Yes I'm not a fan of sitting on leather for extended periods so went with some Harris tweed. It's a bit different but I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dougle_turbo Posted June 7, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2020 Brown Trouser moment at Brands Hatch! Close call at Brands Hatch on Tuesday - I was hounding this Caterham and I think he pushed a little to hard trying to escape. 🤣 The eagle eyed amongst you might spot the now fully operational oil temp + pressure gauge from Stack. Very happy with the results. I'll post up some more details when I get a chance. Catherham spin.mp4 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenfourate Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Looked like you were going to have a Caterham bonnet badge for a moment. The purists would have slated you........😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcm987 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Nicely dodged. I was behind an M4 going rally crossing at Paddock hill last week. What were your oil temps and pressures during the day? It would be good to know what temps to expect to see on a rack day. Eventually I aim to install a similar setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__djk Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Sounds like you have really spent a lot of time and money sorting this car. Looks really good! I'd imagine it drives just as well too! Out of curiosity what performance modifications have you installed? Do you know the current figures? I am entertaining the whole plenum, throttle body, intake air filter, desnorkelling and exhaust route - but unsure of what to go for. Apologies if this is already stipulated in the thread, I did read through fairly thoroughly, but could well have missed it. Thanks, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to go back throught he videos to see peak pressure, but from what I observed it stayed consistent in the fast corners, which I what I was hoping for. Temp wise the gauge didn't get up to the 110 mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Dan Hi Dan, Performance wise (I'm assuming you engine mods) De snork IPD Comp plenum GT3 Throttle body BMC filter Carnewal GT Exhaust (back box only) R/R remap @ DMS According to the DMS Dyno it develops 372 BHP (the print out is somewhere in the thread) It's now pretty quick in a straight line and will outdrag a PDK equipped 981 S in sports mode. I would love to put a sports cat in but I'll blow the sound limits - very close already! My two pence is that the Plenum, throttle body, and R/R remap should be done at the same time. Before those are done the car should be de snorked (easy), perfomance filter (easy) and some sort of free flowing exhaust (highly recommend Carewal especially if you drive over there). Hope this helps, any other q's ask away! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__djk Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I’m pleasantly surprised with those BHP gains.. Any idea on what the 0-60 is now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dougle_turbo Posted June 12, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2020 Not sure on the 0-60 times, but at the Javelin Sprint series event I attended last year the car was performing pretty well on the 0-64ft times. This is interesting because there were all sorts of machinery attending the event. The video I did about the event is linked below: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarlechS Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 how do you ensure no water is sucked in to the engine if you de snorkle? i always thought this was more preferred in hotter climates where it doesn't rain as much? good thread - thoroughly enjoyed reading it!

Popular Post Dougle_turbo Posted September 13, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) Nurburgring - 8:11 in a 987 S. Hi guys! I know it’s been a while, but I’m still alive. Just been mad busy with work etc. I hope everyone is well and there are plenty of new Caymanites! I managed to get over to the Nurburgring for Touristenfahrten recently and thought I’d share the best lap of the day with you. It really shows what these cars are capable of, even at 11 years old. Plenty of time left on the table and hopefully a sub 7 will come next year. Anyway, enjoy! Edited September 13, 2021 by Dougle_turbo 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougle_turbo Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 Yes, many bugs died that day! It was a crazy 30hr (home - home) trip. Managed 14 laps 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the ‘spooned’ downshift to 3rd at minute 2:47…. 🤪 But seriously that looked a stonkingly quick lap - I wouldn’t have the kahoonas to drive that quick there. You certainly demonstrated the caymans (and your own) capabilities very well Doug 👍🏻 what the hell was that black be-winged thing that flew past you? 😮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes that wasn't my finest down shift! I think it was a BMW that came past - he was flying. Not often you get overtaken at that speed, I was doing about 140!

GroupJ Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Nice Video - 14 laps!! at what, 60 euro a lap now, that quite an investment. Or did you get a club discount? Car looks to be handling great and nice smooth driving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did you get a club discount? Car looks to be handling great and nice smooth driving! It's 30 euros a lap, so I spent the same as I would on a normal track day there. There was a guy there the same day driving a 3RS who did 44 laps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroupJ Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 30 Euro/lap - Then the price has been steady for many years. Laps around the Green Hell is one of my best investments in self, even if it was in a rental car. I am going back now to see what mods you did to your car. Very impressive lap time.

I am looking at Sebro discs too (and Ferodo DS2500 pads) -- so far I have installed the GT3 ducts and braided cables alogn with new fluid Aren't OEM brake line steel braided? I thought they were - they just have a rubber coating and you can't see the braids?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
