We’re working on the details at the moment. Yes one is coming. When is the question as the Gold Leaf guys and I are looking at how we can collab.

@ Awsome 👍🏼

Really appreciate that. There are few like baz these days. A true legend.

Definitely doable! Good luck.

They did and deemed it an acceptable “function” that if the car goes unused for a while CANBUS sets the unit to deep sleep. The only way to revive it is to disconnect the main power supply and reconnect it. That is the fix. It’s not ideal but until PCCM comes out, it’s a small inconvenience. Just drive the car regularly hey… 😅

@@Renngineering did you ever fit the DAB if so was it any good

@@Renngineering thanks 👍

Me either 😆 TH-cam loves you or hates you. I don’t make click bait content and don’t intend to. The quality of the conversation is important to me. The content will find its home. On the flip - the audio on the podcast is doing really well. Stick with Hartech and the patience game. I’ve learned over the year that it’s absolutely worth waiting for the best. Thanks for the kind comments.

@@Renngineering Thanks, I will do. I'll catch them in a quiet spell and get my 911 booked in. Can't wait really. Best Wishes !

I’m really glad you enjoyed it! Loads more episodes on here and dozens on the podcast…

It’s too early to be confident of a final price. The intent isn’t to generate enormous profit though. So the price will reflect the cost plus sufficient margin to progress further. There will be transparency around cost throughout the build.

Absolutely. Design Stuff Online. If you call/email, just mention me and I’m sure John will look after you.

Amazing feedback. Thank you so much. I’m going through a lull in motivation at the moment and that was the boost I needed.

@@Renngineering My pleasure.

😂

Cost is an interesting one. Profit-making isn't a primary objective here and early adoption will always be valued and held in the highest esteem. That partnership will be a long one so it's as much a partnership with the client as it is with the partners involved.

Oh dude, just wait. A full explanation video is coming. I’m a perfectionist so this will be a slow build. Totally worth it though.

They say having hobbies keeps us engaged, this stuff keeps us invigorated! Can't wait to experience the build out. We'll be here for it all, including some of the craziness too, lol. Really cool video. Did you do that yourself?@@Renngineering 🚕

Interesting take on the hobby aspect. Whilst not my day job, my profession is an engineer and the project will be treated like a systems engineering project. Suuuper in-depth and possibly not shown on TH-cam before!

Also, thank you for the support and happy to have you onboard!

Moving a shifter around is limited impact. A client would have the opportunity to discuss customisation to their specific needs.

Good! It’s going to need a lot energy and curiosity from people to make it a success.

Info@renngineering.com for all serious enquiries.

Pretty amazing hey...

Love your insight! Actually the seat backs are going Irish green Alcantara in may! I’ll update with the finished interior then. Thanks for watching.

That was the first time going out in one and wow!

😁 LFG!!

Agreed.

It's a Porsche 75 years enamel grille badge. White ones are 1 of 200 and black are slightly larger and 1 of a few thousand from memory.

It really is!

Glad you like them! Lots more to come!

Thank you! Such a rad car hey!

Thanks Connor! I love getting feedback like that. Keep watching!

Thank you kind sir!

💯 wouldn’t go anywhere else.

@@Renngineering same bud if I can't do it myself I go there simples 💯🫶👌👍🏻

That’s really solid feedback! I was always aware this was a half way measure and tried to call out my failings as well as the kit. Glad you’ve had a great experience. Springs held up ok?

@@Renngineering yep springs are grand in my other car with near 30k on them thanks

Interesting! I’ll reach out to KW and update.

@@Renngineering yes I definitely would, I would say any deviation from the fitting instructions and your beat but I did exactly as instructed and they realised the issue and made good without question. 👍

Thanks for the feedback! Alcantara is a funny one. You can get great cleaning solutions now that mean it last so much longer than it did. Ultimately there is an element of acceptance needed that it’ll age. Dirt shouldn’t be a problem but yep it’ll patina for sure.

Thanks Michael! Thanks for the lovely comments as well. I’ve got a cover that if I’m working on the car, I put on. That way the cover gets filthy but the steering wheel stays fine. It’ll age though for sure, but doesn’t put me off. I love the idea of a fully retro version of a car! Did they do a cassette deck for the 997?

Thanks so much! It does mate yeah. I’m looking to set it to not rise and it can be done. Scotty and I haven’t worked it out yet though. You set the height to 200mph effectively and it stop it rising.

