Cayman R Chat

[ChrisW.]

I've just looked at the Marketplace section ... two pages (40 posts) in January, only three with serious engagement ... for all parts and numberplates.

Regarding Facebook ... it's not what I do ... but I do PH (not just Porsche )

"Ads" such as the above are allowed on the Toyota GR Yaris forum ... but look how much traffic there is on the PH GR Yaris forum compared to the Toyota site ? 'Still, worth a try ...

Are there very good reasons for not allowing a small very relevant ads section for each brand ?

This could be particularly useful where there might be helpful technical knowledge ... as above ?

It's interesting to see that quite a few cars have sold recently, so much so that unless you want a Cat D, there are no Manuals currently for sale on AT.

Is it a sign that the market is picking up?

This one has been on for ages but unless you use a very broad search criteria it doesnt appear in the results. Was on my radar but I've opted for a GTS 4.0 instead.

No idea how you found that... I tried all sorts of ways of filtering, even taking out the brand, and still didn't manage to find it with the search. Not sure how they hope to sell it!

Adding 'Bling' in the keyword search box may have pulled it up! Who has all those interior trim pieces painted white - Theophilus P. Wildebeeste? Surely that wasn't a factory option?

I love it BTW but not sure I could live with buckets day to day. I'm also short in body/long in legs and was concerned about not being able to see out properly.

The buckets are not actually set that low in a 987. From what I understand, they're not actually as low as you can get the standard electric seats.

My wife is 5'3" and drives mine with no issues.

I see some lucky person has reserved the gorgeous Viper Green R.

And looks like one of the Red one's is also now reserved.

Signs of spring……….. 🏎️😎

Quite a number of cars have sold recently... there were about 14 for sale a couple of months ago, and now only 3 or 4 if you count the Cat D one.

[Buttocks]

Will the Cat D one ever sell……….sure it’s been on the market for years ?

That sold quickly, it only went up last week!

Not sure if sarcasm? The owner had been trying to sell it for about 2 years. It has been on and off sale sites for ages at various prices, some of which would have made it nearly the price it was new.

Nice to see one with some proper mileage but spec could be better for me

Will be interesting to see what it goes for

I reckon it’ll need to be £20k tops for it to sell !

Been advertised elsewhere for £28k — very punchy for spec and miles

[the benno]

£24250 plus 6% so £25705 all in

That’s a fair price I guess for the spec and mileage ? Maybe a tad under what it should be worth I guess

Hi all,

A question to those of you who have fitted 997 GT3 lower coffin arms to your 987.2 for more camber.

When you replace the 987.2 stock lower arms with the stock 997 GT3 arms, did you also have to change the stock tuning fork arms for 997 GT3 ones or do the 987.2 tuning forks fit over the 997 GT3 coffin arms okay?

Did you have any other issues or parts you needed, other than spacers and misc nuts or washers?

For clarification I am only referring to OE replacement and not aftermarket items such as elephant, RSS, Tarret etc.

Any info you have on this is much appreciated.
