Hiya last year I bought a 2006 Cayman S (M97) off my uncle with 47,000km on it. He was the second owner and it's been lightly driven with regular maintenance from both owners. This will be my fourth year doing HPDE days and the first with this car. I'm looking for some advice on the modifications I'll need to drive it safely on the track. I'm in my mid 30s so I'm not trying to set any records, just enjoy the drive and pull some decent laps. I haven't decided on tires yet but I'm probably going to run Sport Cup 2's.
What I've purchased so far;
Dension Gateway 500
Rennline radiator grills
Rennline third radiator kit
New spark plugs
K&N air filter
Goodridge stainless steel brake lines
Castrol SRF brake fluid
Carbotech XP10/8 pads
GT3 brake ducts
I do oil changes every 6 months and I'm always well under the required km. I found this thread https://www.planet-9.com/987-cayman...suggestions-tracking-cayman-s.html#post770143 and wondered if anyone had a link to the under drive pulley he mentioned to prevent damage to the power steering pump. That thread is quite old and I didn't want to necro it.
If there's anything else you'd recommend please reply! I'm not looking to add more power I'm only concerned with reliability. The car is fast enough for me as it is. Our track is not a high speed track it's technical at only 2.5km with 11 corners Atlantic Motorsport Park – The heart of racing in the Maritimes!. I'm going to have a track alignment done before our first day to add as much negative camber as stock will allow with 0 toe. Next year I'll do Bilsteins, upgraded sway bars, and add more camber once I get a better feel for the car.
Thanks!
