Cayman R Owners Discussion Thread
Discussion
So i've a few jobs on the list for mine:
- Fit front wheel spacers and have full geo done
- Annoying rattle coming from rear, not sure what but need to find it (i suspect air box) - probably have Paragon fix it under warranty
- Might do something with the brakes, definitely not a fan of the feel of them and I know this is a common complaint with the R, they certainly don't feel as positive as my Cayman S felt which bothers me - maybe new pads, any recommendations for improving feel?

Gratious picture of my dirty one.
Got the spyder summer wheels ready in the shed!
Mine is manual, sport chrono, buckets, spyder wheels, xenons and parking sensors and thats about it. No Aircon no PSE. 6000 miles atm.
Gonna take it to Racing Erich in Germany somewhere around may/june. He promised me a dyno-proven 375 horsepower, they got a Racing rigged Cayman R with almost 390!
Map, headers, exhaust, plenum intake throttle body , gonna delete the cats I think and have the original exhaust in the garage just in case.
Should shovel quite well!

Car looks great in white Beanoir.
Who is the guy in Germany mentioned and where did you hear of him? Is there another forum better for tuning/tweaking of these cars?
Ehresmann automotive, think he is ahead of most other tuners when it comes to 987s and 981s to be honest. He has already transplanted a 991 GTS engine into a 981 boxster, goes like stink!

Read about him on the pff.de forums and planet 9.
