No idea what they'd be like compared to similar Toyo etc, yet one customer I spoke to there with a track focussed 300kw Subaru said he changed from Toyo tyres to Nangkang due to cost, yet he is very happy with the AR1's and can buy 2 sets for the price of other brands one set.

Just had a bit of a chat with someone from pcnsw who is currently running a tipper - response is that the tipper is fine so long as you are braking as well as shifting down & not just banging it down super hard & letting the box do all the work due to overexcitement while driving.

It's likely that 80% of use would be at Wakefield Park.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

I'm looking at acquiring either a tip or pdk track car and feel a Cayman would likely be the best approach. I'm wondering if anyone on here has direct experience with running one of these on the track. It's likely that 80% of use would be at Wakefield Park. I'd be considering either a full track set up (meaning wovr cars are an option and no road drives) or taking a currently registered car and going to a rear cage with bolt in front half allowing for occasional road use or getting to the track under its own steam. It seems from research that there is potential for oil starvation issues and it's likely that pdk would offer greater control than tip however most drivers of the car I'm planning would be first time track users who would likely only take the car to 7/10ths over the course of the day, so I'm not certain how much I'd need to worry about those two details.
Anyone care to share their experience ?
I did a bunch of research back when I had my CS, and the oil starvation seemed to be more of an issue with slicks, but I stand to be corrected. I also heard they could use a larger power steering pulley as they can boil the fluid.
Thanks - I don't imagine too much sustained lateral load at Wakefield on r specs. Will investigate the power steering fluid.
What was the CS (Cayman S)?
Nice - I had an opportunity to drive a pdk cayman a couple of years back at smsp & it was quite fun and very communicative (if ultimately less real somehow than an old banger). We're at the point where it might make sense to have a second track car & while my heart wants something like that red/grey number currently for sale, an auto opens up a whole new set of clients (possibly). The balance of the cayman puts it in front of the 996 alternative.
Just had a bit of a chat with someone from pcnsw who is currently running a tipper - response is that the tipper is fine so long as you are braking as well as shifting down & not just banging it down super hard & letting the box do all the work due to overexcitement while driving. 6 months of running at this point including Bathurst. He managed to blow the box by banging it down too hard (however vehicle is a wovr and unknown heritage). Car happily drove home from wakefield in 3rd gear only so that's kind of admirable. Full rebuild (& beefed up) around 5k. Not running any additional coolers and fine on all available circuits in nsw. Baffle kits available & deep sump from LN Engineering if concerned about pick up. Again, won't matter as much at Wakefield as pickup is on the outside of the vehicle (mostly) at that location but it's likely worth doing anyway. After chatting with developers of box (zf) while on hols os their response wass that they designed the box to be driven hard - no need to be delicate (that's 3rd hand info by the time it got to me). I agree that PDK will be better however most of our clients will be in the 'stick it in D' category so I'm not sure if it matters....food for thought. Seems like a goer at this point unless I hear some horror stories.
Sounds like bloody good fun to me! (Learn to left foot brake if you aren't already. You'll understand when you master it)
I just got back from the tyre shop to look at the Nangkang AR1 dot approved tyres. No idea what they'd be like compared to similar Toyo etc, yet one customer I spoke to there with a track focussed 300kw Subaru said he changed from Toyo tyres to Nangkang due to cost, yet he is very happy with the AR1's and can buy 2 sets for the price of other brands one set. He highly recommends them. Shop owner said for my SC I should get 5000-7000 kms as a Sunday only hills car. They might be worth a look for yourself on a Cayman?
Hmm, I am interested to see who that is? As I am going to be out at the last Super Sprint this Sunday, would like to have a chat to them.
Reason I am interested, we're looking at daily driver replacements, mrs edgy generally uses it Mon-Fri, she said that of the options we spoke of, she'd rather the Boxster (and who am I to argue) but she wants an auto, which I understand she's sick of daily driving manual. So I may find myself throwing my R comps & recaros on a tiptronic boxster soon
I'd agree that from a business and maintenance perspective the traditional slush box is going to be the best bet, the PDK will have a finite number of specialist who can actually do work on it when compared to a traditional ZF auto.
The few tipper owners that I've spoken to speak well for them once you learn how to drive them.
Keep us posted on this adventure
Having run in the PCNSW super sprint and Motorkhanas for awhile now, a leader in both disciplines drives a cayman S pdk for the performance gains
the car is seriously fast and capable ( with a great driver) and some suspension work
you won’t go wrong down this path
cheers
