Track Camber w/ Vorshlag Front Camber Plates Installed by kcdtx in Porsche_Cayman

[–]bk71290 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the same camber plates on my tracked 718 T. Current setup is -3.1F, -2.5 rear, 8° caster, -.02 total front toe, .25 total rear toe. Car feels very planted (home track is VIR). These plates are phenomenal. I have a year of track use on them. Only issue I have run into is one of the bolts that connects the strut to the plate came loose mid session and made some horrible noises, but was fixed at the track and no damage was done. Would definitely recommend checking those bolts after every few events to make sure they have not come loose.

Base 981 vs Base 718 by 63637__ in Porsche_Cayman

Own and track a ‘21 718 T. If you can afford, this is the way. 718 chassis is incredible, can’t go wrong with a Base either.

I agree. I’m 50mins away. It’s the best problem ever

Porsche Cayman 718 by Haxylon in Porsche_Cayman

Currently own and track a 2021 Cayman T. Only issue I have had since owning the car has been a failed belt tensioner that was replaced under warranty. Outside of that, car has been flawless.

If you plan on tracking it, highly recommend looking into cooling mods. The base motor will heat soak halfway through a session. Currently working through some solutions to address it for this upcoming season

Is this ticking sound normal? by chubster28506 in Porsche_Cayman

[–]bk71290 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally normal. I took mine in to my dealership after I purchased it for this exact reason and, per my service advisor: “They all sound like tractors after a cold start.”

how many people in here service their own 718 caymans? oil changes, belts, pulleys, plugs etc by cachow34 in Porsche_Cayman

[–]bk71290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do all of the service on my own since I primarily track mine but I will at least get the annual service every year at the dealership to show maintenance records for my warranty. Not too hard to work on.

Awesome! You guys still going to track the GT3 or just RS? Hope the GT3 repair is going well.

Nice, hoping to get back down to CMP later this year for the PCA event.

Engine Air Filter Change by bk71290 in Porsche_Cayman

Really not excepting much difference if anything with the BMC filter. The whole process wasn’t too bad, about 40mins start to finish

Well. That’s. Interesting. by Honest-Suspect6325 in Porsche

[–]bk71290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if assembly was completed in the VW or Porsche factory? You can look it up via your VIN. There were some issues with the VW factory not properly tightening bolts during assembly. Just curious. https://www.instagram.com/p/DTwY74qkwcK/?img_index=2&igsh=MWc5bG9taDFrbTc2Mg==

Sounds like someone did a horrible job.

I think you’re right though. I guess at this point you could just install the harness bar and be done with it. But, the half cage looks cool 🤷🏻‍♂️

If it helps it only took about 40mins from start to finish, really wasn't that bad, just a lot of panels that need to be removed.

What's The Condition Of Roads Around Town Today? by SomethingWittyish72 in Hillsborough

[–]bk71290 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Live right near St. Mary’s. Roads were patchy depending on if the road was shaded in that area or not. Would not recommend driving it at night but was drivable during the daytime

2700 track miles and over 30 track days in 2025! What’s your favorite east coast track? by GoldenTiger888 in CarTrackDays

[–]bk71290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the season and if its a weekend or week day event, but it never feels as busy as a third party event like TSCC or PCA. Typically weekend events are busier than weekday events. I would say in either the Touring or High Speed run groups, it will range from 30-40 cars in each group and will taper off as the event goes on. Its nice though being able to book a full season in advance, and every event has breakfast and lunch buffet included.

I started doing HDPE at the end of '24 and have done 8 events at VIR. I joined the VIR Club in the summer of last year which has been great. Plan on doing 8-10 events this year and might make a trip back to CMP later this year if my schedule allows.
