Project Boxster Clubsport: Part 24 – The Electric Motor

9/25/201910:41 estFiled to: Do It YourselfBy: Bradley Brownell

We're entering new territory here! Porsche has just introduced the first of likely many electric cars in its Taycan, and it probably won't be long until we have a hybridized 911 in dealer showrooms. It's time we got with the program and see how this electric propulsion stuff works first hand. We've had "Project Boxster Clubsport" for a few years, …

Project Boxster Clubsport: Part 23 – A New Direction

7/22/20191:06 estFiled to: Do It Yourself, Electric PorscheBy: Bradley Brownell

  The best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry. We've had "Project Boxster Clubsport" for a few years, and it's been dormant for the last two trips around the sun. I've done some work on the car, and it's been driven a quick trip here and there, but it has mostly been laying in wait. It looked like I would have the time to give it a …

What It’s Like When A 996 Turbo Goes Under the Knife for New Coolant Pipes

7/11/20196:16 estFiled to: Porsche Maintenance TipsBy: Tommy Parry

The one chink in the Mezger's armor is its flimsy coolant pipes. For such a bulletproof motor, it seems strange that Porsche just glued the coolant pipes on. Though press-fitted, these coolant lines are known to pop off under high RPM load. Hoovie's lousy luck meant his first trip to Heartland Motorsports Park was interrupted by his own lines …

Protecting a 911 Safari with XPEL Film and Ceramic Coatings

4/11/201912:00 estFiled to: Concours & Car Care, VideosBy: Chris Cushing

We love Leh Keen's Safari 911s. In keeping with our belief that the 911 is a perfect all-rounder, lifting one and fitting knobby tires seems to take nothing from the experience. Mr. Keen's cars are brilliant, and Matt Farah's personal car is one of the most interesting of the lot. Farah's Safari is finished in Cassis Red, a rather polarizing and …

Porsche Releases New Updates To The N-Spec Tire Rating System

2/14/20199:48 estFiled to: AdviceBy: Bradley Brownell

With every new generation of Porsche, the outer limit of grip are tested with heavier cars, larger contact patches, and way more power than ever before. In order for your new Porsche to continually improve, tire technology has to continue evolving to cope with the demands of the modern and more advanced Porsche. The company has been working …

Porsche’s Ten Best Colors Of All Time

11/15/20188:00 estFiled to: AdviceBy: Bradley Brownell

Porsche has a habit of selling cars in incredibly interesting colors. From the very beginning they've had many interesting shades painted on the shapely fenders of their sports cars. They take risks on colors, risks that other companies are known to shy away from. There are dozens of bright and bold colors that make a Porsche stand out. For some …

Project Boxster Clubsport: Part 22 – Begin The Revival

9/27/20181:00 estFiled to: Do It YourselfBy: Bradley Brownell

We've had "Project Boxster Clubsport" for quite a while now, but it's been dormant for over a year and it's time to rectify that. We purchased the Porsche for a song, and have been slowly making some moves to drop the car's weight and add a little more fun. It's an excellent Porsche to drive, but it's in a pretty sorry state right now, and we want …

3 Lighting Mods to Clean Up Your Porsche’s Exterior

8/18/201811:24 estFiled to: Porsche Maintenance TipsBy: Chris Cushing

While a strong enough will and disregard for appearances can stick LED strips to anything, it is not the way to aesthetic harmony for your Porsche. From the factory Porsche's aesthetics tend toward distinctive, yet understated. While the brand is not immune to following the trends of the moment (I'm looking at you, side strakes on slantnose 911s), …

How Tire Pressure and Inflation Affect Your Porsche’s Performance

8/13/201812:10 estFiled to: Porsche Maintenance TipsBy: Chris Cushing

Proper tire pressure porsche

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, …

Is A Mid-Engine Corvette Enough To Tempt You Away From Porsche?

5/20/20182:53 estFiled to: AdviceBy: Bradley Brownell

The above image is a Corvette Forum rendering of the mid-engine 8th generation Corvette alleged to be launching at the 2019 Detroit show in January. The front-engine Corvette has been a mainstay of the American performance market since the 1950s, and some models have been compared favorably to contemporary 911s throughout the years. Built in …
