Editor’s Notes<br />
Story by Garey Cooper<br />
Garey, Maxine and Daughter-in-law<br />
A Tower in the Sky<br />
High atop the gleaming tower, where<br />
wind and sun search and scour. Steel<br />
and glass the heights surpass. Ceaseless<br />
and enquiring, our minds empowering<br />
the search for mirth and automotive lark;<br />
again upon a new month start.<br />
And to think all <strong>this</strong> occurs while far<br />
below the ebb and flow of normal folk, in<br />
normal poke, race along to normal fates,<br />
away from us and our exotic dates.<br />
An American in America<br />
I am writing <strong>this</strong> column while still<br />
on something of a “high”, at least<br />
metaphorically speaking. Mrs. Cooper<br />
and I recently accompanied my beautiful<br />
daughter-in-law to her naturalization<br />
ceremony in Los Angeles. Linda comes<br />
from another country and has come to<br />
be American in heart and by choice. It is<br />
sad to say, but having been born here and<br />
being American by many generations, so<br />
far as I can tell, the full and meaningful<br />
impact of <strong>this</strong> status only comes to me<br />
by seeing some others who choose to be<br />
American. The cynic might say that they<br />
do it for money and jobs as much as by<br />
consideration of our traditions and values.<br />
However if you go to the ceremony and<br />
see the tears and joy that are so evident,<br />
you might, perhaps, like me become a<br />
little less cynical about it all. For the<br />
three of us, at least in our little nucleus of<br />
family, there were tears aplenty and while<br />
trying to be “manly” attempting to choke<br />
my tears back; they still flowed. We left<br />
feeling absolutely renewed and I thought<br />
of what it means to be an American, a<br />
citizen of the United States and made<br />
a pledge to try to not take it for granted<br />
after witnessing so many who came from<br />
someplace else and worked to have a<br />
little bit of the dream.<br />
Speaking of cynicism some years<br />
ago I visited Fredericksburg and walked<br />
the hillside up to the hill called “Marye<br />
Heights”. At that time and I imagine<br />
still today, it is quite easy to see the<br />
Rappahannock river and the slope<br />
leading up to the heights. The slope<br />
along which the Union soldiers advanced<br />
into an impenetrable wall of musket and<br />
cannon fire. So impenetrable that many<br />

The Art of Detailing:<br />
Not a Madison Avenue Proposition - Part II<br />
Story by Moe Mystry<br />
<strong>In</strong> our previous article, we discussed<br />
what happens when the consumer price<br />
hunts for a specialized service resulting<br />
in a detailer falling into that trap. We also<br />
talked about what the majority of the<br />
price of a detail is comprised of, detailer<br />
knowledge and workmanship.<br />
<strong>In</strong> <strong>this</strong> article, we’ll discuss what<br />
you end up paying for at different price<br />
points and how they impact five key<br />
areas of distinguish: product quality,<br />
detailer experience, level of attention,<br />
liability insurance and detailer’s future<br />
existence.<br />
Different price points are a result<br />
of the detailer’s market, experience and<br />
level of service. My assumption is an<br />
average Porsche in Southern California;<br />
997 Carrera S, black, detailed 6-8 months<br />
ago and has been washed by a local wash<br />
guy that comes to the office. There are<br />
microswirls and light scratches around<br />
the car. The interior has never been<br />
treated.<br />
We’ll be gauging the detail in areas<br />
such as:<br />
• Product Quality: The quality of<br />
the products used will dictate the level<br />
of protection, the overall “look” of the<br />
detail and durability. Usually, the higher<br />
the quality of ingredients, the longer<br />
your car will look great; <strong>this</strong> means more<br />
value.<br />
• Detailer Experience: Since our<br />
industry isn’t regulated, you don’t really<br />
know how experienced the detailer<br />
REALLY is until he’s working on your<br />
car. The more skill and expertise a<br />
detailer has, the greater the cost of the<br />
detail. This translates to more value<br />
for you. If your detailer has experience<br />
with your type of car, the quicker he can<br />
remedy the situation that needs attention.<br />
<strong>In</strong> other words, the job is done right the<br />
first time.<br />
• Level of Attention (Time): The<br />
longer a detailer can spend time on your<br />
car, the greater the attention. When the<br />
detailer isn’t rushed from job to job, he<br />
can truly focus on the car at hand. The<br />
average proper detail should not be less<br />
than four hours without paint correction,<br />
it’s usually around five to six hours,<br />
depending on the level of service and<br />
number of detailers working. If paint<br />
correction is involved, expect 12-30<br />
man-hours.<br />
• Liability: This is insurance<br />
to cover both the vehicle and others. If<br />
there are any accidents or unforeseen<br />
incidents and if the work is being done on<br />
your premises, you are liable. An insured<br />
detailer has a liability policy reducing or<br />
eliminating the client’s liability. A good<br />
policy will be from a reputable company<br />
and should cover damages to the vehicle<br />
and persons in the area. A good <strong>In</strong>surance<br />
policy for detailers is very expensive.<br />
We are categorized in the same class as<br />
repair shops and mechanics. There is no<br />
classification for auto detailing because<br />
it’s an industry with little or no regulation.<br />
Most detailers don’t even have a business<br />
checking account or business license.<br />
• Detailer’s Future Existence:<br />
Depending on the geographic region, a<br />
large portion of the price you pay for a<br />
detail needs to be invested back into the<br />
company. A smart detailer understands<br />
<strong>this</strong> and values the future of the company.<br />
<strong>In</strong>vestments in technology, labor and<br />
marketing are a few areas where the<br />
dollars go to. This way, the detailer you<br />
used a year ago will be around <strong>this</strong> year<br />
and many years to come.<br />
Below are some examples of what<br />
the price point gets you:<br />
$125 price point:<br />
• Product Quality: Products are usually<br />
a notch above the consumer lines<br />
found in auto parts store. Mainly,<br />
cheaper chemicals that are less<br />
effective. <strong>In</strong> the long run, you can<br />
expect <strong>this</strong> level of product to last a<br />
few weeks.<br />
• Detailer Experience: Usually just<br />
starting out and needing to have a<br />
low price to get business. If already<br />
established, in desperate need of<br />
business.<br />
• Level of Attention: Little to none.<br />
Time is of the essence here. For<br />
someone to be profitable at <strong>this</strong> price<br />
point, volume is the key. If mobile, by<br />
the time one factors in gas, product<br />
cost, taxes, advertising, etc., there is<br />
only a modest profit to survive. If a<br />
brick-and-mortar, barely enough to<br />
cover fixed costs and overhead.<br />
• Liability: Usually none. <strong>In</strong>surance is<br />
very expensive for detailers.<br />
• Future Existence: When all the costs<br />
and wages are factored in, little to<br />
no money can be allocated to the<br />
business. Hence, why there are so<br />
many fly-by-night detailers.<br />
$300 price point:<br />
• Product Quality: Products are<br />
somewhat improved. We now get<br />
into the ProSumer line of products.<br />
These products perform leaps and<br />

