Cayman R - owners/buyers/mods

[fridaypassion]

Well you are in a helpful mood this morning Mr Noble

Upgrade options? if I remember this kicked off something earlier in the thread that made my eyes glaze over but what the concencus you can get it done to baffles open levels? I used to always run the S with the baffles open but I wouldnt want it any louder or to ruin the harmonics of the standard note.

Unplugged PSE is wonderful and only a 10 min job.

Going to see the Southern Sky car on 28/9/15.

Why is this car cheaper than most Cayman R's?

Hi, this car was mine, it is a prime example and unique regarding the interior detailing and spec, I would go for it. Lastly, I have now sold my Cayman R, 61 plate with 16000 miles, with all the right extras for £38000.

This time I sold my second Cayman R to a private buyer.

2 down, 1 Cayman R in black left, won't be selling my black one soon as it is just above delivery miles.

I was confused reading this thread - you were connected with the Southern Sky car but then said yours was for sale with 16,000 miles.

Now I understand you had 3 Cayman R's it makes even less sense! Haha.

Anything I should know about the white Cayman at Southern? I understand you sold it to them for £36,000 - is that correct?

[Fizzbomb]

To stop the confusion, I somehow ended up with 3 Cayman Rs.

They are struggling with it because of the mileage. Just a tad high. I suspect if you dont buy it they will be on the phone to me but I dont think its the one for me. Reselling with 35+k on it isnt a heartwarming prospect.

Took my R out yesterday, not used it for a few months.. loved it.

MUST drive it more. Going in next week for a major service (with one of my best mates now service manager, see what loan car I can blag along with my 20% discount)

Still using mine everyday, love it only frustration being our ever-congested roads mean I hardly ever get the chance to stretch its lively legs, grrr.

Anyone in Kent or Surrey with PSE on their R? (or the Carnewal GT exhaust) I would really like to hear it in action from the cabin as I am still very tempted to get it fitted at an OPC but keep reading conflicting accounts about how worth doing it is on an R. Having heard mine from the outside I would say it sounds pretty tasty stock but wouldn't mind a bit more aggressive sounds to match the rpm inside the cockpit, though love the howling intake behind my ears.
There is a good youtube vid where the guy in an R demos the PSE on and off but I get the feeling he has the door open whilst stationary revving so doesn't give a clue to internal 'running' sounds.

Sounds mighty fine externally here too:-

OPC will not fit you a R PSE

Hi
I am near Reigate in Surrey. You are welcome to listen to my PSE in my manual R or I have the spare key to a friends PDK R again with PSE (not sure if yours is Man or PDK).

I'm in Surrey and have a PSE on my R - although we'll have to be careful not to get our cars mixed up if we do get together :-)

Where are you based?

I'll be at Bedford on 14 November if you fancy coming along - then you can hear the PSE at full chat :-)

well you think you will, but PSE on at Bedford trips the meters !

[MJ911]

Thanks for the offers guys. I live near Brands hatch/Wrotham in Kent and work in Sevenoaks so not too far to nip into surrey along the M26/m25.
What do you guys think of PSE from within the car? Got any GoPro or similar footage from inside?

Good choice of colour MDT. Bedford eh, could be tempted along

I turn the PSE off for the static noise test but have it on when lapping at Bedford. Only had a warning once in the Cayman R, the PSE on my old C2S seemed to cause me more noise issues on track. And annoyingly on that one I couldn't have Sport mode without the PSE on, since the Sport button activated it automatically!

It's only £129 for an open pit lane day on the full GT circuit in November - in fact it was only £99 when I booked, which was unbelievable for a Saturday! Fingers crossed for the weather, but I've done a day in November at Bedford for the past few years and it has always been dry and bright - here's hoping.

There are a couple of others from this very thread already signed up, and I'm assuming that cmoose will be attending depending on what he's driving by then :-)

[PorscheGT4]

we should do the how fast day for £75 and then it's timed, far more fun as Bedford is dull imo.

Bedford is dull I was there Monday for the first time and its completely awful. Good for spinning off and not hitting anything but not much else.
