    Episode #60 Waffle | Fitting a GT4 RS intake to a 981, going viral(ish) and collars galore!

    What was it like to install the Gold Leaf Performance 4RS intake on a 981? I didn't have a great deal of choice last week. I wore the same scruffy garage clothes for days on end, bounced from day job to the Renngineering Cayman build, and back again. I set myself the target of collecting and fitting the beautifully designed and made GT4 RS style intake system on my car within a week. A lofty goal, particularly because I'm absolutely anal about getting things right. Close just ain't good enough. I didn't quite hit my one week goal but only by a day. Putting it simply - I couldn't be happier. I learned something in the process. All you need to do to have a successful reel is post up a short clip of a car revving to the redline. OK, I'm reasonably sure a Mitsubishi Galant 2.0 from 1994 wouldn't quite have got people excited but this certainly did. I've since put 250 miles on the car and it's perfect. Everything works just as it should. Sounds immense. Looks even better. I'm a particular fan of the spec I chose as well, Agate grey side window pods Matte carbon throughout Gold pinstripe on the engine cover In this episode I also pick up on the next few episodes being shot and some potentially gamechanging news for Renngineering, that could... could,, be the start of the shift towards it being a full time job.

    Episode #59 Your Porsche Stories | Bruce Floyd, Brumos and the 250'000 mile 911

    Your Porsche Stories is BACK! I love these episodes. They don't happen as frequently as I would like (massive hint there) so if you have a really cool Porsche or there's a great family story behind it, or perhaps the car itself has a really great backstory - I want to hear from you. Drop me a DM or email and we'll find some time. Every now and again, I'll take the lead and when I see something cool, will reach out to the owner and invite them on. That's what happened with Bruce. I genuinely didn't know about his Brumos and Hurley Haywood connections when I messaged him, nor did I realise how nice a guy he was. All just lucky surprises. So, if you want to hear about a 250'000 mile '87 911 then grab that coffee and have a listen on any podcast streaming service. I'll take a moment to thank you all for listening so far.

    Episode #58 Heritage | Richard Tuthill - HIS Porsche Origins Story

    Finally... FINALLY... The Tuthill Episode! We're back with a new season, and I wanted to kick this one off with a big bang. What's a bigger bang than a rally driving legend that is just crazy enough to build an 11000rpm aircooled 911, run an ice driving event and has time left over to build a modern take on the Porsche GT1, the Tuthill GT ONE. More than that though, the company itself carry out restoration builds, the SC RS, the 2.0 cup, and are again, just about mad enough to say yes to (almost) anything! We get in to Richard's early memories of rolling a VW Beetle in the fields behind where we were sat as we recorded the episode. We talked about him getting politely kicked out of school, all the way through to scaling up from a well respected brand within a small community to a globally renowned business with clients all around the world. It also, at times, felt and seemed like a job interview. I genuinely feel like it's one of the best podcast episodes that I've recorded to date. I hugely proud of the progress I've made as a podcaster over the past few years and I truly hope you enjoy listening as much as I have making it.

    Episode #57 Waffle | What on earth is going on at Porsche?! Mick joins for a classic, certified, waffle

    Explicit

    Mick jumps back on the good ship Renngineering. It's always fun us two getting together to rattle through what's going on in our lives but when Porsche release a do not drive statement just in time for a Waffle, it was always going to be good. We also gave our thoughts on the GT3 992.2 and the 911 Carrera T. A cabrio... really?! I hope you're all doing well. If you are get out and drive and if you can't do that, get planning a trip for when you can. Thanks for listening. I'll take a moment to thank you all for listening so far.

    Episode #56 Heritage | What to do when you don't want to build a Singer 911 but that's kind of what you're starting with!??

    Picture this... you've found a car that sounds like a scam, but it's a Singer style shell, sat at Tuthill Porsche. It's reasonable money but you're taking it on, basically on trust. You then don't want to build a Singer tribute and go about building something yourself. That's what Paul Leyton did with this 911! Some people have a natural way about them, that makes you feel that nothing is worth getting too upset about, and that it'll all work out. Well this episode gives you about ten of those examples. The output from all of that work is an absolutely stunning car. Genuinely one of the nicest "home builds" and I'm reluctant to use that term, that I've ever seen. It's also now for sale. As is one of my kidneys. We follow Paul from the early days of building VW Beetles, through a load of flips, to his one of ten 964 cab, his 993 build and this, his complete one off. You'd be forgiven for thinking that little trip is cool as it is, but you really do need to shoot over to YouTube to check the interior out. It's amazing. A big thanks to Paul for being a good friend and for spending time with me. An even bigger thanks for when we caught up once the new engine was in and being dialled in and chucking me the keys. Yes, you guessed it, that's on YouTube as well. You can find Paul at @dooley.vw on instagram. So if you listen, and then check out the pics on the Renngineering insta, or watch on YouTube and want to buy the car, shoot him a DM. Thanks for listening.