How to Clean H5 Lights<br />
Story and photos by Cooper Boggs and Kevin Torre<br />
1987-1989 911 H5 Headlight Cleaning<br />
Do you own an ’87-’89 911 Carrera/930<br />
Turbo? Have you noticed that your<br />
headlights look hazy or milky? Porsche<br />
used the Bosch H5 headlight assembly<br />
on these 911 series cars. The H5 is the<br />
US Spec. DOT approved version of the<br />
popular European H4 headlight assembly.<br />
The H5 lights are a sealed lamp, however,<br />
over years of use, moisture can get inside<br />
and create a residue on the inner lens of<br />
the light. Cooper Boggs and Kevin Torre<br />
teamed up to clean the lights on Kevin’s<br />
recently acquired 1987 911 Targa.<br />
screws. These should NOT be removed<br />
or adjusted during the cleaning! The<br />
headlight ring screw is typically a captive<br />
screw. Don’t worry if you loosen it for it<br />
won’t come completely out of the ring.<br />
To remove the ring from the car<br />
takes a little finesse. Years of grime and<br />
wax residue can make the ring really<br />
stick to the gasket at the fender. Once the<br />
screw is loose, push down on the top of<br />
the trim ring and using your fingers try to<br />
carefully pry each side of the ring away<br />
from the fender. The ring is hooked at<br />
the top of the fender onto a small lip. Tip<br />
the ring out at the bottom and then lift it<br />
straight up at the top.<br />
with it. They are retained with a small<br />
nylon washer. If you drop one into the<br />
bucket, don’t panic, they often fall out<br />
the bottom drain hole onto the ground<br />
under the front of the car.<br />
Step one is to gather all of the items<br />
you will need. These include a Philips<br />
screwdriver, a magnetic pick up tool, a<br />
long flat blade screwdriver, mechanics<br />
fingers or needle nose pliers, glass cleaner,<br />
paper towels, a soft bristled brush or tooth<br />
brush, anti-seize and a couple of q-tips.<br />
Next we will remove the headlight<br />
trim ring from the car. This is accomplished<br />
by removing the single Philips screw at<br />
the bottom of the ring. Please note, the<br />
two rubber caps on the top and side of the<br />
ring allow access to the headlight aiming<br />
Once the trim ring is removed you<br />
will see the headlight unit itself. The glass<br />
lens of the H5 is bonded to the reflector<br />
housing. Six more screws should now<br />
be visible. It is important to identify the<br />
two adjustment screws and NOT move<br />
them. You can do <strong>this</strong> by looking at the<br />
position of the rubber grommets in the<br />
trim ring and their relationship to the<br />
screws underneath.<br />
The other four screws are more<br />
deeply recessed and evenly spaced at<br />
the upper and lower right and left of the<br />
headlight unit. These four screws hold<br />
the headlight carrier assembly to the<br />
fender bucket. To remove these use your<br />
Philips screwdriver. The screws should<br />
be captive to the carrier. It is handy to<br />
have a magnetic pick up tool near by in<br />
case you realize the screws are loose.<br />
Each screw has a flat and lock washer<br />
Once the headlight unit is loose, you<br />
will need to unplug the wiring harness<br />
from the bulb. This is accomplished by<br />
squeezing on the connector and wiggling<br />
it loose.<br />

