    Depending on rear tires diameter, revs at 120km/h (no ticket highway speed in Quebec!) look like this with diffetent pinion/ring:

    3.62 = 2800rpm
    3.91 = 3000rpm
    4.10 = 3200rpm
    4.44 = should be at 3500rpm

    Anyway my Estoril barely gets out of the garage… so at least I will be shifting gears more often and it should be fun with the new setup: Karbonius CSL intake, Dinan ITB, Schricks 280/272 cams, Turner underdrive pulleys, Supersprint Stepped headers, catted section 1, twin tubes section 2 & Sport muffler!

      Gt4 as long as you know that the speed for rpm you quoted is speedometer indicated nit GPS. Assuming 265/35/18 3.62 for 120kph is bang on 3,000rpm

      For the use case for your car, it will be a trip every time you take it out. Excited to see what it puts down.

        Yes it depends of tires diameter. It cames with 26’’ 255/40/18 from factory. 265/35/18 are 25.5’’ so it affects speed/RPM.

          Awesome color! Please post pics on the car! I rebuilt a set of ZCPs last year and resprayed black but if I rebuild another set, I'll powder coat for sure.

            I'm in Wilson. Yeah I hardly see any either. I'm pretty sure I've seen yours at a CnC in Franklin, doubt there are many LSBs around here.

            I plan to start going to the CnC in Lebanon again!

              Been working on interior a bit.

              Did radio delete and replaced majority of all soft touch plastic trim.

              Deleted multi function steering wheel controls and opted to do button less one (I think for reg 3 series) as I dont have zcp package for one button.

              I like the clean look.

                That does look very nice. If I didn't use my radio (and steering wheel controls) as much as I do, I'd have done this a long time ago.

                Completely a matter of taste, but if you want the black trim to match the rest of the titan shadow trim, you could send it out to TexaZ3 to get it redone.

                  Thanks. I think I am leaning on doing that for sure. I think the top and bottom being titan would be nice too.

                    I might have gone to the dark side. 😬 I got my M3 a garage mate!

                    It's a bit dirty from the trip (and sitting with the selling dealer for several months) but that's what weekends and a hose are for.

                        Super nice. I'm casually looking for a Cayman myself. I saw this car for sale when browsing, it is definitely an eye catcher.

                          Gracias, mi amigos!

                          I have wanted a Cayman R ever since they came out. I am ironically not as much of a 911 fan as I am a Cayman. Maybe I like to cheer for the underdog, ha. Don't get me wrong, I really like 911s but this Cayman checks all the boxes. It's track prepped (kick ass brakes, suspension mods, roll bar, etc.), low miles and meticulously maintained. Bought it about a month ago and finally got it here.

                          Oceansize - I wasn't sure about the wing and splitter. In person, it looks right on the car. I'm diggin it and haven't had a chance to even drive it. This was "kind of big week" in the financial services industry that employs me...

                            Oh man, that thing is awesome. I've always liked the Cayman R. Congrats!
