@chiefslief1886 thanks for your comment mate - I feel the exact same way, the Integra is slower but is remains my favorite car of all times. That's why I have it glued to the cayman's dashboard :)

Hey- no middle Radiator installed

@@tobitetdebit2330 did the water temp arrow stay exactly in the middle during the whole run?

Hey - yes the gearing can seem a bit long. But it does fit the car well and allows a very high top speed so I think it works pretty good. Engine mods are not that simple when you do track driving => most of the time it will cost you reliability and can take away the confidence you have in your car IMO. Investing in weight, suspension and driving skills is the way to go :)

Fun fact: the car on the dash is my old Honda Integra type R :) because I still think the Integra is the best car I've ever owned :)

Hey - no central Radiator - never really needed it so far because I usually don't drive very long sessions

Well thanks a lot man :)))

Hey man - the facelift engine does not suffer from oil starvation so no need for an aftermarket oil pan as far as I know. I don't have further engine cooling mods. Some people install a 3rd radiator. I would consider it if I lived in a very warm region. Tire size is 235 19 front and 265 19 rear (same as stock when you have the 19inches optional wheels) Cheers :) don't hesitate if you have more questions

@@tobitetdebit2330 Thanks your reply! Yes that is right, I just try to figure it out, weather the MA1 engine also needs some mods or not regarding the oil supply. I've read that it doesn't hurt to install a deep sump here either. (But can be that the companies just want to sell their products) You know, I am looking for also a cayman and mainly because I want to visit HHR 5-6 times a year and the mx5 became already inconvinient to get to the track.. So because there are not a great reasult for the FL modells, I tried to find a good and promising solution again oil starvation on the M96 M97 engines. Then I realized, I won't sleep very well if I have one these engines.. So it seems I have to wait until somebody sells his car... Do you monitor somehow the oil or (accurate) water temperature? Cheers (from Rosenfeld)

@@matyasfarkas1080 ich habe nichts gemacht um wasser und Öl Temperaturen besser zu überwachen, weil bisher alles gut lief und ich tendiere auch das Auto zu schonen und nicht zu lange sessions zu fahren...

​@@matyasfarkas1080 schau mal hier ich verkaufe meinen eben :) www.motorsportmarkt.de/inserat/62518/porsche-cayman-s-987-facelift-tracktool-manthey

ah ça non ^^

Yeah I know it's a shame for the nice interior... But you would be surprised how in the end most people just want a standard black interior ^^

@@tobitetdebit2330 No, I wouldn't be surprised! It's why there are so few now. Nobody ordered Cocoa when the cars were new! And it's why they're all bloody black! It's worse in the UK. In the US and Europe you see a few cars with Cocoa. In the UK, I've only ever seen one gen 2 Cayman with Cocoa. 😭

Hi Rob Check out my Nürburgring 7:58 video all the mods are listed there :)

hey man - I got rid of all the interior plastic pannels, carpets, sound system, radio + roof lining + all the insulation and carpets in the engine bay + lighter battery + replaced the seats with recaro pole position seats (biggest gain). But most of it you have already seen in the Red Bull Ring video. Also possible but expensive to lose more weight: Aluminium doors from Turbo / lighter rims / Exhaust System

very good observation :) it was a driving mistake (like many others) but at the wrong place and wrong time ^^

@@tobitetdebit2330 There’s a group of us in 987’s going in 4 weeks time, All have cars setup slightly different so going to be interesting how we all find it. I’m going from my TDI beetle to the cayman so it should be way better but also have to take it a bit more steady as it’s easier to get into a bad situation! Your laps have been a good watch to see what the caymans like 👌

@Mark_Meisho_Thompson late season nordschleife :) sounds great! For me the driving season is over :) You will have a blast in the cayman. One advice: take it easy in the first few laps. The track feels very different in a >300hp car! I personally needed to adjust my driving and habits quite a bit when I drove the cayman the first time there

@@tobitetdebit2330 This is the final days out for the year tbf, for a spa/ring double header it was March or October, Non of us felt ready in December to go in march, I had a new suspension setup I wanted to try closer to home to see how it handled first. Will definitely take your advice though and start slow and make progress from there!

it's cause all the sound deadening is gone

sounds great! what Cayman did you get? Do you like the car? are you planning a bit of Track action? :)

@tobitetdebit2330 Thanks for the reply. I got 2008 987 in metallic meteor grey. No, I don't plan on racing it, though my grown up sons think I should also.👍

Thanks a lot :) The car is much louder but it's not killing me when I wear earplugs on long drives. The aftermarket exhaust on yours surely makes it way too loud without all the carpets...

Don't suppose you weighed the car before you took everything out? (ie, have an idea what they weigh WITH the standard interior) ?

@@pintsizedpistons I stripped out 85 Kilos from the car (this includes switching to a smaller Battery) and it was then weighted at 1290Kg without Fuel.

No it's OK she's still here 😅

Why sad? :) Corvettes are great, especially this one (I think it was a ZR1 or a tuned Z06). And no worries, there were enough bigger Porsches on track passing that Corvette ;)

I bought the car with a few kilometers already from a "normal" highway driver :) So most of the total mileage was not done on track :) Now I use it almost for track use only - I would say I drove around 20 laps of NS with the cayman so far

Danke dir :) Ist ein riesen Unterschied! Für das was es kostet kann es nur empfehlen. Auch bei Fahren auf der Strasse merkt man wie viel besser das Gefühl auf dem Pedal ist

@@tobitetdebit2330 danke für Antworten 😀

Yes and no :) for sure the GT3 has more power, but i think driving at this pace on the nordschleife does demand an effort in any car. The GT3 driver was definitely not chilling in this video :)

Nada mais do que a obrigação. É até covardia, uma disputa como essa.

Yes :) it is a GT4rs with 500hp and PDK and it seemed to be very well driven. So yes, like kaiser sauze: he's gone 😅

@@tobitetdebit2330 Ah, I couldn't quite see that it was the RS. I guess that makes sense. Nice to see a 987.2 driven well, though. Bit sad about tearing out much of the Cocoa extended leather interior. Can't tell you how rare a 987.2 with Cocoa is here in the UK! 😉

Thanks :) 2011 Cayman 987.2 S Stock engine and exhaust, BMC air filter, KW Clubsport 2Way (Manthey Racing setup), Pagid RSL29 pads, Stock rotors, GT3 Brake Cylinder, Michelin Cup2 Tires. The car is stripped, Recaro seats, Sabelt harnesses, Lightweight Battery. Weighted at 1280 Kg with empty tank and no driver. Reliability so far has been awesome, no issues at all :)

because the mount of the GoPro was wobbling a little bit :( but now it's fixed in the newer videos :)
