2009 Cayman started life as a 2.9L EFI car that was converted at 85K by BGB to a 3.8L DFI. With the 3.8L, and other mods listed below, the car performs exceptionally well. John and the guys at BGB did a great job setting up the car, its fast, stops good, and handles very well. The additional 3rd radiator keeps the 3.8L cool. Reason for selling is at the bottom.

The car already had upgraded:

- Front and rear sway bars from H&R
- 2 piece front GT3 control arms
- harness bar
- Given that it's a 2.9L 987.2, it also has a shorter 1-2-3 gear setup similar to what a lot of GT4 owners would want.


Exterior 6-7/10 (Car has 85K miles, and was tracked a few times over those miles. Has not been tracked with new engine):

- Overall paint looks good
- Front bumper appears to have been touched up, but still has visible rock chips, and a small chip down by the drivers side wheel
- Hood has rock chips, and appears to have not been touched up
- Rear bumper looks good, but has a few scratches
- Small ding just behind drivers door





Interior 6-7/10:

- buttons on radio starting to get sticky, also radio turns on, but no sound. It appears the amp is blown. Car has Bose amp. I'm working on getting another one to replace it.
- Seats in good condition
- Harness bar required some trimming of plastic above seat belts
- carpet is in good condition
- Air conditioning and heat work great
- Car has heated seats

I purchased this car at 85K miles, it has a clean carfax, but had been taken to a few DE's by the previous owners

Reason for selling:

I have not been able to get the car to pass smog in California. As it had been flagged in the system as a 2.9L ULEV and the ref believes the new engine is not. And the ref believes the ECU is incorrect. The car has no CEL, and all the readiness monitors are good.

John has been of great help, and so has Vision Motorsports out of Orange County. Car is still at Vision Motorsports in Orange County.

My intention was to daily drive the car, and go to about 5 track days a year. Since I can't afford to have a dedicated track car, and I cant get this car registered in California, I've decided to sell. The car runs great, the work BGB did on the car really transformed it into a very capable and fast car that can be driven on the street.

Send me a PM or email if your interested in the car. n martin 58 at live.com

Also, John at BGB is available to answer questions.

Thanks
