Shifting Gears: Drivers’ Education – Try It, You’ll Like It! 

By Jim Falgout, Region President 

Wow! Your club is still growing. 

At the end of April we were 

three members shy of 2,400. 

That is great. I hope it is because we 

offer plenty of opportunities for folks 

to enjoy their special auto, a Porsche, 

and fellowship with others. 

Another milestone: this year PCA, Porsche Club of 

America, celebrates its 60th anniversary. PCA is the largest 

auto club for a single marque in the world. 

As I write this, some of our members are on their way 

to Austin to participate or volunteer in the Club Race 

and Solo DE at the Circuit of the Americas racetrack. 

What a great opportunity! Word is that volunteers will 

get to drive on the track during charity laps. If you are 

not familiar with charity laps, let me enlighten you. 

“If you are 

not familiar 

with charity 

laps, let me 

enlighten you. 

They give nonparticipants 

an opportunity 

to see how it 

feels to drive 

their Porsche 

on a track.” 

At all of our Drivers’ Education 

(DE) events, we offer an opportunity 

for both DE participants 

and non-participants to drive 

the course in a follow-the-leader 

formation. It gives participants 

another opportunity to determine 

their lines, and it gives 

non-participants an opportunity 

to see how it feels to drive their 

Porsche on a track. The speed is 

controlled and there is no passing, 

so it does not put any wear 

on the vehicle. I would encourage 

you to go out to our next DE, 

which will be in September, and 

do two things: observe how others are driving on the 

course during the sessions, and then drive in the charity 

laps to see how it feels. (A donation is required to 

participate in charity laps. The funds go to our charity, 

Hope House.) 

Early in my membership, we had 

a Sunday Drive which ended at a 

DE. All of the Sunday Drivers were 

invited to take the charity laps. I 

determined during that event that I 

wanted to really enjoy my Porsche on 

a track, driving it fast in a safe environment. 

I do not get to participate 

in many DE’s but when I do, I really 

enjoy them. 

While we do not have a DE in 

June, we have many other events for 

2 June

you to enjoy your Porsche and fellowship. Please 

check out the calendar in Slipstream or on our website, 

mav.pca.org. 

Of course, I was not going to omit an appeal for volunteers. 

I have challenged all committee chairs to get 

assistants. 

YOUR CLUBS WANTS YOU . . . to get 

involved. You will really be glad you did. 

Mav of the Month 

We have many members who have passion for their 

Porsche and the club. No one exhibits that more than 

our MAV of the MONTH. I asked 

her to take on a committee and she 

has gone above and beyond in fulfilling 

that role. She cares especially 

deeply about new members. Even 

with a career that demands a great 

amount of her time, she finds time 

to not only do an outstanding job 

with her committee, but also help 

other committees. Our MAV of the 

Month is Stephanie Ho. Thank you 

Stephanie for all you do.

Around the Bend... 

By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor 

With an unusally wet spring 

that continued through the 

month of May this year, Mav 

members have had a challenge keeping 

their rides clean after their exercise 

regimen. Fortunately, our drives, 

rallies, and many other club events 

have somehow been able to miss these 

showers and carry on as planned. 

Each month, Slipstream attempts to bring our members 

highlights of the multitude of club happenings as well 

as updates on the many upcoming opportunities for 

your participation. I appreciate the many members who 

serve as authors of these articles in addition to those 

members who actively contribute photographs to provide 

visual interest to the stories. 

Beginning with this issue, I’m going to introduce the 

concept of a “hybrid” magazine. No, don’t worry, theprint 

version of Slipstream you’ve come to know 

and love is not undergoing any radical changes. 

For example, Wendy Shoffit publishes each 

Slipstream in PDF format via our club website. The 

advantage of that version starts with it being in 

full-color and continues with online links being 

available to give you even more content than what is on 

the printed pages. You can get each issue in PDF format 

at http://mav.pca.org/ under the Newsletter tab. 

