mc5 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 After much dithering looking at gen 1 cayman s but worried about the usual issues I found a lovely gen 2 2.9 from a Craig a member on here. It had been well looked after mainly by autofarm. It feels and is slightly down on torque to the S i drove but more than enough power at the moment for our roads and can sleep easy. Saying that any mods remaps that can be recommended. Craig has added what looks like TPI 7mm & 15mm spacers and although they look great I would prefer to have some locking wheel nuts in the correct size but am struggling to find anything online. Can someone help me. Im guessing thread length would need to be 35mm f and 40 to 45mm rear? The photo is from the sale advert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lennym1984 Posted September 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) I really wouldn't waste your time with locking wheel nuts. They are incredibly easy to remove without the key (I found this out when I broke the key on my old boxster) and any committed criminal will know this.

Mavrik Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 The days of coming out to find your car on bricks has long past imo... Was more of an 80's issue... Removing a locking wheel bolt with a special tool (anybody can buy them) is easy!! These days you'll be more likely to find the whole car gone & in a shipping container (probably stripped & in in its component parts within 4 hrs of being stolen!!) I didn't have lockers on my SLK AMG wheels & don't on my RS 3.6 alloys on my CS 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggy Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I've also removed my locking wheel nuts. If you can't find any for sale and want mine, then make me an offer. Cheers, Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavrik Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 @briggy ... Think he's looking for longer thread locking bolts, not standard ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
