We (us Brit's) went through 'Metrication' in the 70s but there are some exceptions.
We do not use KM for road distance and still use pints for (indeed our Gallons are real Gallons not your US ones)
But the metric ones that we do use include mm, NM, Degrees Centigrade (you guys should really use this, water freezes at zero and boils at 100 much easier)
I assume your Hex driver was indeed metric and you weren't trying to adapt a US 'Imperial' AF one?
Totally Agree.........
A Pint of beer is the 20 fluid ounces - that real men drink, real beer, that is not the equivalent of rainwater........ Bud, Coors - Light whatever...........
(The Pints I found in the US were 16 Ounces) - what wimp drinks pi$$water Beer, in small measures?
As a result our Gallons are the correct size too......... (Not little puny little things)
However, in deference to our continental cousins (who drink even stronger Beer) we use MilliMetres as our measurement............ Particularly on Porsches - Sort of a compromise?
Great car! I just put a downpayment on an '08 standard Cayman in Ruby Red (I couldn't take my eyes off it) with PASM, 18" Cayman S wheels, Bose, and some assorted other goodies. Where does one find those Rhino ramps, and what oil is recommended? I've been using Red Line in my bimmer, but their lowest viscosity is 5, as in 5-30 and 5-40. My concern about oil is related to the fact that, while I am a believer in Red Line, it's not on Porsche's approved list--possible warranty issues?

PASM - Porsche Active Suspension Management
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.

Ruby Red Metallic
Ruby Red Metallic is a new metallic offered for the Cayman in 2008. To view our Gallery of Ruby Red Cayman pics Click this Link.
Rhino ramps from Amazon, free shipping to your door. Oil is Mobil 1 0W-40, may be tough to find, but it does exist! I got it from the local R&S Strauss.
Wow, you found a PASM car on the lot? I had to order mine, no PASM to be found anywhere.

No--there was not one PASM in the entire country. I had to order one. Got a June production date, delivery in August (if I last that long). Thanks for the tip on the ramps. Do folks have a preference for a particular brand of gas? I am currently running Sunoco 93. The price recently inched up to within a dime of $4 bucks per.