Losing Control and the Happiness That Follows<br />
Story by <strong>John</strong> <strong>Ortiz</strong><br />
Having owned 3 Boxsters, I figured I<br />
knew how to corner in a Porsche. That<br />
thought, along with a few expletives,<br />
flew right out the window as I entered<br />
a freeway ramp with the tail end of my<br />
911SC whipped out to where my front<br />
end should have been. Fortunately, I just<br />
had to hang a quick u-turn before I was<br />
on my way again. Good thing the smell<br />
of sweat and fear doesn’t linger long with<br />
the windows down.<br />
Like many Porsche owners, my<br />
attraction to German cars started early<br />
on. My older brothers (Dave & Rick)<br />
both drove Volkswagens when I was a kid<br />
so it was natural for me to do the same.<br />
I had a powder blue Squareback that<br />
Rick and I lowered, painted the wheels<br />
and replaced the fuel injection with dual<br />
Solexes. However, it was Rick’s 1/4 mile<br />
drags in his VW (with a built 1835) that<br />
got me hooked on speed.<br />
My parent’s house always had a VW parked<br />
out front<br />
Flash forward to an early morning<br />
in March of 2011. I’m pulling into Cars<br />
& Coffee to park my Porsche along side<br />
likewise cars. It’s sprinkling and the<br />
turnout is light. I duck for shelter under<br />
a tree and strike up a conversation with a<br />
complete stranger who turns out to be a<br />
fellow PCA member and SC owner. What<br />
followed was a spirited conversation<br />
with Dave Waddell about autocrossing<br />
at El Toro. I had heard of the events but<br />
was intimidated by the idea of getting<br />
out there. Dave’s enthusiasm and “just<br />
come have fun” attitude sold me on the<br />
idea (and I suppose <strong>this</strong> is a good time to<br />
admit that <strong>this</strong> is the same morning I had<br />
spun-out entering the freeway).<br />
Being the cautious planner that I am,<br />
I read a few articles on how to autocross<br />
and watched my share of online videos<br />
featuring the sport. I then prepared my<br />
car by having the driver’s seat lowered.<br />
This wasn’t absolutely necessary, but I<br />
wanted to be comfortable driving while<br />
wearing a helmet. I also swapped the<br />
steering wheel with a MOMO and set<br />
aside a few bucks to buy a helmet. I<br />
knew loaners would be available but<br />
my inner planner told me, “Buy one in<br />
case they don’t have a size to fit your fat<br />
head”. All the while my wife, <strong>Christina</strong>,<br />

AHH YES!... Finally it is Saturday<br />
February 18, <strong>2012</strong>. The long cold<br />
Southern California winter, that kept us in<br />
our garages from mid December to mid<br />
February, is finally over and we can look<br />
forward to the start of the Orange Coast<br />
Region driving events. The start of each<br />
new season offers OCR members the<br />
opportunity to participate in the annual<br />
OCR Drivers Clinic at El Toro Fields.<br />
This is a great event for young and old<br />
Porsche owners alike… and young and<br />
old porsches! The event is well planned<br />
and is the result of a lot of hard work<br />
by OCR’s Chief Driving instructors<br />
Richard & Dennis Neff and is supported<br />
by their highly trained staff and cadre<br />
of instructors. The event planning and<br />
instructor training day was held earlier<br />
in the year with excellent attendance for<br />
new and returning OCR instructors.<br />
The Drivers Clinic is a great starting<br />
point for anyone to learn better car control<br />
and to have fun with their Porsche.<br />
Students were provided an instructor<br />
for the day. During the morning session<br />
drivers are challenged by various car<br />
control exercises and a wet skid pad,<br />
which allows them to learn the limits of<br />
their cars traction. This was followed by<br />
the “traditional” pizza lunch, (just like<br />
at the Ferrari club meetings) seems like<br />
lunch should have been bratwurst and<br />
Chief Driving instructor Dennis Neff<br />
sauerkraut. After lunch,<br />
a mini-Auto-X course<br />
was set up for students<br />
to practice their newly<br />
learned skills. This is more<br />
fun than you can imagine<br />
and everyone is given the opportunity to<br />
practice these driving skills as they work<br />
the course.<br />
A great time was had by all and<br />
many of the students returned the next<br />
day to participate<br />
in the first event of<br />
the <strong>2012</strong> Walter’s<br />
Porsche Auto-X<br />
C h a m p i o n s h i p<br />
Series. You are<br />
invited to come out<br />
to any event play<br />
with your Porsche.<br />
We will provide you<br />
with a loaner helmet<br />
and a friendly<br />
instructor. See<br />
the <strong>2012</strong> schedule<br />
elsewhere in <strong>this</strong><br />
<strong>issue</strong>. Please don’t wait till next year to<br />
come have fun with your Porsche!<br />
Kicking off the Walter’s Porsche Auto-<br />

SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! We are<br />
here LIVE at El Toro Fields to bring you<br />
the first <strong>2012</strong> Walter Porsche OCR Auto-<br />
X Championship Event! With Porsche<br />
engines warming up in the background,<br />
(Vroom – Vroom) the air was electric as<br />
the announcers voice echoed across the<br />

Walter’s Porsche Hosts <strong>2012</strong> AutoCross Party<br />
Story by Bob Scheussler & Photos by Lisa Goetsch<br />
The 2011 Walter’s Porsche Autocross<br />
Series Awards Party was hosted for the<br />
fourth consecutive year by Walter’s<br />
Porsche in Riverside, on February 25.<br />
Our Awards party marked the first event<br />
in Walter’s newly remodeled Porsche<br />
showroom and included Walter’s official<br />
unveiling of the new Porsche 991. Over<br />
75 drivers, family members and friends<br />
attended <strong>this</strong> annual event to relive the<br />
2011 Autocross season and celebrate<br />
victories with the award winners. After<br />
enjoying the beautiful selection of food<br />
and beverages provided by Walter’s,<br />
the group was welcomed by Walter’s<br />
Porsche Audi General Manager, Ed<br />
McRae. Ed remarked how pleased<br />
Walter’s is with relationship the Orange<br />
Coast Region has enjoyed with Walter’s<br />
and they look forward to their fifth year<br />
of PCAOCR Sponsorship in <strong>2012</strong>. Ed<br />
stated he believes that our association<br />
has been beneficial for both Walter’s and<br />
the Club.<br />
Ed then introduced Walter Kienle,<br />
the Walter in Walter’s, who unveiled<br />
the new 991for Club members. Walter<br />
entertained the audience with a few of his<br />
many Porsche experiences over the years<br />
during his journey from New York City<br />
mechanic to becoming the successful<br />
owner of Walter’s Automotive Group.<br />
Walter also mentioned that he is proud to<br />
be associated with our Club and offered<br />
many kind words of encouragement and<br />
praise for our Autocross program!<br />
Bob Scheussler next presented a<br />
Sponsors Trophy to Walter Kienle and<br />
awarded Sponsor jackets to eighteen<br />
Walter’s employees in recognition of<br />
their individual contributions to the<br />

untold hours to develop & support our<br />
website. Drew Jorgenson, owner and<br />
founder, accepted a Sponsor trophy and<br />

