is very good and will not cause you any problems unless you track the car or increase the grip to a very high output on the road where you will have traction like you do in a track (by using super sticky semislicks & good racing suspencion).

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

i am new to this forum and i have heard about possible engine problems with the cayman motor? i plan on getting a 07 cayman and was wondering if anyone had significant problems with their motor. thanks to anyone who replies in advance and hope to be a part of the cayman community soon.

The M97 engine is very good and will not cause you any problems unless you track the car or increase the grip to a very high output on the road where you will have traction like you do in a track (by using super sticky semislicks & good racing suspencion). If you want to track your car a series of modifications must be made in order to be safe, I personnally had broken my engine ( 3.8 X51 ) the very first day I went in track because I did not know aobout its weakness in oil starvation. Check the following link of what you need for race use http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-boxs.../cayman-boxster-tech/30941-oilsafe-kit-scavenge-pump-improvement-987-997-a.html In any case you should also buy the X51 oil pan & an extencion for the sump. You will find many companies doing these kits, I personnally baught them from suncoast : http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/me...gory_Code=987s http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/me...gory_Code=987s Relevant topics where you will find many peoples' stories : http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-boxster-tech/30204-causes-m97-21-engine-failure.html http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-boxster-competition/30123-oil-starvation-issues.html http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-boxster-modifications/30231-boxster-s-987-3-8-x51-engine-failure.html I currently track the car with full slicks & have no problem at all after the modifications.

POST 3Original post

More of the same, you shouldn't see a problem on the street but if you track your car there are extra protections you should take as listed above and in several topics on this site. Welcome to the site, have a look around, and hope you find a Cayman you like soon, they really are terrific cars!

POST 4Original post

thanks, i just got a 07 base cayman and i love it, i just want to track the car couple times would i need to upgrade the oil pan and other stuff if i wanted to just track it once or twice? thanks.

POST 5Original post

I haven't done anything to my engine, the whole car is basically stock and have been tracking for about 8K miles, no issues. I am no authority on this matter, but if you stay away from slick racing tires during track days, you should not worry about the engine. I use semi-race tires , Toyo R888s, and as I mentioned, I have had no issues at all, besides being slow on the track
