Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1Original post

2006 Porsche Cayman S , 84,600 miles, 6 speed, Sport Chrono , Xenons, Midnight Blue over Sand Beige Leather. In 2008 at 10,000 miles the following mods were done for the one previous owner by Farnbacher Loles Motorsports at a cost of over $40,000: Crate 997.1 3.8 X51 “power kit” engine M&M (Germany) custom exhaust Quaiffe LSD 996 GT3 6-piston front brakes Center radiator Bilstein PSS9 coilovers Evo intake w/ K&N filter PCCB master cylinder / Castrol SRF I bought the car in 2012 at around 22,500 miles and have added the followIng: Softronic 3.8 conversion flash, est. close to 400 hp at crank Tarett front camber plates + elongated mounting holes - 3*+ negative camber Tarett rear toe links Elephant rear toe locks Stainless steel brake lines GT3 front brake ducts Newish power steering pump, AOS , door speakers Clutch and flywheel replaced at 34946 miles Setrab front-mounted power steering fluid cooler + LN inline cooler Included is new in shrink wrap M&M muffler ($1800) New in plastic Porsche floor mats GT4 style carbon fiber rear wing, chin spoiler Boxster Spyder 19" wheels w/ 6000-mile Continental Extreme Contact Sport ZR tires The car has been tracked for 7.5 seasons and has had 2 incidents that required body work and paint, professionally done. No structural damage - car is straight and aligns normally - remained driveable prior to repair both times. The nose is pitted from track trash. Oil changes every 3000 miles or less w/ Mobil 1 and lately Joe Gibbs Driven oil. Compression test at 78,493 miles - 1-220, 2-225, 3-215, 4-225, 5-210, 6-225. The last 2 D.E.s of 2019 I set personal best times so the engine is running strong. New headliner and touched up interior trim. The painted interior hard surfaces in back are scraped in several places allowing the black plastic to show. I will include some touch up paint and sprayer. 2 keys. While certainly a capable track car, it is still a good looking street car that rides pretty much like a stock Cayman . A PCA friend who has taken Jake Raby's courses and recently rebuilt his own 3.4, borescoped my car and did not find anything. Clean oil pan and filter and no troubling noises. $22,500 Located in Memphis.