Book Review:<br />
PORSCHE and ME<br />
Article by Bruce Herrington<br />
Porsche and Me – Hans Mezger, an<br />
Autobiography with Peter Morgan,<br />
published by PMM Books,, Malborough,<br />
Great Britain.<br />
The long awaited ‘autobiography’ of<br />
Hans Mezger is now available. Porsche<br />
and Me is virtually a picture book with<br />
many illustrations of cars, components,<br />
engineering drawings (which identify<br />
the pun in the book’s title), and award<br />
certificates. It presents a richly personal<br />
account of the work life of a very<br />
dedicated member of the Porsche family.<br />
It is not truly the autobiography of Hans<br />
Mezger, the person, but rather that of<br />
Hans Mezger, Design Engineer. It may<br />
not fulfill all the expectations of those<br />
who have awaited <strong>this</strong> book’s arrival<br />
– it is not a how-to of engine design, it<br />
does not tabulate the day to day life of a<br />
Porsche Employee, it does not chronicle<br />
the growth of Porsche from struggling<br />
specialty manufacturer to a major<br />
automotive powerhouse. But it<br />
does touch on all of these <strong>issue</strong>s,<br />
as well as talk about the process<br />
of designing racing engines and<br />
the cars into which they were<br />
installed.<br />
So why should a Porschephille<br />
care about a biography of Hans<br />
Mezger? His may not be a household<br />
name, but after 37 years with<br />
Porsche, his engineering designs<br />
are part of every Porschephille’s<br />
house garage. Perhaps Ferdinand<br />
K Piëch (grandson of Ferdinand<br />
Porsche and currently the Chairman of<br />
the supervisory board of Volkswagen<br />
Group that now owns Porsche) said it<br />
best: “Without Hans Mezger, Porsche<br />
wouldn’t be renowned worldwide as the<br />
ultimate in sports cars.” Hans Mezger is<br />
widely acknowledged as the ‘father’ of<br />
the 911 engine. This book documents<br />
some of his less well know achievements:<br />
the design of the 917 engine, the TAG<br />
Formula 1 V-6 and many, many detail<br />
refinements of a variety of products built<br />
for Porsche cars and contract customers.<br />
<strong>In</strong> 1956, as a fresh engineering<br />
graduate, Mezger was hired to work in<br />

Center Loc To 5 Stud - M96-97 Chip Detector<br />
Hot Air Socket Now Metal<br />
Story by Lee Rice<br />
April is upon us “Porsche pushers”<br />
once again and it is the 100th anniversary<br />
of the loss of RMS Titanic. Aren’t we glad<br />
to live in our modern world of computer<br />
technology where passenger ships don’t<br />
sink anymore? No one could possibly<br />
foresee the failure of 1912 technology<br />
on that fateful night so long ago, but that<br />
“unsinkable” attitude changed the way<br />
we think today.<br />
I became aware of <strong>this</strong> as I grew up<br />
in the aviation world because my father<br />
was a maintenance officer for a P-51<br />
fighter facility in England during WWII<br />
and also flew combat missions in B-17s<br />
and got 5.5 aerial kills credited. My dad<br />
taught my brother and me to never forget<br />
that it is “the thing you don’t see that<br />
is usually going to get you.” Whether<br />
that was a Me 109 or an unforeseen<br />
malfunction of a P-51s Rolls-Royce<br />
Merlin engine was what kept him awake<br />
at night. Today reliance on computer<br />
run Porsches, and everything else, is not<br />
“unsinkable” either.<br />
Computers: I love ‘em! I and many<br />
‘gray hair’ Porsche owners can tell you,<br />
we didn’t have computers “back in<br />
the day” and had to know mechanical<br />
engineering to know how to maintain<br />
a 356 Super. Those wonderful running<br />
machines were all mechanical and also<br />
had personalities. The only way you<br />
knew that a 356 Super or 2.0L 911S<br />
was running right was to listen to them<br />
run and know by the sounds and how<br />
the engine responded. Then you knew<br />
everything was running right. Those<br />
wonderful 356 Solex carburetors got out<br />
of “tune” every year or two, and finding<br />
a reliable mechanic was not enough. You<br />

