It was everything. Pressure plate, clutch, arm, pilot/ToB. Parts were roughly $1200 rest was labor. kind of sucked with that much labor but I didn’t have the tools or space to do it myself. I do a lot of work on it myself but this is something I wasn’t willing to tackle. I was also at the mercy of their pricing. …

My ‘06 987 Cayman S was going great for the first 2 years. Probably around $700 for general maintenance. Did the oil changes and brake pad replacements myself. The kicker was the $3300 I just had to spend on getting a new clutch kit. The CS is my daily driver and still is a great car. I have put on 32k miles on…

I still think Mazda has better designs. I wish they would expand a little and get a couple of more models. A 6 Coupe would be great.

Can’t do anything to a Porsche without these:

I wouldn’t have a problem driving a higher mileage Porsche as long as it has maintenance documentation. The 911s of this generation that are garage queens are the ones that have had a lot of problems. When they sit around the internals don’t get the oil moved around the engine and keep the parts lubed and fresh. If…

Going with some of the french themes, the Renault Alpine A310/GTA

Good luck trying to find one that hasn’t been lowered and have a huge fart can out the back.

My head cannot process this image.........

Oh, and I will take one of everything in this post.

Every year when I go to Road America for a vintage Festival I see an Audi Quattro at a local garage. It is well “used” but I want it so badly so I can either restore it or convert it completely to a full Rally car.

Pelican Parts: All the same spark plug for a 2006 Porsche Cayman S. Even Same Part number.

Everyone hears about the dreaded IMS issue with the 987 models. As long as you get one that has actually been driven, that shouldn’t be an issue. Those things need the oil and if they sit too long the bearing can dry out and that is when you get issues. I also cut apart my oil filter every time to check to see if…

I am with this guy. If you can do some of the wrenching yourself, you will save yourself a ton of money. I was quoted $400 to replace spark plugs on my ‘06 Cayman S from and independent shop. I can get plugs for $40 that are the same things as OEM, they just don’t say Porsche on them. That and a couple of hours in…

Just a couple of my favorites. The Cayman is my DD. The blue one, I will let everyone guess what that is. It was taken at Road America during the Vintage Festival.

two more candidates for NPCP?

Is it me or does this look like a Porsche Cayman 987 other than the rear? Not that is a bad thing.

Problem is that Fifth Gear is no longer being produced.

Want, want, want, want, want, want, want, want, want, want, want, want, want, want, want, want, want, want, want, want, want...............

I can’t say much about the reliability or quality but I finally saw one in the flesh and was actually able to sit in it. I thought it was cool as hell. I am a car guy and my daily driver is a 2006 Cayman S. I am also a tech nerd and love all of the new technology available in it.

This is the problem that I have with my Cayman. I want to adjust the pedals so much. I try and rev-match when downshifting but it is hard to brake at the same time.
