I couldn't get on the GT4RS list ... but I do have a GT4 on the way, so I'm really pumped to follow this series.
The GT4 is one of the most well rounded street and track cars ever made, I think you’ll be really happy with it. And it’s essentially 1/2 the price of an RS in the real world so the value for money is probably higher. Picking up the RS soon though to find out for sure!
Just found your channel and I have the same color GT4 as you have in this video. I love the car and feel like it is a lot more nimble out of the box than a 992 S. It is super fun with the 6MT which is the best MT in the business. I’m not a huge track guy so I’ve left it stock but I enjoyed learning about what you did to get yours more track focused. Thanks for the content!
Nice! Short gearing is the single most important mod. I recommend the Ninemeister lightweight flywheel, it's 45% lighter with incredibly low inertia without downsides
Thanks for the Tip!
I'm glad i found this video! I am actually in the market for a GT4 but I'm going to go with the PDK version! Subscribed
Thanks for the Sub! You will love the GT4 so much, I can’t recommend it enough. As a street car and even in PDK it’s near perfect. One of the best dual clutch transmissions ever. I hope you get one and please share if you do! Do you think you’ll ever track it?
Great video 👏👏💪
Thanks!
Nice build and vids. I have a 2020 718 GT4 w/ Soul Race Exhaust (i.e., OAPs and back box; didn't change yet to Comp headers). What a massive difference in sound and a little more power. Next up though is BBi's StreetCup Harness Bar, which I believe is what you have right? Basically, BBI's GT4 RS StreetCup Harness Bar I'm guessing that also fits the 982 (or 718). How was the install? And what did you end up using to trim the holes for the bar mounts. Feel free to private DM me if that works best to discuss as I'd like your feedback.
Just got a gt4 this summer. Came with a similar Soul exhaust over axle which sounds AMAZING. I really do feel like I need to make some alignment changes after doing my first autocross with it though. The goal is to do as much track and autocross as I can. What alignment did you go with with camber etc?
Been ripping in the GT4 since we met at Porsche Redwood City! Absolute dream. Better than I could have dreamt. I’d love to try the shorter gears, next time I’m in town it would be awesome to link for a drive 👍🏻. Congrats on your channel growth
Thanks Nic! Yeah man let’s definitely go for a drive. I’d actually like to drive the stock setup again too because I forgot what it feels like. Hit me up
@@carhoney sick! What’s the best way to contact you?
@@nicbean. shoot us an email with your phone number and I’ll text you or you can get my cell from Tony A. Carhoneymedia@gmail.com
I've never really been a Porsche fan, you're starting to win me over to give one a try.
That’s awesome, you should definitely give a couple a try! If you need some recommendations based on what you’re wanting to do with it let me know!
I made that “give them a try” mistake a couple years ago when I wasn’t a fan. I now have have two sitting in my two stall garage.
@Car Honey I was given the opportunity to drive a full bolt on modded 911 Turbo last week, and it was fast faster than my Ferrari 458. But I didn't care for the handling when comparing the 2. someone suggested, I try a gt 3 or 4.
I've modded mine too.
MCS 2-way remote dampers w/ Swift springs 80/100
Front thrust arm bushings
Front RSS bump steer kit
Rear Tarret motorsport toe links
Rear adj. end links
Goodyear Supercar 3 tires
Kline Inconel Exhaust
Aggressive street alignment
Nice setup! Anything else you’re planning on adding?
@@carhoney I would like to add the BBS FI-R wheels , but they are hard to get and not sure I wanna spend anymore money on it.
While I work from home , it’s my main car , so it sees all weather and conditions and it’s probably not the smartest financial decision to buy expensive wheels for a daily driver.
Any recent mods to the gt4? Perhaps headers?
How does shove out of (street) corners in 2nd gear (with the regear) compare to the gt4 rs?
That’s my biggest complaint with my gt4 (with stock gearing).
Wondering if the regear helps with that enough or if I should get a different car!
Nice upgrades. Assume the PFC brake kit is available somewhere?
Thanks! There’s a dealer locator on the website here: pfc.parts/pad-disc-search/vehicle-product-search/porsche-cayman-gt4/
really like the mods on this GT4, The exhaust sounds so much better! Can I ask how much the breaks swap cost you, as I am potentially looking at doing something similar with my PCCBs
Also, is the only thing you changed on the exhaust the OAPs? it sounds sooo much better than my UK GT4!
Yeah just the competition OAP’e from Soul! I found a used PFC Clubsport brake kit for $10k however, the only rims that clear the calipers on depth is the Apex EC-7R or the BBS clubsport rims. But the apex rims are discontinued and the BBS are like $3k a rim. I would go AP racing slotted kit and 19x9 rims in front and 19x10.5 in rear. That’ll give you a ton of good tire options and you won’t have to change much in the rear to make the rims fit
@@carhoney Thanks for getting back to me, it’s much appreciated! I’ve got an AP racing set up on my MK7 Golf R track car so know they’re quite good! Just as a side thought, at that price, have you ever thought about swapping the PCCBs with a set of surface transforms carbon ceramics discs? Quite a few people over here do that instead of swapping to steels, as the discs can be refinished a few times before having to be replaced. No experience personally, but people over here swear by them. Don’t know what it’s like over in the states
Nice mods.
Thank you
Are you in the Bay Area? I been wanting to find someone that got the re-gear done to see if I can get a ride. I am seriously thinking about doing it for my 2020 Spyder.
How much did the regear cost?
I see PFC brakes... i hit like.
Haha thanks!
That 4th/5th regearing seems very aggressive to me, but thanks for this. Am in Vegas with a GT4 on order and will be sure to check out Rader--although I'll probably let the warranty run out first.
It is definitely aggressive but really enjoyable, especially with the stock engine power. Are you getting PDK or manual? You probably know this but the PDK gearing is much shorter than manual as stock.
@@carhoney Manual.
Nice - go talk with Bill at BRM - he’s the owner and will take care of you.
Did Alexshop remove the tranny and a Rader so the actual gearing work?
@@yuaus yes, exactly
Honestly I miss my honda fk8 manual, if I could throw that manual into my 718 I'd be happy😅
What is the model of lifter in the garage?

Which LSD did you go with?

How about weight reduction on these beautiful Porsches? It's always about racking up more horsepower, but why not investigate dumping some of those unnecessary items that add weight to a vehicle, but are not pertinent to it's fundamental operation? More performance on all levels all while retaining the original reliability. I am a big fan of Porsche's move to this beautiful mid-engined architecture found in the Caymen. A great car indeed. :)
How much did the regearing cost?
About 10k with labor
@@carhoney surprisingly less then I thought.
GT4 delivery 6/24
Unfortunately I was caught in the carbon bucket order freeze and had to spec 18 ways…. At least the wife will be happy, lol.
Great videos. Subscribed. Liked.
What wheel widths did you go with?
9 and 10.5
@@carhoney tire width size?
@@domonokun 265 front and 295 rear
At 50k would have been better to ask BGB or Deman to make you an engine