Feature Losing Control:<br />
(Continued from Page 9)<br />
Lined up at Irvine’s Cars and Coffee<br />
was witness to a transformation and<br />
probably wondering what had gotten into<br />
her husband.<br />
Around that same time, I attended<br />
Fontana’s Festival of Speed with a few<br />
friends. I parked in the display area and<br />
enjoyed being close to the action. My<br />
friends and I test drove three different,<br />
mid-engine Porsches in the miniautocross<br />
area and took track tours with<br />
professional Porsche drivers. I even drove<br />
the track in my car during the lunchtime<br />
tour… a memory I can best equate to a<br />
first kiss.<br />
Lunchtime track tour at Fontana<br />
Back in the display area, I met a<br />
gentleman that took a liking to my car.<br />
After chatting a bit I realized that <strong>this</strong><br />
guy drove the red SC I had spotted in my<br />
neighborhood. And so it was, I had finally<br />
met Ken “Fast Freddy” Fredrickson.<br />
Like Dave, he was quick to invite me to<br />
Autocross at El Toro. Since then, I’ve<br />
seen Ken at several PCA events and I<br />
can genuinely tell you that there are few<br />
people friendlier than him.<br />
It’s now June and I’m idling in the<br />
autocross grid with my first instructor<br />
Eric Monroe. We’re chatting about<br />
my car and he’s preparing me for how<br />
much fun I’m going to have when I hit<br />
the course. I nervously pull into the start<br />
position and all seems fine. As I drop<br />
the clutch I think I hear Eric say, “Save<br />
your rubber for the course.” I’m off to a<br />
quick start until I round a set of cones and<br />
realize I’m completely lost. Eric directs<br />
me to look ahead and with some effort<br />
we make it through our first run. It’s<br />
a warm day but I’m feeling refreshed<br />
and excited about driving the course<br />
again. I do better the 2nd and 3rd times<br />
around and I even get a high-five from<br />
Eric as I continually shave seconds off<br />
my time. Looks like his, “FASTER,<br />
FASTER, FASTER!” cheer is working.<br />
When we finally get to the timed runs,<br />
Eric gives me the green light to run the<br />
course solo.<br />
Jon Perino’s photo of me at El Toro<br />
Early on, I heard a few drivers say<br />
successful autocrossing comes down to<br />
two variables: Good driving and good<br />
tires. As my car wasn’t getting itself a<br />
new driver, I opted for the latter. James<br />
at Cape Auto oversaw the new tire<br />
purchase, installation and subsequent<br />
corner balancing of my car. These may<br />
seem like simple things but I can honestly<br />
tell you that it was as if my car had been<br />
reborn! It’s hard to believe a car from<br />
1983 can handle so darn well.<br />
<strong>In</strong> the months that followed, my wife<br />
<strong>Christina</strong> endured several conversations<br />
that either began or finished with some<br />
mention of autocross and she has become<br />
accustom to my early morning alarm that<br />
gets my tail out of bed, showered and<br />
down to El Toro in time for a proper tech<br />
inspection.<br />
I’m now enjoying my second season<br />
of autocrossing, and I’ve recruited two<br />
of the employees from my advertising &<br />
design business to participate. Jon Perino<br />
and Isrrael Hernandez have shot and<br />
assembled a few videos that have been<br />
posted in the PCA/OCR autocross forum<br />
and hopefully by the time <strong>this</strong> article<br />
publishes, I will have another video from<br />
the February event posted. And, not to<br />
leave anyone in the office out, I’ve had<br />
<strong>Christina</strong> and I getting ready to roll<br />
designer, Eric Hollandsworth, create<br />
me a poster of my car for the office.<br />
<strong>In</strong> all, I have had an awesome<br />
2011. I’ve met several great people<br />
through PCA and have come to learn<br />
how to keep the tail end of my car<br />
where it belongs. Whether you’re new<br />
to autocross or a seasoned driver, stop<br />
by my “camp” and say hello. You’ll<br />
most likely find Dave and I struggling<br />
to upright a blue shade canopy in the<br />
pit area.<br />

and work<br />

These are dedicated OCR members<br />
with a passion for seeing their fellow<br />
members have a good time playing with<br />
their Porsches.<br />
For <strong>2012</strong> Zone 8 has a new set of<br />
car classing rules that were developed<br />
so Porsches of comparable speed could<br />
compete against each other. This means<br />
you can have a modified 1973 914 in<br />
the same class as a “fairly” stock 993<br />
or a 2002 Boxster S and a 1978 911<br />
SC matched up. The goal of these new<br />
classes is to make for closer competition<br />
and to challenge all drivers to get the<br />
most out of their Porsches on the course.<br />
After a couple sessions dedicated<br />
to practice runs, everyone is warmed up<br />
and the fun begins. About 2:30 the timed<br />
runs begin that count toward <strong>this</strong> years<br />
Championship Points.<br />
Looking at the results of last week,<br />
the new classing seems to have achieved<br />
its desired results. For example, in class<br />
CC04 Josef West, driving his 1979 924,<br />
was first in class over Richard Neff’s<br />
1987 951 Porsche by only .4 seconds.<br />
<strong>In</strong> 5 car CC06 class Chuck Bartolon,<br />
driving his 964, was only bested by<br />
Jeremy Cottrell in his 1972 911 by .201<br />
seconds. <strong>In</strong> class CC08 David Witters<br />
73 914 was first over Rod Taylor in his<br />
69 911 by only .052 seconds with Kris<br />
Scheussler in his 85 911 by only another<br />
.384 seconds. Six other drivers finished<br />
out that class. The novice class is open<br />
to drivers who are new to the series<br />
and it gives them a chance to compare<br />
themselves with other new drivers. Jim<br />
Leslie toped the Novice class driving<br />
his <strong>2012</strong> Cayman S with Tray Evarts,<br />
James Leslie, Margie Evarts and<br />
Dennis Wolfe in the next four positions,<br />
all four less than 1 second apart! Now<br />
that is close competition.<br />

