My name is Jason and I own R7 Racing & Restoration. I buy, sell, restore, modify, customize and race water cooled, front engine Porsches exclusively. I have owned somewhere near forty Porsches and presently have a dozen "water coolers." Some of them are track cars and others are cream puffy garage queens, But, once in a while that rare, special one comes along that I like enough to spend my free time dialing in and getting just right and then enjoying for a while. Well, this Turbo has been that car for the past year for me. It's the car I should probably keep, but I have two that need to go before I start building the first GTS car in November.

So, sadly, today I am offering for sale my 1987 951. She's Zermatt Silver on Oxblood Velour/Leather. The paint was resprayed before I bought the car and looks very good with a just couple of minor imperfections and the interior is also fresh and gorgeous at every corner. The silver highlights in the crushed velour corduroy seat insets make the inside bright and modern versus the typical Porsche burgundy. It was redone recently and is all like new.

The car rolls on staggered 16" phone dials with brand new Falken tires, 205/50R16 fronts and 225/50R16 rears. The rims have no curb rash, bends or dents, but have a few paint chips as pictured. They clean up nicely and do just fine on the car. I imagine they could be refinished, plasti-dipped or just sanded and sprayed in your garage, but function is foremost for me. Take a look and see what you think.

The car has a very nice Kenwood stereo with iPod/Sat/Android/HD capabilities and a small graphic display and three way Pioneer speakers all around. The power sunroof works just fine, as do the windows, mirrors, wipers, cruise control, all lights, fogs, squirters, etc... if it has a switch, it works - it's my personal car after all.

The car has the original lightweight aluminum spare, tool kit, books, sunroof cover and a bunch of nice extras. Of course, it has records of everything I am about to list that I have done to it in the past year. All of the work is less than 2000 miles old and most is in the last 300 miles.

When I bought the car last year it had about 187,000 miles on it. The prior owner started to get the car back together and was not successful in ever getting it running. He had it for five years and, while he had it titled, it was in and out of insurance and in and out of registration. Sad to say, but he was in over his head. I quickly got the car running and have driven it a little over 2,000 miles as I dialed it in. It now has 189,500ish. I began doing a little work to it and then "presold" it to a 944Online forum member. Prior to having committed the car to a buyer, I hadn't really decided what to do with it. I hadn't gotten to know her well enough just yet. However, once it was sold, I went into overdrive getting it mechanically perfect. I started at the bottom with rod bearings, a new oil pan gasket and motor mounts. Followed by new front seals, rollers and of course timing and balance shaft belts. The car got a full cooling overhaul with the radiator pulled, flushed, pressure tested and reinstalled with a new water pump, low temp thermostat, new low temp thermoswitch and new DME temp sender. The car runs at the first line all the time. I then hit both sides and did new oil cooler seals and new AOS seals. I put 1,000 miles on the car and still had a little bit of blow-by in the intake and turbo plumbing so I sent a turbo to G-Pop shop and had the guys clip the turbo and hone the exhaust port to emulate a 26/8 turbo.

When the turbo came back, it went in with a new head gasket, a bunch of silicone vacuum, a new cycling valve and a LR boost enhancer. The car now brings in boost about 2000 RPM and builds up to about 1.7-1.8 bar. I have it set to run at about between 1-1.4 bar or 14-20lbs. It is smooth as silk and has virtually no lag compared to a stock turbo. The car is an absolute rocket ship. It has a stainless ANSA exhaust and sounds as great as it runs. It has a clean NJ inspection (legit, from a state center not one I bought) good until April of 2015. Passed on her first try. She runs very clean with all new seals and a fresh turbo.

So, after I did all the work to get the car just right, the sale, unfortunately fell apart as the buyer had some problems at home and with another car and I had this perfect car on my hands, so I registered and insured the car and have been really enjoying it - making little tweaks and tunes for the last four months. As I said, mostly everything is new. Biggest deal is the fresh Turbo, but let's not discount the head gasket and everything up, rod bearings, pan gasket, motor mounts, AOS seals, oil cooler seals, front seals and rollers, water pump, thermostat, and of course belts. Just last week, I also put new stainless fuel lines as well as the feeder from the end of the rail to the regulator and PBR semi-metallic brake pads at all four corners as well as new wear-sensors. This car is good for 30,000 trouble-free miles. If it were red it would be my wife's Christmas present. It's that nice.

