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 going to look at it Friday. I've been looking for an autocross/track car. My one concern is that he says the engine consumes about a quart of oil on track days. It was rebuilt about 20K ago, and it's a Stage II Flat six engine.
Thoughts? Concerns?
2006 Cayman S with Tiptronic
77250 mi. Never wrecked, but modified for track use and still street legal.

This car is being sold AS IS without any warranty.
This sale price includes your choice of the stock and/or track seats, Durametric cable and other extras.
There is also an option to purchase my bespoke Champion forged track wheels with Michelin PS4 tires
(shown in picture). Stock wheels with Continental Contact Sport tires. Nearly new battery.
I would think after 20k miles the rings should be seated . Nikasil cylinders are VERY tough and sometimes can be finicky to seat rings . A manometer test would let you know if the AOS has issues .
Put in a " ticket " to LN Engineering and tell them your concerns . I am sure Jud or Charles will answer quickly . Jud was previously at FSI so may know the build .
Ask him whether he used racing oil. And if he did, how did he manage it? In and out of the engine in a day, a week, a month? Very short term use only. Any UOA's?
