Drifting: To Plate or Not to Plate -- That is the Question!<br />

By John Hamilton, Region President<br />

The changes in Texas law effective<br />

September 1 reinstated<br />

a fine for not having a front<br />

license plate. One of our long-term<br />

members, Milton Barley, did some<br />

extensive research on the subject<br />

and sent around his findings:<br />

“1) Over a year ago, HB2357 was passed, which was an<br />

attempt to streamline and clarify a number of points<br />

in the motor vehicle registration and licensing laws,<br />

and it “inadvertently” omitted the provision for a fine<br />

for not having license plate(s) on a vehicle. The net<br />

result was that there was a law with no penalty, and<br />

almost all jurisdictions stopped trying to write tickets<br />

on it. Technically, no front plate was still a ‘probable<br />

cause’ for a traffic stop, and that was your greatest risk.<br />

“2) Last year, HB 657 was introduced, to change<br />

the law to require only one plate in the rear, and<br />

that bill died in committee, due mainly to opposition<br />

by law enforcement. Their latest opposition is<br />

partially based on new camera/software technology<br />

which allows them to randomly scan plates,<br />

looking for outstanding wants and warrants.<br />

“3) Last year, HB 625 was introduced and passed,<br />

which adds back the provision for a fine of up to $200<br />

for driving a vehicle without current license plate(s).<br />

This bill became effective September 1, <strong>2013</strong>.<br />

“In summary, it appears that we go back to the way it<br />

was in 2012 and earlier, and it will be up to the local<br />

jurisdictions to determine what level of enforcement<br />

takes place. We are, in my opinion, left to the tender<br />

mercies and attitude of the officer who stops you,<br />

and then, how you present yourself (courteous and<br />

friendly goes a long way, I think). I also believe that if<br />

you are driving a Porsche, it is probably<br />

best to not use some story about<br />

not being able to find a bracket or<br />

‘the dealer said I didn’t need one.’<br />

Most of them have heard that line<br />

and don’t like to hear it again.”<br />

Thank you, Milton, for your<br />

research, insight, and recommendations.<br />

By the way, it should also be<br />

noted that there has been a Texas<br />

court case that ruled that having<br />

your license plate in the front windshield<br />

does not meet the intent of<br />

the law, and that your plate must be<br />

attached to the front of the vehicle.<br />

ALEXIS A. V. CAMPBELL, Proprietor<br />

1235 William D. Tate Ave<br />

Grapevine, TX 76051<br />

So the final decision is left up to you, the Porsche<br />

owner. Were you stopped before September, 2012 when<br />

the fine was still in place? Do you think having the fine<br />

back will increase the likelihood of being stopped now?<br />

There is no perfect answer, but it’s up to you!<br />

Mav of the Month<br />

As some of you may have heard, our Drivers’ Education<br />

Chair, Lori Mauthe, has relocated to a different<br />

part of the country due to employment. Thus, we<br />

started running an ad in <strong>Slipstream</strong> for a new DE<br />

Chair. Well, one day this summer, in<br />

walks Maverick member Chris Tabor<br />

and says he’s interested. After an<br />

in-depth investigation of the job and<br />

its responsibilities, Chris accepted the<br />

position. So a huge thank-you to Chris<br />

and all the great Maverick volunteers<br />

who step-up when help is needed.<br />

And to Chris, as a token of our appreciation,<br />

enjoy your Gift Certificate to<br />

the Silver Fox Steakhouse in Grapevine!<br />

Carey On...<br />

By Carey Spreen, Managing Editor<br />

Our Fall<br />

season is<br />

now in<br />

full swing, with<br />

several events<br />

scheduled for <strong>October</strong><br />

-- how many<br />

can you attend?<br />

Saturday, Oct 5 is our Cars &<br />

Cattle Poker Rally and Concours<br />

d’Non-Elegance (see ad below<br />

for details). Wondering what the<br />

heck that is? A Poker Run is a<br />

type of rally in which participants<br />

stop at various locations along the<br />

route and pick up a playing card.<br />

At the end of the route, whoever<br />

has the best poker hand wins. As<br />

for the Concours d’Non-Elegance<br />

-- well, it’s a car show at a working<br />

cattle ranch. ‘Nuf said?<br />

Sunday the 6th is our annual Time<br />

Trial held at MotorSport Ranch. If<br />

you haven’t registered by the time<br />

you read this, it’s probably too late!<br />

The next weekend consists of our<br />

annual Swap Meet on Saturday the<br />

12th, again hosted by Zim’s Autotechnik<br />

in Bedford. Got a part you<br />

no longer need, or are you looking<br />

for a used part for the right price?<br />

The Swap Meet is great for both.<br />

Sunday the 13th is a redux of the<br />

very popular Sunday Drive to the<br />

San Martiño Winery in Rockwall<br />

that was held in 2011. John Harvey’s<br />

Sunday Drive crew has chosen<br />

a route that they know you will enjoy,<br />

to be followed by a picnic lunch<br />

(which you bring with you); the<br />

winery asks that you purchase a bottle<br />

