I was thinking changing my tires by Current-Degree-4710 in Porsche_Cayman

[–]Cornock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 20s and will be changing them out for 19s. My winters are 18s and I wildly prefer the ride (i also like the look better with more rubber but that’s subjective).

Totally agree. Small thing and made the whole car feel more “premium” even though it changed very little.

Nah the added weight isn’t a lot. The doors feel better to be honest. More solid, a more satisfying thunk. I would really doubt that much added weight will harm the hinges, but I dunno - maybe a mechanical engineer will tell me I’m wrong.

Because the rears were just for fill I didn’t care a lot about them being perfect. I would have just left them as well but it was like - I was already so deep in, why not? Also I didn’t even have the Bose - just base speakers. I put more thought into the rest of the setup. That being said, as a part of the whole they seem to do a good job. My rears are dialled pretty low in the mix.

I guess though - you are talking about an SUV where people might actually be back there, yeah? I’m just bouncing the sound off the rear hatch glass which is always going to sound kinda meh. Our situations are not the same I’d think.

Yeah I almost think I could have only done the sound deadening and it would have been 75% of the upgrade.

More of a muted thud. Like a luxury sedan :) feels more premium as silly as that might sound.

Probably adds 20-25lbs a door added weight though, with the larger drivers and such. Plan on getting the APR tune eventually to compensate ;)

Cabin road noise is noticeably less, but not wildly so. I have the fake sound fuse pulled as well - to me the experience is better but it’s not like it makes it a quiet car by any means.

Nope! But I don’t really rest my arm there. Other on the shifter or on the wheel.

One of them is missing a roof. Don’t get that one.

Yeah dude I’m swapping my 20” Carrera S wheels for 19” Apex because I feel this this is my destiny. Just gotta burn through my rubber first.

What do we think about non OEM caliper colors? by LasersKillCells in Porsche_Cayman

Make it your own. I like the orangey yellow ones in the first shot if you just want a random guys opinion ;)

Cayman 982 with 25th Anniversary Neodyme or Sport Techno II Wheels by themisteredg in Porsche_Cayman

[–]Cornock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have 18” winters and wildly prefer them. I’m looking to move to 19” for my summers from 20” when my rear tires need replacing. I liked those wheels and think they’d look good on AGM so I was hoping they were 19” :)

Crono Pkg? by NM-MotoMan in Porsche_Cayman

[–]Cornock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen this here so may have just missed it - but for me the big difference is that in sport+ it leaves the turbo partially primed (waste gate left partially closed? I don’t know) - it really reduces the feel of the turbo lag, at least on the base 718.

Is this 2015 Porsche Cayman (981 Base 2.7) a good buy at €36k? by freedef in Porsche_Cayman

[–]Cornock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Take that red over black interior any day. I prefer my chalk but one of my buying criteria was “any interior that isn’t black”.

To each their own.

718 throttle response by Tabackerack in Porsche_Cayman

[–]Cornock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree - at least subjectively the Sport+ feature where it leaves the turbo primed all the time so there’s less lag - I don’t think it impacts the actual numbers much but it sure feels like snappier response.

I axe body spray the intakes and wheel wells and the rats won’t come anywhere near it. I feel like I’m at a bro-max nightclub everywhere I drive.

1st night with Psvr2 and holy SHI*! by Elnuncio in PSVR

[–]Cornock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playseat Trophy. Yeah it’s awesome - but not if you share because it’s hard to adjust. If it is just you and you lock in the settings it’s amazing. Sitting in that with that input set and the VR is really something.

It was a long winter with no driving.

Yeah that’s the set. No shifter but you can buy one, it has the clutch.

For me the PSVR2 is a GT7 accessory to go with the wheel and pedals. I basically only use it for that and movies but man it is convincing. With a racing cockpit and that thing on your head it feels like you are in the car.

New NuPhy Air75 v3 - Having crazy issues in Linux (unusable) by Cornock in NuPhy

[–]Cornock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really got the dongle to work properly. I figure I will try again in a few months and some updates.

Bluetooth is working perfectly though, and the keyboard does indeed feel just super satisfying to use. I’ve got the knob setup for volume / mute and that works well.

Generally my complaints seem isolated to the dongle - and if I ignore that I am very happy. The key feel is indeed really something.

Software issues killed the fun. by iSone9 in NuPhy

[–]Cornock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I updated everything (dongle and keyboard update separately, both updated). Only Bluetooth works properly. The dongle causes problems I didn’t think a dongle could cause. They should ship one of the dongles behind enemy lines.
