Ok guys, time to vent a little and get this out there;
If you are a regular on some of the heavy hitting Porsche Forums, such as 6Speed, Rennlist etc… then you’ve probably come across a “kill story” once or twice. John, the organizer of Rennlist actually got so tired of reading them he banned the [...]

Here’s the facts:
I have two Porsches. One of them has to go. I already know what I should do – and probably will do – but what would you do?
1976 911 S, Talbot Yellow; 2.7 liter engine with RS specs, 240 HP. It has that awesome, throaty, familiar early 911 sound, easy clutch, the lack of power steering makes you get [...]
Sports Car Purity

What makes a sports car pure in every sense? Can it really be defined as something specific? Who gets to decide what is a tried and true, purpose built sports car? Every manufacturer has their own definition of sports car and they stand behind it to the end. Porsche is a prime example of one [...]
Man of many hats

Most of my day is spent building engines, converting CIS to EFI and tuning them. I also have many other duties in the industry. I spend a lot of time as Tech Advisor for several boards including the National PCA Technical Website on turbos. Every now and then I get away to a radio station [...]

This is one of the comments I hear a lot with 996 and 997 owners! Many owners get that speed bug, and unfortunately, they find themselves limited in their 996/997 C2/4/4S’ by the naturally aspirated power. Sometimes they get outrun by a faster car on the track, other times they simply drive a [...]

Thinking back about 15 years ago, Stephen and I spent more time in the garage than we did actually inside the house. Having met him when I was 14 and marrying at 22, I had learned early on that if there was to be time spent together, it was going to be in the garage as [...]
The Brains Behind the Braun

Did you know that your car has a brain? Well, that’s because it doesn’t, but it does have an ECU, or Electronic Control Unit, which acts like a brain. The ECU controls several factors, such as ignition timing, fuel delivery, fuel metering, boost settings, rev limiters and so on. The factory sets these settings to work [...]