I’ll also begin including QR codes to enable you to use 

your mobile device to access even more information. 

Search “QR code” to get a reader for your phone or 

other mobile device. 

As an example of the concept for 

the Slipstream hybrid, use this QR 

code to check out what Porsche 

is thinking about a possible 911 

hybrid option with the next scheduled 

update of that model. 

And remember, I provide daily 

updates to remind you of club and other Porsche events 

and news via our Twitter feed at https://twitter.com/ 

MaverickPCA and hashtag of #mavpca. 

Finally, don’t forget to update your wardrobe 

for this summer driving season by visiting our 

online club Goodie Store as noted below. 

Read on to see what’s “around the bend” in this 

month’s issue!

Gimme a Minute: May Board Meeting 

By Wendy Shoffit, Region Secretary May 6, 2015 

President 

Jim Falgout 

started the 

meeting at 6:59 

PM. He continues 

to encourage Event 

Chairs to find assistants 

to help out or 

step in should the 

need arise. 

Secretary Wendy Shoffit reported 

that she and James had a fabulous 

time in Germany, thanks to the support 

of Maverick Region (the trip 

was a raffle prize at the 2012 Founders’ 

Day celebration) and the help 

of Linda Bambina. The Club Race 

at COTA was the following weekend 

and was looking good. We should be 

financially profitable with it. There 

is an upcoming DE on May 23-24 

(Memorial Weekend) that could use 

an entrant boost. 

Autocross Chair Wes Lincoln 

couldn’t attend the meeting, but 

sent a report that the autocross 

school will be Saturday, May 30 (entry 

fee $40) followed by an autocross 

(a “mirror-cross”) on Sunday, May 

31, which is free for school entrants 

and $35 for others. He is also working 

with the BMW club for a combined 

event in the fall. Details to 

come. 

Concours Chair Andy Kay said he 

enjoyed the DE he participated in 

very much and had excellent instruction. 

He reported that the April 

Detailing Clinic at Jack’s Garage had 

about 30 attendees (including some 

new members), which was a great 

success. The May at Mayo’s event 

had 120 for dinner and 38 cars in 

the show. He presented two “Best 

in Show” awards (one for air-cooled 

and one for water-cooled cars). He 

has products generously donated by 

Griot’s Garage to give away at several 

events. Next is Autos in the Park on 

Sunday, June 7 at the Cooper Aerobics 

Center in Dallas. 

Treasurer Richard Solomon said 

we have roughly $137K in the bank. 

We are a little above break-even for 

last year (income versus expenses). 

DE is currently operating with a 

small loss this year, but that should 

change. He suggested we promote 

the Goodie Store more. 

David Robertson filled in for wife, 

Social Chair Tracy Robertson. 

Founders’ Day will again be at Bent 

Tree in November. He also reported 

that May at Mayo’s was a great event. 

PR Chair Linda Bambina commented 

that Jim and Carey are 

doing great with the Slipstream 

schedule! She will be looking for an 

article about the COTA race. She is 

also looking for the Maverick Region 

banners for use at the upcoming 

Autos in the Park event. 

Editor Jim Hirsch expressed his appreciation 

for all the article writers 

and photos sent (complete with captions!). 

We are increasing the print 

number again for mailings, as needed. 

The deadline for the July issue 

will be June 8 (instead of June 10) 

to accommodate his travel schedule. 

He asked about a club calendar that 

was mentioned earlier this year. Distribution 

was discussed, mailing or 

selling in person at Founders’ Day. 

He also mentioned the upcoming 

printed directory. We will give members 

two months to opt out. 

Co-Editor Carey Spreen is glad to 

be Jim’s assistant. To show appreciation 

for the donated goodies, we will 

be sending Griot’s Garage a copy of 

the newsletter each month. 

Sunday Drive Chair Tom Martin 

reported that Neill Flood is his assistant 

and is actively working to 

recruit a few more helpers. The 

April Bluebonnet drive was great. 

Despite a bad forecast, it turned out 

to be good weather. Unfortunately, 

because of the Bluebonnet Festival, 

the roads were a bit too crowded 

and the restaurant that promised 

space was also overwhelmed. That 

won’t be a problem for the May 30 

“Little Ranch on the Prairie” drive, 

which will have a catered meal. That 

event might be the first ever drive 

to make a small profit. A beautiful 

drive is coming up in the fall thanks 

to the help of some of our East Texas 

members. 

Rally Chair Don Sebert said he had 

a wonderful rally on April 25 with a 

great 21-car turnout. George Luxbacher 

is his Rally assistant. At the 

rally they gave trophies out to 5th 

place, plus a “Dead Last But Finished” 

and ”Good Job” award (given 

to enthusiastic new members). Unfortunately, 

they didn’t have a good 

place or time during the event to 

hand out awards, but they will work 

on improving that for next time. 

He has received THREE articles 

for Slipstream about the event. The 

next rally will be in the fall. Check 

back for dates and details. 

Calendar Chair Brendan Eagan 

has worked to improve the look of 

online calendar events, including 

pictures. He will work to get a 6th 

grader to assist, since he admits that 

most 6th graders could do his job! 

DE Chair Chris Tabor has Daren 

Kirbo as an assistant. He commented 

that when picking dates last year for 

this year’s events, he unfortunately 

picked some bad ones, but will work 

to improve that for next year. For 

example, he will be dropping the 

March (spring break) event next 

year. The track costs have gone up 

and attendance has gone down, 

which has put us a bit financially in 

the hole for the year. We will continue 

to encourage DE attendance. 

Mark Schnoerr suggested that we 

promote the gentler side of DEs. 

Drivers do NOT have to beat their 

cars up and run through tires excessively. 

He would also like to promote 

other driving events of interest to 

members. 

Membership Chairs Tom and Susan 

Froehlich reported 1539 primary 

and 857 affiliate members for 

a total of 2396. Slightly down from 

last month. 

Monthly Dinner Social Chair 

Stephanie Ho is excited that the 

event at Lavendou is coming up. She 

has 130 interested, but only 115 slots 

guaranteed. There is great interest 

and wishes there was more space. 

Jim Falgout ended the meeting 

reporting that Stephanie Ho is our 

Mav of the Month. Congratulations! 

Meeting was adjourned.

“ . . . it’s the people”: Team Howard 

By Linda Bambina, PR Chair 

Travis and 

Robyn 

Howard 

have been very 

active members of 

Maverick Region 

since 2003. They 

are approachable, 

dedicated to the club, and excellent 

drivers in a Region filled with many 

top-notch drivers. Their contributions 

to the Region and area are of 

epic proportion. 

“Robyn and Travis have a passion 

for Porsches, but a bigger passion 

for helping others.” - Bryan Bell 

(past AX Chair and Maverick VP) 

Travis has been Time Trial Chair 

since 2008, and in 2013 also assumed 

the position of Autocross 

Chair, stepping down at the end of 

2014. Prior to taking on that additional 

position, he worked very hard 

to train prior AX Chairs and worked 

seamlessly with them to put on great 

driving events. 

Since 2011, Robyn has contributed 

in a major way to the AX/TT program, 

having been the Registrar for 

every event. As 

Registrar, she handles 

all pre-event 

advertising and 

communication 

with registrants. 

The day of the 

event she checks 

them all in, handles 

any classification 

changes, and 

generates the list 

of corner worker 

assignments. She 

often works in the 

timing trailer to 

ensure that the 

official scores are 


correct. All this she does when she’s 

NOT driving IN the event. When she 

drives, she wins her class and tries 

to beat her husband’s times. She 

was even the Region’s Top Ladies’ 

Driver in 2011. Not be outdone, 

Travis won the Mens’ Top Driver the 

following year! Now that’s a great 

driving team! 