Rice’s Ramblings: (Continued from Page 15)<br />
needed a mechanic who knows how to<br />
‘tune’ those engines. The rewarding<br />
drive after good tuning was well worth<br />
the time and cost.<br />
Today’s Porsche are in many way not<br />
all that different. Sure today’s sparkplugs<br />
last years instead of weeks - if you were<br />
lucky, back then. Almost every car out<br />
there is government mandated to have<br />
chassis, braking, steering and engine<br />
over-ride controls to protect us from,<br />
mostly, ourselves! This has evolved with<br />
better sensors that monitor some of the<br />
slightest changes undetectable by human<br />
sensing. This is why driving on a once<br />
‘ragged edge’ is all under supervised<br />
control by computer driven Porsches of<br />
today.<br />
And today’s 991 is almost entirely<br />
computer built. Each nut, bolt and screw<br />
are torqued to a hair of exact calibrated<br />
stretch, as perfect as man and computer<br />
can make them. Some will argue that<br />
there is an irony in all <strong>this</strong> as the 2014<br />
Shelby Mustang 500 will have a 650Hp<br />
engine, hand built by a specially trained<br />
team at Ford, and costing a 3rd of the<br />
price of the fabulous 650+ hp <strong>2012</strong><br />
Patrick with his wife Linda<br />
I was shocked to hear the news that Pat<br />
passed away on March 10, <strong>2012</strong>. I had<br />
just seen him at our open house a couple<br />
weeks earlier. He was his normal smiling<br />
self, just chatting with my Dad about the<br />
latest offerings from Stuttgart. As I sat at<br />
my desk letting the news sink in, I realized<br />
that in the past 15 years I’d know Pat, I<br />
never saw him with anything less than a<br />
smile. Nothing but kind words ever left<br />
his mouth. It has always been people like<br />
Pat that make PCA what it is. To me, Pat<br />
represented everything a friend should<br />
be. His passion and charisma were<br />
contagious. Ever since the first time I<br />
met him at a PCA event, I noticed that<br />
911 Turbo GT2-RS. Where is quality<br />
really found? As much as I love a hand<br />
built, specialist built, engine - as I do, I<br />
know from jet engine engineering that<br />
the computer method is actually more<br />
efficient. And note, I didn’t say better!<br />
911 ENGINE OIL PRESURE NOT<br />
THERE!<br />
An unfortunate story or a new rebuild run<br />
on a reliable shop dyno showed very low<br />
cranking and starting oil pressure? After<br />
replacing the engine mounted Oil Cooler<br />
and checking as much as possible nothing<br />
revealed a cause. A teardown was done<br />
and everything looked good. Nothing was<br />
found to be missing. All crankshaft plug<br />
pins were installed, Oil squirters installed<br />
and pressure to blow-off tested normal?<br />
After re-examining the OIL PUMP it was<br />
noticed that the OIL SEAL between the<br />
oil Pump and the R/H Engine case was<br />
not deformed from normal assembly. The<br />
3 ea nuts securing the Oil Pump to the R/<br />
H case were fully threaded and tight but<br />
the oil seal did not mate tightly against<br />
the Oil Pump and crankcase? Closely<br />
examining one of my own oil seals from<br />
a recent purchased gasket kit for a 3.6<br />

people just wanted to be around him. His<br />
untimely passing has left a gap in all of<br />
our hearts.<br />
Pat had (for many of us) the “dream<br />
job.” The first time I heard him speak, I<br />
was enthralled by his tales of traveling<br />
the globe and driving some of the best<br />
cars on the best roads in the world. The<br />
romantic idea of being an automotive<br />
journalist sounded so appealing. He<br />
would tease us with pictures of himself<br />
and his wife, Linda, standing next to a<br />
Lamborghini that they just drove on an<br />
Italian racecourse. Where do I sign up?<br />
Pat worked hard at making his<br />
dreams come true. Like anything in life,<br />
good things do not come easy. However,<br />
Pat always made it seem effortless. To<br />
be in his company was always a joy and<br />
privilege. Like many others, he inspired<br />
me to chase my dreams. Although we<br />
will all miss him horribly, I’m grateful<br />
to have been able to share time with him<br />
and call him my friend. We love you<br />
Pat.<br />
Turbo engine, I observed that the oil<br />
seal, Nr. 999.704.172.50 is a red-orange<br />
colored seal. (I shall not name the brand<br />
name here). The specification for <strong>this</strong> seal<br />
is 19.5 x 26mm (dia.) and I have seen a<br />
specification for a thickness of 10mm. <strong>In</strong><br />
my gasket kit I found the red-orange seals<br />
I had measured at 8.9 mm thick, using a<br />
Fowler metric caliper. <strong>In</strong> my shop supply<br />
I have a separate supply of green “Viton”<br />
oil seals, with the same part number. The<br />
Viton seals I measured at 9.9mm thick.<br />
After installing my Oil Pump on my<br />
engine, and then removing it, I could see<br />
a good seating on the green seal. I have<br />
advised my supplier and suggest anyone<br />
having serious engine work done inquire<br />
to the seals being used.<br />
This is a bit deep for most Porsche<br />
owners to be concerned about but it<br />
should be an awareness to all who do their<br />
own rebuilds. PS My gasket kit was not a<br />
‘cheap-o’ rebuild kit either. My supplier<br />
also supplies Porsche dealerships. I can<br />
only guess a rare manufacturing “<strong>issue</strong>”<br />
is suspect.<br />
Questions, Comments, and inquires<br />
are welcome.<br />

You move fast. So do we.<br />
Almost twenty years ago, we pioneered pleasure-use insurance exclusively to PCA members nationwide.<br />
Over time our plans have grown.<br />
They have grown again. A lot.<br />
Want to commute occasionally? Fine. Want unlimited mileage? No problem. Don’t want to pay a<br />
deductible? Ok. Or pile savings onto savings: set limits for even bigger discounts.<br />
There’s more. Our new California program also covers race cars, street rods, trailers, classic and<br />
custom motorcycles, special interest vehicles (like your Porsche tractor), kit cars and replicas.<br />
One thing that hasn’t changed is our personal service. We’re here to help you.<br />