I will list this car locally as well as in Excellence, Panorama, Cars.com and of course on the 944 specialty forums, so I expect it will sell quickly. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time accordingly. The car is available for viewing and test drives in NJ by appointment, I can deliver the car reasonable distances and help make arrangements for longer trips.

Please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions or would like to arrange a visit. If you're on the fence for a 944 Turbo do not hesitate. This car is unbelievable. There is nothing else you can have in its price range that will deliver as much bang for the buck. I'm proud to offer it as prepared by my company, R7 Racing.

*** UPDATE TO THIS LISTING - After I posted my ad, the "AutoCheck" service displays a title discrepancy. It is what it is, but I would like to comment as to what this "discrepancy" is exactly. In PA, when a car has more than 100,000 miles, there is a category in the odometer statement called "exempt" and in order to maintain the car's odometer as actual mileage the odometer statement on the title at the time of sale needs to be notarized or otherwise certified. When I purchased the car, it had already fallen into the exempt category and I live and, therefore, title my vehicles in NJ. Of course New Jersey doesn't offer any way to reconcile this so my title says "mileage exceeds mechanical limitations." Again, I cannot definitively say anything other than what I know to be certain, but I am highly confident that this car has 189,600ish miles on it and that everything I found while working on it was consistent with such a reading.

Overnight action from the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

We won't go into a recap here, but there are still leading positions being fought for in all classes - it's so close that leads are changing when a car goes into the pits. We'll let the recap wait until the end of the race, so for now enjoy some shots from last night's action at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Techart tastefully tunes Porsche 911, Cayenne

Tue, Mar 1 2016

German tuning haus Techart is making a big showing at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, introducing modified versions of a number of Porsche products. At the fore, we have the new, all-turbo 911 range. Techart has turned its hand to both the turbocharged 911 and the new 911 Turbo (this will get less confusing, right?) with a range of upgrades covering performance and aesthetics. Techart has boosted the Carrera S from 420 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque to 460 ponies and 413 lb-ft of torque. The Turbo S gets a bigger boost, going from 580 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque to 640 hp and 649 lb-ft. It's not clear how Techart has made these gains, aside from the company's "Techtronic" engine management. Surprisingly for an aftermarket tuner at Geneva, Techart's exterior treatments are downright tasteful. There are new front and rear clips and a selection of rear wings, helpfully called Rear Wing I and Rear Wing II, while the diffusers and side skirts are also swapped out. We also dig the center-exit exhaust and its four meaty tips. On the opposite end of the equation, Techart is also modding the Cayenne range. The new Magnum Sport treatment can be applied to the base diesel-powered Cayenne and Cayenne S, the gas-powered GTS, and the Turbo with varying degrees of performance, but it's the force-induced Cayenne we're most interested. In its most potent form, the turbocharged V8 can be boosted from 520 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque to 700 hp and 678 lb-ft. At this level of performance, the Cayenne's sprint falls from 4.4 seconds to just 4.1. That ties the stock Cayenne Turbo S, but it's worth noting the Magnum Sport will do 183 miles per hour to the factory model's 176. Like the 911, there's a slew of aesthetic upgrades regardless of which Cayenne your Magnum is based on. The full body kit isn't as tasteful as the 911. The overall look is far more aggressive and dare we say aftermarket, with plenty of carbon-fiber accents, a very low ride and a serious wide-body look. In particular, the new front and rear fascia present a much more imposing appearance. There's also a carbon-fiber hood, because the aftermarket. We've snapped Techart's modified Cayenne and 911 on the floor of the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. And if you scroll down, there's also the official galleries and press releases for both models. Have a look, and register your opinion in Comments. Related Video: TECHART Personalization for the new Porsche 911 models.

Audi and Porsche squabble over future product platforms

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

In the buildup to the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans, Audi delivered an amusing video that worked on the playful rivalry between the German brand and its favorite frenemy, Porsche. We called it sibling rivalry, and at the time, it may have been just that. But just like sibling rivalries, it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, and that's just what seems to be about to happen in the formerly peaceful Volkswagen Group family.
A new report from Automobile calls out the growing animosity between Porsche, who is backed up by Bentley, and Audi, whose primary ally is Lamborghini. No blows have actually been thrown, although there is a fair amount of "he said, she said" going on.
As Porsche tells it, for example, the new global fullsize SUV architecture being developed by Audi isn't up to snuff, citing size and structure issues, as well as an inability to accommodate a wide variety of engines.
