This is the flywheel used in the video. www.vividracing.com/my-deal/daYMTsCG Finally worked a deal with the manufacturer and I'm working with VividRacing so they are offering 5% off (with code "daYMTsCG")... not much, but better than nothing :) if you end up ordering one, would appreciate if you used the link. You'll save a little lunch money and some proceeds will help support the channel :) If this flywheel isn’t for your specific car lmk and I’ll send you a new link
i just love seeing car enthusiasts' enjoy their car how it was supposed to be driven and seeing it make them smile how i know it would make me smile when i get to own such a machine one day
Thank you. This is really what it’s all about…. I feel so lucky that this car exists and that it hasn’t hit the pricing stratosphere like the other GT models of its production year. Such good value in this thing. Thanks again for the comment. Trying to share my experience and keep the OG Porsche brand alive
I'm just a random internet stranger but HAD to comment on how fun this was to watch. I'm a new 911 owner and have watched every fucking video on CZcams for the last few years while searching but, Jesus, this has to be one of my favorites. Subbed and followed! What a cool car! Even cooler that you did the swap yourself.
This made my week. Thank you 🙏🏻 really trying to show the real side of these cars and not a passé review. People are missing the real truth
It's wild to me that you don't have more subscribers. Awesome, no bullshit videos and really infectious, palpable excitement from you about the mod in this one. I found myself laughing and wooping with you. What a car, thanks for sharing!
I was JUST about to comment on how good a pov would be with this car and then the camera switched 😂, excellent video. No bullshit just quality content with a quality car, thank you!
I have an entire POV run being uploaded. I was going to include more with this video but I didn’t want people to bring their pitchforks on a review video
@DasCayman totally understandable, this is the first video I've seen from your channel and I just saw your other uploads, love the content man
@@tadpatrick8523 appreciate you!
I giggled at least a dozen times at some of those reactions and blurbs - great stuff!
I truly had the best time filming this 😇
It's great seeing you grow your channel! A Cayman has been my dream car for as long as I can remember so it's cool getting to experience that through you. Great work!
Thank you! I’m kinda here just documenting me and helping others see what these cars are actually like to live with or enjoy
I put an 8lb flywheel in my old S2000 (16lb stock) and it was the single best mod I did.
🙌🏻🙌🏻 love the S2000. I can’t believe everyone hasn’t done this mod.
I love the content dude. Bring it! ❤ that smile when you first pushed it was gold. Drive it like you stole it 😝
Duuuude I need to get my hands on one of these bad boys soon. Really appreciate your no BS perspective on this thing and keep up the sick POVs.
Appreciate you!
I’ve got a LWFW on my 996 and has made it a huge amount more fun to drive. Rev matching, down shifting etc. lots of A holes on forums telling you not to do it…… 100% do it
Thanks for the feedback!! Yeah I hated how the forums had all this weird information. Wanted to get some video out there. Cheers!!
Ive had one of those aasco flywheels on my shelf for years for my 987.2S. Might just put it on now
Won’t regret it. I’m editing a video now on how to do it step by step
Loving the video buddy. You've started some debate back in the UK in our Spyder group about LWF's. Will now probably get this done in the new year as it looks the dogs based on your reaction. Thanks for posting and happy new year.
Oh curious what the debate is about?? And thanks. These are really special cars. Hope you all are enjoying over there. Cheers!
Whether or not the Spyder owners in the group have and would consider retro fitting a LWF to their cars. Not sure the 718 owners will due to warranty considerations. But i think a significant % of 981 and 987 owners might..i for one plan to do this 👌
@@villaman4818 yes. I got the one from RSS / AASCO. It says it’s meant for “street cars” I’ll be pairing the harmonically balanced crank pulley with it too once it comes back in stock

Ok this confirms my desire for a lightweight flywheel in my 987.2S BE. Great driving! These cars are an absolute blast on twisty backroads. Which headers do you have? It freaking rips.
Wow,
What an awesome sounding car.
The beautiful naturally aspirated flat 6 noise is a reminder as to how great cars used to sound.
I feel so lucky to not only own it, but to drive it on these roads properly as well. Car gets used!
@@DasCayman
I think that we need to cherish our ICE cars whilst the fuel and taxes on these cars is still affordable.
Here in the UK we are increasingly plagued with speed cameras and average speed cameras everywhere (even sometimes on country backroads) . To be able to truly enjoy the feeling of pushing the car on the public road is becoming a rarer experience.
Got a 987.2 Cayman S PDK and now I have a 6 speed Cayman R arriving soon with the LWB seats, looks like this flywheel mod is a must.
I’m so jealous of the cayman R. What a great car. Love those
Truly a mini CGT now! I always love those “mini” versions! Like the GT-R was called the mini Veyron for the way it drives. The current Jimney as it looks just like a mini G-Class, the Autozam AZ-1: mini Huayra for its mid-mounted engine and gull-wing door two seater layout.
I owned a 997.2 GT3 RS and LOVED the SIngle Mass Flyweel and how FAST the engined rev'd and have wondered about do this mod on my G1 Spyder. Thanks for doing this mod - you've got me inspired!
P.s. What LWFW product did you use?
I used an AASCO flywheel from RSS. When you were hammering the 997.2 3RS it was the jam. I was shocked at how fast the revs would drop when upshifting while casually driving around town though. Great car! Thanks for the feedback!
Yes - the RS was CRAZY good and I miss it at times. I felt liked I'd married some crazy girl and nulled the marriage after 12 months. Just way too crazy for the local scene, police etc... The G1 Spyder OTOH is better for local roads here and I think this mod, (with some SOUL headers, engine mounts?) will get me to 90% of the RS. @@DasCayman
Agree this gonna be epic mod.
@@mylifewithporsche I couldn’t agree more. People don’t understand that using a “real” GT or RS product over 8/10ths on the public roads gets INSANE. When driving the 3RS or 4RS the same way I do my spyder - using the car - I was going 140/150 mph everywhere. Wayyy too hot for the local scene. The most fun is from 40-120mph so I try to maximize the enjoyment in that section. Cheers boys!!!
I had a mechanic install a AASCO LWF in my 05 Boxster S 10 years ago. I gave it away to a friend when I bought a 981 Spyder. I loved to heel toe but the 981 has auto rev match and it does it 10 times better than me. The short shifter installed on the 987 comes standard on the Spyder. Both are lovely!
Exactly why I want to install the s/t flywheel on my touring. Your joy says it all.
It’s been my favorite mod to the car. Do you know if the touring has a dual mass from factory? Is it a 992 or 991.2?
@@DasCayman I can tell. Kudos for tackling yourself. Yes it has dual mass flywheel.
I never woulda thought this platform could be this fun. Very curious to test it one day :) the excitement definitely was comin on the video! I was watching with big smiles and my gf was like wtf is this guy watching😂
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it as much as I had fun making it. It’s the best road car I’ve ever driven for pure fun
Great video man! Have a 987 boxster S and would love to give this a try when it's time for a clutch change, your car sounds 10/10
I have the RS flywheel and a beefy clutch on my turbo. Wish I had honestly gone with a dual mass. Can be tricky modulating around town if you aren't on it. Looks perfect in this application though
What was the reason for the beefy clutch? Are you making 1.5x horsepower over stock?
@@DasCayman Yeah 800hp. And its my only car 😂. Can't lie when I'm on a backroad it is amazing. Which is mostly what I use it for just wish I could make it better in traffic
@@LT64444 800!?!?!?!??! Is your backroad the deserts of Utah 😵
@@DasCayman Haha. Angeles Crest Hwy is about the only place around me where I can open it up
Ahh I'm sticking one of these on my TT Cayman 👌 will post some videos @ 500bhp 😎
Damn dude, when you start pushing it I was smiling like the damn thing is mine and I'm driving 😁
It’s the most fun I’ve had behind a wheel… and I’ve near driven them all…
Some fine driving ! Awesome car !
It's so much fun, and thank you!
Loving your videos on this platform
Hey thanks a lot, really appreciate that
Why do you have it running while getting gas? Love the video btw
I don't like start / stopping a cold engine. I also only put like 1/4 tank in at a time so I'm not there long. And thanks! Had a lot of fun documenting.
The HP gain is proportional to the rate of RPM change. For example: winding out 2-3 is faster than 5-6. So get more from the 2-3.
Correct!
Great candid vid. Thanks for sharing.
Really glad you enjoyed it. I had the best time filming it and driving the car :)
Nice 👌🏾❤️👌🏾 I run the same lwfw on my 997S…. The one mod that made the biggest difference
I couldn’t agree more!
Sick car. Nice driving. Sounds 💯
Appreciate the compliment!
Congrats brother!
What you do for a living man ? Awesome contect. I have an A45 amg but daaamn this look more fun
I’m a systems engineer. And thank you! Little hobby of mine after work. Appreciate the feedback
Merry Christmas! Love the content
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too! Just trying to show people what it’s like to ‘actually’ drive these cars. We all know what it’s like to park them at cars and coffee. But you won’t find me there.
@@DasCayman definitely respect that! I couldn’t agree more.
Awesome. Thanks so much for this! 👌🏽
You got it 😎
Damn, dude, you’re living my dream!
