Cant stop smiling about where the foot mat is. How many boxes does one car need lol. Steady progress but will be worth it I'm sure.

Thank you. Ideally getting some new wheels next week which I'm thinking about having painted in green. Yes I know green but I think they'll look nice for 'dry' track wheels.

It's not just that, it's the 'box' itself. Then fibreglass. Supports in the box. Coverings and plastics, equipment etc etc. Crazy amount of weight when you add it up. Even 5 years ago this car seemed old but my gosh it was functional...

Power cap isn't really the way to go in the (ICE) world unless you've had an install designed at Halfords. Irony here as I had one (1 Farad ) when I first had my old install installed. Was more for looks than function though. I think the argument regarding having lots of batteries due to weight...

Just had these arrive, pretty excited to try them out. Bedding in required first though! XP8 compound. If they are any where near as effective as they were on the Evo I'll be a happy man.

Clearly your Witt outweighs your car knowledge or arguably driving style. After owning a few Boxsters in various trim/packages the Cayman is a a totally different drive to the Boxster. Maybe due to the roof maybe down to the stance but for some reason the Cayman basically out handles the...

But clearly your partner drove both. Boxster handles well but the Cayman is much more poised on the road and feels more connected. If you read I compared the Cayman against the Z4M which was for sale before and during the Cayman.

But we were comparing the OP's car so only fair we compared to a 03 boxster. Clearly you've not drove either as they are night and day handling! If we went from all dates why not add a F40 while we're at it!

Never been keen on the VII , not sure on the front bumper either. The VIII looks nice though! I always thought the Fq400 came standard with carbon mirrors?

Looks really nice. Did you do it yourself?

Ran the 172 on T1R's all day at an Oulton outting. They did ok. For £50.00 a corner they are no 'track day' tyre but certainly not as bad a people make out. Obviously a more track specific tyre would be better I.E R888 but even then there only a watered down 'track slick' at a higher cost...

Cayman S has a 3.4 litre compared to the Boxster S 3.2. Also the feel the cayman gives compared to the boxster is night and day. The cayman feels so much poised and ready to go where the boxster can feel a little lazy sub 5000rpm. Either way like I said I think the S sits nicely between the...

Where about you based Chris?

Some of those pictures were taken near T6 ( Toll ). Thanks for the comments. Needs a good detail soon so will post more pictures then.

I'll call you Monday morning Fred.

Well wasn't feeling the best today so thought I'd spend a few hours in the fresh air outside. I know this'll not be to every ones taste but I really did need to incorporate some more green onto / into the car as the green 'bullet's' look out of place on there own. Again not a hugely...

Some nice carbon mirrors would look nice. Also a huge fan of the rexpeed carbon side skirts which'd look nice on that. Really nice car!

Wow, stunning!

The irony... Joking aside with K-Tec reputation at the moment nothing would surprise me if he had a R/R graph stating 240bhp.

Well that's just perfect lol. Just waiting for Fred@BTM to call me back to arrange to get what ever it is needs doing.

It's strange as I feel the 'S' sits nicely in between the 3.0 and 'M' version of the Z4. ( 3.2 S 280bhp ish ) so in my opinion the S vs 3.0 is about right. I'd say the 'M' is more against the Cayman? Could be wrong though...

Edit: I've already swapped the passenger side 'arm'. This mean it most likely the drivers side or problem else where?

Steering bush doesn't look that hard to change over but no idea about the steering arms...

Yes seems to be a little play when at 3-9 o'clock position. Have phoned @Fred@BTM so hopefully will be able to book it in and get it back to normal.

Sorry maybe under powered maybe the wrong word, for me the boxster s always felt like it had a little more and I'm sure they are to rival one another. That's taking nothing away from the Z4, they are a stunning car. In fact a lot of car for the money these days. I've been thing about selling...

I'll check them both tomorrow thank you!

I'll try to describe as best as possible. It may just be me so please bear with me. If I turn into a corner the steering wheel will be at 4 o'clock but the wheels may only be at 2 o'clock. Before our day at Oulton the steering seemed to be a little more responsive. Any suggestions?

Not after a 'weld' in version as I already looked, shame though! I'd love to be around the 950kg in total. But few more things before I dive into weight reduction.

I do think sub 1000kg is possible without going too extreme but least we know the weight now as a bench mark.
