What is the purpose of the smiley vent? Does it improve the car's performance?

I'm setting up my Cayman for track duty as well. Just got OMP seats as well.

What seat mounting solution did you go with?

I'm also going for the smiley vent. Care to loan a fellow track addict the cutting template?

Looking good! Love the the aero, gotta get me some haha. Ditch those factory headers ASAP if you still have them, car will turn into a rocket!

Awesome build! It's a good balance of track and street purpose.

The aero makes the car look so much more aggressive.

Digging up an old thread - what a great setup you put together. I'm looking at some of the 18" OZ wheels as a second dedicated track setup for my 987.2 Spyder. Did you go with the same size all the way around, or did you stick to the factory 8.5/10 widths? Trying to navigate this wheel choice is trickier than I thought!

I have the exact same question as daylorb regarding running a square setup. Also, what R-comps does this group like? Have run PSC 2's as well as nitto nt-01's. I like the nittos (don't heat cycle out like the PSC 2's and are not as greasy when super hot), but would would like a tire I can keep on for occasional street use as well.

The nitto-01s I use go on the trailer and if it rains or is too cold I stick with the Michelins that I run on the car to the track
