2006 Porsche 987 Cayman 3.4 S Bore Score Edition

It is properly scary and pretty disgusting that Porsche can't seem to get these things right. Credit to them for sorting yours out but I am betting that it very much depends on a pristine OPC history before they (Porsche) would start to try and wriggle a bit. Seems like a real minefield?

Seriously, posts like that do my newly discovered Porsche fetish no good at all.

Swap it for a clio 182 and.... Um..... These magic beans?

People are fools, that's a bargain. Small wheels all the way.

I went out in a friends new Cayman S recently and it was fantastic but I couldn't help thinking it would be even better in something smaller than the 20"(!?) wheels it was wearing.

It's been happening for years. I remember one of the first E46 M3 reviews which spoke highly of the smaller rims that nobody wanted. Blame modern day culture and people who buy cars as accessories rather than dynamic implements.

Thanks for the update, still want to own a Cayman S at some point so following with interest

I do hanker after a Cayman but I just can't get my head around the engine issues, it's such a mine field and it looks like even if you buy from an OPC you could face some wrangling should the worst happen. Fantastic car and the prices are sorely tempting. Do I feel lucky though!

For TRW parts I just search on Amazon, sometimes comes up trumps.

Those 17's look lush. I've just read this through while pretending to work... I'm off to look in the classifieds for a 2.7...

I can't speak for Porsche ones but I used to do parts for MINI's and Koni changed their mind on the FSD about two years after they launched it. They had said stock height only but then even started selling it with matched springs for the MINI's.

I can't say I was ever that impressed with any of the major brands offerings, Koni, Bilstein and KW were all a bit meh for me. I found the usual suspects (KW soft and lacked control on the lower end ones, Bilstien were harsh and a bit st, Koni were ok, and the UK brands were mostly awful and rusted into nothing.)

Personally I run BC RM's on my Cooper S these days which are far better than most of the European options imo, when I started selling the Chinese brands in 2008 they weren't the best but they have really upped their game recently. they are the race / track option but aren't too bad comfort wise. We sold them for a while as well and they hold up well to weather these days esp with a coating of Dyanax UC or AV8 on them.
