Post in The Piston Works Auto Collective
Beanoir posted a post in a topic,
I thought I would bring this to life for my fellow OC members, as an early 'heads up' if you will.
As many of you know I started the Cayman OC back in November 2015 after realising that being a Cayman owner in a Boxster club just wasn't cricket (as much as the Boxster guys were a great bunch). Its been a labour of love and i've really enjoyed creating a community and making many friends, although at times keeping on top of organising events and the like is tricky. More so lately as i've moved on from full-time employment to start a new venture, one that will hopefully be rewarding in other ways than just a pay check.

718 Cayman now available on your games console!
Beanoir posted a record in Records,
Well finally it’s arrived, you can now drive your favourite car whilst your P&J is tucked up in the garage. Yes that’s right folks, on your games console (probably Xbox only).
Forza Horizon 4 has released screen shots of the latest edition to the game in the shape of a 718 GTS, looking pretty true to real life.
We look forward to hearing how it compares to the real thing and whether it’s been a faithful reproduction of the real thing.
Let us know if you’re lucky enough to be the owner of the real car and the game version!!-

Nice video from Carfection on the 718 GT4 on the track, worth a watch over your afternoon coffee (or whatever your poison).

The Slow Decay of Porsche Prices
The Doc posted a record in Records,
I suppose it's no surprise that like many a petrolhead, spending time cruising the classifieds is not a strange habit. It could be likened in fact to a lady window shopping in her local designer outlet village and coming home with nothing but a receipt from Pret a Manger. When you spend that much time hang out in the classifieds and coupled with a bit of talk among those in the trade you start to gauge a picture. So understanding the dynamics of used Porsche prices at the current time is not hard, but it does require some clear thinking and a bit of honesty if you are to judge the right price for a potential purchase.
Just like me you will probably also see a variety of posts on social media from folk wondering why their pride and joy hasn't sold even when advertised at 'below market price' and acting quite bewildered by this situation. Often this belief is supported and upheld by their fraternity, reaction is often a cocktail of denial and head scratching. But were somebody to suggest that said advertised car might be keenly priced, you will literally be marched to Tyburn for suggesting such an outrageous idea.
There is truth though, and it's cold and it's hard.

Bedford Festival of Motoring - 1st/2nd June
Beanoir posted a topic in CaymanOC Meets & Other Events ,
This year Bedford is hosting its inaugural Festival of Motoring event on the weekend of the 1st & 2nd of June. Steve (Bushman) has been doing a grand job of representing the OC in discussions with the organisers to secure a club dedicated area for up to 15 cars, on both days of the festival. It would be great if we could get a good turnout for this.
The plan will be a proper club stand with a gazebo, club banners up etc.
The event promises to be fairly impressive and would be great for the OC to be part of the event's premier. More info is below and on the official event website here: https://www.bedfordfestivalofmotoring.com
Bedford Festival of Motoring
Located on the beautiful Embankment in the heart of Bedford, this festival to be held on 1st and 2nd of June this year embraces all things motoring.
Staged in partnership with Bedford Borough Council, this exciting new Festival will sit alongside the ever-popular Bedford International Kite Festival taking place on Russell Park.
Offering something for everyone, whether you're a motoring enthusiast or simply looking for a fun-filled family day out, this site will keep you up to date with all the attractions that will be on offer and details of how you can get involved.
If you are interested in attending with the club and would like to secure a space on the stand, then please register your interest below stating which days (Sat, Sun or Both). First come first served given the limited spaces for this guys!
Any questions on the event, then feel free to contact Steve( @Bushman) or me directly or post below.

Thanks. I don't doubt your experiences for one second. However - there's so much difference in opinion of volume needed on the internet though; it's quite frankly frightening ! This is from a moderator of another Porsche forum in reference to changing the oil on a 2007 Cayman 2.7: "The amount of oil you can fill til the display shows 4 segments - depends on the time that you have to let the engine dripping out. The work-shops have no much time; and they fill approx. 8.00 L - 8.25 L ( they have also the PIWIS tester to check the level ). If you do the job by your self and you let the engine dripping, let's say overnight, you can fill approx. 8.75L. starting witch 8.50 L." ****And believe it or not - that's not the highest volume i've seen quoted either ! **Back to mine......after draining overnight i had just over 7 litres go in; to still read 1 bar low from the correct fill level on the gauge. Bearing in mind its supposedly around 400ml needed to top up between lines on the gauge - I don't think i can possibly be more than 400-500ml over absolutely worst case. But again........my gauge now reads that the level is 'perfect' with right around the 8 litres it has in it 😏 ?? The only way i'm going to clear my head is to dump some oil / remove the filter housing as suggested; and to top-up small amounts at a time (giving time to drain down between checks). Which i'm going to do this weekend hopefully...... Cheers again. -
Needless to say be careful with this. Over filling can be harmful. When I did an oil and filter change earlier this year it took just under 7 litres, and this filled it to the top little line and not the top of the window, this is correct in my opinion, that top little line is there for a reason. When my oil is hot, (due to expansion) the gauge shows to the top of the window. Your concern should be that when your oil is hot the gauge will not show any more than the window, If you think there is about 8 litres in there then you need to drain about 1-1.5 litres approximately. Good luck... -
Get the socket that fits the filter cap and it's much easier to remove with an extension or two to give your ratchet room. -
Have you checked after the engine is up to temperature what the reading is? These dials are a nightmare mine is super sensitive I was convinced my garage was completely flat until I got my Cayman!! -

As for "heel n toeing"....yes! Plenty of that going on now. I'm able to do it pretty much without thinking now, the only time I really struggle is if the pedal goes long on the brakes and therefore I can't get over to blip the throttle. There's still plenty of room for improvement, but it's very satisfying when you nail it! -

Thanks! I was very happy with how the video came out, however I did need to work on it in post production. I've been researching how to improve the quality of video coming out of my GoPro for a while and this was the first attempt, and it's actually a pretty easy process. The camera is a GoPro 6 black, set to 1080p and 30fps. EV is dialled to -1.5 due to the bright sunshine. Then I used a programme called Davinchi resolve and followed this Youtube video (below) to produce the results you see. It's super quick to do once you get the hang of it. -

Agreed, I'd be interested to know what equipment was used, its really good quality! -
That's the best in car video track day I've seen....clear view of the track, the cabin, instruments, your hairy arms and gauntlets etc....great work. And that track looks epic! Nicely driven of course. Was there any "heel n toeing" going on?
