Cayman R Chat


Recommended Posts

Many thanks for the replies  and will take a look at the others mentioned - thing is the black one is my  least favourite colour plus had a few marks where bumper meets bonnet - also I need to drive a manual - my 987S is a manual just fancied a change plus its going to be my only car - buckets though are a must along with Spyder wheels - I will keep searching on

Oh is that of the OPD black one. The AutoStore Black one looks in great condition. I bought a black one a few weeks ago and they look stunning in black. But I can appreciate that its not a fave colour for some. Oh but you want a manual - I'll post this anyway for reference.

hi Julian987 and thanks for this - its a good video better than the normal 360 degree ones you see - how are you finding your R and I noted that this one doesn't have a PSE - is this a "must have " or "nice to have" on the R?

As many wear by PSE, yet as many seem to fit an aftermarket one. Guess it hinges on how original one wants it and the tone/control of PSE. Mine has a Milltek exhaust and is probably as good as PSE. That the exhaust can be modded, then PSE was last on my list of 'must haves'. 

Unsure if you follow MaxRevs channel on YouTube. He has just fitted a Soul Performance and it sounds sublime and ferocious (when he wants to dial it up). 

Unlike non R's where one can have Porsche retrofit their official PSE, on the R it is not possible. Depends on your circumstances but my neighbours would not be assumed with my car having PSE - it sounds perfect for me. Fine line between fine exhaust and chav exhaust.

Hi Glyn, 

 

It's much nicer in here anyway, like a nice country pub with a log fire, a nice dog walking around and a busty barmaid, whereby PH is just a Weatherspoons....

 Good riddance to them, though a life ban for calling Moose a fu#kwit seems harsh when it's factually accurate.

 

Get some more pics of the R up in here, the more the merrier, and the more interesting we all make it, the better it will be for all.

 

Now go and get a round in you tight bugger 😄😃

Julian, don't feed the troll mate.....

I should have thought of that earlier. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Very wise words. You know you could as easily though signup again on PH under a new gmail/email account and new username...just in case you wanted to that is.

Yes I know but never being able to post about the car or post a photo of a trip will be a chore, unless I change car I'm a bit stuffed.

:) I had my eye on their wooden gear knob shifter kit but now having seen it on a few cars I am not so sure. The shaft is a bit too chunky. I prefer the more slender version that Stuggart Classica do.....Photo+24-02-2018,+10+52+22+am+(1).jpg?fo

 

 

I can imagine you owners that track your R's will probably know of their Cayman CS package?

What CarBone products are you thinking of?

cheers, I've got a serious decal fetish and these and the martini decal on the tailgate give a nice understated nod to History I think 

 

I leave the ring decals to the young ruffians ;)
