selling my 1994 Porsche 968, i have owned the car since 2007 and have loved every minute of it. Selling because I simply do not use it enough. My friend and I were talking and I decided the money from it could much better be used than the car sitting in the garage. The car has approximately 145,000 miles on it. The odometer gear did break (and has been replaced) but for while I had to keep track of miles by hand. The car passed emissions with flying colors last month as well as inspection. If you are turned off by it looking like a "race car" be sure to let me know. i can easily put the stock seats back in and the door numbers are stickers and come right off. Do not think of this as a dedicated track car. but more so a street car that has racing seats in it. 

It has Boxster 17" wheels with sticky Hankook rs3's 225 front 255 rear tires on it. i have the original 16"s with tires that you can have as well. the clutch and dual mass flywheel were replaced in 2008. I run Brad Penn 20w50 oil religiously. Has the factory limited slip diff, as well as the 10 speaker sound system (all speakers have been upgraded). Lindsey Racing short shift kit and Momo shift knob. The wheels are plasti-dipped black, if you do not know about plastidip its a rubber coating that just peels off, they are factory silver underneath. 

The car slowly over the years became more track oriented. total track days "DE's" is 6. some of the more track oriented mods are: 
-driver and passenger racing seats (have original power grey seats)
-Sparco 5 point harnesses (original 3 point seat belts still installed)
-928 S4 front brakes 
-Porterfield r4-s brake pads all around
-more aggressive brake bias valve, forget the valve number but its the usual upgrade. 
-aftermarket Koni yellow struts all around
-coil over kit with 300# springs, lowered
-custom Dual setrab oil cooler, car now holds 10 quarts of oil
-Sparco steering wheel (brand new, not a used one)
-AEM Digital oil temp gauge 
-crank scraper 
-oil pan baffle 
-rear seat delete with custom fiberglass replacement (have orginial rear seats as well)
-custom one off 3d-printed velocity stacks for the well known "air box mod" holes. 
-upper chasis brace
-design one racing lower chassis brace
-design one racing "roll cage" with the diagonal brace and harness bar. 
-RS barn cat back exhaust
-RS barn stage 1 chip

Decided to do rod bearings, and one thing led to another and the whole motor was apart. I have a full build sheet i will attach in the pictures. stock build, besides a couple of things:
-4 angle valve job and fully rebuild head
-crank scraper
-oil pan baffle welded in
-intake manifold hot tanked and bead blasted, then powder coated
-all of the balance shaft bushings and oil pump drive gear replaced
-variocam pads and chain replaced
-head was shaved, thus compression has been increased
-Wide Fire head gasket

the bad:
-paint is not that good, always planned on a paint job "one day"
-dash is cracked (have a dash cover on it)

-couple places where the clear coat has started to chip (rear bumper, sunroof)

-motorcycle fell into the passenger door and it was repainted poorly

-Drivers door was keyed and repainted so/so



probably forgetting some stuff, will add anything else i remember. 


In the picture of the cylinder head, the spot that is corroded was ground out by the machinist and new aluminum was welded in, and then the head was resurfaced. 


On Aug-27-14 at 21:30:35 PDT, seller added the following information:

It also has MO30 front and rear sway bars with Derlin bushings. 

again, as if i think of anything else i will be sure to add it.

Driving 50 years of Porsche 911 history

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

Raiding The Porsche Museum For A Fun Track Day
It seems everyone is celebrating anniversaries this year: it's Aston's hundredth, Lamborghini's fiftieth, Ford Mustang's fiftieth, Chevy Corvette's sixtieth - and Tesla just turned ten or something. It's been a little out of hand, frankly, all these forced marketing festivities, but if we had to pick one milestone to really celebrate hard and party all night, the Porsche 911 would be at the top of our list.
Get ready for a major 911 blowout bash at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show. It was on September 12 back in 1963 at this very show where Porsche unveiled its "901" painted in a rather boring shade of beige. Though drably finished, the car caused a worldwide frenzy in the budding German sports car sphere.

Porsche 919 Hybrid revives Porsche's factory Le Mans efforts

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

After months of teasing with camouflaged testers, Porsche has finally unveiled its prototype entry for the 2014 World Endurance Championship, the 919 Hybrid. Porsche, you may recall, hasn't had campaigned a factory team at Le Mans in years, so the 919 is nothing less than their recommitment to endurance racing.
Combining a 2.0-liter V4 (yes, a V4) that revs to 9,000 rpm, the 919 produces around 500 horsepower with a pair of energy recovery systems. The first system recovers the heat energy from exhaust gasses as they pass through an electrical generator, while the second system is a bit more familiar. Using a setup similar to what is found on the production 918 Spyder, a generator on the front axle recovers kinetic energy from the brakes, which is subsequently stored in a battery system. That power can then be sent to the front wheels at the driver's command, effectively turning the 919 into an all-wheel-drive racecar.
Despite these various forms of motivation, Porsche doesn't claim to be seeking outright power supremacy, with Chairman Matthias Müller saying, "In 2014, it will not be the fastest car that wins the World Endurance Championship series and the 24 hours of Le Mans, rather it will be the car that goes the furthest with a defined amount of energy. And it is precisely this challenge that carmakers must overcome. The 919 Hybrid is our fastest mobile research laboratory and the most complex race car that Porsche has ever built."

Chris Harris hits the track in the Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Sat, May 23 2015

One of the wonderful things about Chris Harris on Cars is the enthusiasm that the host brings to the screen. Granted, it would be hard not to enjoy a day driving around in a supercar that you don't own. Still, Harris brings a sense that he knows how rare these opportunities are and relishes them. In his latest look at the two sides of the latest Porsche 911 GT3 RS, you can tell this guy is having a lot of fun. The GT3 RS is a 500-horsepower, track-focused weapon, but it's expected to drive to and away from the circuit after a day of laps. Therefore, Harris decides to evaluate the attributes of this Porsche in both environments. On the road, he sweeps an orange example over some beautifully, undulating German backroads but keeps things rather tidy. However, in the latter half of the video, he arrives at the Weissach test track for a go in a purple RS. There, he really lets the rear hang out.