Not only did Robyn and Travis run 

the AX/TT events, but they continue 

to participate in other organizations’ 

events to get other ideas and 

build camaraderie. Robyn actively 

promotes our events using social 

media. 

As a couple, they have put on the 

annual Autocross School event since 

2010. This is the introductory level 

event for many new drivers who are 

curious about how these beautiful 

cars are REALLY meant to be driven. 

Not only do they set up the logistics 

of the event, they recruit instructors 

and workers to make it an event that 

is unforgettable for attendees. 

Travis also maintains a critical piece 

of equipment for the program. We 

lovingly call it the “Truxster,” which 

is a step van that houses all of our 

necessary apparatus (cones, timing 

Travis and Robyn at the Monterey Autocross Awards 

Photos by the Author 

devices, flags, loaner helmets, etc.), 

and which requires a great deal of 

maintenance, including fabricating 

door panels from scratch. It’s a constant 

battle keeping the thing moving, 

but he’s always up for the task. 

Robyn has chaired our annual Swap 

Meet event since 2010. She provides 

enthusiasm sweeter than the doughnuts 

they bring in the morning. This 

is a great opportunity for members 

to come find great deals while socializing 

with PCA friends. 

Our Driver Education program was 

enhanced when Travis took over the 

very difficult task as Gridmaster in 

2010. He did such a great job, he 

was invited to be Gridmaster at our 

PCA Club Race that same year. He 

is now “Gridmaster T” at the multiregion 

Club Race at Circuit of the 

Americas. The COTA event is one 

of the largest Club Races in the 

country and Travis, along with wife 

Robyn and a grid team, do a job that 

is second to none. 

Travis and Robyn don’t just care 

about the Porsche Club and its 

members. They are also huge supporters 

of our Region’s charity, the 

Hope House. They find ways during 

the year to raise 

money, and have 

put on a “Run 

What You Brung” 

Charity Autocross 

in years past. During 

their work at 

the DE events, 

Travis sacrifices 

his lunch hour 

(his only break) 

to make sure that 

Charity Laps happen. 

These events 

alone raise hundreds 

of dollars 

for the women’s 

shelter. At our 

annual Founders’

Travis and Robyn with Region VP Gareth Maurice 

stirring up trouble at an All Member Party 

Day event, Robyn is a happy bidder for the silent auction, 

from which all proceeds go directly to the shelter. 

Travis takes it even one giant step further. He considered 

the cause so important that he selected the Hope 

House to be his charity of focus with his employer, who 

matches 50% of Travis’ donations. Travis has even gotten 

three of his co-workers to support the Hope House 

as well, and their donations also receive the company 

match! This is an amazing charity, and the Howards’ 

dedication and support of this cause is evident. 

The Howards aren’t content with owning just one 

Porsche. Their love of the marque has drawn them to 

purchasing SEVEN of them. Travis has chosen for himself 

a 1974 914, 1985 911 Targa, and a 2003 996, while 

Robyn has a 1986 944, 1987 924S, 2002 Boxster S, and 

a 2003 Boxster. Travis’ first Porsche (his self-proclaimed 

mid-life crisis car) was the ‘85 911. Mechanic Travis does 

the work on all of their Porsches (and a few other cars 

we won’t mention here). Their backyard has turned 

into a fabulous looking parking lot -- the envy of the 

neighborhood. 

Maverick Region has realized the importance of the 

contributions made by both Robyn and Travis. As such, 

Travis has been recognized twice as “Maverick of the 

Month” and received the coveted Richard F. Selcer Memorial 

Award in 2013. Robyn was honored with the 

Gregg Murrell Driving Enthusiast Trophy in 2014. 

“I have been going to races almost every year since 

the late 80s and I can say that Travis runs the TT & AX 

as well as the best have done it in the past. Our weekends 

run smoothly and he is the guru who keeps the 

electronics going. To his credit he does two jobs with 

a smile on his face. The Club has lots of great folks— 

Travis is at the front of that pack.” - Richard Diller (30 

yr. Mav, driving 152 miles each way to attend our 

events.)

