Popular Post Cayman R Paul Posted November 29, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2017 Thought I'd say hi having just signed up. Have a 2011 Cayman R (pictured) which I've had for 3 years and love. All standard as it's under Porsche extended warranty but I am looking at getting a cheap set of gen 2 Cayman wheels with N rated tyres on so I can put some Michelin PS4S tyres on the Spyder wheels instead of the rather dated PS2s. Car spec - Spyder wheels, CF bucket seats, cornering bi-xenons, short shift kit, sports exhaust, silver seatbelts. cup holders, sound system plus and most importantly, it's a manual! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk1 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hi Paul, welcome. I believe that we have met, at our local OPC about a year ago. I used to have a white CR. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cayman R Paul Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Cheers guys. The pic was taken by a pro. He took a few, Another attached. I'm pretty sure I remember that Andrew. How are you finding the replacement for your R? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk1 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Hi Paul, The 981 CS PDK is for me a much better car, I have put a few thoughts in http://www.caymanoc.com/forums/topic/993-cr-to-cs-pdk/ Happy to meet up and have a run out ... I was over in Oban this time last month, took a run around Loch Leven ... a superb experience ! I too am considering the PS4S, I have 20" rims for which they have just become available in N0. OPC fitted prices are some £250 per set above others ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cayman R Paul Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 I haven't read your thread in detail but had a quick skim. Some interesting observations. I'd be up for a run out sometime.... possibly when there is less ice about! My street is lethal today. Glad of my Mondeo daily and its winter tyres! I see from the other thread you had Cup 2s on your R. Did you ever use these on the road in the wet? I am curious how they'd be. I don't drive it much in bad weather so they might be an option if I don't want a 2nd set of wheels for N rated ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk1 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 OK Paul, drop me a line when you`re ready to run out. Several of us local PCGB members are pretty active throughout the Winter, we have run out in all conditions. The CR on PS2`s coped extremely well on ice and snow, so did a GT3RS on Cup 2`s !!! I still have the Cup 2`s, on a spare set of original CR wheels. I used them on the PCGB Anglesey track day last May and for the few months on the road until I changed to the 981 CS last July. They are OK in the wet, being mindful to warm them up first, I would have no issues running them as daily`s ... I must get a GT car then Cup 2 N rating is only available for the front 235/35 x 19`s though. You are welcome to borrow the set of Cup 2`s to try out if you wish, can fit them here.

Khalid used to attend the local PH meet just up the road to me, he took a couple of mine when I first got it too. I’ve gotten to know a couple of well known automotive snappers recently, I particulalry admire George’s work (GFWillams). Nice photos! And welcome!!!

Cheers Andrew, I will definitely let you know. Had the car out yesterday. Roads seemed an interesting mix of surprisingly grippy in places and surprisingly slippery in others! Might have some time this weekend if that worked. If not probably into the new year by the time the Christmas season has died down. I suspect I know the GT3RS you're talking about. The one that's becoming a 2RS per chance? Ah OK, so Cup 2s aren't the answer. Two sets of wheels it is. I may well take you up on that kind offer. Thanks. I also am wondering if that's a set of wheels you may be interested in selling at some point? (Hope that's not breaching any forum rules asking!)

Roads ... oh, yes, have had a few challenging / surprising moments. Not sure if I am missing the CR`s LSD ? GT3RS ... c/w Sharkwerks exhaust ; had heard that it was `moving on`. Wheels ... yes, I would consider an offer. As they stand ... Silver c/w 5mm tread all round, non N rated, I do have another front pair with 5mm that are N rated (one has puncture repair).
