Porsche Cayman S Race Car

I hear they are pretty crucial to the whole racing concept. I may be wrong though.
Nice one, was that in Britcar? Might be doing a few rounds later in the season, you guys doing any GT Cup?
Glad we aren't the only ones being fobbed off by them.
About 8-10k for the box then loom and ECU so we can have paddles and autoblip. Doubtful it will happen, me old man will take some persuading.

Would be worth every penny, surely?
Alternatively, how much of the current box would you end up using or would it be fully rebuilt with bespoke casings/gearset?

It would for outright performance but it would mean missing a lot of race weekends. If we did go for it we'd make a 996/997 cup racer box fit seen as its tried and tested equipment It has been done in America and Porsche built 1 GT4 Cayman and I think it had a sequential box but it never raced.
Another avenue would be custom gear set and keep the H pattern. These are all longer term though at the moment we just want to get it out racing!

What wheels where?
Rear wheels and they are out of shot, not bloody fronts though!

Wont it be a bit pushy with just rear wheels?
Only a lot.

Awesome progress looks stunning.
looks stunning.Awesome progress
Cheers, trying to decide on a colour scheme at the moment.
Just waiting for the front wheel now, rear arrived on Friday.
Popped in today for a seat fitting and to measure up for a steering wheel, hugely impressed with the progress and workmanship of SVP. Everything is going together nicely and its back on all four wheels!
The flywheel and clutch have turned up but we are waiting on the spigot bearing so the standard item is in there currently. The GT3 white against the black trim and wheels is a great combo and its a shame to put any stickers on it.
Pictures:
The pictures are a bit crap as I didn't want to get in the way, the geo and ride height are yet to done too hense the rally car esque arch gap. The car goes for its final flatting down on Tuesday then Oulton Wednesday then onto Brands Friday-Saturday.

paying a bill isn't work LOL!
Certainly is and cracking picture as ever
Was a good day yesterday and went very smoothly for a shakedown after such a quick build!

This driveby video was from one of the first few laps of the day.

Don't think it sounds like that now.

What happened?
It's lost a piston and taken a few other bits of the engine with it fingers crossed they can get it fixed in time!
fingers crossed they can get it fixed in time!Rod let go punching a hole in the liner and sending the piston into the valves and the crank though the crank carrier. The piston metal went into the inlet and down into the other bank. Number 5 and 6 hydraulically locked due the liner breaking. All in all a pretty good blow up.
Hopefully sourcing an engine in time for next weekend but the Bank holiday is causing havoc.
Before that the car was quick and the chassis was beautifully balanced after we fitted stiffer front spring and a few other bits and bobs. Gutted is an understatement.

Nope just had new ancillaries, plugs, core etc. It had a good check over but you cant get access to the crank due to the flat layout. Just one of those things, we know a few others who have had the similar issue with taking a road engine and racing it mainly 996 3.4s.