of wine, as there are no outside<br />

beverages allowed. They also offer<br />

wine tastings at $8 for five samples.<br />

The weekend of Oct 26-27 is when<br />

Maverick Region hosts its PCA Club<br />

Race and DE at Eagles Canyon<br />

Raceway. If you have never attended<br />

a Club Race and are interested<br />

in finding out more about it, come<br />

on out to Eagles Canyon, north of<br />

Decatur, to see what it’s all about.<br />

We can always use volunteers as<br />

well, so if you feel like contributing<br />

your time and seeing what goes on<br />

behind the scenes, contact Wendy<br />

Shoffit at crreg@mavpca.org to<br />

see what positions need filling.<br />

Finally, our annual Founders’<br />

Day banquet will be held this<br />

year on Saturday, Nov 2 -- see the<br />

ad on page 17 for details. This<br />

year’s event, our 51st, will be a<br />

return to normal for us after last<br />

year’s big 50th Anniversary blowout,<br />

but it will be a fitting look<br />

back at the year nonetheless.<br />

Maverick Minutes: September Board Meeting<br />

By Renee Farinella, Region Secretary September 4, <strong>2013</strong><br />

Region President<br />

John<br />

Hamilton<br />

began the meeting<br />

at 7:03pm<br />

by welcoming<br />

new and visiting<br />

Maverick Members<br />

Jim and Linda Curzan, as well<br />

as our incoming DE chair Chris<br />

Tabor, praising the club for how<br />

well we function in general as an<br />

organization. Former Social Chair<br />

Christy Payne sat in on the meeting<br />

as well, as she is assisting current<br />

Social Chair Tracy Robertson<br />

with several upcoming events.<br />

Also, because Vice President Gareth<br />

Maurice was unable to attend,<br />

John gave Gareth’s report, requesting<br />

up to $400 for a graphics<br />

package to be used to create <strong>Slipstream</strong><br />

event promotional ads. After<br />

some discussion regarding version<br />

and necessity, this was approved.<br />

Flowers were purchased and<br />

a $100 donation request was<br />

made for Hope Shelter, on<br />

behalf of longtime contributor<br />

Maverick Ed Mayo at the passing<br />

of his mother. Approved.<br />

The 2014 Nomination Committee<br />

announcement was supposed have<br />

been ready for publication earlier<br />

this year; however, all elected board<br />

members are re-running for 2014.<br />

John is sending an email to the<br />

Region membership to serve as<br />

notice that the Executive Council<br />

offices are open for nomination.<br />

Thank you to John Harvey, Travis<br />

Howard, and Carey Spreen, who<br />

volunteered to serve as the nominating<br />

committee. More specific<br />

information is available on page 14.<br />

Tracy Robertson said the social<br />

calendar is all lined up through<br />

January 2014. Cars and Cattle is<br />

scheduled for Saturday, <strong>October</strong> 5,<br />

6 <strong>October</strong><br />

for which Tourmeister John Harvey<br />

kindly mapped a great route. The<br />

event includes a poker run, prizes,<br />

and Concours. Should be a fun<br />

photo op. Christy Payne is helping<br />

with our annual Founders’ Day<br />

event, which will be held Saturday,<br />

November 2 at the NYLO hotel<br />

in Las Colinas. She asked board<br />

members to help get donations<br />

lined up for a really great auction!<br />

Think holiday! She will send a<br />

reminder to everyone to be reaching<br />

out for donations. Chris Tabor<br />

volunteered to donate a fancy<br />

car wash from one of his “Shine”<br />

facilities over near Fort Worth.<br />

Thank you, Chris! Our charity, the<br />

Huffaker Hughes Hope House<br />

is the beneficiary of the Silent<br />

Auction, and their annual holiday<br />

party is planned for Saturday,<br />

December 21 from noon to 2pm.<br />

As a reminder, the raffle tickets<br />

for the one-year lease on a Porsche<br />

Macan are available for purchase<br />

from board members at various<br />

events for $50 each, as well as<br />

through a link on the mavpca.<br />

org home page. Anyone can purchase<br />

these tickets; sales are not<br />

limited to PCA members only.<br />

Next up was <strong>Slipstream</strong> Editor<br />

Carey Spreen, who highlighted<br />

an opportunity for folks to<br />

participate in an SCCA “Rally<br />

Master” school, on September<br />

21. He also expressed support on<br />

behalf of several folks who would<br />

like for Don Sebert to bring his<br />

many years of experience to chair<br />

the Maverick Rally program.<br />

Region Treasurer Jim Falgout<br />

gave his report next by saying we<br />

are in good fiscal health; the DE<br />

tracks are paid for, and we are due<br />

about $8,500 from our advertisers.<br />

New Driver Education Chair<br />

Chris Tabor appreciated the warm<br />

welcome, and that he was looking<br />

forward to participating with<br />

the Mavericks in this way. He said<br />

his group is ready to go for the<br />

September 21-22 DE at Motor-<br />

Sport Ranch; had some general<br />

operational questions for discussion;<br />

will meet with Lori Mauthe<br />

for additional transitional info;<br />

and made a suggestion to consider<br />

