I bought myself a cayman S a week ago. Your videos helped me to push myself into buying one. Ps don't change your car to something more expensive, lol. Only kidding. Love the car.
@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.👍
Nice driving as always Tobi - quite nice to get a look at the inside of your car to see just how much you've stripped it out! Do you find it much louder with the insulation in the back missing? Mine is deafening without the carpets back there (drove it whilst they were out for some work to be done)... Mine is not standard however... Love the interior leather colour too, almost a shame it's stripped lol
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...
@@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.
@@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 Tobi! Have you installed a FVD-Oil Pan kit? Or have you done anything regareding the Oil supply system? What is you tire sizes? What else have improved in the theme cooling? An other waterpump? Thank you very much! Regards Matthias
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)

Cool!
I like your style with the interior. Leather dash, no carpets, no headliner, sun visors.

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

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

Still slightly upset you stripped out a car with the uber rare Cocoa extended leather interior, but nice to see a 987.2 being driven properly.
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 ^^
