This is a 1984 Sunroof Carrera, 5 speed
brought to you in the rare and desirable color of Rubinrot (Ruby Red) over beige/tan leather interior. The car
(which I named “Emma”) has 175,755 miles. She is an original Northern California car that, other than a five
year stint in Arizona, has remained in California ever since. According to the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity
(which is included with the car) Emma was “born” on 12/01/1983 and delivered to Martin Johnson Porsche Audi in
Oakland, Ca where she was sold to the original owner on 01/17/84.
I have a 2” thick binder (which will be included with the car) filled with interesting history and service
records dating back to the mid-90s. It is fascinating that every owner added to the binder, with their
improvements. It even has all the bill of sales from each title transfer. It’s interesting to see the value
increase with every sale.
The original owner sold the car in the late 90s with 97,881 miles. In the past 2 decades, Emma has gone through the
hands of 5 owners, each a care-taker of this beautiful ride and improving on it’s condition. The binder clearly
shows what each owner did to ensure that this car was reliable, functional, well maintained and most of all, a
blast to drive! Each care-taker made their improvement, enjoyed the car, then passed it on to the next care-taker.
The majority of the paint is original but there was spot painting in 2007. According to the receipt, this included
the front bumper and spoiler as well as the drivers door and right side quarter panel. The paint shows very well
considering it’s age but there are some scratches on the passenger door as well as some minor chips elsewhere as
would be expected on a car of this age. However the shine is great and the clear-coat is solid. The silver
“CARRERA" decals complement the silver spoked Fuchs wheels very nicely!
Here are some enhancements that the car has received over the years:
Lowered to European specs and a performance alignment. (Handles great!)
After-market oil cooler. (Runs about 1/3 the way up the temp gauge.)
After-market stereo is just so-so sounding.
It has “Turbo tie-rod ends” and a bump-steer kit.
After-market shifter bushings and a Weitmeister short shift kit, but the shifting feel is just so-so. (In my
opinion.)
After-market upgraded AC system that blows VERY cold! (This was install 11,000 miles ago, by the Arizona owner.)
Here is a brief list of repairs done in the past 50K miles or so, and associated odometer readings and costs:
Chain tensioners and misc. 120366 $1,348
F&R struts inserts and housings. 125914 $2,110
“Major service” and misc. 128604 $1,452
New clutch kit and misc. 135050 $1,893
CV Joints, sway bar link 141371 $1,399
“Major service” and misc. 142643 $1,185
Rebuilt rack and new wheel bearings 160*** +/- ??
The seats and carpet were replaced with new proper materials, back in 2007. (They look nearly mint condition!) The
headliner is perfect.
When I bought the car, it had a sport exhaust on it that was installed by the previous owner in Arizona. In order
to pass smog in CA, I had to put it back to stock, with new CATS. I bought the car with 173K miles and here is what
I’ve done in the past 3K miles:
All new exhaust including new catalytic converters
Front and rear brake pads
New deck lid gas strut
New plugs
New cap and rotor
New hood gas strut
Oil change with Swepco 20/50 (Twice)
New o-ring, vent hose and oil pressure switch (To eliminate minor leaks.)
After the above service, I drove it to the smog shop to get it smogged. The technician commented that there was
something wrong. When I asked him what it was, he mentioned that the emissions seemed impossibly low. (See picture)
I guess that’s what you get with new CATS and a complete tune-up!
All gauges and lights work. Sunroof and power windows work nice and smooth. Tires have about 60-70% tread left. As
mentioned above, the brake pads are essentially new, front and rear. Things that don’t work or need attention:
The clock doesn’t work.
I get an occasional grind into first gear. (Or maybe it’s into second gear??)
Cruise control doesn’t seem to work. (Or I don’t know what I am doing?)
I can let this car set for 2-3 months and just turn the key and it starts, idles, runs and drives flawlessly. Oil
temp stays cool and oil pressure is great. Bottom line: this is a well sorted, reliable and fun car to drive!

2017 Porsche 911 Carrera experienced from the passenger seat
Sat, Sep 26 2015Autoblog joins Porsche for Rennsport Reunion V at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, the fifth international gathering of all things Porsche. If you've ever had a picture of a Porsche on your wall or dreamed of owning a certain model, either that very car or one just like it is here. Watching three 917 racers blaze over the rise at the front straight and down into turn one can make a viewer think, "So this is how Steve McQueen felt..." It was a modern Porsche that delivered one of the highlights of the first day, though: we rode shotgun for three hot laps of the track in the new turbocharged 991.2-series 911 Carrera S, with Thomas Krickelberg, director of powertrain for the 911 model line, our pilot. We cornered him and August Achleitner, vice president of the 911 product line, for a few questions about the changes. What do you call the standard 911 now that it has turbocharged engines? Carrera. If you're wondering what to call the standard 911 now that they have turbocharged engines, the answer is: Carrera. Krickelberg said, "In-house we call them 'little turbo' and 'big turbo,'" but the Carrera is a model line within the 911 model line, the big boy 911 Turbo is a second model line within the 911 family. One will continue to be called Carrera, the other simply Turbo. The move to turbocharging came to serve the twin kings of performance and fuel economy, but engineers played around with numerous configurations. A non-turbo engine displacing about 4.0 liters – that's as big as the 9A1 engine block can go – was considered, but that setup couldn't deliver the desired fuel efficiency. Krickelberg said engineers considered a small-displacement block of around 2.0 liters, but that was abandoned because "takeoff behavior was worse" because the turbo was called upon to do too much of the heavy performance living. Krickelberg added, "Not only that, but there was a too big a gap between real-world fuel economy and homologation fuel economy." Base Carrera and the Carrera S models haven't used the same engine displacement since the 996 series departed at the end of 2004. Achleitner said, "We found 3.0 liters is the best solution to get the best mix of fuel and air in combustion chamber - it offered the best geometry, bore and stroke, and the size of the walls.

Porsche 911 hybrid could get green light after all
Wed, May 13 2015The prospect of producing a hybrid version of the Porsche 911 has been on and off the table more times than we'd care to count. But before the year is up, the German automaker will make up its mind whether or not it will put the idea in motion. Porsche currently offers more plug-in hybrids than any other automaker. And according to Porsche CEO Matthias Muller in speaking with Automotive News, the opportunity exists to expand the powertrain technology to every model in the company's lineup, including the 911. The sports car would likely be the next in line for hybridization, said Muller, giving Porsche a direct competitor to the BMW i8. It wouldn't be the first time Zuffenhausen would slot a hybrid powertrain into the iconic rear-engined coupe, having previously raced the 911 GT3 R Hybrid (pictured above), but it would be the first road-going version available to customers. "That is a technique which we at Porsche are very familiar with," Muller told AN, "so we can suppose that we could have plug-ins all over the model range, not only to save fuel but also to boost the performance of these cars." Currently the E-Hybrid versions of the Cayenne and Panamera which Porsche offers account for roughly 15 and 11 percent of their respective model lines' sales in the US, while the 918 Spyder, of course, is offered only as a hybrid. If the 911 hybrid gets the green light, that would leave only the Macan, Boxster and Cayman without the option of electric assist. Related Video:
