Tech Session Recap: The Porsche Physical by Scott Kerfoot photos provided by author and Michael Baynton The almost monthly Maverick Region tech session happened June 29 at the family-owned Porsche (and other) shop Fifth Gear in Lewisville, focusing on “The Porsche Physical.” While there were at least a few other events happening on the same day, the 75 members in attendance received the benefit of having the full staff that are decades old. Conversations about how to detect when things are wearing, whether replacements are DIY jobs or better left to someone with the myriad of special tools were common. Even topics such as where to look for oil leaks, when a leak might be bad, and how some of the common leaks are remedied came up for discussion. from Fifth Gear on hand. The newly renovated shop, with an updated waiting area, fresh and clean work area, and--most importantly on this hot and humid morning-- awesome air conditioning throughout the building was a great location for learning about our cars. The entire Fifth Gear staff was engaged throughout the event, imparting wisdom about both water-cooled (left) and air-cooled (right) Porsches, which were separated by Fifth Gear’s Wasser-Luft line. Those on the right side had great conversations about how to give their classics a physical while those on the left stayed focused on learning about their modern machines from the underside. Luckily, the Maverick Region collectors in attendance who enjoy both air and water helped keep us focused on what the region is known for: building friendship across that line. The level of detail in the Luft discussions was down to bushings, bearings, and seals, with discussions on some of the obvious and not-so-obvious parts that can wear on cars On the Wasser side of the line, the conversations focused on maintenance intervals, how to perform regular maintenance, what things technicians see from a wear perspective on modern cars, as well as discussions about preparing for track or DE days. A big thank you to the Fifth Gear staff, who prepared great conversation points, had all their experts present, answered lots of questions, and set up the shop to provide a great tech session that was both comfortable and safe.