How to Clean H5 Llights:<br />
(Continued from Page 8)<br />
Next take the light unit to a suitable<br />
work surface. We used a work shop<br />
table covered with microfiber cloths.<br />
You might also try the dining room table<br />
covered with placemats. The only access<br />
to the inside of the lens is through the<br />
bulb hole.<br />
Once on the table we took our soft<br />
bristled brush and brushed off all of the<br />
loose dust and dirt. Next you will need<br />
to remove the star shaped bulb retainer.<br />
This is a ½ turn screw-type retainer.<br />
Once loose you can take out the bulb.<br />
not to bend the reflector tab inside the<br />
housing!<br />
Manipulate the towel around as best<br />
as possible with your pushing implement.<br />
We were able to jam the towel into lots of<br />
nooks without a problem. The top of the<br />
light housing has a challenging recess to<br />
clean.<br />
wipe all of the old road dirt out of the<br />
headlight buckets, wiring harness and<br />
gaskets. It is also a wise idea to use a<br />
q-tip to apply a small amount of antiseize<br />
to the threaded mounting tabs in<br />
the headlight buckets. This insures easy<br />
removal in the future.<br />
Remember NOT to touch the glass<br />
part of the bulb. Touching any Halogen<br />
bulb will leave oils from your fingers<br />
behind and cause a hot spot on the bulb.<br />
This will lead to the bulb burning out in<br />
very short order! (oops, I already touched<br />
it, now what? Use Denatured alcohol<br />
on a clean cloth to wipe the bulb down<br />
before reinstallation.) Each light unit<br />
also has a desiccant pack attached to its<br />
bottom. Using your Philips screwdriver<br />
remove the drier. This will allow quicker<br />
evaporation of the glass cleaner.<br />
After removing the bulb, squirt a little<br />
bit of glass cleaner (2-3 squirts) into the<br />
housing, insert a paper towel and push it<br />
in with the long flat blade screwdriver or<br />
another suitable item. (chopstick, handle<br />
of a wooden kitchen spoon) Be careful<br />
Once you feel the lens is sufficiently<br />
clean, remove the towel. We used<br />
mechanics fingers to help. Needle nose<br />
pliers might also help.<br />
Next the remaining liquid needs to<br />
be dried from the housing. We chose to<br />
place our headlights out in the driveway<br />
in bright direct sun for about 30 minutes.<br />
If it is a cool or overcast day you can use<br />
a hair dryer to blow warm air through the<br />
housing. It is important<br />
to get them totally dry<br />
before reinstallation<br />
or they will fog up<br />
almost immediately. If<br />
it is the end of the day,<br />
take the lights inside<br />
with you overnight and<br />
let them dry at room<br />
temperature or in front<br />
of a heating duct.<br />
Re-installation is<br />
the reverse of removal.<br />
We chose to spend<br />
15 extra minutes and<br />
When you install the outer trim<br />
ring, take your time and make sure the<br />
top is hooked properly over the lip of<br />
the light bucket. Also, carefully thread<br />
the retaining screw into the bucket. A<br />
cross threaded screw is no way to end a<br />
rewarding project!<br />
Enjoy your sparking clean headlights<br />
and better nighttime vision!<br />

The Art of Detailing:<br />
•<br />
•<br />
•<br />
•<br />
(Continued from Page 6)<br />
bounds over the consumer line in<br />
the previous price point.<br />
Detailer Experience: At <strong>this</strong><br />
level, the detailer should have a<br />
good understanding of the cars<br />
being worked on and a few years’<br />
experience working for someone<br />
else. This is a good place for a startup<br />
detailer with previous experience<br />
and dedication.<br />
Level of Attention: There will<br />
be a reasonable difference in the<br />
appearance of the car both inside<br />
and out. Things such as wax residue<br />
on the exterior trim should not be<br />
existent. The interior should have<br />
a nice clean look and areas such as<br />
vents, windows, carpets, upholstery<br />
are addressed with great detail.<br />
Liability: There should be enough<br />
money budgeted for a good<br />
insurance policy to cover both the<br />
car and client. Here, you can expect<br />
an average of $25-50K in coverage<br />
per vehicle.<br />
Detailer’s Future Existence: This<br />
detailer will be around for a while.<br />
This is a good price point to grow a<br />
mobile business and have a steady<br />
stream of work.<br />
$600 price point:<br />
• Product Quality: At <strong>this</strong> price point,<br />
you should be getting the ProSumer<br />
products at a minimum and edging<br />
into the High-End product lines.<br />
• Detailer Experience: This detailer<br />
should have great expertise in<br />
certain cars, by now specializing in a<br />
niche. Great value for the consumer<br />
as the detailer is highly skilled and<br />
knowledgeable in the cars being<br />
detailed.<br />
• Level of Attention: Many aspects<br />
of the proper detail that weren’t<br />
addressed before should be seen.<br />
<strong>In</strong> the interior, you should notice a<br />
pristine ambiance. All of the surfaces,<br />
leather, carpets, carbon fiber, etc.,<br />
will be cleaned, conditioned and<br />
protected. The exterior is also<br />
properly cleaned, conditioned and<br />
protected.<br />
• Liability: Since we’re now catering<br />
to a higher caliber niche, the liability<br />
•<br />
of the work is increased. A simple<br />
mistake on a $30K car is not too<br />
expensive to remedy. However,<br />
with the average new Porsche,<br />
Ferrari or Lamborghini in the five<br />
to six-figures, ample insurance is<br />
needed for the unforeseen incidents.<br />
Liability coverage should be in the<br />
$75-150K /vehicle range.<br />
Detailer’s Future Existence: The<br />
detailer should be focusing on<br />
growing the company and hiring<br />
employees. Or, consider detailing<br />
as the career. One detailer can make<br />
a profitable living and support a<br />
family at <strong>this</strong> price point.<br />
$1000 and above price point:<br />
• Product Quality: Products are the<br />
same as above or a higher quality<br />
of the above mentioned. <strong>In</strong>novative<br />
products such as Nano Technology<br />
can be incorporated into a routine.<br />
These products require greater user<br />
skills to use.<br />
• Detailer Experience: Expert or<br />
specialists in a particular class or<br />
manufacturer of automobile. This<br />
detailer will have considerable<br />
experience detailing, but now also<br />
has the scope of correcting paint<br />
blemishes such as swirls, scratches,<br />
orange peel, etc. This detailer is an<br />
artist, not a detailer. These detailers<br />
are usually booked out weeks and<br />
months ahead. Their reputation is<br />
well known and the end-result is<br />
short of breathtaking.<br />
• Level of Attention: Second-to-none.<br />
A typical detail at <strong>this</strong> price point<br />
will have taken many hours, if not<br />
days. Areas such as the engine, door<br />
jams, delicate substrates such as<br />
painted interior door panel, natural<br />
wood grain accents, and carbon<br />
fiber, etc. are addressed with great<br />
detail. The exterior will exhibit a<br />
near-flawless to flawless finish, free<br />
of imperfections. At <strong>this</strong> level, you<br />
should be getting a legitimate detail<br />
that will stand the test of time for<br />
many months or years, depending<br />
on use and care.<br />
• Liability: These details are<br />
performed on cars that are near or<br />
above six-figures. A modest mistake,<br />
such as opening the rear engine<br />
compartment on a Ferrari Enzo, can<br />
lead to a costly repair. If the engine<br />
is hot and the door is opened, you<br />
risk cracking or snapping the carbon<br />
fiber lid. This can lead to a repair<br />
upwards of $100K. A policy with a<br />
$150K and above is to be expected<br />
per vehicle. A $1 Million umbrella<br />
is also to be expected.<br />
• Detailer’s Future Existence: This<br />
detailer is at the pinnacle of his/her<br />
field. These detailers are well-known<br />
in their circles, well-respected<br />
amongst peers and the automotive<br />
community and are the future of <strong>this</strong><br />
industry. This detailer understands<br />
that there’s more to the business<br />
than detailing. Playing a role in the<br />
future of the industry as a whole<br />
is important. This detailer is wellversed,<br />
proficient, exhibits smart<br />
business sense and has an excellent<br />
future.<br />
I hope <strong>this</strong> gives everyone a true look<br />
as to the value of a proper detail. Within<br />
every industry there are those that cater<br />
to the masses and those that specialize<br />
in understanding a client’s needs. I feel<br />
you always get what you pay for. So the<br />
next time you consider a detail, please<br />
consider what you’re paying for and<br />
weigh the risk and rewards.<br />

