HI, sorry been been doing any videos lately. I am looking to start up again soon with some drive by's etc. Sound videos are very difficult get over on camera, certainly from inside the car. I will try to get some drive by videos soon. Thanks for watching

Thank you

No mate, works exactly the same. I’ve just had a valve Co troller fitted too! Sounds like a race car!

@@antscars amazing. Flywheel looks like a must have mod.

@@SamiMatar it really is mate, the pick up is sooo much quicker

Thanks mate, think I have decided to do that! If black think you would lose the detail 👍🏻

I dont mind seeing the odd stone chip as I know the paint is not effected underneath. The thing I like most about the XPEL PPF is how you never see any swirl marks on the car as the sun get rid of any slight scratches and marks in the PPF. The car always looks super glossy. Each to their own though. Thanks for the comment

@@antscars swirl point i get. Always been a bit dubious of the self healing but swirl repair is a big plus. Gorgeous car, better sans stripe.

Yes it’s a full coverage. And I always sway backwards and forwards on the wheels/calliper/car combination. Some like it some don’t, each to their own really 👍🏻

They do a re map so just switching off the OPF alarm

It's an auto meet - trucks, cars of every variety.

No problem and thanks for the comment. And a perfect description of the car! 😬

I am going to try and capture the sound somehow on my next drive out. The sound is mega once the valves are open, and the flywheel makes a huge difference regards pick up. It you go to the company where I got mine from you will get some discount if you mention me and my channel. 👍🏻 where are you based?

I know I was cringing 😬

Luckily its only a £200 part

@@AdithyaReddyify yes

Thanks Peter # going for a nice drive tomorrow to give it a good run out 👍🏻

Hey. I’m curious how they remapped the opf? Could they block the signal or did you do a full tune?

@@christianhallden3190 hi mate, it was a re-map switching off just that one signal, everything else works as normal, also a slight tune, up around 20bhp.

Yes mate, everything you get the GTS you can get in the GT4 as long as it’s the newer model, the 718 or 982. The older GT4 doesn’t have apple car play and the HMI is a bit slower than the most up to date version. The newer GT4 has all the things you would want and need for daily driving 👍🏻

@@antscars Thank you for the prompt response and valuable information! Yes, I'm looking at the 2023 718 Cayman GTS and 2023 718 Cayman GT4 for daily driving, so I wouldn't want a car that was TOO bare bones without a good stereo or phone connection.

@@69FOSTER no worries and yes it makes sense totally. You can’t go wrong with either! Amazing cars

@@69FOSTER If you're considering getting a new one you need to act immediately. All the rumors have the order book closing very soon if not already. My GT4 just finished building and is at the port waiting to get on a ship. It was a six or so month wait to get to this point. Best of luck with whatever you choose to do

Thanks mate, and congrats on the car, you will be very happy with the manual for sure!

Thank you

Thanks for the feedback, I am working on my sound to be improved 👍🏻

Thanks mate, yes I have PCCBs on my car, was actually thinking about doing another video on the spec, what you think? PCCBs are great but I had steels on my 981 GT4 and they are more than good enough 👍🏻

They just create very little to no brake dust which I love

@@antscars yes I’ve heard this, also they are lighter, have less unsprung weight and look fantastic. Expensive but I think they’re worth it. Thanks for your input matey. Yes would like to see more reviews if you can. Cheers 👍

Thanks again! Yes it is very true, YOLO so do what makes you happy 👍🏻

Hanks mate, what you drive? I will be there again when the weather picks up

Yes I agree, it’s a real shame it doesn’t have a lift, I g do one myself having to carefully choose my driving locations or route to ensure there are no steep gradient to flat sections. Most speed bumps are not too bad tbh. Fair point though so thanks for the comment 👍🏻

Thanks 🙏🏻

Penso che siete fortunati ! Qui in Italia L ho fatta fare la ppf ma poi ho dovuto finirmela io , i cerchi gold sono perfetti anche sul rosso , la mia è gentian blue con cerchi gold 👍👍👍👍

@@davidebonati4582 grazie per il tuo commento

You have a fair point sir 👍🏻

I've got my eye on a Cayman GTS 4.0 with a PDK that will be arriving at a local dealer. I currently have a manual Carrera 996. My question, will a PDK transmission detract from the fun of the car with a manual or will the GTS be enjoyable with a PDK?

