They are here now!

Moton Club sports  built to Cayman Interseries/Grand Am dimensions  with AST front camber plates and rear spherical mounts, thanks to AST/Moton and Vorshlag for putting together this nice track oriented combination.  I stalled too long on spring rate selection, so they will come next week.

Otto's first stickers at the Texas Tour

It was a pretty fun weekend at the A&M Tour, after a solid thrash leading up to it to get  the headers, camber plates and sway bars installed.  Because I was not sure of tire clearance,  pressure, alignment, or wear pattern, we mounted some 2 year old A6's 285's from Su's  B stock Cayman for Saturday's runs.  

First runs were entertaining, the car had good turn in, but lots of easy power oversteer. The engine, trans, and Guard TBD diff felt great,, and what thrilling exhaust note.  Sound meter found it 1-2db too thrilling.  The handling  was a bit loose, which limited how aggressive you could be, and got worse with each run.  By the end we saw all of the inner tread bars gone on the rear tires, they were toast.  Time to mount up the new 285/315's for Sunday (our backup plan).  Handily, Turbo Todd had arranged for Goodyear tire truck support, so it was all done on site :)  

Sunday runs were a little more tame with the fresh tires, and larger 315 rears.  The car was still a bit loose, but that seemed a common theme for others on this grippy concrete surface.  Now it could pull some real Gs ... and it looks like I need more rear camber!  Times were markedly better Sunday, and we closed the gap on the leading Evo. I played with the 'sport' mode button, which modifies the throttle response in our current flash, and found I could modulate better in normal mode. It seems to only affect the first 50% of throttle travel anyway.   We can't wait to get the motons and some stiff springs on the car!

Front suspension test

After wrestling with the gt3 sway bar install over the weekend, I finally mocked up the front suspension with camber plates for tire clearance. The pasm struts add some challenges because of the wire out the top, luckily my old modified valve spring compressor socket was the right size for the top nut.

I got the camber plates used, and they came with cut down washers to allow for maximum clearance.
The tire tucked beautifully under the fender. Wheels are 18x10 with the equivalent of 45mm offset.

Ouch don't hurt me!

Just a little tough on the nerves pushing the fender roller around on a new (to me) vehicle.   Porsche seems to have great resilient paint though, I used a fair bit of heat and had no issues.  This is the first pass through, a light roll mostly in the rear, the fronts had very good clearance and a thin lip right from the factory.

More parts coming in

Fabspeed Headers arrived, they will go on this weekend. With the gt3 sway bars.
