The legend lives!!! Welcome back!!!

Some of you have seen my comments already regarding the crappy Porsche Cayman S, but for the others that have missed it, here is the story. I've noticed some smoke puffs when starting the car from cold and also the oil top up light came on one day. For the guys that don't know, the Cayman doesn't have a stick, it's all electronic, it tells you the level before you start the car. As I had warranty, I thought it's a good opportunity to take it to a specialist to inspect it. Took the car to RPM Tehnik and last Friday got this email back from them: Craig is a very nice guy and the garage is a dream place to be, all the nicest possible models of Porsche are there in they're show room, from classics to competition cars. As they were extremely busy, I took the car to http://www.911sbd.com as recommended by my friend Taras @ RT-Performance, where the car is at the moment. We've done another boroscope test and found out cylinder 5 and 6 scored, but other have started too, very light marks at the moment. In order for the warranty company to accept the claim, although we can clearly see the bore scoring in the photos and the reports from both garages, they've asked to have the engine cracked open so they can inspect what has caused it. Obviously, they're trying to delay or avoid payment. They've started on the engine today, removed it and hope to have it opened for inspection tomorrow. Below some photos I've taken today: What really impressed me today, in a bad way, it's the amount of rust on that engine!!! Shocking! I mean look at the fuel rails!!! I know UK is famous for humidity, but never seen so much rust and corrosion on a 9 years old car before! It's like it's been sitting in a lake for few years. Why is Porsche using so cheap materials I don't know, big disappointment for me. Meanwhile, the 370z is nearly ready to be fully resprayed and sold! Fitted the new steering wheel today with the red stitching, the interior looks awesome now! I'm off abroad for a few days, will update as soon as I hear from the Porsche guys.

OBD or pedal dance and video record the light flashing so we can see the code

G, I'm seriously considering a 2011 facelift version, the budget went up from 40k to 50k From your experience, would you say is not really a lot of difference between Stage 1 or 2 2010 and the 2011 model?

Needs to be disabled in UpRev, ask Chris if he did disable it.

He needs to get a 2nd job now...
