Porsche Boxster Race / Track Day Car on 2040-cars
North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
|
I'm selling my beloved and rarely used race car to free up some
space, and dedicate myself to new things in life (other Porsche
projects I will be able to use more, and my upcoming wedding...insert
derogatory comments about my manliness here...). I never really planned
on selling it, but that's how life goes I suppose!
1997 Porsche Boxster Race / Track Day Car. Jake Raby Flat 6 / LN Engineering Engine. Vehicle has minimal use since built 4 years ago, and only used as a DE / Lapping day car, and one hill climb race. Never raced wheel-to-wheel. Zero body / tub damage ever. Approximately 20 hours on all parts in build. Every single part used was new at time of build (seriously, all the suspension, brakes, engine, everything was 100% brand new at the time and is all essentially as-new now), and all regular maintenance items were replaced at the time. Regular service done since (engine oil, transmission oil and brake fluid changed after each event). 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 $38K USD. * Car was built from an exceptionally clean and original, local Vancouver car with approximately 43500 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 (with arm restraints). * 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. * LN engineering oil filter * 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 * WEVO SS engine and transmission mounts * Tarett pulley kit installed * Several wheel / tire sets available at additional cost. Vehicle comes with one set of 18" Wheels (choose 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 * ERP bump steer adjustable front tie rods * H&R sway bars front and rear * GT3 lower control arms front and rear * Tarett rear toe links with locking plates * Rennline rear axle brace / tie down kit * 996 Brake calipers front and rear (same as Boxster S, but black instead of red calipers). * New Giro Disc front brake rotors * Pagid RS29 Brake pads * Goodridge brake hoses * GT3 Cup front brake ducts * Transmission in great order, has Quaife ATB differential installed. Early Boxster transmission had shorter ratios than later 5 speed versions. * 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. Let me know what questions you might have and I'll do my best to answer them. |

Audi RS7 vs. Porsche Panamera Turbo, which would you pick? [w/poll]
Wed, 08 Jan 2014We live in a blessed time - a time when you can buy not just one, but two (or three, or four) monstrously powerful, blazingly fast four-doors that can't only keep up with modern supercars, but in some instances, will outperform them as well. Two of the finest are the Audi RS7 and the refreshed Porsche Panamera Turbo, and Motor Trend has been messing around with the both of them in this comparison video.
MT provides a comprehensive and entertaining look at the RS7 and the turbocharged Panamera as they go through a battery of tests, before getting tossed about on both the road and the track. Starring flip-flop aficionado Jonny Lieberman, it's a must-watch, whether you're in the market for one of the two super sedans or merely want to see the former Autoblog editor again.
After having a look at the video, register a vote for the car you'd park in your driveway in our poll. Hop below for the full video from the team at Motor Trend.
2014 Porsche Cayman S
Tue, 19 Feb 2013A Blue-Blooded Valentine
I need you to understand what it's like to drive this car. I'm not talking about your ability to comprehend the words on this page or process the figures that surround the 2014 Porsche Cayman S, but rather what it feels like to take control of a car conceived, designed, engineered and manufactured to set your prefrontal cortex alight with all the glee a Zippo typically reserves for pine needles marinated in jet fuel. From the instant you put your tail in the driver's seat, the Cayman sets about impregnating your veins with a full and varied spectrum of ludicrous emotion. It's not like taking the family pickup to market, I can tell you that much.
For 2014, the next-generation Cayman features many of the same styling tweaks first displayed on the coupe's drop-top cousin, the Boxster, though a spate of mechanical changes, more power, less weight and better efficiency join the party to further differentiate this model from its predecessor. And while additions like rev-matched downshifts and electronic power steering help push the Cayman into a new era, one fact remains unchanged: This is one of the best driving cars on the market. Period. Bear with me and I'll try to explain exactly why that is.
2014 Porsche Panamera arrives with new E-Hybrid, long-wheelbase models
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Porsche will officially unveil the refreshed 2014 Panamera at the Shanghai Motor Show later this month, and there's a whole lot in store for the updated model, far beyond the minimal styling tweaks you see here. Sure, there's a new fascia with more prominent LED lighting (including full LED headlamps) and the rump has been tweaked ever so slightly, but the big news for 2014 concerns what's underneath that rakish skin.
First up, Porsche will now offer a Panamera S E-Hybrid model - a plug-in hybrid that builds on the technology first introduced in the Panamera S Hybrid that we tested in 2011. For this new application, a more powerful electric motor and higher-performance battery have been fitted (official specs have not been released just yet), and Porsche says the battery can be recharged in just two and a half hours when the car is plugged in to a 240-volt outlet, and the charging (as well as other vehicle data) can be monitored via a new Porsche Car Connect app available for Android and iOS devices.
The E-Hybrid will have an all-electric driving range of "greater than 20 miles" and will be able to travel at speeds up to 84 miles per hour solely on electric power.