The Tub Club Gets Creative: Glassblowing at SiNaCa 

By Barbara Madsen 

Twelve Tub 

Club members 

had 

an opportunity on 

April 11 to express 

their creativity 

while attending a 

glass blowing session 

at SiNaCa Studios’ School of 

Glass and Gallery. The studio is 

housed in an antique service station 

close to the historic district in Fort 

Worth. Janet Brown, a Tub Club 

member, organized the event. She 

did a fabulous job of disseminating 

information about the event to 

other members, plus she made sure 

everything ran smoothly on the day 

of the activity. 

Clifton Crofford uses a torch 

to fire polish the imploded bowl 

as Fran Ussery looks on 

Blowing glass is definitely an art, 

and Clifton Crofford from SiNaCa 

Clifton guides Dennis Mokaren as 

he heats the glass in the glory hole 


carefully demonstrated the step-bystep 

process of making a bowl from 

a glob of molten glass, the object 

d’art being made during this session. 

Everyone listened carefully to 

both the instructions and cautions 

in working with hot glass. A long 

metal pole called a blow pipe was 

dipped into a furnace filled with 

molten glass, and there were several 

steps to be followed after this point 

in creating a finished product. 

The process began by adding colored 

crystals to the molten glass, 

and culminated with a unique bowl 

ready to go into the annealer, where 

it would slowly be allowed to cool 

over several hours. Throughout 

each of these steps, SiNaCa employees 

individually guided each person 

Photos by the Author 

Tub Club members watch the demonstration attentively 

Chris Morris observes as Kelley 

McCabe shows her how to shape 

the hot glass before blowing 

during the procedure. Since there 

were four SiNaCa instructors, only 

two people at a time could make 

their bowls. This was still enjoyable 

for the ones waiting, however, as 

everyone could watch the activity repeatedly 

while learning more about 

blowing glass. No two bowls were 

alike, and it was fun to see how different 

color combinations turned 

out. 

After all the bowls were made, Clifton 

gave a brief lesson on glass and 

the history of glass blowing. It was 

both an informative and creative 

day for all who attended.

Bartonville-Frisco Gimmick Rally: A New Rallyist Perspective 

By Meg Moore 

Photo by George Luxbacher 

After a week 

of chilly 

stormy 

weather, the morning 

of the Maverick 

Porsche Rally 

dawned bright and 

dry. Except for the 

rare puddle, it was going to be a 

good day for a rally. 

We pulled into the Bartonville 

Shopping Plaza, and there they 

were, 20 or more sparkling Porsches 

. . . and that little tickle in my stomach 

that I get when I see one is multiplied 

into a frenzy of calm excitement. 

As we walk over to the other 

team members, we visit and enjoy 

Starting point at the 

Bartonville Shopping Plaza 

getting to know new people and 

their different stories of how they 

came to be Porsche owners. 

Rally Co-Chairs Don Sebert and 

George Luxbacher called a drivers’ 

meeting for some general housekeeping, 

to give details of the route, 

and to note what we could expect 

and what we would not encounter. 

They joked about how some couples 

may require therapy afterwards, and 

implored us to try not to take it all too 

seriously. Different acronyms were 

used and defined, and hints were 

dropped. We struggled to absorb 

it all and try not to get too stressed 

over it. Then they handed out the 

packets of rules, cryptic directions, 

24 images of things to make note of 

along the way, score sheet with more 

items to notate, and even a glossary 

-- who’s going to have time for that? 

One of the tiebreaker elements was 

to circle each state we “drive over, 

through or by” and my husband immediately 

said, “Oh my gosh, they 

have us going all the way to Oklahoma!” 

The other tiebreaker was 

to count all of the birdhouses along 

the way. As the navigator, I freaked a 

little at the thought of that. 

We reviewed all those pages (so 

many pages) quickly and walked to 

our car, telling ourselves that we’re 

not going to take this too seriously. 

