I also have a 3.2 Carrera like Jon above (must be a thing as there are a few on IB.com with CRs now!) Purchased through 911Virgin. Maybe the car is known around these parts? Welcome to the club, great looking car. Would be interesting to know how it compares to your 3.2 Carrera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Wingnonut, Congratulations , that's a beautiful car, guards red works so well on the R. My Carrera 3.2 is guards red. You have excellent taste in cars! I hope you enjoy it as much as I am enjoying mine. Hopefully I will get to meet up with some of you in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we could organise a meet for CR owners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have open topped motoring covered already. A pic of both together would be great... mine is F plate too, with 8" rears and 7" fronts. I am out near Bath, I seem to be miles from anyone else!

Popular Post Wingnonut Posted October 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2019 Well Rubytoo is home and been introduced to Ruby! What a car! Love it to bits already. Not sure how the 981 Boxster and this can feel so different when they are fundamentally the same car. This is raw and exciting every second, regardless of if you are pootling around or ragging it. It is about as fast as you could ever need and whilst the handling and traction is amazing you still see the TC light flashing when I don’t think I once saw that in the Boxster. Another 65bhp and 80kg less really make the difference. The ride is firm but makes it feel special because of it. The LSD can really be noticed and I am gonna have to relearn my driving approach to counter the understeer it creates (defo a trip to Chris Franklin is on the cards!). The brakes are immense with a great feel and firm pedal. Flicking through the history and it appears a 997GT3 master cylinder was fitted a few years back. Maybe that has something to do with it. The noise is lovely but without the PSE I think it could be a bit more from outside so may take a road trip to Carnewal in Belgium for one of their modded standard CR exhausts. The carbon seats are things of beauty and again sitting in them makes it feel special. It deffo feels and drives like a baby GT3! Feeling guilty after getting the 3.2 out of the garage for some photos I took her for a spin. Never fear. My love for that car is still well and truly intact. Just feels so right. A perfect complement to the CR in my book. Which one to the Alps next June? Not sure at the moment. Let’s see 😊 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

911jon Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I'm so looking forward to getting my 3.2 back from Riviera so that I can take a side-by-side picture (or two!) of my own. Like Wingnonut, I am still very much in love with it; the driving experience is just as rewarding as the R. Wingnonut; I am indeed on IB, but haven't posted (or looked in much) in years. I'll look for you there on the '3.2 Carrera and Cayman R' register! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y3owa Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I bought my first cayman r from them in 2015, they were great as I was actually in the states at the time so very good service. they then invited to me to a customer only private track day! Great fun! since then I tend to use them for repair work etc as I don’t trust the garages in London. if you get a chance speak with Steve that’s who I dealt with. all the best Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prestonese Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Hello all. I've returned to the forum as I am looking for a Cayman R as after missing out on a couple of nice ones in the classifieds earlier this year. Anyone looking to sell one with manual and buckets?

That seems like a very reasonable price for your old one Nick if it’s still got the Ohlins suspension and Carnewal exhaust fitted 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prestonese Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) Thanks all. Yes. Keep them coming! I will follow up where appropriate. The JZM looks nice but I prefer one in non white! Hence the 9E one is not a consideration either - am surprised that is still on the market actually. Edited November 29, 2019 by Prestonese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
