Sorry Rex, in my previous post - yes of course as I'm sure you realised, I meant the 981 :ashamed: I'm realising the subtle differences that the GTS has compared with the 'S' model, although I couldn't really spot them knowingly until your thread now, particularly the tail lights :happy2:
I love driving the GTS from RSR, hopefully they keep it another year or two as they seem to be getting rid of their not-so-new and more expensive to run cars!
The fog grille mods look superb, I love something home-made that ends up OEM looking :evilgrin:
The 981 Cayman S is still very expensive in the UK (£35k + still) which shows it's appeal and resale value is still substantial. Be great when the values settle a little because they're a great weekend and track-car as you're demonstrating with this build :drinking:
Shoduchi:
Great work @rex! :happy2:

Hi Rex,
Finally had some time to discover the well hidden topic :doh: and the car in action, I quite enjoyed the second video, even if you say it was slower, I find it very fluid despite the traffic and ultimately for me this is most important on the Nring beside safety :smiley:. I’m a little curious about the steering feel on a track like Nordschleife (I’ve never driven a Cayman on the track) , you seem to do a lot of ‘’in bend ‘’ corrections ?, especially on the first video, maybe being used to your usual track car and adapting gradually? Nevertheless, very good, real (=changing gears ), driving as usual :happy2: and beautiful, special, car especially irl, quite jealous as I sad :smiley:
Sorry about your misfortune in Italy, it could’ve been much worse as you said, besides you didn’t have a central radiator behind the bumper to start leaking, immobilize your car and ruin your trip :wink:. You shouldn’t be too harsh on yourself, in Italy they don’t have the reflex to manually activate the emergency lights in hard braking as in Germany or most of the other countries, the collisions are the rule over there. I can see by the way you quickly recovered and the car looks better than ever, love the GTS additions, very impressed by your mechanic and custom work also :congrats:
Finally, it was really a pleasure to meet again and share our common passion at the Ring, see you next time soon! :driver:
Best regards,
wipperman
P.S. If I were to guess, that Seat doing such a clean run is driven by a local at the rental company, not by a customer, fiy, one more reason to be pleased with your run