It’s all for fun, right? Then we got in 

the line-up of beautiful cars to take 

our turn at the fun. Just listening 

to two dozen Porsches idle is worth 

it, then to look around and see 

passersby stop and point is kind of 

heady. Of course most Porsche owners 

don’t get a car for that reason, 

it’s just the love of the machine; it 

can still make you feel proud. 

The route was amazing, bringing 

that old song, “Over the river 

and through the woods…” 

to life. Beginning in the 

contemporary community 

of Lantana, we quickly 

found ourselves in a much 

more rural setting, passing 

by horse ranches and 

farmland. Then before we 

knew it we were crossing a 

bridge over a now-full Lake 

Lewisville. We passed, and 

took note of “fantasyful” 

birdhouses, billboards that 

seemed out of place, rusty 

tractors that looked like 

huge pieces of art, signs 

that filled us with relief that 

we were still on the right 

path, storefronts that were 

straight out of yesterday, 

and so on. With just over 

68 miles racked up, we 

ended at the Museum of 

the American Railroad in 

Frisco. 

There were Don and George again, 

accepting our score sheets and asking 

how we liked the rally. We chatted 

a bit, then headed over to the 

railroad museum. We toured giant 

steam locomotives, diesel locomotives, 

passenger cars, a caboose, and 

the once first class of the railways, 

Pullman cars, all brought to life by 

a very knowledgeable guide. Hungry, 

we made our way over to Babe’s 

Chicken to join the club for a hearty 

meal and exchange stories of the 

rally. We were amused to learn that 

we tied for second place with two 

other teams. Remember those tiebreakers? 

Well, we walked away with 

a 3rd place award! 

At the end of the day, it’s not for an 

award, it’s entirely for the adventure, 

sights, and fellowship that we 

participate. Thank you Maverick 

Region for another wonderful 

event. We are proud to be members 

and fortunate to be Porsche 

owners!

Saturday Drive: Ennis Bluebonnet Tour 

By Neill Flood, Sunday Drive Co-Chair 

Spring driving 

tours can 

sometimes be 

a little tricky due to 

the increased possibility 

of rain, but 

we were truly fortunate 

with the Ennis 

Bluebonnet Tour as blue skies were 

plentiful on a gorgeous Saturday. 

The event began at an abandoned 

bank parking lot in Hutchins, where 

we counted 54 Porsches. I’ve always 

looked forward to seeing the variety 

of cars that 

attend these 

events, and this 

tour was no different, 

with aircooled 

911s up 

to the current 

model lineup 

present. Once 

everyone had 

the opportunity Drive Co-Chairs 

to do some tire Neill Flood and 

kicking and Tom Martin 

chat, Tom Martin 

gave us a 

brief the group 

safety briefing, and we were off! 

With this drive, there was an emphasis 

on taking in the excellent 

scenery and each attendee was encouraged 

to bring a camera to capture 

the sights. The route was about 

85 miles and included straights and 

of course some twisty sections for 

everyone’s enjoyment. I’ve heard a 

A few of the gathering of 

54 Porsches in the drive 


Two yellow Porsches hoping 

for some good contrast 

with the Bluebonnets 

lot about how beautiful the fields 

of Bluebonnets are in this part of 

the state, and this drive didn’t disappoint. 

In fact, the rolling hills of 

bright floral colors must be seen 

especially when the Bluebonnets 

are in full bloom. Each drive group 

made several stops along the route 

to allow everyone the opportunity 

to stretch their legs and snap a few 

photos. I was surprised to see the 

amount of tourists we experienced 

on the remote country roads, and 

even a couple of chartered buses 

Stopping along the drive to grab 

some great photo ops 

(Photo by Kevin Creed) 

joined us on the winding route. It 

was actually quite amusing to see 

some of the tourists taking pictures 

of our cars, as it appeared they were 

as much of an attraction as the Bluebonnets. 

