Hi

 

I've been a member over on boxa.Net for a few years but sadly, thanks to a run in with a foreign tourist driving on the wrong side of the road, my boxster has been written off and I'm back in the market for a Porsche. 

 

I do quite a few track days and so a Cayman is currently top of my list (prior to the accident I was looking at Caterham style kit cars, needless to say, the idea of a small, lightweight car made of fibreglass and box section, now holds much less appeal). 

 

Prepare yourself for a barrage of questions and if anybody knows of a reasonable 2.7 (reading pistonheads has scared me off a gen 1 3.4) going for around the 10-11k mark feel free to send them my way!

Welcome Lenny, I have had my gen 1 2.7 for over a year now and would thoroughly recommend it.  If you have any questions happy to help if I can.

Welcome aboard Lenny.

 

I've only had my 2.7 for 6 weeks or so. Love it as a car ! (Road only)

 

The only thing i can add - is that Gen 1's appear to definitely need some sump work / a baffled sump etc if tracking [At the very least ?] to avoid oil starvation on track. Due to the location of the pick-up point; and the risk of oil not being picked up and circulated on a long sweeping corner i believe i read.....

 

Worth investigating / factoring in at the very least.

 

Good luck.

I think this issue affects Boxsters as well although I personally never experienced it. I believe it is magnified when running track tyres (r888s etc)
