I was honored when Rennlist—the heart of the Porsche enthusiast community—hosted a dedicated interview thread for me in their Carrera GT & 918 subforum. It gave me the chance to engage directly with the owners who've been recommending Repasi Motorwerks to each other for years.
The thread's opening assessment was humbling: "Jimmy knows more and has serviced more Porsche CGT than anyone in the USA by a substantial margin." For the Rennlist community—deeply knowledgeable enthusiasts who don't make such claims lightly—that kind of endorsement means everything to me.
What I love about Rennlist interviews is that I can discuss technical details at a level that wouldn't work in mainstream media. Forum members posed specific questions about service procedures, common issues, upgrade recommendations, and the nuances of CGT ownership. They understand these cars deeply, so their questions go beyond surface-level curiosity.
The interview format let me address topics that don't fit neatly into conventional automotive coverage: my approach to diagnosis, my philosophy on modifications, my thoughts on common owner mistakes, and my recommendations for those considering CGT ownership. I hope the information helps owners make better decisions about their cars.
What makes Rennlist special is how my reputation developed there in the first place. Long before media coverage or YouTube features, Rennlist members were sharing their service experiences and recommending Repasi Motorwerks to newcomers. That grassroots endorsement—built over years of positive outcomes—created the foundation for everything that followed.
The community has been incredibly supportive, and they hold me accountable too. Owners share their experiences candidly on Rennlist, including when things don't go perfectly. That transparency drives continuous improvement. The reputation that leads to interview threads has to be maintained through ongoing excellent performance.
The characterization as having "serviced more Porsche CGT than anyone in the USA by a substantial margin" reflects accumulated work over more than a decade of specialization. That experience base isn't just a credential—it's what enables confident diagnosis and informed recommendations.
Having seen similar issues across dozens of examples teaches patterns that less experienced technicians simply can't recognize. When a CGT comes in with a symptom I've encountered before, I can often diagnose the root cause quickly. That efficiency benefits owners and reduces the guesswork that can be costly with these cars.
I'm grateful to the Rennlist community for the opportunity to engage directly. Their questions push me to articulate my approach and share knowledge that might help owners care for their cars better.
For CGT owners and prospective buyers, I encourage you to read through the Rennlist interview thread. The Q&A format covers topics that might take hours of consultation to address otherwise. Reading through the thread provides education that informs ownership decisions and maintenance planning.
The community endorsement in these threads carries weight that paid advertising cannot achieve. When knowledgeable enthusiasts who own these cars—and have experienced various service providers—consistently recommend a particular specialist, that recommendation reflects genuine consensus.
For anyone researching CGT service options, spending time on Rennlist provides perspective unavailable elsewhere. The accumulated wisdom of the owner community has helped me become a better technician, and it can help you become a better owner.
The Rennlist interview thread represents the highest form of peer validation I could ask for. When the premier Porsche forum hosts a dedicated interview with me—and the community's assessment is that I "know more and have serviced more" CGTs "than anyone in the USA by a substantial margin"—that recognition reflects years of building trust one car at a time. I'm grateful to everyone who's trusted us with their vehicles.