Happy to be sharing it. That’s what’s inspired me over the last 10 year. Really good YT POV’s and content
😂 I see you are struggling to express yourself without dropping f bombs hahahaha. Did it to my 718 GT4…no need to complain about long gearing because the revs quick now!
I rewatched the video just now and was like... damn I really said "F*ck" a lot lol. But tbh, this was just my raw and honest reaction. I knew if I went to film it after testing it out then I wouldn't have been as vivid. Love this car. Enjoy your GT4!
does the rev match work great still? I've got a 981 GT4 and im thinking of the lightweight flywheel before spending the money on the guard gears.
@@_Suzuka_Joeyup autoblip still perfect. Highly recommend.
@@_Suzuka_Joe there is no rev match on 987’s. It’s all on the driver
I would also get the flywheel first before the gears. Why do you want new guard gears?@@_Suzuka_Joe
Well driven car sounds Devine
Thank you! It’s so much fun
Great job on the flywheel 👍. What a smile macine 👍😀 just the reactions, I get myself when driving 987 S fast on narrow roads 💪🤩🤩….but tell me…is that stock exhaust on the Spider? If not what is it? It sound stick, man. I want that too…!!
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for the comment! I'm glad I could share the experience and smiles with others. The exhaust isn't stock but I'll be going over it in an upcoming video. I got so many questions regarding it.
Hey! Wanted to follow up on this! czcams.com/video/RSX_KsU9y64/video.html
Best cayman on yt
EXCELLENT! Actually, the traffic just showed the drivability of the car. Love that damn Spyder.
Thank you!! I can even think of a more fun car to drive these back roads with. At no point do I wish it had 500HP and aero. The last thing I need is to go faster. I just want ti have FUN. Flywheel has been a blessing with zero issues. Cheers bro!
Great vid, great car and you can ger 95% there with a std Boxster S 987.2. Do you have separate video of your chassie upgrades??
Yes I’ll be going over everything
Convinced me , great video
I couldn’t be happier.
My god! This is nice!
It’s so good. The 987 Spyder with these mods punches up there with the 3RS for fun factor
@@DasCayman it definitely sounds like it! 👍🏼
beautiful car!
where did you start with aggressive driving and car control. what car what location(s) etc. love the video
Hey thanks! Self taught. I've been to maybe one track day... was at the Nurburgring last year in a 4RS. First time there and it all was pretty easy not going to lie... Really fun track. Thanks for the support!
Awesome
How much does such number plate cost in the states? In Dubai it would be priceless
19:13 make sure you watch this downshift set of 4 🔥🔥
These look so well balanced or at least you make it look easy to steer. Do the spyders come factory LSD or is it aftermarket/ optioned?
Thanks! They come from the factory with an LSD, since it's a rear mid-engine, the car is predicable and easy to catch oversteer. Holding a sustained drift is something I don't really do though, that's a lot easier with front engine, long wheelbase, and RWD.
Such a nice Car and i get it the Spyder is a special limited car and it is all about the experience. Is there a mechanical difference to a Cayman S 987.2 with a manual and a factory LSD? Would there be a big experience difference. Here in Austria they are also 100k but a 987.2 Manual are only 45 - 50k.
Do you think you can get a 90% Experience Feeling of your Spyder with the discribed Cayman for cheaper? (Except the Cup Suspension Components) Or is it mechanicaly near but feelingwise not there?
It looks like a lot of fun.
I drive a 987.2 Cayman 2.9L in Japan.
I came across this video when I was looking up the original weight for flywheel replacement.
What manufacturer is the lightweight flywheel you installed?
I watched the video using automatic subtitles, but I may not have been able to see all the information.
I had an AASCO LWF installed on my 987 S, it needs a special friction plate.
The stock one didn’t work.
Finally worked a deal with the manufacturer. This is the flywheel used in the video. I'm working with VividRacing and they are offering 5% off... not much, but better than nothing :) www.vividracing.com/my-deal/daYMTsCG if you end up ordering one, would appreciate if you used the link. You'll save a little lunch money and some proceeds will help support the channel :)
Favoloso! 🤌🤌🤌
Ever take it to the track? Would you need a roll bar if you did?
Went to the track once. Was fun but easy. Didn’t need a roll bar
My 2006 Boxster S will be getting this mod. Only question now is which clutch to replace the stock one with.
1-2 shift times I want the revs to drop much faster than now.
For how light these cars are and their intended purpose the flywheel is so much heavier than necessary
I totally agree. I'm running stock clutch and it's fine.
Great upgrade! What flywheel did you buy? Stock clutch, right? Exhaust brand? Thks
Shoot me a DM on IG. I don't like to advertise for free for the manufacturers. Happy to share.

excellent video! What pedals are those?
They are the Rennline pedals
What a car. What do you think of the 981 boxter Spyder compared to the 987? Do you prefer the 987 and if so why? Thanks.
