CMA Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 2 minutes ago, lofi said: I’ve never seen anything on my insurance about locking wheel nuts, might need to check From a quick google I got this which makes sense I guess: "If the car is fitted with locking wheel nuts from the factory and you remove them your insurance company would consider this a modification and increased risk. Remove them by all means but don't expect them to pay out if the wheels get nicked. If you inform them you have replaced the locking nuts with standard ones they would pay out but would have increased your premium." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it 15 quid, and we can talk mate...? Oh hang on, did you mean for the photo, or the actual car...? If it's for the photo, I will take 12 quid and not a penny less (The car is obviously not for sale, at any price) And yes, I'm having fun, the Cayman is brilliant and everything I hoped it would be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madlil Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 I tried the free exhaust mod on the 981 today - loosening and sliding the clamped sleeve between the top pipe on the back boxes to create a small gap. If anyone if thinking of doing this, don't bother - with just a 2mm gap the car sounded horrendous, and had terrible drone. At least I scratched the itch. Back to stock now.....

GTSMarky Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Took mine to my local garage for an oil change. Have provided the liquid gold myself to flex my Halfords trade card. When I quizzed the 'Porsche' Indy they said it was just an oil & filter plus air filters for the minor service, so seeing as my pollen filters I've done and have BMC air filters in nothing to change there.

Ringmaster999 Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Bought new rear smoked lights for my 981 from local OPC. Yet again certain well known Porsche part suppliers are more expensive than your OPC. Or at least following the 10% discount for PCGB membership. But honestly I think anyone can get 10% as I’ve never been asked for proof of PCGB membership. Hopefully get them by the weekend and fitting Saturday or Sunday.

Afrikaner Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Its worth working with local OPC and building relationship. Just done on my 2016 S the GTS rears lights, LEDS indicators and Alu fuel cap all way cheaper than anyone else. I got 10 % plus plus . Also done glass wind deflector (German) with PORSCHE logo (copied) and Zunsports in painted rear valance. Think I am done..............or am I ?

Rob™ Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Summer tyres back on after their refurb and a subsequent locking nut whoopsie - only £15 for a new nut widget, I was expecting it to be more for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one, I am working on my install video, it's very long as you can imagine and looks like I'm doing a yoga session running the cables !

I'll be having someone else do it - if I can break something reasonably sturdy like the locking wheel nut tool, I'd be paying out for a whole new stereo if I got my fingers in there... or do those motherboard screws not need to be tightened to 160Nm?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, the pcm bit is fairly straightforward once it's out. It's the cable running that is the pain, quite literally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
