The Cayman is moving from 312 mm discs to 370 mm discs with bells and rotors.
1. Lemonade Lifestyle Automotive Podcast Episode 97 centers on John's Cayman brake upgrade and the show's Patreon pitch.
2. John, Niall, and Adam "Bulge" are the main voices, with John describing the engineering work and Niall pushing the conversation forward.
3. The episode asks what a 3D-printed brake prototype can prove before money is spent on custom discs and calipers.
4. The opening segment sells Patreon access, the back catalogue, Discord, merch, and meetups for "as little as three" pounds a month.
5. The hosts tie that membership to motorsport talk, bowling plans, and a lorry-driver chat that runs inside Discord.
6. John explains that he has 3D-printed prototype parts for bolting a Maserati caliper onto a Cayman hub.
7. He says the new brake disc drawing changes the offset by moving the disc 1 mm toward the strut and the caliper 3 mm away from the hub.
8. He wants the prototype to confirm both caliper alignment and clearance under 18-inch wheels.
9. John describes the 3D printer as good enough to print an M12 by 1.5 thread in the caliper carrier.
10. He says the tap cleaned out the printed hole instead of failing, which made the process feel closer to machining than expected.
11. He explains SolidWorks by comparing a revolved brake disc model to a section drawing turned around a center line.
12. He also says the brake disc print was a skeleton outline so it would not waste a full roll of filament.
13. John says the printed disc took about three and a half hours on a high-quality setting.
14. The new brake plan uses 370 mm discs on the Cayman, compared with the standard 312 mm setup.
15. He says the rear disc target is around 320 mm and that the front setup may still need to be adjusted if 370 mm does not fit.
16. John frames the whole project as a fix for brake fade, judder, and confidence loss after short track sessions.
17. The tone is technical, jokey, and conversational, with swearing and side comments running through the engineering detail.
18. The format mixes workshop talk, community promotion, and digressive chat about track days, 3D printing, and other cars.
19. Listeners who like car-modification detail, track-day prep, and workshop problem-solving will get the most from it.
20. Listeners wanting a tightly edited show or no Patreon discussion may skip it.