Being a drive leader on this tour was 

actually somewhat of a challenge to 

find the “best” parking spots to take 

photos, as there were so many sce- 

Photos by George and Dee Luxbacher 

nic opportunities to be found. Each 

stopping point included unique settings 

from rolling hills to rustic farm 

houses. My favorite spot was an old 

abandoned house just off the road, 

with Bluebonnets everywhere! 

The final destination was at Bubba’s 

Bar-B-Q in Ennis. The Barbecue 

choices at Bubba’s were numerous, 

along with traditional items such as 

brisket and sausage. The food and 

service at Bubba’s was great and the 

restaurant did a nice job of accom- 

Capturing John Harvey in 

his Carrera Cabriolet while 

moving is quite a feat 

modating us. This was also a good 

opportunity to catch up with fellow 

Maverick members, another reason 

the driving tours are so fun. 

Special thanks 

to the drive 

leaders and 

sweeps who help 

make the tours 

possible.

Destination Restoration: 

A Suspension Odyssey Part 6: Brake Caliper Rebuild 

By Ash Seidl-Staley 

The long awaited article about 

rebuilding brake calipers has 

arrived—well part one of it 

at least! As previously mentioned in 

other articles, I will only be focusing 

on how to rebuild the front calipers, 

although the procedures outlined below 

could be used on the rear calipers 

in a very similar manner. 

Questions you might ask yourself are why and when 

should I rebuild my calipers? More often than not your 

car’s calipers will be just fine, even with years and years 

of use. Many well-maintained and regularly driven cars 

have fully functioning calipers that last beyond the life 

time of the car. Cars that spend their days sitting inoperable, 

decaying in fields, and forever stay on the back 

burner have a higher chance of calipers rusting and 

seizing. 

A general rule would be to check the condition of the 

caliper and its pistons when you are changing brake 

pads. When looking, take note of the overall condition 

of the caliper, making sure to document the existence 

of any chips or rust spots on or around the piston faces. 

A little surface rust is actually ok, 

but if there are any heavier areas or 

deep pitting the caliper will probably 

need replaced. In other drastic 

cases you might find that the 

pistons on your caliper are acting 

like they are stuck, i.e. they won’t 

go in when you try to press them 

back into their housings. This was 

the case with my car’s brakes. The 

driver’s side caliper had a stuck 

piston that just wouldn’t budge. 

Rusty piston 

Rather than spend many dollars on a refurbished set 

of calipers, I decided to tackle the rebuild myself. To 

my surprise the process is actually quite simple, and if 

you’re lucky you won’t even have to split the caliper into 

its two halves. 

To start the rebuild you must first get the caliper off of 

the car. As always, start by safely jacking up the car. Then 

remove the wheel, unbolt the caliper from the strut assembly, 

and pop it off the brake disc, all the while taking 

care not to bend or break the metal brake line. Taking 

a 10mm wrench, carefully back out the brake line bolt/ 

plug on the back of the caliper. Be sure to have extra 

rags underneath the caliper and around you as these 

next steps can get a little messy. Remove the bolt/plug 

Photo by the Author 

that feeds brake fluid into the caliper and set your caliper 

down, being careful not to let brake fluid gush out 

everywhere. 

Some tips to stop the fluid from freely flowing out of 

the brake line include: crimping the rubber brake line 

coming from the inner fender well, rigging a system 

to keep the brake pedal in the cabin depressed, or my 

personal favorite, plug up the bolt with one of the cars 

brake bleeder grommets. 

