I must admit, as admirable as this thread was, I always wondered why you didn't just buy a cayman GT4.
Probably not fast enough for a speed addict like Matt.

Only Porsche I would want is a 911 turbo and from what I've read they are lifeless compared to the r8! The Cayman would be super boring and way too slow.

Yeah I've looked at a exhaust but that won't happen till next year!

It needs to become your second car so if you can't afford two cars you can't do it.
Lee you're absolutely right, I can't afford it (well certainly not at the moment). I think I'm just really sad that Matty's car has gone this way - it's the closest car I've seen to being complete and I guess I just really wanted it to finish, work really well and be consistently reliable.



Everyone else that I read about on here who's got a turbo-charged S appears to have loads and loads of problems with them, gearboxes, diffs, heat control, cracking manifolds. There seem to be almost no success stories which I feel there needs to be.


Matty's R8 is undoubtedly an upgrade and is a stunning bit of kit.

The cost has come from trial and error.
We have helped a couple of guys now that probably have spent half the money.

No news, been doing work to my house so no money to do anything else apart from driving it around and enjoying it. I will only use it for special track days like spa. I will get a milltek race exhaust for it when I have some spare cash, might get it ceramic coated to keep the heat in and more crackles and pops
