I’ve been waiting to do the obligatory first post until I had some pics. I needed a warm day to get the car clean. Today was the day. Cleaned and sealed with Zaino. I picked it up a few weeks ago. It’s a 2006 Seal Grey Cayman S. Important options: Sport Chrono, PASM, Sport Shifter, Sport Steering Wheel. I will be tracking it frequently. I did the BBI underdrive pulley with the help of a friend Dan (STLPCA). On the short list for upcoming mods is an exhaust. I’m also really curious about the Softronic software/plenum mod, when it comes out. This car is replacing a 2002 C4S.
This active damping system offers continuous adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style.
The driver can choose from two setup modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’, using a separate ‘damper’ button on the center console. ‘Normal’ mode is designed for general road driving and circuits with uneven tarmac. ‘Sport’ mode is intended for smoother track surfaces, where the harder settings help eliminate pitch and roll.
In either mode, PASM continuously evaluates the current conditions while automatically selecting the corresponding damper rates from the respective set of mapped values.
A range of sensors are used to monitor the movement of the body under acceleration, braking and cornering maneuvers, as well as on poor road surfaces. The PASM control unit then evaluates this data and modifies the damping force on each individual wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is a significant reduction in body movement as well as a better grip on the road.
For example: if ‘Sport’ mode is selected, the suspension is automatically set to a harder damper rating. If the quality of the track surface falls below a certain threshold, the system immediately changes to a softer rating within the ‘Sport’ setup range. When the quality of the tarmac improves once more, PASM automatically returns to the original, harder rating.

Sport Chrono and Chrono Plus
This optional package is a valuable addition for trackday use. Available in conjunction with the CDR-24 CD radio, it includes a swivel-mounted analog and digital timer unit which is centrally located on the dashboard. All functions are easily accessible via the control stalk for the on-board computer. Analog dials measure hours, minutes and seconds, while a separate digital field displays whole seconds, tenths and one hundredths of a second. A second digital display runs in parallel in the instrument cluster. Click this Link to visit the FAQ entry for Sport Chrono.
Plenum
The plenum is the piece that goes between the Cayman throttle body and the intake runners. The factory piece is a long black plastic tube with a divider down the middle. There are aftermarket replacements which are designed to allow the air to flow easier/faster into the engine and increase horsepower and torque.
Softronic
SOFTRONIC produces DME programming and hardware to suit your companies specifications. Our current software suite is a complex matched set of programs housed in a Flash Manager and Flash Client. This software is matched with two cables, an End User and Master Cable. The SOFTRONIC proprietary flashing solution outperforms all other combinations in speed and accuracy including the factory Porsche equipment.

MikeR,
you left off the best looking option, those Carrera Sport Wheels, congrats!
she's a keeper

Thanks! I do like the look of the wheels. The color works well with Seal Grey. There is only one problem. Pilot Sport Cups don't come in the stock rear size for these 19's.

Well another one in StL! Hey, sounds like StL PCA will be Cayman friendly Where did you find yours? Was that the one from Springfield?
I need to get my underdrive mod before my first track day. Is there someone you can recommend in the area, for pay of course? Reid Vann? I don't trust myself when it comes to anything engine related.
PCA - Porsche Club Of America

CaymanClub.Net members who are also PCA members should request access to the PCA Member only forum by filling in their PCA Member ID# into their profile and then requesting a group membership addition, both of which can be done in the User Control Panel (User CP)

It's an easy and fun DIY with the right tools. I'm happy to help you (gratis of course). I've now done 4 bbi UDP installs. I'll also volunteer Mike and his reciprocating cordless saw. Drop me a PM with your contact info and we can set something up.
I'd be happy to help or at least loan my saw. It's a weird feeling taking a reciprocating saw to your Porsche engine right after you bought it. The install is no big deal, especially with STLPCA's help.
Mine came from a dealer in Chicago. None of the ones from Springfield that I saw came with Sport Chrono and PASM. Both were requirements for me.