@@69FOSTER I think you will love the PDK tbh. I have driven a 4.0 GTS PDK and I loved it. It’s the mid engine position that makes the car special as you will know. 👍🏻 have fun in it and thanks for the comment

@@antscars Thank you for such a prompt response! I forgot to mention, I live in Los Angeles, where having a manual is great on the open road, but can be a pain in heavy stop-and-go traffic. Sounds like the PDK can provide the best of both worlds.

@@69FOSTER no problem and I think it absolutely will be best of both worlds given you will be in lots of traffic. The thing I like about the PDK is if you switch to manual and use the PDK lever as a sequential gear lever I believe it’s just as good as driving a manual 👍🏻

Yes it is 👍🏻

Hey, thanks for the comment, appreciate it, and glad to hear you are enjoying the car, sounds like you have a lovely spec. Was thinking of doing a spec reveal for my next video actually.

Yes I do agree with you regards the sound, and to change it of course you have a pretty hefty expense for an exhaust which of course you could do without spending. I just like the daily usability over the 981. Thanks for the comment

@@antscars a few people have said it’s a much better daily but I agree, softer clutch and smoother ride all round 👌🏻 that 4L could sound unreal though 😍

@@willwall9841 for sure mate. I actually think you get better engine noise/feedback from the PDK version

The JCR exhaust sounds mega but it’s obviously extra money and you have to consider how it affects warranty etc which is a shame. I’ve heard just removing the OPF filters also makes a big difference.

Hey thanks for the comment, and yes I think you’re right 👍🏻 hope you enjoyed the trip

@@antscars yeah was epic mate, both the Porsche museum and Mercedes’ museum in stuttgart are fantastic.

@@bootneck401664 sounds awesome mate. I need a road trip 👍🏻

Thanks for the comment. Sounds like you could be leaning towards the manual. I think given what you will be using the car for it could be a good option. The thing is with these cars either the manual or PDK is an awesome choice. They are just amazing cars in general. Thanks for the comment again. More videos coming soon 👍🏻

Thanks for the feedback Jon. Really appreciated

Thanks for the comment Jeff, you have an awesome car, i drove the PDK before i got the GT4 and its very engaging like you say. Enjoy your car and thanks for watching the video.👍

@@kerunbindra4053 Hi, i actually did consider an F type R yes. I do like those very much and who knows it could be a car for the future. I just have a love for the Porsche brand. Do you prefer the F type over the Caymans?

@@kerunbindra4053 I didn’t. I was looking at a 991.2 C2 or the 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 It was always going to be a Porsche as far as I was concerned. I drove both and surprised myself by falling in love with the GTS 4.0. It felt much more balanced and exciting to me.

You mean Europe? US cars can get OAP’s no issue

Hello and thanks for the comment and questions. In the boxster I would go for the comfort seats for sure. I think in the GT4 there is a perception that as its a more focussed track car, the buckets are best from a re-sale POV. And i maybe do agree with that. But yes yes the boxster i would 100% go comfort seats. I think with the std ride height of the GTS you would be fine @ -20mm. I just about get away with the GT4 ride height in the UK with speed humps, but not always, and it is annoying I have to watch which roads I go down from time to time. But you should be fine with the -20mm. That will be an awesome car. Good luck and enjoy.

The ONLY reasons to get the buckets is for custom inserts and/or harnesses. They will HURT resale badly in the future. That being said, Andreas Preuninger says the most important option to tick is the sport buckets for the feedback through your rear end. The heated seats in the Spyder might add a month or two of driving season depending on where you live. If you're actually tracking your GT4 and going to use a harness you know what to do, otherwise you'll have SERIOUS regrets.

18 way chairs on EVERY day of the week!! They are awesome. There's loads of adjustment...obviously!! Forget the added weight argument,its all bollocks!! People just want the carbon option because of what others have said,quite often with zero experience..!! Nice review. I've had my 718GT4 about two months and love it!!

@@andrewpiper2880 thanks for the feedback 👍🏻

Yes maybe you are right, still enjoy the GT4 though. Feels pretty special. TBH I find the fuel consumption ok, motorway driving but not being too conservative I am getting just over 30mpg, and when i am pushing it hard on some nice roads (or hard for me) low 20's. But i still think it's ok to be fair. Had the 981 before this and i think it is pretty similar. 👍

@@antscars thx for sharing the fuel consumption these are indeed good values only downside here in Belgium are the very high taxes on a 4.0 ….🙁

@@cayman9815 Yes taxes can be a pain. I don't like taxes. Again thanks for the questions and for watching my video.

@@antscars reading you had 981 also is it worth all the extra money for a GT4 or GTS ? as I am considering….

@@cayman9815 I think it all depends on what your main goal with the car is. If you plan to take it on track most of the time then GT4 is the one to go with. And I believe they look slightly better with the slightly different body work/ shell construction. But the GTS 4.0 is a superb car! I drove the GTS 4.0 PDK just before getting the GT4 and it 95% of what you get in the GT4 but better comfort for the longer road trips. I just felt as I had the 981 GT4 I wanted to get into the 718 GT4 for a bit. You certainly wouldn't feel short changed in the GTS.

Hi and thanks for the comment, appreciate it. I tend to agree with you tbh. I love the GT4 but it can be a pain regards low ride height at the font end. 718 GTS 4.0 is a great car, you get 95% of the GT4 but in a more usable package. I may even consider swapping to one of those in the future. Thanks 👍

I have a 2022 GTS 4.0 and love it. You will too. Cheers

@@JeffJacquesmd I have never been one to be attached to a brand but Porsche has got me! I love my 981 so already know I’ll love the 4.0 GTS. Enjoy your car.

@@wheelsandwatches thank you brother! Don’t give up the 981 until you have the 718 locked in!

talk about hooked went to porsche dealership i havent been the same since think the cayman is to blame!!

Thanks Roger

Thanks. They were already on the car when I bought it so I couldn’t tell you I’m afraid. It’s a 2019 car.

They are from the porsche configurator

@@juliuskona3299 are they? Thanks for that. I didn’t spec the car so I was unsure

@@antscars yes they are, you can also choose the colour you want them to be or to completely remove all insignia including the name of the model behind.

@@juliuskona3299 thanks for the heads up. Hopefully one day I might get a chance to spec one 👍🏻

Sounds nice hey Aaron?

Hi mate, I arrived around 11:00 or maybe just after, people were leaving as I got there and it was a little quite. What car were you in?

I wasnt showing pal i just went to have a look. Im poor i only have a focus mk2 with sound system and lights haha

@@krisstewart238 haha nice one mate. Thanks for commenting on my video though mate. Nice to get some feedback and at least I know it can be seen 👍🏻

Hey mate! Crap video though hey? Haha! Onwards and upwards. It’s 1 of 4 in this colour I believe mate, apparently 6 in the world, so 2 in the US!

@@antscars Don't be so hard on yourself. I got a comment saying my latest video upload was "crap and utterly boring" only a few days ago, and I've been doing this longer than you. Rule 1 of social media... there is always some armchair warrior who thinks your video is crap, they could have done better with their eyes closed, and you're completely wasting their time. To those I say, "no one is forcing you to watch my content, why don't you do something more interesting instead". Takes a while to get used to the comments section... I take it as a badge of honour. When you get to the stage people are insulting your videos, it means you're finally getting your videos pushed out by the KZbin algorithm!! hahahahaha!! Best of luck mate.

@@MAXREVS thanks mate for the words of encouragement

@@antscars As long as you enjoy what you're doing, and you're not harming anyone in the process, no one can take that away from you...

@@MAXREVS true! I will keep going! Steady as I go! See if I can make small improvements
