The clutch recently went out of Project 944, this is a common problem with cars that have an original clutch. The original clutch on an early 944 has a rubber center that is known to wear quickly, especially if driven hard. The replacement clutches that are available are able to withstand more power and abuse as they have a spring center instead of a rubber one.… Read More

The Porsche 914 has been with us for 40 years now and has ofter been considered to not be a “True” Porsche. Even with it’s great handling and good performance (at least in the 2.0 and 914-6 forms). Unfortunately, the car has and perhaps always will be tainted by it’s VW roots (in fact in Europe the car was sold as a VW-Porsche).… Read More

You may have heard the rumors that Porsche is considering using an Audi TT sourced engine in future versions of the Boxster and Cayman. The reason for this has been reported to be to increase sales of the Boxster and Cayman lines. It has also been reported that this decision may be due to the need to reduce emissions due to new European Union rules.… Read More

Porsche’s newest attempt at a transmission that does not require a clutch pedal is the best yet. In fact the PDK actually is one tenth of a second faster from 0-60 than the manual transmission. However, the PDK is one mile an hour slower than the manual transmission in the top speed category. So, now that the performance of PDK is up to par would you buy a new Porsche (I’m talking about a 911 or Cayman, not a Panamera) with PDK ?… Read More

The Porsche 928 is one of the best GT cars ever made. However, due to the cars break in tradition and stepping on the 911′s toes by becoming the top of the line Porsche has kept this car from getting attention from Porsche collectors. This has caused some very good, well maintained examples to be available for extremely low prices consider the car that you get.… Read More

Not that long ago I was talking to a friend of mine that drives a Lotus Elise (he hasn’t seen the light yet) and we where talking about our cars. He started telling me how little his car weighs (about 1,800 lbs) and how much horse power (156 bhp) and torque (129 ft-lb.) the car has. What stood out to me is how close the engine power output is (of course his car weighs 800 lbs less than mine, but the 944 has 143 bhp and 137 ft-lb of torque) to my 1983 Porsche 944.… Read More

This is my first of what I hope will be many posts about Porsches.  My hope for this blog is that it will become a free on-line magazine to allow for the love of all things Porsche to spread.

So, for my first post I decided to write about one of the biggest issues in the Porsche world. For me this is a big topic as I currently have a Porsche 944 (please don’t stop reading yet purists) that I am working on restoring.… Read More
