Modesto, California, United States
|
PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS Engine and All Mechanical Hello and welcome! My name is Mike and Im selling my beloved 1983 Guards Red Porsche 944. I have owned this car for a little over 3 years now and have done pretty solid restoration on it. I first purchased the vehicle with a blown head gasket and it had a few oil leaks. I have a shop so i decided to pull the motor out of the car and do a full rebuild. The rebuild included all of the following and MORE but i may forget a thing or two. Full top end head gasket kit (comes with tons of new seals for a top end rebuild), Full bottom end oil pan kit(same thing comes with many seals to rebuild lower block).87+ oil pan and baffle, Oil cooler kit. Main bearings, rod bearings and nuts, piston rings. I also had the transmission replaced with a low milage one because the other transmission had a bad pinion ring. The CV Axles where rebuilt also at the time or transmission swap. The fuel filter was replaced and the fuel pump as well. All new fuel injectors and a FULL tune up. Ignition Coil, Magnacore Wires, spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor and air filter all replaced. New Fuel pressure regulator and fuel pressure dampener. Updated 87+ exhaust headers. New Motor mounts, New DME temp sensor and coolant temp sensor, New radiator and hoses.New Starter Silicon Vacuum line Kit so all vac line are new. Front and Rear Koni Yellows and the front have coil overs on the by ground control. The front and rear rotors are slotted and have good brake pads. Timing Belt and Water pump and all dollars and tensioners have been replaced within 5k miles. Lasso Pump and Gates belts with Porsche rollers and tensioners. The clutch is SACH brand and has about 40k miles on it. Shifts smooth and is in great operating condition. Also has new Master and Slave cylinders. Red throttle response Cam.The exhaust is stock but i did have a Vband installed so i can make it a straight pipe within 20 minutes. Currently it has the Cat on the car and yes it passes smog beautifully! Will come with a REAL Stainless steel 2.25 inch pipe with Vbands already welded so its like a straight forward swap. Front wheel bearings are new and the Manuel Steering Rack has been rebuilt new inner and outer tie rods and boots. Welmister Bushings on the Control arms and new Porsche bushings on sway bars. The car comes with the FULL ROUGE TUNING KIT. Look it up if you don't know what that is. It will come with an original and functional ECU and AFM. The car is set up for California heat so i have the 71*C thermostat and sensors in the car so it runs cool. I upgraded the radiator fans to the later style 6 bladed because its much more quite than the 3 bladed. Also has new hood liner in black.The oil is 20w 50 Valvaline R! Racing oil with High Zinc and it has a porsche filter on it. There is more but I'm forgetting it. All of this has been done in over the corse of 3 years. Ive driving this car to Oregon and Washington with NO ISSUES, I've also driven it to L.A in summer and never had one issue. Its a great car for being 31 years old! Interior and all Ascetics The interior had good condition leather/cloth seats. I REPLACED them with seats from an 86 turbo, no rips and the leather is soft. The carpet is pretty black still and not crackled. The rear trunk carpet and the PORSCHE script door panels are from an 83 and ad a nice touch to the car. The rear top half of the seat i Took out but it has a PERFECTLY OPERATING cargo net! Ill install it prior to sale. The headliner has been replaced and it has a Manuel sunroof. The rear hatch is from an 83 turbo and dose not rattle and closes like it should. The lights in the Dash have been replaced and they all work, even the center console. I have 2 steering wheels one is the MINT original 3 spoke and the one installed now is a MINT Momo prototipo with a NRG 2.5 gen Quick release hub. The Shifter boot is new and the bushings inside of it also. The exterior paint is an 8/10 THIS IS NOT A GARAGE QUEEN! I DRIVE THIS CAR Everyday! I love it! The paint has a few chips in the front and the occasional scratch but is very Verrrry presentable and again I'm picky so to some this may be a 9/10 for exterior. The car sits on Original 15x7 and 15x8 Staggered Fuch rims in a RSR style finish. It has Falken Sincera Tires with 90% tread life. There rated for 80k miles.I had the Camshaft tower Powdercoated and the intake manifold. I always get compliments and its a very presentable car. Reason for selling and things to be looked at The reason I'm selling my 944 is because i want a 1986 944 turbo in guards red with black leather and fuchs. I drove my friends turbo and fell in LOVE all over again. Im not selling it because its not running or its going to blow up. This is a very well maintained car! Some things that should be addressed by the new owner are that the A/C blows Kind of cold, so I'm assuming it will need a recharge BUT it uses R12. Ive put a thermostat on the vent and it'll get down to 77*F but in a 100* summers heat you'll be a little sweaty to be honest.The odometer is broken it needs a new gear (944online its 20$)The other issue which i have taken precautions for is the lower Balance shaft. I replaced the cover because the bearing was worn in there when i first bought the car and did not know at the time that they are block specific so you'll need to find a 83 cover and get it machined a few thousandths to have it fit properly. I have reinforced the pick up tube and i locktite all respected bolts and nuts. Ive NEVER had any issues with oil pressure and i know serval people online who also don't have a Balance shaft belt on there car and have never had issues, just replace the motor mounts every 60k miles like they should be and you'll be fine. If this is an issue for you then look for another 944. I have priced it according to this factor. I have plenty of receipts that i will supply with the car and even have the original Manuel, Also i have tons of extra parts and tools that ill throw in, like the timing belt tools and fly wheel lock and extra spark plug wires and what not. IF i get my asking price i will have the car Professionally detailed, buffed and waxed also and i will fill the tank for you. Car is being sold as is.

Porsche releases new images of LMP1 racecar
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Porsche has released another batch of images of its LMP1 competitor preparing for its debut season in 2014. This isn't the first we've seen of the new car, as June saw four images of the new racer undergoing testing. Where those images looked merely like someone taking pics during the test, the 11 new images seen above have all the hallmarks of highly polished PR shots.
That aside, the camo-covered cars still provide another look at what the new LMP1 car will look like when it arrives next season. The taillights follow the example set by Audi, by vertically mounting ultra-thin LEDs on the tips of the rear wing, while the LED headlights sport the four-prong look that Porsche has been pushing of late. Besides those two items, its difficult to make out many details due to the amount of camo.
Porsche's LMP1 effort will be focused on the FIA World Endurance Championship, which will see the revered brand return to the top flights of the 24 Hours Of Le Mans with F1 ace Mark Webber behind the wheel. As we've mentioned before, the German brand has set up a dedicated microsite that will cover its newest racer's progress.
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

Meet the man that discovered and restored the oldest existing Porsche
Tue, 11 Mar 2014Luciano Rupolo is an absolutely fascinating gentleman. He was born in France but spent nearly his entire life in Italy as an auto mechanic running his own shop. His grandfather and father instilled a love of sports cars in him that he carried on by historic racing in Italy for decades. He saw his life-long automotive passion repaid when he found and restored the car that might have been the first Porsche registered for the road.
You can spot in his garage a split-window Corvette, Ferrari 250 GTE and other exotics, but Rupolo's most interesting automotive story concerns his Iso Grifo Competizione (pictured above). The sports coupe was found in the Canary Islands as little more than a shell, but Rupolo got help from a prestigious source for its restoration. The result is a motoring masterpiece.
Rupolo is a fantastic storyteller with a captivating, tale to tell. Settle in, scroll down and watch the bittersweet documentary about his life with one of the first Porsches.
