Track Day: 996 911 Turbo vs. 718 Cayman S @ Buttonwillow CW13

Had a great track day with a friend who has been autocrossing his 996 Turbo, and decided to get a fresh set of Kumho V730's for a casual track day at Buttonwillow with Speed District running popular CW13. My Cayman S is stock + APR exhaust (I switched the muffler for the straight pipe in at the ...

Porsche Motorsports Strut Tower Plates Install

Re: Sounds broken? Cold start vs. Warmed up. 2.5L CS


so that is always something, imho, that should be checked/diagnosed by a Dealer

Unfortunately my local dealer is incompetent, owned by a giant AutoGroup, and runs a skeleton crew of underpaid 20-year-olds. Luckily I have several independent Porsche shops that support PCA and POC racers close to ...

Re: Sounds broken? Cold start vs. Warmed up. 2.5L CS

Oil report back and nothing is showing any wear - AND the wear rate dropped from when I was running Motul 5W40.

I went on a pretty long 300 mile road trip and a couple of canyon drives and the code has not returned.

Re: Sounds broken? Cold start vs. Warmed up. 2.5L CS

The plot thickens - This is worrisome: P000B and P0014 was stored in the computer. It's Bank 1, which is the same "louder" right hand side. I have ordered new cam sensors and a solenoid. AND and oil report for my latest 5K mile change.
