Cayman R Chat

[frayz]

Seen pics of that Peridot 991 before. Not sure I like it as much on that as i do my R.
Also spotted this on the ‘Gram.
Someone decided to diamond cut their Spyder wheels.

I have to say, it works waaaay better than I thought it would.

On the R wheels, if their aim was to make them look like some cheap Chinese knock off's they certainly succeeded

I really like that and I am not normally a fan of diamond cut wheels. Looks well against the black.

Mind you what the heck do I know, I like that Peridot GT3 but I am not so keen on it on an R, go figure

Wasnt supposed to bloody rain was it. She needs new wiper blades too, dead from lack of use. Ha!

[PaulD86]

Same here. Blades on mine have gone a bit hard. Anyone found any particularly good on their Cayman? The oens on mine at the moment are the Porsche branded ones as they went on when it still had a warranty on it.

[frayz]

Just going to fit Bosch. Cheap enough, solid build quality do the job as well as any other.
Sod putting on £50 worth of PIAAs for a car that (almost) never sees rain

Hi
With regards to Michelin PS4S tyres and uk temperature
Do you find in the UK, considering we don't get Artic conditions, well occasionally, do you find the 4S's can stay on throughout the year, for the most part. Or do you only use them in summer months? and if you swop them over what do you recommend for the R?

I ask as looking at the temperature stats for the 4S's it seems to be around 30F, which is 0 c. Of course if it was snowing or sheet ice over the road, I'd probably not drive anyway, but keen to get your thoughts as from research it seems the temperature thresholds would, being a global tyre, be more concerning for other countries than the UK.
Best regards

Unless you are daily driving the car mid winter in sub zero temps PS4S are fine all year round imo. Amazing tyre in the wet and work reasonably well at low temps, never had an issue with mine.

Ah thank you for your reply of your experience with PS4S's. That is good to know. Yep my R is not used as a daily driver and especially not if the weather was sub zero.

Good to know, as most of the online chat is people in the US where winters do get severe, but figured in this climate must be ok.

If any of you recall my first impression of the R was how firm it is, and since replacing what was on there (6 to 7 years old Pilots) I got a full set of PS4S's fitted this week and the ride has notably improved, to the point where now it fees perfect...and no doubt how it should have been all along. Best regards

Have been running approx 30 psi front and 32/33 psi rear on the road, on track I start at this for a few laps then come in as they heat up and bleed them down to just above this level, then just check on them prior to each session. I never run more than about 10 laps at a time anyway as they tend to get a bit too greasy.

Before I leave the track I check them and put back a few psi as required.

Biggest mistake I made was completely staying off the racing line in on cooling down laps, they picked up a load of marbles and became very noisy and a bit juddery.

Thank you for your reply, much appreciated. I assume by that you mean you run them all year round yep?

Stevie wasn't in the shop that Saturday morning, I believe his good mate, some bloke called Ray Charles, was deputizing for him ...
