Regular maintenance has been done since the work listed below was done a year ago:
Adding the 24mm wheel spacers was not as simple as it could be if we wanted to keep the original 15" phone dial rims. The spacers that come with bolts on them will not fit the back of the phone dial rim. Therefore we had to go with a regular 24mm spacer with no studs but had to change out the studs to longer ones. That didn't seem so bad until we found out that basically you have to break down the rear shafts and press the knuckle out to get to the old studs. At this point we are not the type of people that would take all that apart and put it all back together without replacing CV's on shafts, Bearings, and emergency break. So a simple job got very evolved and expensive. We did the spacers, we did the CV joints, we did the bearings, we did all new emergency breaks with shoes, and we did longer studs, and replaced all pads with new front and back.
ENGINE, DRIVE TRAIN, SUSPENSION:
We inspected the front-end and replaced inner and outer front bearings. . .. (The rest of the front end was in really good condition and did not need anything else addressed).
We had a compression test done on the engine, Oil change on engine, oil change on manual transmission, oil change on rear-end. . ..(Went through the oil with a magnet and found no filings), Plugs, cap, rotor, wires, new electronic injectors, fuel Pressure regulators, new Fuel rails, New Gas Tank, and Both fuel pumps back at the tank, along with replacing all old rubber lines.
Disassembled the entire top of the engine (all intake), which gave us room to clean, paint and detail the engine compartment. Reassembled the entire intake system with new gaskets, rubber, vacuum lines, and with cleaned and rebuilt throttle body.

BODY AND EXTERIOR:
Car is original Guards Red Single Stage Paint
We took the original paint job on this car and gently rubbed it out and put a fine coat of wax on it. The exterior of the car has been maintained over the years by NICK ORSO'S BODY SHOP in Syracuse NY. The only part of the car that has ever been repainted was the front nose because of chips and scratches from highway driving.
The wheel wells and under side of the car have been LIGHTLY brushed, cleaned, and repainted.
All four rims have been sanded down and refinished.
Interior:
We completely took the entire inside of the car apart. Pulled seats, carpet, dash, interior panel's right down to the floor boards. This is the way I like to detail the inside of a 928.
We installed a new stereo system and replaced all factory speakers from 1980 with updated equipment including a nice 6 channel stereo with sub subwoofer. Cleaned, shampooed, detailed, all interior panels, carpet, dash pieces and treated with leather treatment. Reinstalled all interior cleaned and leather treated.
Installed custom LED lighting for the under areas of the inside floor and the dash display. The lights on the original dash are not bright enough for me. These lights can be turned on or off as desired.
We purchased new red carpets with back 928 lettering for front foot area to accent the front compartment.
Installed Panther shift knob with red leather boot
Replaced the switches for the windows.
All new windshield wipers all the way around
We completed total fuse box maintenance. Replacing all fuses and relays, cleaning and making sure all contacts are good, and that all electrical options work correctly.
We replaced all light bulbs in the entire car.

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel
Fri, 26 Apr 2013Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.
Petrolicious details why the Porsche 911 is something special
Thu, 26 Sep 2013The Porsche 911 is a special car, if for no other reasons than it's been continuously produced since 1964, with nearly every generation regarded as being at or near the top of its class. But why the rear-engined icon has done so well among enthusiasts and regular drivers alike can't always be explained easily. To truly understand the 911, you have to experience the whole package, and that means driving one.
While just about every publication has raved about the Porsche, commercial director, race driver, photographer and 911 owner Jeff Zwart explains to Petrolicious why he was drawn to the legend as a young child, and why he still loves them today.
Zwart's professional and personal life are inextricably linked to the 911, and hearing him talk about the car and its history makes for fascinating viewing. Watch the video below to hear Zwart's story and see him drive a couple examples from his collection: an early 911 and the 964-generation Carrera 4 he won Pikes Peak with for the first time - a car that happens to be equipped with the 959 Paris-Dakar's fascinating torque-split transmission. Enjoy!
Father-son team grows close by building tuned Porsche
Mon, 21 Jul 2014We've seen several heartwarming videos of kids bonding over cars with their parents, whether racing together or giving them as gifts. The story of Leh Keen and his father McGrath, though, is somewhat different. Not many dads are looking for a vehicle quite this mental.
As Leh tells it, his dad saw a video online of one of the wild Porsches from Japanese tuner Rauh-Welt Begriff and decided that he needed one of the creations in his own garage. Since Leh knows something about cars himself as a driver for Alex Job Racing in the United SportsCar Championship, McGrath put his son in charge of managing the build from the company.
When the car made it to the US for completion from Rauh's famed builder Nakai, father and son bonded over the red, widebody 993-platform 911. The final product is certainly eye-catching. Scroll down to watch the video that features not only an engrossing father-son tale but also a seriously wicked, tuned Porsche from one of Japan's finest.
