18x12 with 335 tucks under new flares nicely


18x11 fits nicely under front flare too.

Getting there. Still not to XP class weight or power but the car is quick.

Since then car lost another 100 lbs, I have upgraded suspension with all mono *****, tweaked alignment.

I am looking at 991 3.0 turbo motor as possible power upgrade or may just bolt fast spooling single turbo to my 3.4 motor. Shooting for 500 hp and 2000 lbs. when car gets more power it's going to be scary fast! It's fast now but doesn't have acceleration of a GT3 but with turbo and 2000 lbs it should be tough to beat.

Alameda was first time out with wider wheels and tires so was a bit tentative . I have run it one more time and feeling very comfortable in seat now. I had previously had too much rear toe out and car was spinning uncontrollably at limit so I was always holding back. Now with correct rear toe and 335/30/18 A7 in rear I'm much more comfortable with driving car at limit

Hi Grant, we met in Crows. I had the Cayman S in BStreet. If you ever decide to part with this build please please please let me know. This is a serious inquiry.

Stage 2 TPC Turbo with upgraded ball bearing turbo, blow of valve, intercooler etc is on way . Hope to have car upgraded by mid February. Gearing still sucks but eventually I will work on better gear that assures car is always on fat part of the torque curve. I have lightweight Lexan windshield that was specially made for the car. Weight should be very close to 2000 lbs with Turbo installed. I will need to ballast up to XP class weight when running SCCA.

Who knows. I may be moving to Big Island Hawaii in couple years. Might be a possibility as no AX there yet.