breaking up the Blue and Green<br />

run groups into faster and slower<br />

sub-groups for increased efficiency.<br />

Membership Co-Chairs Tom<br />

and Susan Froehlich began their<br />

report by mentioning that our<br />

Region continues to grow, now at<br />

an all-time high of 2,270 members,<br />

including affiliates. They said that<br />

we (as chairs and other board<br />

members and volunteers) are<br />

working to address the non-renewal<br />

issues; further discussion ensued<br />

at this point, and good ideas were<br />

exchanged regarding a solution.<br />

Concours Chair Andy Kay chimed<br />

in and made a great suggestion:<br />

Have we asked our members why<br />

they join? I believe our collective<br />

interest here is to maintain a highobjective<br />

standard of continuing<br />

to grow the value provisioning of<br />

the club, and facilitate the best<br />

interests of the membership.<br />

Sunday Drive Chair John Harvey<br />

was excited to say that there were<br />

31 couples that made the drive<br />

from the Metroplex to Boxstoberfest<br />

in Fredericksburg, which was<br />

held September 6-8, with over 200<br />

cars total participating. The San<br />

Martiño Ranch drive and wine<br />

tasting event is ready to go for<br />

Sunday, <strong>October</strong> 13! Additionally,<br />

a Sunday Drive on November 17<br />

to Fort Richardson is in the works,<br />

and an event that he is calling the<br />

Frick’n Toy Run (in honor of Jean<br />

and Dave Frick, whose idea it was<br />

for the event) will be on Sunday,


December 8. Please check the Maverick Region website<br />

calendar regularly for all event details and updates.<br />

Calendar Boy and Sunday Drive Deputy Brendan<br />

Eagan said that their event route mapping predrives<br />

are available for others to join, if interested.<br />

PR chair Linda Bambina asked that someone write<br />

an article to cover the Club Race in <strong>October</strong>, since<br />

she and husband Alan will be at the PCA Escape in<br />

California that weekend. We look forward to hearing<br />

all about it and seeing some great pictures as well!<br />

Tech Session Chair Ed Mullenix is planning<br />

one of his always-informative Tech Sessions<br />

for the January time frame; topics tbd.<br />

Autocross and Time Trial Chair Travis Howard<br />

reported that all is on track with his events. Please<br />

check the Maverick Region website for details, and<br />

don’t forget to register for the Time Trial at Motorsport<br />

Ranch on Sunday, <strong>October</strong> 6, but note that only<br />

entrants with track experience will be accepted.<br />

Linda Bambina noted that Bill McBride, our<br />

long-time <strong>Slipstream</strong> back cover advertiser for State<br />

Farm, is retiring; Autobahn Porsche has taken<br />

over as the full back cover advertiser. Club Race<br />

Registrar Wendy Shoffit mentioned that she needs<br />

volunteers for the Club Race at Eagles Canyon<br />

Raceway on <strong>October</strong> 26-27. Please contact Wendy if<br />

you have always wanted to get your feet wet in PCA<br />

Club Racing but didn’t know how to get started.<br />

We were excited to hear that Andy Kay expressed interest<br />

in writing at least one article on the best practices<br />

for the wash and detail of your Porsche! Stay tuned!<br />

There was some discussion at this point of considering<br />

changing the name of our Happy Hours to<br />

something else like Dinners or Social Gatherings,<br />

so as to make it more obvious that these monthly<br />

get-togethers are for more than just drinks, as most<br />

attendees stay for dinner afterwards. More brainstorming<br />

to come on this, and of course if you, the<br />

membership, have any ideas, please let us know!<br />

John then did his routinely best Carnac imitation, and<br />

awarded Mav of the Month to new DE chair Chris<br />

Tabor. Chris, we’re glad you’re aboard and appreciate<br />

all your insights, commitment, and support. Meeting<br />

Destination Restoration: Turn of the Page<br />

By Ash Seidl-Staley<br />

My 944 troubles of the past<br />

few months have really<br />

brought me to the point<br />

where I truly don’t want to own a<br />

water-cooled Porsche EVER again!<br />

Obviously, this is an exaggerated<br />

statement, but the circumstances<br />

of my present situation really<br />

do hurt, and bring me to the edge of insanity.<br />

It all started to go downhill about two weeks after<br />

I had my 944’s cylinder head re-surfaced and belts<br />

changed. I was on my way from work, heading to<br />

CCCC (aka Collin College) when the timing belt<br />

snapped while I was at an Avenue K stop light. After<br />

being honked at, flipped off by Plano’s finest, and<br />

finally bumper-pushed off the road by a police officer,<br />

I was able to begin trying to figure out what<br />

my next course of action was going to be. I’m not<br />

going to lie; at first, anger poured out of every<br />

ounce of my being. I hated everything to do with<br />

engines! But I quickly calmed and cooled down<br />

as I assessed the damage in a CVS parking lot.<br />

Taking off the nose plate and belt housing plate,<br />

I found that the new timing belt was completely<br />

shredded and wound up around the balance shaft<br />

belt. Upon further inspection I found that the timing<br />

belt pulley was crooked and offset as well. This<br />

struck me as a little odd, so I reached in and spun<br />

it only to find that it wouldn’t turn freely at first,<br />

but when it did, it wobbled slightly as it turned.<br />

The culprit for the breakdown was found!<br />

Infamous engine murderer!<br />

As I sat on the curb waiting for the tow truck, I<br />

couldn’t help but wonder what Porsche was thinking<br />

when they designed the 944 2.5L four cylinder as an interference<br />

engine. I mean I understand that the counter-rotating<br />

balance shafts make the four cylinder engine<br />

feel as smooth as a flat six, but how can it be that<br />

the only thing keeping the camshaft and valves in time<br />

with the crank and pistons are two relatively cheap<br />

rubber belts? Doesn’t it bother anyone else to know<br />

that the shoddy rubber timing belt is just a ticking time<br />

bomb of death, waiting to kill our engines? It seems<br />

like a more sturdy chain-tensioned component should<br />

have been installed, like on the 911s, but I’m not a<br />

concept designer or an engineer so what do I know?<br />

Instead of taking the 944 to a shop this time, I began<br />

the work myself. I stripped the car down to the long<br />

block (again) and sent the cylinder head off to the<br />

machine shop (again). Thankfully, only one out of<br />

the eight valves bent when the timing belt snapped, so<br />

the process of purchasing my replacement parts and<br />

gaskets came at a fraction of the shop’s quoted price.<br />

With the help of my Uncle, we slowly but surely<br />

began putting everything back together. Though<br />

I have made it my mission to fix the car and bring<br />

it back roaring to life, my mind has been made<br />

up: the 944 has got to go. I currently have the<br />

car up on Craigslist as it sits, and will continue to<br />

raise the price as more of the to-do list becomes<br />

completed; just waiting for a serious nibble.<br />

Would you like to have your restoration project featured in<br />

an upcoming issue of <strong>Slipstream</strong>? If so, contact me at<br />

ashseidlstaley@gmail.com so that we can put together an<br />

article about it.<br />

I Get Around: Words to Drive By<br />

By Dick Badler<br />

Editor’s Note: Denver resident Dick<br />

Badler writes regularly for outlets that<br />

include TFLCar.com, Planet-9.com,<br />

and High Gear, the publication of<br />

the Rocky Mountain Region of the<br />

Porsche Club of America. Over the<br />

years, Dick has owned six Porsches.<br />

He still has number three, a ’78<br />

911SC, which he bought in 1988.<br />

Anticipate<br />

or Perish.<br />

I used<br />

these words with<br />

my daughters<br />

when they were<br />

learning to drive.<br />

It worked. My<br />

daughters survived<br />

their teen years behind the wheel,<br />

intact. Although I can’t quite say<br />

the same thing about the Civic they<br />

used, occasionally as a bumper car.<br />

There was the incident where<br />

the older one, parking her car in<br />

front of the garage, said her foot<br />

accidentally slipped off the brake<br />

and onto the accelerator . . . the car<br />

then slammed into the garage door.<br />

She called me in the office,<br />

and I had the presence of mind<br />

to ask if she was all right. I’m<br />

very proud of that.Then I called<br />

my wife, and asked how the<br />

garage door was... and she said<br />

there was no garage door.<br />

But the girls remember those<br />

words, to this day. Which is the<br />

point, and which got me thinking<br />

about sayings for driving. And,<br />

you know what? I couldn’t actually<br />

think of many adages at all.<br />

Oh, there’s the Stirling Moss’<br />

comment about straightaways: “The<br />

boring bits between the corners.”<br />

And there’s the 911 mantra: “Slow<br />

in, fast out.” There’s also the line<br />

attributed to A.J. Foyt about driving<br />

at Indy: “If you’re not scaring yourself<br />

three times a lap, you’re going<br />

16 <strong>October</strong><br />

Courtesy High Gear, the Rocky Mountain Region Newsletter<br />

too slow.” Let us not forget, of<br />

course, “Speed is a matter of money<br />

. . . how fast do you want to go?”<br />

I got an e-mail from the online<br />

magazine Winding Road, offering<br />

slogan tee shirts, but all they had<br />

were “Keep Calm and Carry Speed”<br />

and “It’s surprising how many<br />

people, including Formula 1 drivers,<br />

think the brakes are for slowing<br />

the car down,” a quote which is<br />

attributed to Mario Andretti.<br />

Not exactly inspiring, are they?<br />

Which is very ironic, because if<br />

you’re a runner, you get inundated<br />

with all manner of profundities.<br />

One magazine, Runner’s World,<br />

actually sends you a “Daily<br />

Kick in the Butt” by email.<br />

And it’s even more ironic, because<br />

many of the lines I see relate to a<br />

lot more than running . . . like competing<br />

in general . . . and like life.<br />

Take this one: “A man can fall<br />

