Best Replacement Battery For My Porsche
Of course, you can jump online and search for a 12-volt replacement battery for your Porsche, that's what Google is for, right? But is that the best way to treat your performance vehicle?

Things have been a little bit weird for the last 18 months. Chances are you didn't get much of a chance to take your Porsche out for a good long trip in 2020, and as Coronavirus restrictions begin to ease around the country, it's time to fire it up and take it for a rip to some distant locale, preferably a tropical one by the ocean, or a secluded …

On a recent road trip (before covid-19 lockdown) my 912E was having some major trouble. It was missing and bucking in the midrange.

My 1976 Porsche 912E is a few years older than I am, and as such it deserves a little rest and relaxation lately. It's lived a long hard life with a lot of abuse.

For those of us who drive on the street, tire pressure probably doesn't get a lot of consideration. Porsche includes recommendations in the manual, and frankly, why not use them? Of course, when driving deviates from the daily grind, tire pressures become a lot more important. Whether using your Porsche for a track day, autocross, or road rally, …

Have you ever wondered about the difference between Horsepower and Torque? These two numbers are probably the most well known specifications in the automotive industry.
