Popular Post Dougle_turbo Posted September 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) Hi guys, I've been lurking for a while whilst looking for a car. Picked her up yesterday, and looking forward to getting to know her better. 2010 White Cayman S, manual, spyder wheels, black optics/pack. First up will be a full paint detail and ceramic coating and Cayman R decals. Then it will be an improved exhaust note while still staying track legal (recommendations welcome). Current thoughts are headers + Cayman R mufflers with the Carnewall mod. Gerts not sure that will be track legal though. I'd also like to upgrade the brakes for something that can handle the odd track day - again recommendations welcome. My thoughts are the Sebro slotted disks and some Ds1.11 pads along with some race fluid. From there probably IPD plenum, and a re-map, but that's further down the line. Would have uploaded some photos, but computer says no! Edited September 29, 2018 by Dougle_turbo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(But I might be slightly biased...?) I’ve not found the standard brakes wanting on track (done 3 + PEC this year), but obviously it depends how hard you drive (I’ve concluded I am captain slow on track, compared to everyone else that seems to pass me ???). Perhaps just start with a fluid change to a Dot 5 RBF and see how that feels? Edited September 30, 2018 by Windymiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run a dedicated track car the moment, so I have a habit of braking rather late! Finally got the photos to work - but it will only let me upload 1?

Windymiller Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Looks lovely and has made me think I really should get my rear vents painted black to break up the slabby white sides. Are they gloss or matte? i would recommend mod #1 is some zunsport grilles for the front to protect your condenser rads. ?? (Easily worth an extra 15bhp too.... ????) have fun at bedford ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the black bits are gloss black, I particularly like the thin black detail around the headlights. The intakes in black really transform the car IMHO.

For exhaust I have a Carnewal GT and Spyder pipes on a 2.9 -- it sounds great Brakes seem dimpled and grooved discs and DS2500 ferodo are what I keep hearing, but havent tried any Also heard brakes are plenty good already but that depends on your usage of course P.S. and congrats seems a very nice speced car!
