After months of waiting I am happy to report that I have a completely re-re-built 1989 Porsche 964 Carerra 4 engine. I saw it with my own lens. Imagine will be installing the engine next week… which means I get my baby back very very soon. Stay tuned for the first drive, more videos, more photos and the limited ability to drive like a demon due to having to keep the rpms at 3000 or below… that’s going to suck (as it did last time we went around this race track).

We took a bit of a road trip this weekend down to the lake. Yes, it’s freezing and cold, but it was a lot of fun. I really wish I had the 911 for the roads. On the way down I notice an off ramp. I pull the car over, get out, pop a shot and get back in. Wife looks at me:

“Porsche Club of America Road… nice…”

This is a post for me so I don’t forget: Thunder Ranch 550.

I know, this is a 1989 911 C4 website… I know, I’ve been posting NON-911 C4 related Porsche stuff here as of late. Let’s remember; shitty supplier = no Porsche. I’m left to share Porsche related bits that I find funny/cool or just awesome. That being said…

I love Top Gear. I only watch the YouTube videos/clips from the show. My all time favorite is the atom. Well, that was my all time favorite.

Don’t get me wrong, I really dig the R8… but taking a banged up GT3 against it and blowing it’s doors off… thank you very much.

I just caught this. Hadn’t been to The FWA in a while and noticed the January 31st winner was the Porsche microsite for the Porsche Cayenne GTS, Bloodlines. I haven’t seen the commercials yet either. My favorite function is the engine rev’ing app for each of the vehicles.

Fantasy Interactive and Carmichael Lynch won the FWA Award for it.

So the car should be back-in-order in the next couple of weeks. The delay has ben due to a rotten supplier. I will be photographing the re-re-bulid in the following weeks which will be posted here (of course).

So messing around with analytics the other day for another project it occurred to me “I wonder if anyone from Stuttgart ever checks out my site?” So I pulled a report and low and behold in the past 12 months I’ve gotten some activity from across the pond. I always smile when I think of a post from someone on a board from last year who visited my site when I had those videos up “…he should be more worried about Porsche shutting him down as soon as they find his site…they don’t mess around.” Ok buddy. I’m not that important, I’m not bashing Porsche in any manner, and it’s free organic results that are qualified and contextual.

Hope everyone over at the plant enjoys the sites (both 89c4.com and 66912.com have been getting traffic). Thank you for your vehicles.

Got an email from Porsche letting me know they have started a new online newsletter. To be honest, I haven’t gone into what they are trying to tell me, but I am looking forward to checking it out. For those that aren’t on Porsche distro list, here you go: Porsche Newsletter.

So, where’s the C4? Right, still not with me. Over three months in the shop. When will she be back? Your guess is as good as mine.
