SharkWerks Project Cayman S

Ok guys so here's the first thing we did, which is go with the Brembo F50 brake kit for the fronts (there isn't really anything out for the rears but it's not really needed anyway). We're going to be testing these out at Thunderhill and Reno Fernely shortly. We had these on our 996 track car as have the more track-orientated 996 customers. There's a good amount of pad choices for these. These aren't really a street (or bling) kit and as you can see it uses two-piece light weight slotted rotors (for better cooling properties). The four piston calipers are from the F40/50 and also weigh less than stock so a bit of weight savings here...



Back to bling now, we went with the tech art front lip (blacked out the fog lights) and tech art side skirts. As you'd expect from those guys, it just plain fits (no issues).



We're also trying out a new exhaust alternative (one that's a bit deeped/louder than the milltek) so more on this later. And yes I promise I'll post a video of the car revving with that light weight flywheel (honestly my favorite mod to these cars to date).

Wow, blacking out the fog lights makes a big difference! It looks so much better - more clean.

It's an aasco flywheel that we put together as a kit... It was 14 pounds vs 28 for the dual mass.

Hi Eddy, if you're refering to the transmission noise once the car is warmed up and with the clutch pedal depressed at idle or at a stop light then actually no! The 996s is notorious for that, the 997S has a little of that, the RS does too but with the way the tranny is mounted and the fact that it's an Audi one it doesn't seem to. We've not noticed any significant noise yet with a bunch of track days and miles on her.

Thanks for the kind words, drop me an Email since there's a few different options on this set up that determins the price etc..

As for the exhaust, you need to watch out since most of them drone on the cayman. The milltek doesn't and I'm testing another one right now

White is tight Looks great. Exactly the way I would do one up (with some BBS LM's for street duty though )

NICE! And..if you guys plan to sell it a low price, let me know. :P I'm still looking for a 2002-2004 WHITE C2, but looking at this cayman makes me want rethink caymans. The blacked out fog lights really make a big difference. I never liked the body colored foglight area.

Another beauty form the Sharkster...

Keep up the great work.

Would the old brakes be an "upgrade" for a stock Boxster? If yes, do you want to sell them?
