1985 Porsche 944 Base Coupe 2-door 2.5l on 2040-cars
Sebastian, Florida, United States
This car was originally, built by a friend 2 years ago, for a track car, major suspension work...( bilstien shocks, weltmiester 250lb springs, bushings, alignment,camber mods, 3 in front lower, 2 inch rear lower....a very stiff car, that is perfect straight, at 120mph, even if you take your hands, off the wheel.....the engine was also tweeked a bit...Head milled, New valves, timing belt, tensioners,main bearings , water pump etc...runs awesome....a High flow Radiator was installed, belts, Hoses, and a Faster throttle response cam....Although The Guys, at German Specialties, near Tampa, are some seriously talented tech's, they aren't a Body or restoration shop....So the car looks pretty on film, but has paint imperfections, a few small dents, and dings....all in all, a 10 footer....the car was disassembled for paint, and quality materials were definitely used.....its not a concourse job, but it is awesome to drive, brakes, engine, steering, etc....awesome fun Oh yeah....she also has a racing clutch, pressure plate etc, so it is one grabby puppy, but is easy to get used to and only takes a few miles to get the hang of it...as a final note...I put a bit of carbon fiber accent, on the doors, and front splitter, the speakers are all new, and the Cd player is awesome...a very quality sound
the interior, is actually rather nice for its age, front carpets, are nice, rear carpet, is new, rear seats, have no tears, and center console is very well cared for...the dash was cracked all over ,..so I put a cover on it, and the front seats were worn, and a nice expensive pair of sheepskins...fixed em right up....so there you have it....she is a blast to drive, all lights, signals, blowers, etc work nice....the non power steering, is easy, and smooth as can be imagined....the AC delete, surely allows more torque, and the loud ..free flow exhaust, sounds like music any any RPM....I put the Baffled tip on, because it was enough to ring your ears, at speed, and that did the trick for noise.....I bought this car, because my friend, needed money, and thought it would be a good fit for me.....I love it....However,.. Im in need of money....lots of medical bills, disability dragging on 2 years....you get the Idea...The car however never made it to the track....Other projects, finances, and since I knew who built it...I couldn't resist buying her... there are a few interior trims missing..,right door pocket, sunroof access panel...canvas cargo cover...rear belts....that's about it...and the Fog lights....I put new bulbs, headlights, fan sensor..Alt belt...but that's about it...I recently drove her to Jacksonville, and back/ about 500 miles....easy breezy...no problems...there are 16X9 rear, and 16X8 front rims...they are flawless, and new.... a few monthes old...Tires are good, however the fronts are about 1/2 life....that's about it other than the fender When I came out of the store a few weeks ago, some kind soul hit the right fender, and drove away...its not a difficult fix, but I don't have the money, and Ive knocked 500 off the starting price to reflect that.....This is one helluva solid car,and the guy who built her is one talented tech...good luck, and don't hesitate to email me with questions...thanks, |

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
Porsche 918 Spyder burns to ground in gas station conflagration
Mon, 29 Sep 2014There's one fewer Porsche 918 Spyder zipping along the roads of Toronto, Canada, today. A fire at a gas station over the weekend claimed one of the hybrid supercars in a massive blaze, and a portion of the inferno was caught on video.
According to our partners to the North at Autoblog Canada, the cause of the fire hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but witnesses reportedly claimed gasoline somehow came into contact with the hot exhaust outlets that exit out of the top of the supercar's engine bay. This was just one of two 918s believed to be in the Toronto area.
Other than a possible broken heart from the owner, the fire reportedly caused no injuries, and only the Porsche and gas pump appeared to sustain serious damage. Warning, the video of the conflagration does contain some explicit language.
Porsche digitally dissects its 918 Spyder for your viewing pleasure
Wed, 02 Oct 2013At this point, you'd think we'd know all there is to know about the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder - except what it's like to drive - but Porsche has released a new video giving us a more in-depth look at its new plug-in hypercar all the same. The animated video gives us numerous cutaway looks at the 918 Spyder while giving a visual demonstration of the car's four hybrid driving modes.
Though nowhere near as exciting as watching the 918 blast around the Nürburgring in record time, this new video is nonetheless both interesting and informative. Scroll down to watch the video yourself, and be sure to check out our live gallery of the production version of the car along with a stock gallery.
