Engine Seminar Interest? (Enthusiast level)

[Soetekouw]

I am interested. Learning how to do the services would have more value to me than learning how to rebuild the engine.

I would like to learn:
30K, 60K, 90K service
Flush the transmission (tiptronic)
Flush the radiator
Change the brake fluid
Replace brake pads
Replace belt
Replace spark plugs
Adjust the soft top

If you have a class around the March, April, May, June time period, I'll be there. And since I want all the above done to my vehicle (2007 Boxster S 45K miles), it'll be an ideal opportunity for you, or me to do it at your facility.

Keep me posted if this course will be scheduled.

My thing is the engine.. I try to not even work on the other aspects of the car...

But I could put something together, for sure.

Classes would be 10-12 attendees, no more than that as my classroom is only large enough for up to 12 people.

I will begin putting together a curriculum and looking at the schedule.. I am not working on the race team next year, so I have time to do more things like this..

1) Would need to be in the summer as many of us Yankees have the cars out away for the winter
2) Would make sense to do some procedures in class while fresh in our minds and "expert" back-up is available. A large value add is what to do when things don't go as planned.
3) Perhaps a tie-in with Pelican / dealer or other parts provider for discounted parts.
They could be shipped to GA in time for the class.
4) Most of us will never rebuild an engine - but we will do scheduled maintenance, water pumps, brakes, etc., If we knock off a few of these things - we just about pay for the course.

And of course - evening beers and socializing is a great way to learn as well.

Too complicated.. Due to liability reasons we'd not be able to have attendees work on their own cars during the class..

This will be presentation based.

We have our own parts store on site, no need to source parts from anoutside source. The best part is FSI parts are mostly non OEM and are designed as updated components.

My interest would have a lot to do with the price. How much?

From Jake's first post:
"The rough pricing for the seminar would be 499.00/ person for the two day course."

[RandallNeighbour]

I did not see that.

That's actually a good price for a two-day training seminar.