many times, but he isn’t a failure<br />

until he begins to blame somebody<br />

else,” attributed to Steve Prefontaine.<br />

And another one from<br />

Pre: “To give anything less than<br />

your best is to sacrifice the gift.”<br />

Here’s my favorite from Steve:<br />

“A lot of people run a race to see<br />

who’s the fastest. I run to see who<br />

has the most guts . . . ” In point<br />

of fact, the running world picks<br />

up these quotes from all sorts of<br />

places, and makes them their own.<br />

Try this one: “Success is a peace<br />

of mind, which is a direct result<br />

of self-satisfaction in knowing<br />

you did your best to become<br />

the best that you are capable of<br />

becoming” -- John Wooden.<br />

Or: “Twenty years from now,<br />

you will be more disappointed<br />

by things you didn’t do than by<br />

the ones you did. So throw off<br />

the bowlines, sail away from the<br />

safe harbor, and catch the trade<br />

winds in your sails. Explore.<br />

Dream. Discover” -- Mark Twain.<br />

Or: “We must all suffer from<br />

one of two pains; the pain of<br />

discipline or the pain of regret.<br />

The difference is that discipline<br />

weighs ounces and lasts a moment<br />

while regret weighs tons<br />

and lasts a lifetime” -- Jim Rohn<br />

Now, understand, I don’t see any<br />

of this anywhere in the automotive<br />

world, or motorsport world for that<br />

matter. I don’t know why. Because<br />

when it’s a hot and steamy day,<br />

and you’re wearing a multi-layer<br />

Nomex driving suit and full-face<br />

helmet, and you’re fastened hard<br />

into the roll-cage of your car, and<br />

you’re pounding around a bullring<br />

for an hour and a half, and<br />

your pulse is soaring, and you’re<br />

manic to get to the checkered flag,<br />

first, l don’t care how good your<br />

cool suit and your drinking tube<br />

are -- it’s the same challenge.<br />

Here’s how Patton described it:<br />

“Now if you are going to win any<br />

battle you have to do one thing.<br />

You have to make the mind run the<br />

body. Never let the body tell the<br />

mind what to do. The body will always<br />

give up. It is always tired morning,<br />

noon, and night. But the body<br />

is never tired if the mind is not<br />

tired. You’ve always got to make the<br />

mind take over and keep going.”<br />

Ahh, that little voice. When I<br />

ran my first half-marathon, I got<br />

to mile 8 or 9 and started having<br />

a conversation with that voice.<br />

It was telling me to stop. And I<br />

answered with “what would I say<br />

to people?” And the voice kept<br />

coming up with scenarios, so to<br />

speak, like “I tripped” or “it was<br />

too hot.” And my conscious kept<br />

rejecting them, saying, “no that<br />

won’t work, nobody will believe


me.” This went on and on, and on . . . until I<br />

reached mile 12 and realized the end was in sight.<br />

Here’s what you’re up against: “It’s very hard to<br />

understand in the beginning that the whole idea is<br />

not to beat the other runners. Eventually you learn<br />

that the competition is against the little voice inside<br />

you that wants to quit” -- Dr. George Sheehan.<br />

So what’s the problem, drivers?<br />

Try this one on: “Keep the dream in front of you. Never<br />

let it go, regardless of how farfetched it might seem”<br />

-- Hal Higdon.<br />

Or the gray haired mantra: “Once you’re over the hill,<br />

you pick up speed.”<br />

Will they work for you? Only time -- your time -- will<br />

tell.<br />

Cliff’s Ramblings: Software Updates and Server Crashes<br />

By Cliff Blackshear<br />

Just a few weeks<br />

ago, a 997<br />

owner brings his<br />

car in and reports<br />

the following:<br />

“While driving<br />

along, the radio<br />

just goes off, then<br />

comes back on at times.” We take<br />

a look at the car. It is a 2011 model<br />

with low miles. It is equipped with<br />

a PCM (Porsche Communication<br />

Management) system.<br />

Most of the cars have a PCM<br />

system with various add-on accessories.<br />

It can play CDs, has XM radio,<br />

Bluetooth to link to phone, Navigation,<br />

a port for an iPod connection,<br />

display back up camera, trip data,<br />

etc., etc. It works well and usually<br />

has a Bose amplifier speaker system.<br />

The super high-end units are<br />

equipped with Burmester systems.<br />

Porsche constantly has updates<br />

for these systems. We can access<br />

software and update it. This<br />

starts with a simple check of what<br />

software level it currently has and<br />

what update might be available,<br />

so that is where we begin on the<br />

997. No update available for this<br />

type of issue. I start thinking it<br />

has a hardware problem, and<br />

maybe as the system warms up,<br />

something internally is failing.<br />

Before we can make a decision<br />

on what we are going to do, a 2011<br />

Cayenne comes in with the same<br />

symptoms. Then a Panamera.<br />

Hummm. I file a request with<br />

Porsche technical support, and<br />

supply all pertinent information<br />

including VIN, mileage, and<br />

software levels, plus we generate<br />

