really mean though). * Cage was built by Specialty Engineering along with wing upgrights to mount 996 GT3 Cup wing * Second stock decklid without wing included (black), with hood pin catches already fitted. Easy swap. * Doors have been opened up and removed standard glass / window regulators, have lexan windows for transport in open trailer. * Seat mounting modified to floor on driver's side to lower seat position (Best for taller drivers) * Includes one set of 'gutted' light assemblies and a set of working headlamps (with somewhat burned lenses) * 996 Front bumper with lower spoiler * GT3 Cup retractable tow hooks front and rear * Factory aluminum hard top. Can be driven on track with top on or off. * Jake Raby built 3.6 M96 engine based on a 3.2 Boxster S featuring full suite of LN / Flat 6 Innovations improvements. Cost of building the engine was $35K USD. Makes over 300hp with short runner Boxster S intake manifold, would make more if 996 3.4 intake manifold was used. Barely 1000 miles on the engine total. * Oil Accumulator with both manual and electronic valves * New clutch and flywheel installed (stock), will include AASCO single mass flywheel with approx 2 hours of use. * Fabspeed rear exhaust and Dansk headers * Air Conditioning still fitted and functioning (great if you plan to drive on the street at all, or when sitting in the pits at the track on a hot day!) * Third radiator fitted * Several wheel / tire sets available at additional cost. Vehicle comes with one set of 18" Wheels (either Fikse FM 10 black anodized or OZ Alleggerita HLT wheels) with new Hoosier R6 tires and one set of 17" original Boxster wheels with Hoosier rain tires. * Moton Club Sport shock absorbers with H&R Race springs / tender spring package * Mode rear upper shock mounts * Tarett front upper shock mounts? * H&R sway bars front and rear * GT3 lower control arms front and rear * Tarett rear toe links with locking plates * 996 Brake calipers front and rear (same as Boxster S, but black instead of red calipers). * Goodridge brake hoses * Transmission in great order, has Quaife ATB differential installed. Early Boxster transmission had shorter ratios than later 5 speed versions. * Wevo SS engine and transmission mounts * GT3 Shift console with Tarett console to raise shifter up to steering wheel * OMP Steering wheel with quick dis-connect * Recaro Profi SPG XL seat currently fitted, but could potentially swap to another seat better suited to new owner if required. On sliders. * Schroth GT3 HANS harness fitted. Have tabs on cage to mount harnesses for both driver and passenger side * Rennline track mat for driver floor. * GT3 Euro seat in passenger side NOT included in purchase, and not available. |

Muffler Man gets racing suit to mark progress on Porsche Experience Center
Sat, 19 Oct 2013In a dramatic change of careers, a fiberglass Muffler Man statue on the side of a busy Los Angeles freeway, formerly known as "Golf Guy," traded in his clubs for a Porsche driver's suit a couple days ago. It's no coincidence, as he's standing on land that the German automaker bought from the Dominguez Hills Golf Course a couple years ago to build its west coast Porsche Experience Center - which will be complete with a test track, restoration and maintenance facilities, a cafe and restaurant, a home for Porsche Motorsports North America and more, when it's finished in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The Porsche Muffler Man will serve as the gatekeeper to the 53-acre center and overlook the test track on the side of the 405 freeway. We can't think of a better job for a fiberglass giant that used to watch golf all day than to watch Porsche road cars and racecars getting wrung out on a test track in the middle of LA. Since Muffler Men are quite adaptable, we're sure this one will fit into his new role in no time - just as easily as he can double as Paul Bunyan.
Check out the press release below for more information on the Muffler Man and the experience center, which could be the ultimate adult playground when it's finished.
Evo pits BMW M3 against Porsche Macan in drag battle
Sun, 24 Aug 2014If you want to move five passengers in very rapid fashion and you've got a $75,000 budget, two newly introduced four-door models immediately come to mind - both are the highest performing vehicles in their respective segments. But which is faster off the line, to the 60-mile-per-hour benchmark or flat-out over an even longer run? Evo took both to paved aircraft runway to find out.
In lane one we've got the all-new Porsche Macan Turbo, which boasts a twin-turbocharged, 3.6-liter V6 rated at 400 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. The Porsche is fitted with a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, and the 4,244-pound crossover has the traction advantage of standard all-wheel drive. In lane two is the all-new BMW M3, powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six rated at 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. It is also equipped with a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, but only the rear wheels of the 3,595-pound sedan are driven. Both the BMW and Porsche arrive with launch control, which helps to remove driver error off the line.
Which automaker's launch control system is better off the line? Does all-wheel-drive grip give the crossover the advantage it needs to overcome its adversary's power-to-weight advantage? Will aerodynamics factor into the results? Which would you put in your garage, and why? The video may surprise you.
Porsche 911 Targa leaks out ahead of Detroit debut
Mon, 13 Jan 2014With the doors of Cobo Center opening for the 2014 Detroit Auto Show this morning, Porsche is set to reveal its new 911 Targa in a matter of hours. But before it gets the chance, the first batch of images have already leaked out, courtesy of Chinese car site autohome.com.cn.
As expected, the new Targa appears to ditch the complex sliding glass roof panels that adorned recent versions of the semi-convertible 911 in favor of a more back-to-basics approach. An entirely removable roof panel opens up the sky, backed by a metallic B-pillar hoop in front of a large curved-glass rear window.
We'll have to wait just a little longer for the full scope of images and all the official details, but we're expecting the new Targa to carry most of the same technical specifications as the 991 on which it's based. Watch this space for more.
