Silver. with a few GT3 bits and grills, a splitter and the performance mods also, remus, remap, GT3 throttle body etc

gen 1 mirrors still look better than any other, nice and sleek

Looking at your photo I've just noticed the front part of the Cayman stripe on the front bumper is missing on mine Bet you can't just buy that part on its own either
Also just found this on the Bay which seems reasonable http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=...

Congrats car looks great.

Thanks!

Just purchased the next phase of mods, IPE (Innotech) manifolds with 200 cell cats to complete the full exhaust system, a set of Goodridge braided hoses + Brembo race fluid, and an OEM short shift

Steering wheel looks great and quite fancy upgrading my S that I've just acquired. What company did it for you?
Thanks

The company is called Royal Steering Wheels, they were superb to deal with

Very nice thread. What sort of power hike is expected from the whole exhaust package?

And, I wonder, do switchable PSE's increase power or just the noise?

If I'm honest I am not really sure what the full exhaust will give as my choice was mainly for build quality and sound. If I had to have a guess I would say around 20bhp. I will shortly be having it remapped to make the most of all the mods and plan to use Chipwizards who use a rolling road so should have a better idea of horse power gains.

Booked in to Chipwizards in March for Wayne to work his magic on the mapping

Fitted the H&R springs on Friday, Now sitting about 35mm lower than stock springs

Looking good. Did you paint the side grills yourself, and if so, what were they like to get off?

I have a friend who is a salesman for DuPont who served his time a sprayer (and a very good one) who painted the side vents. They are quite fiddly to get off without breaking the tangs off but there is a great how to clip on utube that shows exactly where the clips are positioned and how to get them off

Looking good! Of course the trick with all the two-tone stuff is knowing when to stop...

Worth sorting out the dodgy 987 handbrake cable whilst fitting the SS kit?

I'm done now with the two-tone stuff, just the GT3 smile grille to fit and that's the aesthetics finished. What is the issue with handbrake cable? Not come across that one yet

Hi, how harsh is the ride now you have dropped the springs by 35mm?

The strange thing is I actually feel the ride is much smoother now, it is hard to explain but the road leaving the workshop is full of potholes and it seemed much more controlled than the stock springs. I have not had the chance to try the PASM sport mode yet, will report back when I do

rObArtes said:

did you ever get the hand brake & gear gator retired lad ?

Lol still on the to do list, will be done once the remap, short shift, GT3 Grill, & tail pipes done

[wulfy66]

rObArtes said:

tail pipes? just booked mine in for a Carnewal GT exhaust. its a 2.9 gen II, so thinking of the changing the tail pipes also

I had an IPE exhaust fitted but I think it would look better with black tailpipes. IPE do make black ones but it is a £300 extra!!!
I have found a company called Camcoat who will ceramic coat them in black gloss for £40 and they are half a mile away from Chipwizards who are doing the remap on Friday so will kill two birds
The Carnewal is a good choice, they sound great & without the drone

I hate to be a pedant but it will be Porsche Green. It is often referred to as Viper, but that is an old 70s colour, which to be fair is very similar.

Even main dealers do it!

Viper does sound better though!

Hate to break it to you old boy but you are incorrect. I have just been to OPC to see about having some stone chips sorted and the official name of the paint code was RS Viper green

mollytherocker said:

Your Cayman might be, but the GT3RS gen 1 is Porsche Green.

Lol, who said anything about a GT3RS gen1? anyway I ordered the paint I don't want the whole door painted for one small chip even tho it is driving me mad looking at it so gonna try a tiny bit of paint on a cocktail stick to see if I can hide it enough to live with

Car was on the rolling road at Chipwizards (based in Ninemeister 9M premises) on Friday, after 3-4 runs it made 320 bhp & 277 ft/lbs torque. (Best was 322 worst 318). Was pretty much what I was expecting

There was no after figure because when he studied all the data he said it was running absolutely perfect and if he played around with for hours he would struggle to make any improvement at all. Great guy, really knows his stuff and very honest not to take my money as many others would have.

[wulfy66]

The gain over factory power was about right from the exhaust, manifold, TB, plenum & induction mods

Finally got round to fitting the GT3 Grill

how did you fit that fella?

Bought the kit from Design911 which comes with a template, mesh & all the fixings. Simply fix the template in place, drill and then jigsaw out.