analysis protocols for each vehicle<br />

(these run several hundreds of<br />

pages of raw data about each car).<br />

Next, I get a phone call from<br />

technical support. They are getting<br />

these reports from all over the US<br />

all at once. Engineering is on red<br />

alert and DEFCON 1 has been declared.<br />

I am then sent an email with<br />

very specific instructions to gather<br />

information from each PCM and<br />

load it on a memory stick from the<br />

onboard USB connection, transfer<br />

it to my computer, and forward it<br />

ASAP! I am told this seems to be affecting<br />

only 2011 cars (all models).<br />

Meanwhile they want us to<br />

reset the systems to original factory<br />

settings, erase any phone-<br />

20 <strong>October</strong>


ooks, stored data of any type,<br />

and retest, then report back.<br />

The problem is still there.<br />

In about 24 hours I get another<br />

call, and am told that XM blasted<br />

out a software update over the<br />

weekend, which seems to be<br />

where the issue started. We are<br />

asked to disable XM in a few cars<br />

and see what happens. So we go<br />

to XM Enabling in our tester<br />

and enter a 16-digit code that<br />

disables the XM system, then<br />

wait to see if problem goes away.<br />

Lo and behold, it does. Then we<br />

are told to stand by and ask our<br />

Porsche owners to be patient.<br />

Three days later, on PPN (Porsche<br />

Partnership Network), a fix is<br />

posted, with very specific instructions.<br />

A link to a file is included,<br />

and we put the file on a disc. We<br />

are instructed to go into the PCM<br />

system, reset it again to original factory<br />

settings, disable XM, and load<br />

the new file. Then re-enable XM,<br />

clear any faults from all software in<br />

all systems, and test. It works! We<br />

are still dealing with this even now;<br />

it takes about an hour to resolve.<br />

So today, a car that had this issue<br />

orbited into my radar zone when I<br />

got to work. The owner had traveled<br />

about 150 miles to get to us so<br />

we could repair his 2011 Panamera<br />

PCM system with a known good fix.<br />

I go to PIWIS (Porsche Integrated<br />

Workshop Information System)<br />

to get the 16-digit enabling code<br />

needed to complete the repair,<br />

and find that Germany’s server<br />

is down. Are You Serious?????<br />

I get a call from technical, and<br />

they want to inquire about a car<br />

from last week that we had, regarding<br />

the fact that the fix should<br />

already have been implemented<br />

during the build process. They<br />

want more details about what we<br />

found, and how we took care of<br />

the issue. It was a noise issue in<br />

a 2014 Cayman (long story).<br />

After answering their questions,<br />

I inquire if there is any way they<br />

can get me some enabling codes<br />

for an owner that is here and<br />

waiting. “No,” I’m told, “We have<br />

no access either,” and enabling<br />

codes are not stored anywhere<br />

else. Major server issue.<br />

Just before we hang up he says,<br />

“The system is back up.” I run to my<br />

computer and get the codes, fix the<br />

Panamera, and get the car cleaned<br />

as quickly as we can. Good grief . . .<br />

Computers can be my best friend<br />

and my worst enemy.<br />

Cheers all, and thank goodness<br />

cooler weather is on the horizon.<br />

I counted five track cars in the<br />

shop today. There’s a DE coming<br />

up, the Club Race at Eagles<br />

Canyon, and then Hallett looming.<br />

Oh, and all you Mav racers<br />

out there? Think Sebring!<br />

Man, I love this time of year.<br />

August Happy Hour: Rio Mambo<br />

By Frank Briggs, Happy Hour Documentarian<br />

As our driving<br />

events<br />

slow with<br />

the 100+ degree<br />

temperatures,<br />

our Happy Hour<br />

attendance<br />

remains very<br />

strong. Fifty Mavericks enjoyed a<br />

lively get together at Rio Mambo<br />

in Colleyville on August 15. The<br />

conversation was filled with stories<br />

about the most recent Parade in<br />

Michigan and the anticipation<br />

of next year’s Parade in beautiful<br />

Monterey, California.<br />

We even had a birthday celebration<br />

honoring our very own Randy<br />

Csanadi. It is not often we get to<br />

witness a 21st birthday party at<br />

Happy Hour. Randy, I do have<br />

the correct number, right? Not<br />

Photos by the Author except where noted<br />

only was Randy a good sport, he<br />

also looks great in a sombrero.<br />

Among the 50 Mavericks attending<br />

were a significant number of<br />

Porschephiles somewhat new to<br />

PCA as well as some new to our<br />

Region. Michael and Barbie Manley<br />

have recently moved to our area,<br />

Tech Corner: OH THANK HEAVEN -- Um, Maybe Not!<br />

By Ed Mullenix, Tech Session Chair<br />

Last November,<br />

white<br />

group DEer<br />

Larry O, PhD<br />

type, and current<br />

owner of DE<br />

instructor Craig<br />

J’s ’01 Boxster S,<br />

had a catastrophic engine failure.<br />

Larry has become quite fast, and<br />

with “sticky Hoosiers,” the engine<br />

finally became a casualty of Eagles<br />

