- Less than 6 months into Porsche Cayman 981 GT4 ownership and I have the 6 year service, being undertaken at Porsche Brooklands as per usual.
In this video we get exclusive access to Mike the Porsche mechanic at Porsche Brooklands. You will learn about all the suspension components which sets the 981 GT4 Cayman apart from the rest of the 981 range.

Well, I have owned my 2015 GT4 for 6 years and have never been underneath it like this so I appreciate the tour. Agree that the fabulous Pilot Cup Sports can be slippery, but I now have Pirelli' which seem a great tyre also. Like you I get a smile on my face each time I drive it.
Great insight, thanks Max 👍
A very informative video Max. Nice job Mike and nice job Max! Keep up the good work Max. Your passion shows and is appreciated.
Interesting and well done.
Great video with solid information
Excellent video.
Max.....if you run over a mouse, you will give it a hair cut! Love, love that color.
Congrats Max on a very nice car. I'm still learning how to drive on a track, someday I hope to get the Boxster Spyder...
This is the type of Porsche content I’ve been looking for, great vid!
You’re welcome
Great video with excellent content. I learned a lot!
I learnt lots too!
What a wonderful video.
I would def def def encourage an oil change a year. It will def prolongue the life of the engine.
The 'vent' to cool the brakes is just magical. I didn't know it was unique to the gt4.
Very rarely can u see the underside of a car. Thanks
Very interesting PCA also did a walk around - there’s some good engineering behind the GT4
Excellent video, lots of information in here I hadn’t heard yet.
Glad you liked it. The more thumbs up this gets the more people will be informed.
Sounds just incredible, I had to go to the start at 0:18 to hear the growl of the exhaust a few times. Love the bits additional inside info which I've not heard anywhere on the 'Net. Thank you as usual Max
You’re welcome and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. It turned out to be a good thing that it was made several days apart. When I saw the underbody sill damage (minor) on the first day, I was gutted and upset. After sleeping on it for several days, I just came to accept this is to be expected on a low car without axle lift. Since then, I’ve put my head under one more low Porsche (Spyder) and can confirm that scraping various bits under the car is bound to happen if you drive in the UK. I didn’t appreciate this prior to purchasing the GT4, but I do now! It’s not all benefits in a GT4 ;-)
Beautiful looking GT4, great information regarding the differences.
You’re welcome!
Very interested thanks
Thanks! More of this please

I’m currently considering purchasing my first Porsche (981 cayman or boxster) and find your enthusiasm infectious. Thanks for your content, I’m learning a lot and it’s helpful in my research
You’re welcome. This is a small niche channel focused around the Porsche Cayman, and I always try and keep things real.
smashed it you did with this whippy rude boiiii
Great vid. Missed a point on the adjustability of the front aero from removing the front panels in front of the front wheels when adjusting the rake of the rear spoiler.
Are you still art the stage Max where Mike brought the car out and you tho ‘bloomin heck I own that!’ Enjoyed the vlog and getting under the skin of a GT car. Cheers, Kevin.
Oh for sure. Around 3 years ago while I was getting my 987 serviced at Porsche Brooklands a 981 GT4 turned-up, and Mike said to me “one day you’ll own one of them Max”. I laughed and replied “No chance mate!”
Amazing video great insights. I damaged under the sill slightly and I brushed some clear coat on the damaged spot before it started to rust and that worked.
Hi Antony, thought you’d like this video, though suspect you knew most of the track oriented information already. Thanks for the under sill advice, me being me… 6 years after the car was made, you can actually pull away at the seam in various places (yes I know you shouldn’t really do this, but just shows that the bond has aged). I’m taking it to a bodyshop as recommended by Porsche, for next steps. Do I remove the whole seam on both sides and make good with new? Or just patch up in places? I need to get estimates for both approaches… this wasn’t on the list of things to watch for when having a low car. Explains why front axle lift features on many high end supercars.
@@MAXREVS Hi Max I really liked seeing how the different suspension components are used to adjust and most interesting around the shock absorbers orientation and engine set up. This engine I think is most reliable even for race teams. I hope you can resolve the coating problem soon and enjoy the magic of the GT4!
Thanks Antony. I still can’t believe I own a GT4… I wonder if all preceding events in my life subliminally conditioned me to buying one?! That would include the livestream we did and hearing about how much fun you get on track with your Cayman.
Where you win hands down is with the weather. I see it’s around 26 degrees C this time where you are, it’s a peak of 8 degrees C in the UK today! Itching to put more miles on, but cold and damp doesn’t suit the Cup 2’s, plus there is no fun in doing the usual outdoor meetings at a coffee stop when it’s raining.
Still swallowing the costs of this purchase, but I know once everything is sorted it will be good for a lifetime. I know I said my 987.2 was for keeps, however this time I *REALLY* mean it with the 981 GT4 ;-)
Take care my friend, Max
I’m booked in for something similar to this, exact details TBD - th-cam.com/video/6RxEqMgfLF8/w-d-xo.html
@@MAXREVS looks nice
Good info enjoyed that, mines off to Centre Gravity in a week for suspension geo check.
Awesome, say hello to Chris for me when you get there. I’m due a visit in the 981 GT4 some point this year.
@@MAXREVS will do, is that voodoo blue on yours? Mines sapphire.
That’s right, Voodoo Blue
Nice one, very interesting information. That Voodoo blue is looking mighty good.
I was a bit surprised to see all that corrosion and kind of oily looking bits on the back end. How many miles are on this GT4?
20k miles and 6 years old. All perfectly normal, just look under any Porsche in the UK after a couple of years. It’s not a garage queen for sure. Saying that though, the car is booked in for an underbody clean and protection next month. This car has to last me my lifetime and I like to look after my stuff.
Yes the dreaded rust appears on all cars from a Nissan micra to a Porsche cayman.
Yes underneath the dreaded rust effects a Porsche just like all other cars.
👍
the tech looks like jude law
I have a 981 spider if you would like to do a video
Always up for videos especially as Spring is here😎. Can you please buzz me at maxrevscars@gmail.com to discuss further?
Did he say pacific instead of specific
