Renngineering

Episode #64 Waffle | The BIG catch up! Mag features, shows, brand collabs and new projects underway!

The BIG catch up!It's been a while... I know I know... the introduction says your weekly dose of Porsche culture and it's been anything other than weekly this year. There is a reason for all that though and this episode does a round up but also gives a proper explanation as to why that is. Despite being quiet on socials and almost as quiet on here and YouTube, it's been for a reason... Renngineering wasn't designed to just be a podcast or YouTube channel. It's always been about building the RENN550. At some point I had to sit down and figure out how to make that happen. Putting my heart and soul in to episodes was working to an extent but from a business perspective, unless you're Mat Armstrong, you're not getting paid a lot.I'm a great designer though and it's important to keep pushing on with that. So that's what I did... focused on building the business side up, that funds everything else.So here you go... the answer to all the questions and lots of exciting news!I'll take a moment to thank you all for listening so far. I appreciate all of you and always welcome your comments, questions and thoughts.

Episode #63 Heritage | Mike Brewer - HIS Porsche Origins Story

Mike Brewer!There are some people that when you meet them, you either are impressed at their authenticity and how closely the on-screen persona matches the person you meet, or you feel a bit let down that it's an act. Well that's my take anyway.Of course there's a little turning it up to 11, but the man I've gotten to know over the past couple of years is pretty much the same guy you see on TV.Now on that... in the YouTube video episode coming out Saturday 3rd April 2025, I put a two second clip in the intro of the first Porsche I remember Edd and Mike working on. An Irish green targa. I must have been in my early 20's when I first saw that episode and I've seen it a few times. Never once did I think I'd be trading messages and chatting away like old friends in person. The thing I'm doing never ceases to amaze me.So grab a megapint (thanks Johnny Depp that still cracks me up), settle in and 'old aat yer 'and!You can find Mike at @mikebrewer One Automotive is at @oneautomotiveuk and @mikebrewermotorsI'll take a moment to thank you all for listening so far.

Episode #62 Waffle | Frank Cassidy is back! The ULTIMATE road trip guide

Frank is back!It's been a while since Frank Cassidy has been on the pod. As I've said to him, our episode together is one of the ones that people mention to me most. Likewise, it's been an admission of Frank's that he enjoyed our chat more than any other "interview". Quotes because I try hard to avoid being an interviewer.Last time we caught up, Frank and I chatted about doing some episodes where it wasn't about him as a person, as we've done that, but actually our shared experiences. I suggested, based on the Niners Unplugged episode I appeared on, way back, that we do something on road trips.If you haven't watched the Niners Unplugged episode then go do that. It's pinned to my IG grid but can be found on the Boxengasse Niners Unplugged YouTube channel. In that episode, which generally goes well, Frank asks one of his standard questions "So tell me where you've been in the car..." insert pregnant pause as I scramble to remember even something basic. Not great. But I did respond by immediately planning a trip. That trip was recorded and at this point has had about 20000 views on YouTube. It didn't stop there and in the bank right now, is last year road trip. That episode will be out soon enough.We also catch up on Megaphonics and the plans both short and long-term.So here it is, Frank and I talking all things road trips.You can find Frank at @frankrcassidy and Boxengasse at @boxengasseco I'll take a moment to thank you all for listening so far.

Episode #61 Tech Talk | Modifying Cayman 987/981/718 - Renngineering LIVE! at Porsche Club Great Britain

Renngineering LIVE!This latest episode was shot at Porsche Club Great Britain where in front a studio audience, myself and two other fairly knowledgeable owners break down our approach to our cars.We start off with Kai who owns a 2.0 base model 718 Cayman and went for a big power approach. For the 987 we've got Simon who competes in sprint events and hillclimbs so more of a focus on lightweight. I cover my car to an extent and talk about the specialness I've been trying to create with that car.We wrap up with a Q&A where the audience got the opportunity to dig a little deeper in to our insights and experiences.You can find Porsche Club Great Britain at porscheclubgb.com or @porscheclubgb on Instagram.It's very much in the spirit of old Top Gear this episode so if you get chance, head over to YouTube and watch the episode to get the full experience and see the cars we're talking about.I'll take a moment to thank you all for listening so far.

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

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 podsMatte carbon throughoutGold pinstripe on the engine coverIn this episode I also pick up on the next few episodes being shot and some potentially game-changing news for Renngineering, that could... be the start of the shift towards it being a full time job.I'll take a moment to thank you all for listening so far.