Canyon Raceway. Without any of<br />

the after-market mods to preclude<br />

oil starvation on hard cornering,<br />

Larry’s crankshaft and number<br />

six connecting rod gave out.<br />

Larry brought me the car just<br />

about the time I was moving the<br />

shop to Carrollton. After an unintentional<br />

three week delay, we<br />

totally rebuilt his M96 3.2. This<br />

time, it had the “LN” two quart<br />

deep sump mod, the “x-51” oil<br />

baffle, and an underdrive crankshaft<br />

pulley. I own several nice<br />

cars, so I don’t particularly want<br />

to drive someone else’s car unless<br />

absolutely necessary. Whenever I<br />

rebuild someone’s engine, I try<br />

to put between 50 and 100 miles<br />

on the new engine to sort out<br />

any glitches. Larry’s rebuild was a<br />

classic example why I drive the cars.<br />

It wasn’t an issue before, but after<br />

the rebuild, the bank one (cylinders<br />

1-3) pre-convertor oxygen<br />

sensor decided to die. I replaced<br />

the O 2<br />

sensor and continued my<br />

testing. I drove the car to our<br />

monthly club board meeting in<br />

March. I had it up to 80 mph on<br />

the Bush Tollway and it performed<br />

splendidly. That was a Wednesday.<br />

By Friday, I had accrued around<br />

100 miles with no further issues.<br />

I called Larry and told him his<br />

Boxster was ready to pick up.<br />

Because the car had only been<br />

driven 100 miles since November,<br />

and after road testing had about<br />

¼-tank of old fuel, I suggested that<br />

Larry put some fresh fuel in it. That<br />

he did. He stopped at the nearest<br />

fuel station, which happened to be<br />

a franchise station of “Big Slurp”<br />

Corporation (the names have been<br />

changed to protect the guilty).<br />

The Wednesday that I drove the<br />

car to our board meeting, it had<br />

been raining cats and dogs. Larry<br />

filled up the Boxster that following<br />

Friday and drove it about a mile<br />

to the Bush Tollway on his way<br />

home, when the engine just died!<br />

He called me and explained what<br />

happened. I thought he might<br />

have run out of fuel but he said<br />

that he just filled up the tank.<br />

I hopped in my shop truck, fuel<br />

can and code scanner in hand,<br />

and met Larry and his recalcitrant<br />

Boxster on the shoulder of Bush. I<br />

sat in the car and tried to start it. It<br />

started right up but ran terribly. I<br />

pitched Larry the keys to my truck<br />

and had him follow me while I<br />

drove his Boxster back to the shop.<br />

Let’s see, it runs great before he<br />

puts fuel in it, and one mile after<br />

filling the fuel tank, the engine<br />

dies. Hmm, I smell a fuel problem.<br />

The following Saturday morning I<br />

hooked up the test wires to the fuel<br />

pump relay and raised the car on<br />

a lift, trying to get a fuel sample.<br />

I connected my sample jar to the<br />

fuel return line under the car and<br />

energized the fuel pump. Nothing<br />

emerged from the return line.<br />

I connected a fuel pressure gauge<br />

to the feed line but only saw 45<br />

psi on the gauge. The regulated<br />

pressure should be about 55 psi;<br />

the fuel pump had failed. I replaced<br />

the fuel pump and again<br />

tried to get a fuel sample.<br />

This time, I got what looked<br />

like a quart of dirty creek water<br />

and some fuel in my sample jar.<br />

Larry had indeed filled his fuel<br />

tank with contaminated fuel. I<br />

continued to drain fuel from the<br />

tank until it no longer contained<br />

water. I again started the engine.<br />

It ran better but had a misfire<br />

on cylinder number three.<br />

The number three injector is<br />

directly under the inlet fuel line.<br />

Any contaminant will affect that<br />

injector first. Typically, whenever<br />

water enters the fuel tank, which<br />

could be a result of moisture condensing<br />

from the air, either in the<br />

car’s tank or that of the gas station,<br />

it is usually only a small amount.<br />

Water doesn’t burn so it will cause<br />

a brief misfire. Unfortunately, a<br />

misfire long enough to set a fault<br />

code in the engine computer and<br />

turn on the Check Engine light.<br />

I prefer not to think about how<br />

many times I chased my tail trying<br />

to diagnose a water-caused misfire<br />

only to find nothing wrong with any<br />

component; the minute amount<br />

of water had long since exited the<br />

tail pipe. Not so with Larry’s S. I<br />

had a sample of absolutely nasty<br />

fuel. With no more water in the<br />

fuel tank, the engine should have<br />

run normally. Larry’s did not.<br />

I pulled the spark plugs out<br />

and performed a compression<br />

test on bank one. Cylinder #3<br />

had only 50 psi of compression<br />

compared to 150 psi in # 1 and<br />

#2. I understand how a bunch<br />

of water could have caused the<br />

fuel pump to fail, but why would<br />

it affect the compression?<br />

This is the type of question<br />

that is posed on the Master Tech<br />

test. I postulated that water had<br />

caused the injector to seize in the<br />

open position and allowed fuel to<br />

