That's a bit steep for the bigger shims ... are they gold plated? Could you get away with seven 1mm shims instead? Jeff 987.2 Cayman S North Beds (R10 & R24) Quote Reply #101

It's now all sorted on my car with additional 5mm shims fitted to the front, £70 for the pair, taking the total to 10mm. My car is now running: Standard ride height ARBs in the middle setting front and rear -2 degrees of camber each side at the front 0:02 minutes of total toe-in at the front -1:30 degress of camber each side at the rear 0:20 minutes of total toe at the rear Job done. Just need the rain to clear off now so I can finish off the last 400-odd miles of running in! Quote Reply #109

I came across a video showing how to gain access to the rear strut top and it was very fiddly and time-consuming, so maybe that's one of the main reasons why no-one bothers when resetting the geo. We're talking very small angles of arc here, and you can't help but feel that with time and perseverance it would be possible to 'nudge' the top mounts towards the centre of the car ... who knows? I always wonder how robust the geo settings remain once set and you've driven a few thousand miles on knobbly UK roads rather than smooth track surfaces.

I always wonder how robust the geo settings remain once set and you've driven a few thousand miles on knobbly UK roads rather than smooth track surfaces. Jeff 1:30 is absolute maximum on the rear on my car Jeff, and when Googling over the last week or so on the subject it seems that's the limit on both the 981 and 982 GT4s if you're running standard ride height and parts. I'm fine with that, it's good enough for a road car but if you track a lot you'd probably need the RSS rear toe or Stage One suspension kit to get more camber but keep a decent amount of toe. As for the stability of the settings, I think they're bound to move a bit. My car currently has a slight imbalance on the front camber settings by a small number of minutes, but I suspect even if they were perfect on the Hunter machine one pothole/bump/kerb hop and you'd be out again by a few minutes anyway. Speaking to the guys at Ninemeister they just put the absolute maximum they could on both sides and found the slight difference acceptable. AndrewCS Thank you … particularly useful given that both 981 and 718 share the same, recommended standard settings and I presume the same system design Exactly the same suspension parts on the 981 and 982 GT4 Andrew, no difference whatsoever. Your car will have the same adjustment and subsequent limitations as mine :) Quote Reply #112

Very hot day, very hot car, tyres up 10 psi after first run. I had a couple of good sessions running with a Focus RS and a race Elise. The GT4 has good grunt and just leaves them on the straights, corners - they were braver/better than me through St Mary's. Touched 148mph before braking for Woodcote (needs a clean exit from Lavant) and braking from 110mph for Madgewick (ditto Chicane). Noise tested at 92db (at 5k rev limit) which is good as I can go on 98db days and not be limited to the more expensive 105db days the Club runs. I might try Thruxton which is 90db if I can test at 4k revs. Modified Register - Asst RS modified@porscheclubgb.com R15 Devon RSRTC #12 GT3 991.2 Gone: 718 GT4 981 3.8L Cayman S 997.2 Carrera GTS Quote Reply #113

Do you select 1st to invoke the 5k rev limiter? On my 981 Gt4 it revs to red line unless you have selected 1st (and prepped for 'launch'.

In neutral, floor the throttle, can't rev past 5k. Not front wheel lift, almost straight accelerating out of the chicane past the pit entrance.

At least that's one positive spin-off from GPF fitment, although it's going to be interesting to see what happens if owners fitting one of the number of aftermarket exhaust options now available will fall foul of the sound level meter if they take their cars on track.

Not an issue for me, I'll take the extra noise thanks! Quote Reply #117

There are now quite a number of after-market options available, and quite understandably in the rush to get to market I wonder if the suppliers have concentrated on sound quality rather than absolute levels? Any idea what Ninemeister are planning to do with your car in this respect? It could be a useful selling point if they can demonstrate that in addition to improving the sound quality, the system will be suitable for track use too.