Thanks man. Appreciate that. I think Fancy Plates. I typically get all my plates made there as the quality is generally spot on. As far as I’m aware it’s legal! It’s been through an MOT! Exhaust is Designtek Valvetronix

@@Renngineering Ok, cheers for that ✌🏻

No worries!

I was gobsmacked as well. It’s great quality. I think it’s just you and me with the ambers but I’ll take it. 😅 mesh I bought some zip tie sticky pads, removed the sticky pad and used stikaflex to hold them on. The zip tied the mesh to those. Makes replacement easy.

@@Renngineering Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a go the next time I have the front bumper off.

Thanks for the feedback! I think that’s my overall thinking. It’s all personal preference and what’s important is to consider the end look before you start. Insurance no problem at all. It’s up for renewal so I’ll be looking at agreed value this time around based on condition.

I’m sorry you’ve got car trouble my dude! I have heard of the HPFP failing but haven’t (yet) had that happen. Let me know how it goes with the fix and costs info@renngineering.com In terms of mesh. There’s definitely a very small reduction in flow because you have a smaller volume of air flowing through the radiators at any one time. Can I calculate that? Possibly but it would take a while. Can I test it? Yes and I’ve driven all around the south of France and in to the alps so high temps and high altitude. Did I see an increase in engine temperature that could be attributed to the mesh? No. Coolant temps have been rock solid. The other question is, does the risk of slightly more restrictive flow outweigh the risk of a radiator being pierced by a foreign object? No way.. that’s a critical failure with minimal warning. An overheating engine will give you a solid warning and in my case has been proven to be ok. Long answer but hope that helps!

@@Renngineering Good to hear that. I think with the 718 the mesh is a factory option. The hHPFP part is 1200 eur and the labour is 2-4 hours. I will let you know when it finished. I love the vintage 911s/t badge where did you find that part?

Just from Porsche! I don’t remember the price but I think around £120.

That’s a hell of a comment! Totally respect your commitment to keep what Porsche designed. As time goes on they become rarer and rarer. That’s what makes the community so good. Variety!

You have eagle eyes! I had taken them off to clean them and noticed it watching the footage back. Too late then but have sorted it since. Love your attention to detail though and it’s absolutely how I am as well.

@@Renngineering yes I am very ocd like your self 👍🏻

That and you’d need to take a huge breaker bar every where you go 🤣 centre locks look cool but I don’t know what problem they’re solving. Plus I just bought titanium wheel studs/nuts.

Thanks for the lovely feedback. Not to sound facetious but Porsche! There are options. Design911 where the exhaust is from, or Suncoast in the states. I’ve often found Porsche dealers pretty well priced.

Thanks👍🏻do you know what the part number is? Thanks

It’s a copy and I took a punt on it but it is excellent quality in fairness. Will talk about it on the next Ep. Thanks for commenting.

lol the chippies claw hammer. Correct it was a claw hammer. It was 18 months ago and I’ve absolutely no idea what it was used for but I’m sure I had good reason. Grad engineer no. I’m afraid you’re incorrect on that. Please keep comments polite and respectful.

I stand corrected 👍@@Renngineering

Thank you. Hope you enjoy the content and appreciate you popping back.

Dude that’s made my day 😃

Look I get it. To the uninitiated, you might convince a few people that you have a higher model. In reality, that niggle will never really go away that it's a not-quite. You can have fun at any level though. Check out the VW Up episode for example. For me, like you, I'm extremely happy with what I have. If more expensive toys come in the future, it'll be the cherry on the cherry on the cake.

I’m glad it resonated with you!

Man I live for these comments. I’m going to a podcast episode reading a load out. Amazing…. Thank you for commenting.

I don’t disagree with you! You would have to test them all back to back on the same day on the same roads to make it a proper test. Looks are important to me and the car felt great in the alps, so I’m happy with the decision but I hear you.

Thanks Simon for all your support mate.

It’s the KW HAS kit. To be fair I just scoured the internet for the cheapest price. Prices change so it might not be the same now but I bought my set from ML Performance. I’d hold out for a review during that episode though as it’s mixed.

Thank you@@Renngineering

Car looks great! Can’t wait to see the rest of the videos. Have you thought about changing the sidelights to clear from amber? Thanks for putting out the content. Much appreciated.

I have both. In fact I have three sets. Amber 981 generation. Amber 718 generation. And clear 981. The amber is a styling choice for me to tip the hat to early 911s. I get why in the states you’d frown as everyone does the opposite.