collect behind the closed intake<br />

valve. When the valve opened,<br />

the amount of fuel exceeded the<br />

volume of the combustion chamber<br />

resulting in a “hydraulic lock.” A resulting<br />

bent connecting rod would<br />

not allow sufficient compression.<br />

A call to Larry ensued with all of<br />

the gory details. Calls were made<br />

to Big Slurp Corp. and a couple<br />

of attorneys. Big Slurp denied any<br />

responsibility and threatened to<br />

impound the car until any litigation<br />

had concluded (read two years in<br />

civil court!), and the aforementioned<br />

counselors thought $20,000<br />

sounded like a reasonable fee to<br />

pursue the case. No, that’s not the<br />

route Larry and I decided to take.<br />

I pulled the engine out and<br />

removed the 1-3 cylinder head. I<br />

rotated the engine and checked the<br />

“deck height” of all of the pistons<br />

in case there were other casualties.<br />

No, all of the pistons came all of<br />

the way to the top of the cylinders.<br />

What I did find was a broken<br />

intake valve spring on cyl. #3. It<br />

maintained sufficient pressure to<br />

keep the valve from coming loose<br />

from the spring keepers, but the<br />

oil pressure behind the hydraulic<br />

lifter caused the valve to lift off of<br />

the seat, allowing compression loss.<br />

In 45 years of working on Porsche<br />

automobiles, I have only encountered<br />

three broken valve springs.<br />

The water-caused fuel pump failure<br />

and the broken valve spring are<br />

TOTALLY unrelated. Larry had his<br />

heart set on attending the DE at<br />

Circuit of the Americas last spring.<br />

The fuel/valve spring misadventure<br />

precluded that from happening.<br />

In conclusion, I only buy fuel<br />

from the major suppliers, and keep<br />

records of my fuel purchases. The<br />

broken valve spring issue, be it fate,<br />

karma, or the intervention of a<br />

higher power, falls into the “sometimes<br />

things happen that we cannot<br />

understand” category.<br />

Record Broken at the Nürburgring: 918 Spyder<br />

By Thomas Becki, Communication Porsche AG<br />

As the first vehicle to boast global road homologation,<br />

the Porsche 918 Spyder* has conquered<br />

the 20.6-kilometer (12.8-mile) lap around the<br />

Nürburgring Nordschleife in less than seven minutes.<br />

Achieving a time of exactly six minutes and 57<br />

seconds, the super sportscar equipped with a hybrid<br />

drive shaved 14 seconds off the previous record.<br />

Wolfgang Hatz, member of the Porsche AG<br />

Board of Management in charge of Research<br />

and Development, had the following to say:<br />

“We promised a great deal with the 918 Spyder,<br />

namely to redefine driving pleasure, efficiency<br />

and performance. We have kept our word.”<br />

As is always the case with Porsche, the 918 Spyder is<br />

also leading the way for future generations as the latest<br />

in the line of super sportscars. It recently made its<br />

global debut at the International Motor Show (IAA).<br />

With its unique spread, the model blends maximum<br />

driving dynamics with minimal fuel consumption.<br />

By taking the Nürburgring record, the sportscar is<br />

demonstrating the enormous potential that lies in<br />

Porsche’s pioneering plug-in hybrid concept, and is<br />

Photos courtesy Porsche<br />

underpinning the leading role the company enjoys<br />

when it comes to developing sporty hybrid vehicles.<br />

“The radical hybridisation of the 918 Spyder from<br />

the very outset is what made this lap record possible”<br />

says Dr. Frank Walliser, head of the 918 Spyder<br />

project. “The lap time on the Nordschleife is and<br />

remains the toughest measure of a super sportscar.<br />

Posting a time of 6 minutes 57 seconds, we achieved<br />

a result of which everyone in the development<br />

team and at Porsche as a whole is rightly proud.”<br />

28 <strong>October</strong>


Marcus Schurig, editor-in-chief of sportscar magazine<br />

Sport Auto, was on hand as an objective observer of<br />

the record-breaking runs. The two sportscars, which<br />

deliver an output of 887 bhp (652 kW), were equipped<br />

with the optional “Weissach Package” to increase the<br />

driving dynamics, and lead out on the standard Michelin<br />

tires developed specifically for the 918 Spyder.<br />

* 918 Spyder: combined fuel consumption: 3.3~3.0<br />

liters/100 km (71~78 mpg US); combined energy<br />

consumption: 13.0~12.5 kWh/100 km; CO2 emissions:<br />

79~70 g/km<br />

The record, which was previously held for four<br />

years, was even broken during the first attempt in<br />

the test drive on the morning of September 4. All<br />

three drivers -- former European Rally Champion<br />

Walter Röhrl, Porsche test driver Timo Kluck, and<br />

Porsche factory driver Marc Lieb -- were quicker<br />

than the existing record with each lap driving the<br />

two 918 Spyder models used, and posted lap times<br />

of less than seven minutes on numerous occasions.<br />

Ultimately, it was Marc Lieb who posted the absolute<br />

best time of 6:57, driving at an average speed of 179.5<br />

km/h (111.5 mph), as measured by Wige Solutions.<br />
