981 Cayman S - Seat Swap and LCA mods?
Hi folks - getting psyched for the new DE season. Working two issues on the Toy.
After enjoying the race seats last year, I swapped the stock seats back in for the winter (love heated seats) and to get the car VA inspection. But the airbag warning light stayed on, and not sure it will pass inspection like that - anyone know if there's an easy fix? Hopefully just a reset? Second topic - planning on going to GT3 Lower Control Arms for more front camber. Tore up the outsides of the fronts (RE-71s) last season. Any recommendations for camber set up? Thinking neg 2-2.5 should be a place to start. Also debating R888 for this season... Cheers Ed '14 CS #37 White '05 Boxster S (died and resurrected!) '87 944 '68 MGB |

I do the same seat swap with my Cayman S. The diametric cable/software can turn off the light. It's a 5 minute thing. I have a pro version (allows for unlimited cars) and could reset it for you. But maybe there's somebody closer to you. I'm up in Ellicott City.

Hi Ed,
Durimetric cable and software is the way I do the annual reset. You also need a windows laptop. I’m also not too close, but there are probably some other dorkies over your way that may help. Have you tried NT-01s? I really like them.

Much appreciated

Thought a reset was probably easy - thanks for the info. I don't have a PC laptop except for work, and they won't let us install anything on it, so I haven't splurged on the Durimetric yet. I'll see if someone close can help. We're in No Arlington. Cheers |

Rear: -2 (without split LCAs) ^ worked well for me this past season. Not sure how much street driving you do, but if you do a lot of it, maybe start with -2 and monitor tire wear from DE events. Also +1 on NT-01s. Awesome tires and they lasted me the entire season (20 days).

Thanks!
Thanks - I appreciate the advice. I don't do a lot of street driving (sunny days to work and the occasional blast down my favorite twisty neighborhood 'track' - basically enough to keep the oil circulating and the battery fresh. So I'll probably get pretty aggressive with the camber. And I'll definitely look at the NT01s.
Just watched video of PittRace, and am stoked to learn a new track and get back to going fast! EdW Quote:

+1 on the NT-01's, seem to last forever. Just really loud on the street.

Mark,
Thanks much, but it looks like a Dorki from the neighborhood can help. I'll give you a shout if it doesn't pan out. Ed |

iCarSoft worked on airbag warning light
For the record, a friendly neighborhood Dorki offered to try to kill the airbag light with his iCarSoft and it worked great.
Job done. Quote:
