I tend to favor the older Porsche styling over the modern. Back when the 996 first made it’s debut I thought the company was heading in the wrong direction. What happened to the big round headlights, the wide tails, and the taillights stretching from side to side? I just didn’t agree with it. The car [...]

January 28th: Jagermeister 951
Posted in Uncategorized on January 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I don’t know much about this car, ok, I really know nothing about this car, other than really liking how it looks. My plan was to paint my 951 this winter to match this car, but it seems winter is quickly slipping away from me. Oh well, maybe next winter. So I leave [...]

In 1974 Porsche had undergone many changes to comply with emissions and continue their quest for better technology and faster cars. The 1974 Carrera was introduced along side the 911S with the same power plant but supported Carrera flares which were later put on all production 911’s starting in 1978. The car also received the [...]

I actually just spent an hour writing a really excellent blog on my old 1981 924T/ 937 Replica then realized that PorscheDoc already introduced you to her about a week ago. My bad. So I’ll try again with another one of my favorites.
PorschePhd’s 996TT was the car that really turned the corner for ImagineAuto bringing [...]
January 24th: 997TT, or Swamp Monster?

When this car showed up on transport from Canada, my jaw almost hit the ground. Not only from the fact that this car came down on an open car carrier, but apparently the driver had been caught in a snow storm, and well….you can see how the car looked. It was so bad, [...]
January 23rd: Is that a rocket in your pocket?
Posted in Uncategorized on January 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
When VW introduced the GTI version of the Golf to the world, it was an instant success. They invented the category “Hot Hatch” or “Pocket Rocket”. They carried that success into the second generation, but the introduction of the third generation in the mid 1990’s brought a great new 6 cylinder engine in [...]

Since everybody else is posting about cars they have owned I may as well post a little something about my own. Two Decembers ago I made the decision to sell my single turbo Subaru Legacy. The car sold fast to a guy in Omaha, NE and I set forth to find a different kind of [...]
Jan. 21st- 1978 Porsche 928
Posted in Uncategorized on January 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
In the Early 70’s Porsche began to believe their beloved rear-engine platform had reached it’s fullest potential and a fast, GT car which could blast along the autobahn all day at 170 mph was to be their newest signature. With prices north of even the most expensive 911’s, they knew they’d have to deliver a [...]

If you have ever looked for aftermarket body parts for your 944 or 924, you have probably seen this next car in GT Racing’s catalog. This is IARoxy’s 937 that PorschePhD built for her, starting with a 1981 924 Turbo.
For starters, the engine was rebuilt to Euro 8:5:1 spec using a 939 headgasket and [...]
January 19th: A Shock of a 930!
Posted in Uncategorized on January 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Under the list of crazy cars I have built over the years this is one of the top tier. This 86 930 was stout to begin with but was ready for more under the tail so to speak. We started with a 3.3 motor and threw anything we knew would make it strong, fast and [...]
