2002 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
O Fallon, Illinois, United States
Feel free to email: carlicaahlfield@rumpypumpy.net . This is a pampered Carrera 4S with a number of upgrades and modifications. I am a PCA member, this is my fifth
Porsche, have owned this vehicle for 4 years (I'm the 3rd owner, but have all paperwork), and it has lived a very
sheltered life. No winters, no rain, covered when not in use. Upgrades/Modifications:
Factory Wheels Upgraded to 19" HRE's with New Michelin Pilot Sport 2 Tires ($10,000)
Professionally Installed K40 Laser/Radar Detector/Defender ($2,000)
IMS Bearing Upgrade with Lowered Oil Pan in 2013 ($5,000) - I would STRONGLY Advise Not Buying a 996/Early 997
that hasn't had this performed
FabSpeed X-Pipe Catalytic Converter Upgrade Earlier in 2015 ($3,000)
Pioneer Double Din AVH-X5500BHS Stereo with DVD as well as Review Camera + Porsche OEM Surround Faceplate
($1,200)
GT3 Rear Wing and Front Spoiler with Rear Badge Delete (I estimate it cost the former owner well over $8,000)
MotorSport OEM Porsche Competition Clutch (Installed with IMS, Should Last Life of Vehicle, or a VERY long
time)
Clear Colored Side Markers (IMO Looks Much Sharper than the Orange)
Competition Brake Pads (Stops on a Dime)
Carbon Fiber Laminate on Door Sills & Center Counsel (This is not the cheap peel and stick, although is
removable)
Driver Seat Bottom Bolster, Passenger Seat Bottom Bolster Leather Replaced with OEM Replacement in 2015
($1,200)
After-market Shifter from a Company out of Stutgart that make a much nicer shifter than stock (also shift grid
is backlit LED, looks great at night)
Armrest/Center Storage Drawer Covered in Leather
3M Clear Bra on Quarter Panels
For what it's worth, although this is not a GT3, most people think it is (there's a big difference - including in
cost)...although that was never the intent. It gets compliments everywhere I go, and the car drives phenomenally.
Please note that this is the metallic black (Basault), that was a $2k upcharge over the regular black (looks
awesome at day and night). I'll be the first to admit this car is a bit over-invested in, however, outside normal
maintenance (oil, filter, pads, etc.) - this car has been set up for years of enjoyment. Whoever ends up with this
vehicle is going to be a very lucky buyer!

Watch the incredibly complicated operation of Porsche's new targa roof
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Despite Porsche having claimed the name, targa tops are nothing new. In addition to the semi-roofless version of the 911, plenty of cars in the past have used removable roof panels - the new Corvette Stingray has one (as have prior generations), and this type of open-air experience has been available on past vehicles like the Pontiac Solstice Coupe and Honda Civic del Sol.
But when Porsche took the top off its brand new 911 Targa here at the Detroit Auto Show, it was indeed cause for pause. Simply put, this is one of the most complicated and intricate electronic roof panel removal techniques we've ever seen, save perhaps, for the setup found on the Japanese-market Civic del Sol from the 1990s.
We won't spoil the video for you, but basically, rather than just the roof panel coming off, the entire rear glass area lifts away the body in order for the small section over the passenger compartment to slide back. This has to be incredibly expensive to repair once it inevitably breaks. And we highly doubt you'll be able to operate this mechanism at any speed.
Porsche Cayman GT4 spotted at the N?rburgring
Tue, 13 May 2014It was just the other day that we first caught wind of Porsche's plans to build a GT4 version of the Cayman, and now we're already looking at spy shots of the vehicle in question undergoing testing at - where else? - the Nürburgring.
With more aggressive front-end aero, a GT3-style air vent ahead of the front hood, a large wing at the back, and spindly alloys packed with over-sized brakes at each corner, this Cayman is clearly more extreme than even the range-topping GTS. The rear diffuser and central exhaust tips look about the same as those you'd find at the back of the Cayman GTS, though.
What we can't see, of course, is what Porsche has slotted in under the rear glass, how it's upgraded the interior and how much weight it's stripped out of the thing to get it down to fighting weight, but you can bet it'll come with a substantial power bump and a stripped-out interior with racing buckets and little else to open the gap between it and the GTS... and close the gap to the 911 GT3 which it will join as the baby brother in Porsche's performance-focused lineup.

Gemballa reveals new Porsche 991-based GT convertible
Sun, 16 Sep 2012Gemballa went through the ringer last year, but rebounded with products that signal a complete turnaround. The latest is the recently-released Porsche 911 Carrera S with a Gemballa GT aerodynamics and technology package. Aero-wise, it includes carbon fiber additions beginning with a front bumper wearing the classic Gemballa air intake design and a lower, angrier splitter. New side skirts run from wheel to wheel, the final piece being a rear bumper in three sculpted horizontal sections featuring a rear diffuser tucked between six rectangular exhaust tips.
No engine mods have been made, but the technology part of the tune - springs that are 30 millimeters shorter yet still able to work with the PASM system - is claimed to make the car faster. Bringing things to a halt is a new Brembo brake system hiding behind 21-inch GForged wheels that are lighter than Porsche's standard 20-inchers.
The Gemballa GT aero kit runs €19,860 ($26,070 U.S.), which includes paint and installation if you happen to be in Germany, and we're assuming that includes the suspension modification, brakes and sport exhaust. The GForged wheels are another €9,895 ($12,989 U.S.) depending on your choice of tire. Check out the press release below for more info, and the photo gallery above for all the angles.
