Regretfully I am going to have to sell my 914 project that I have been working on for five years due to a career change and lack of time. The car is 90% t0 95% complete. My vision in this build was to take a 914 and keep it true to its origins and increase the performance with reliability and drivability. I wanted a car that had some of today’s creature comforts that could be driven on a distant trip and then driven at a club event for fun. With that in mind I wanted to keep the original 2.0 motor but make it more powerful, efficient, and reliable. I also wanted the car to be climate friendly. The engine has increased to a 2.1 liter using a contemporary fuel injection system from CB Performance. It has 40mm throttle bodies and 25 lb. injectors controlled by a computer that uses modern day sensors. It has been programmed by CB Performance. One nice attribute is you have the ability to hook up a laptop and connect with CP Performance as they will tune the car from wherever you are located. A high pressure fuel pump along with an HEI ignition system with an MSD control box was also installed. Stainless steel fuel lines run the distance of the car from tank to motor. All new hoses and fuel lines installed. Taylor wires installed. A new Bosch alternator was installed. Larger pistons and barrels installed along with a strong Web cam was installed. All new internals were used including ARP rod bolts. The engine is putting out somewhere between 140 and 150 hp. A new flywheel and HD six-spring clutch were installed, the transmission is very smooth. A new Bursch exhaust was installed.

The car has been in California its whole life. I know one owner had it from 1986 to 2008. He was an active PCA member. The next owner had for a few months and planned to restore it but changed his mind. I purchased the car in 2009. It had the steel flares and its only rust issue was in the rear driver corner of the rear trunk due to a light seal. I had that professionally replaced with new metal from Auto Atlanta. Other than that this is a rust-free car including the battery tray area. I also installed all new weather stripping on the entire car. The rear glass was removed, cleaned, and properly resealed. A new heat shield was installed in the engine compartment. There are just a few pieces left (engine bay) that need installing. The targa top has been completely resealed, painted, and a new headliner has been installed. The paint is Mexico blue and is a great Porsche color. It was originally Olympic blue. The car will need to be repainted as there are some flat spots, a crack on the rear trunk lid (see pic), a scrape on the front passenger fender (see pic), and mild orange peel. It looks good from a distance but a re-spray is in order. The rear driver trunk hinge broke (common on the 914 due to the stress from the trunk spring). I have the new hinge and a trunk shock kit specific to the 914 to delete the trunk spring. This should eliminate future broken trunk hinges.

The suspension and brakes are very strong. The entire front end is from a 1988 Carrera including the steering rack. Slotted and cross drilled brakes were added, the calipers completely rebuilt and 140 lb. rear springs. Stainless steel brake lines, new five lug rear discs, new pads all the way around, a Weltmeister bump steer kit, a 911 master cylinder, turbo tie rods, and Bilsteins at all four corners were added. I picked up some 16x6 and 16x7 Fuch wheels from a 911 SC that fit nicely under the flairs. The car’s handling is really amazing.

The interior was covered with fat mat (similar to dynamat) and new carpet was installed. The seats were reupholstered in vinyl and cloth. I added a Momo steering wheel. Dual stage s eat heaters were installed at the time and operate off the center console. It came with a dealer installed air conditioner. I had a 134 compressor and update kit installed. It works great and robs no power from the engine. I also have all new heater hoses that need to be installed. The dash needs attention. I have the vinyl kit for the windshield area but a cap should be purchased ($120) along with the radio area basket weave ($16-$29) to bring the interior back to pristine condition. I had custom made Lloyd floor matts that are included. I have the rear view mirror that needs to be remounted. A newer fuse block was installed using blade fuses. The wiring still needs to be sorted in this area. Everything worked on the car before the installation except for the horn. I do have the original horn but I don’t know if it works or not. Some of the lights and gauges need to be sorted since the installation.

I have shared all the information I could, the good and the unfinished. I have spent over $12,000 on parts and $4000 on labor not including the purchase of the car. I have all receipts to verify this. I used Pelican Parts and Auto Atlanta as my primary sources but I also used other sources as needed. With the finishing touches I indicated, this car will special. I have the pink and it is currently on non-op.

2014 Porsche Cayenne Platinum Edition is the ace of base

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

If there's one automaker that certainly doesn't skimp on the special edition models, it's Porsche, and here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, we're getting our first look at yet another unique take on one of the company's most popular models. It's called the Cayenne Platinum Edition, and while many special models build off of higher-trim vehicles, this one adds a bit of flair to the most basic version of the luxury SUV.
The Platinum Edition is available on Cayennes with the base 3.6-liter V6 or the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. Platinum models are set apart from other models with the addition of silver exterior accents on the grilles, window trim and rear spoiler, as well as the two-tone, black-and-beige interior scheme. It also comes standard with the eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission, Power Steering Plus, Park Assist, the Convenience Package and Bose audio.
The cost of entry? $63,000 for the naturally aspirated Cayenne or $66,900 for the diesel. That's a full $13,000 more than the base model, but Porsche says it's actually a bargain as opposed to selecting all of those options individually. Have a look below for Porsche's official release.

2017 Porsche Panamera caught testing without camo

Mon, Mar 14 2016

One of these days, Porsche is going to introduce the 2017 Panamera. That day is not today, though, so we've got yet another round of spy photos showing the new sedan undergoing winter testing. This is easily the closest we've seen to a production body on the new Panamera – it's completely free of camouflage aside from the unconvincing stickers over the headlights and taillights. They're not very good, though. We can see the taillights will adopt a similar look to the new 911 Â– they'll be slim LEDs that occupy a lot less space than on the current car. The headlights are slimmer too, but there's no light being shown through the stickers, so we can't discuss actual changes as easily as we can on the tail. As we've said before, the Sport Turismo Concept styling has been plainly converted to create an evolved version of the Panamera's existing design language. According to our spies, the next Panamera will ride on a new MSB platform that aims to slash 200 pounds of fat from the next-gen model. Aluminum and high-strength steel play a big roll in that weight loss. Underhood, there should be the usual range of six- and eight-cylinder engines with a plug-in-hybrid option. As we reported previously, expect the Panamera to show up at a European show, likely Paris or possibly Geneva in 2017. Related Video:

Porsche issues stop-sale on Cayenne Diesel in US

Wed, Nov 4 2015

As reported yesterday, the ongoing Volkswagen diesel emissions scandal has expanded to the VW Group's 3.0-liter TDI V6 engines. The Environmental Protection Agency's finding implicate many engines used by Audi and Porsche, including Porsche's only US domestic market diesel offering: the Cayenne. And after putting two and two together, Porsche has issued a stop-sale on its US-market Cayenne diesels. Porsche's statement is terse. They refer to the EPA's findings as "unexpected," and stress that its stop-sale order is "voluntary." And Porsche assures owners that they can continue to drive their Cayennes as per normal, like the rest of the VW Group vehicles called into question for NOx emissions. The stop-sale order will remain in place indefinitely, until Porsche can "resolve" the issue. No word as of yet as to what the fix will be for the 3.0-liter TDI engines.