The 981 Spyder with carbon bucket seats and PCCB's offers a great one-porsche solution for your collection / fleet. You get all the modern amenities such as the display screens and telemetries and modern interior. It weighs a bit more than the 987 but the 987 is more raw and back to basics and a more pure driving experience. With all that being said, if I could only have one Porsche in my garage I'd do the 981, but if I could have several (like I do) I'd get the 987. Does that help?
@@DasCayman That does help, thanks. On the topic of pure driving experience, what do you think of the lotus exige? Particularly the 410 and 430 models. I think that those cars are really up your alley.
Merry Christmas! The pure joy in your voice on that first rip is just 🤌
Thanks Ian, it was probably one of my top 5 motoring moment joys I’ve had in my life driving this car for the first time with this flywheel. It really took the responsiveness of the car up a few notches. And although it’s not a true GT car from the factory…. If you handed me the car today as-is, then you could have fooled me. Especially for a 2011.
OH YAAASSS very nice.
I haven't looked so, anyone done this to a 986 BOXSTER?
Same result, lmk if you need a product rec
Smile mobile!
I couldn't love it more
Can you get shorter gearing on a Cayman? Stock is just too long on daily use near town.
czcams.com/video/VMmyoTmS8r8/video.html
So this is how Porsche kept the boxster line from eclipsing the 911
The Boxster was always more fun to drive on backroads 🫡
The 911 is a near perfect daily tho
does changing the flywheel effect the realibilty or increase any wear and tear of the engine? Does the increased rev speed damage any of the parts?
Nope. Some argue you should add a harmonically balanced crank pulley, but all the race shops I’ve called said you don’t need to upgrade the crank pulley. This is because Porsche is one of the only manufacturers that balances the engine from the factory and doesn’t rely on pulleys or flywheels to absorb resonant frequencies
@@DasCayman ahhhh makes so much sense. Can you do a video where you walk through all your modifications and what difference they make?
You cannot 'balance' the vibration coming from individual cylinder firing 'from the factory' 😅. That is why there are dual mass flywheels and special crank pulleys. With DMF you might damage gearbox if it gets too much firing vibration from the engine. If the gearbox does not make noise at idle then it might be fine. My experience is from VW diesels.
@@user-rl3ef4ju9k Thanks for the feedback. My research showed that any inherent harmonic vibrations from the engine were absorbed and balanced out with the harmonic crank pulley. Tuned mass damper system.
I am immediately ordering one for my ‘R’! So need for the sprung clutch then - no intrusive NVH to note?
Tbh I've had no issue with mine... this is what it sounds like from the outside.. czcams.com/users/shortseqbRbWb4Pvc

What other mods do you have? Suspension and headers? Any shortened ratios?
Stock transmission. The 987's received the shortest ratios vs 981 vs 718. Car has a cup suspension on it. Front and rear LCA's, toe links, drop links, Bilstein PSS10's, sway bars with front end grip bias, thrust arms. Cup2's. Catless headers with stock PSE.
@@DasCayman wonderful! Yea I’ve driven the 987 Spyder a decent amount and still felt the gearing was a tad too long, but with your lwfw I bet it’s less noticeable? How’s the cup car suspension on every day roads?
What car have you driven with good gear ratios because this whole 987 / 981 / 718 long gear ratio thing is so overplayed and a non-issue. I've driven all those cars at the limit and not once did I say to myself "damn these gears are too long." I was rowing through 2-3-4 all the time on backroads in each car.@@lukeydukeyz
The suspension is harsh over train tracks and rough roads, but you can dial that out in the dampers if you want. It is stiffer / more harsh than the GT4RS in its current setup
@@DasCaymanso I have a 981 Spyder myself and felt the gearing was too long (longer than the 987 Spyder). The cars I’ve driven the most that I consider to have short gearing that’s fun are the NC and ND Miata. I found myself shifting gears a lot more often in Miatas esp between 2/3/4. The cars I’ve owned that are geared long are mostly Porsches and the Shelby GT350.
Dumb question, can you do this to a PDK? Makes me want to trade for a manual.
Unfortunately no that would not work. The manual is wayyyy better than the PDK for this car. If you live in manhattan then I wouldn't sweat it.
@@DasCaymanPDK has flywheel same way as manual so why not? You throw answers a bit lightly sometimes.
@@user-rl3ef4ju9k Thanks for the feedback. Do you have the part number available for a lightweight flywheel for the PDK from AASCO? It will be nice to have that knowledge :)
If no company is not making currently someone will do when they got stock part as ref.
@@user-rl3ef4ju9k The PDK transmission has been around since 2009, ~15 years. If no one has made one yet then I'm not sure it will be available.