Once you find your method and have removed the 

caliper, take it over to your work station and let the remaining 

fluid drain out of the caliper. Now it is time for 

the fun part - getting pistons out of their housings. This 

step can be difficult with a stuck piston but with a little 

patience all can be achieved. Take a small screwdriver 

and pop off the retaining clip and rubber boot that surround 

the pistons. Take a C-clamp and clamp down one 

of the pistons to keep it in its housing, and then place 

a small block of wood in between the pistons. Hook up 

the hose from an air compressor to the hole where the 

brake line was attached and slowly blow air in to get the 

piston to creep out. Before it falls completely out, take 

the C-clamp off of the piston while still in its housing 

and gently attach it to the extended piston. This keeps 

the extended piston from moving, and keeps the necessary 

vacuum needed to push the other piston out. Next, 

pump in some more air and eventually you should have 

two extended pistons on your caliper. Remove the wood 

block and take a rag and pull out each piston. A pair 

of vise-grips can be used but take care not to scratch or 

score the smooth sides of the pistons. 

If an air compressor is unavailable to you, you can hook 

the caliper back up to the car sans brake pads, and have 

someone push down on the brake pedal. Similar to the 

previous method take care not to let just one piston fall 

out of the caliper. This process should extend the pistons 

enough to get a grip on them for removal. If neither 

of these methods has dislodged the stuck piston a 

final, more barbaric method would be to split the caliper 

into its two halves, and hit the back side of the calipers 

with a 2X4 or something similar. You might laugh 

at this procedure but I have done it and it works wonders, 

especially for a stubborn 40+ year old rusty 914 

caliper.Now that you have separated the caliper and the 

pistons it is time to clean everything, and replace the 

inner housing seal. Unfortunately we are out of space 

for this month, so stay tuned for the caliper clean up 

and reinstallation in next month’s issue!

Maverick Monthly Social: Shuck N Jive 

By Zydeco Boudreaux 

Bonjours, tout 

le monde! 

C’est ton bon 

ami, Zydeco Boudreaux. 

Comment 

ça va aujourd’hui? 

Mais cher, Mardi 

Gras may be over, 

but dat don’t mean we can’t laissez 

les bons temps rouler, n’est- ce pas? 

Again...even with the threat of 

thunderstorm, about 80 

fun-loving Porsche owners 

attended our April Social event 

No, no, cher. Le bon restaurant 

Shuck-n-Jive hosted the April social, 

so Maverick members could 

celebrate la 

joie de vivre 

avec good 

friends and 

good food 

and drink, 

and “make 

the veiller,” 

as we say en 

Ville. 

Some handsome 

Porsche attendees 

About 80 

Mavericks attended the event, and 

tout les Porsches lined up in the 

parking lot, like sparkling jewels, in 

First-time attendee Bob Kuykendall, 

Maverick Monthly Social Chair 

Stephanie Ho, new member 

Jeffrey Komenda, Matthew Cords 

the section cordoned off for us by le 

meilleur hôtesse Stephanie Ho. 

We feasted on some bonne cuisine 

Cajun; les fruits de mer, or 

“marecage”, as we call it dans le 

bayou. Regarde le menu; il y’a les 

tooloeloe, sea bob, costeau, mashwarohn, 

gumbo; even some jambalaya, 

étouffée, andouille sausage, 

et le blackened poulet. Mais cher, 

dere’s some good eatin’ -- woo whee 

-- I gar-aun-tee! Et bien sûr, there 

was rice avec tout les entrees! Just 

like back home, when ta mère starts 

cooking rice while she makes coffee 

in the morning, even though she 

don’t have any idea what she’s serving 

for dinner. 

The food was spiced nicely, but not 

spicy enough for this Cajun palate. 

Photos by Stephanie Ho 

Like I tell my cousin Thibodeaux; 

when I’m in Dallas and take a bite 

of some of dere five-alarm chili, I 

always end up reaching for some Tabasco 

to heat it up! Mais cher, dere 

is some spicy victuals -- woo whee -- I 

gar-aun-tee! 

You know cher, when Porsche wants 

to make a smaller version of one of 

dere models, they call the prototype 

a “jun”, as in “junior”. So when they 

decided to make a smaller version of 

the Cayenne, they named it a “Cajun”. 

I think that name was better 

than “Macan,” mais non?

The next Maverick Social is at the 

Love & War in Grapevine, where ils 

parlent anglais au Texas I don’t understand

oui”?