Editors Notes: (Continued from Page 5)<br />
penned and pinned last notes and letters<br />
along with their names on the outsides<br />
of their coats, <strong>this</strong> being in the day<br />
before “dog tags”. As I was doing so, I<br />
remembered a college professor saying<br />
the Civil War was fought over “economic<br />
differences”, so smugly. Well I thought<br />
as I was walking, the men charging up<br />
that hill weren’t thinking economics as<br />
they were going forward, that is for sure.<br />
I would hope they’d take comfort from<br />
the flame being passed along to a next<br />
generation. So much for cynicism.<br />
Passion and Porsches<br />
And now, while we’re on the subject of<br />
cynicism, let’s talk about Porsche. Truly<br />
if we weren’t romantics at heart, we’d<br />
drive some nameless econobox and shop<br />
with only utility and transportation in<br />
mind. However, in the OCR we drive<br />
Porsches. I imagine that <strong>this</strong> is driven<br />
from the passion side not the rational<br />
side. Why else would you have a car<br />
like the GT3? It is loud, noisy inside and<br />
out... rides rather harshly over any kind<br />
of broken pavement, which is mostly<br />
what we have in Southern California<br />
nowadays, and it has a clutch like a trucks<br />
that is like working out with a stairmaster<br />
in traffic. The reason of course is that it<br />
is so darn much fun, steers like an arrow,<br />
accelerates like a hungry man in a buffet<br />
line and corners hard enough to throw the<br />
latte out of the cup in the holder. Yeah,<br />
we have the passion.<br />
Old Bathtubs in Anaheim<br />
This past weekend was the 356 swap<br />
meet that has moved in recent years to<br />
the “Phoenix Club” in Anaheim. I have<br />
gone to <strong>this</strong> over the years, beginning<br />
when it was a fixture at the old Dunkle<br />
Brothers warehouse in Anaheim just up<br />
the road. That site is now a condominium<br />
and Dunkle Brothers have moved way<br />
up the 5 freeway. But the swap meet is<br />
more or less the same. It is a once per<br />
year event and comes and goes in about<br />
6 hours of a weekend day morning. You<br />
see the craziest stuff change hands for<br />
the craziest prices. I saw what looked<br />
like a pile of rusty small diameter pipe in<br />
one stall with a +$500 price tag attached.<br />
Looking at the handwritten sign it was<br />
advertised as the top works for an early<br />
356 Convertible. Now we call them<br />
Cabriolets, as it makes spending that<br />
much money for a convertible more<br />
palatable if one uses more fancy words.<br />
So, one mans junk is another mans prize.<br />
I don’t know if <strong>this</strong> was ever sold or if<br />
it will go back to the end corner of the<br />
garage looking for the one sun burnt 356<br />
owner who can no longer put and keep<br />
his top up in the California sun! But <strong>this</strong><br />
is the kind of thing one sees there along<br />
with a veritable rolling museum of 356s<br />
and early 911s.<br />
This year there was a proud group<br />
of 912s and 914s banded in the central<br />
display area. Quite a few of the 914s<br />
had the 6 cylinder motor badging, which<br />
would make them rather rare. It is a fun<br />
day and I recommend it to you for next<br />
year at least. For lunch I had a bratwurst<br />
and sauerkraut plate, which made me feel<br />
quite the Tyrolean with all of those early<br />
Austrian influenced Porsches present.<br />
Waxing Finely in the Sun<br />
Oh my, will <strong>this</strong> years Concours be<br />
something? At Shady Canyon, of all<br />
places, and for once an afternoon/evening<br />
event as opposed to the usual “0 dark<br />
thirty” beginning that we have grown<br />
used to in the automotive enthusiasts<br />
world. We’ll have a catered dinner,<br />
which includes an evening dinner dance<br />
so all the family will have something to<br />
attend and enjoy. I am practicing a couple<br />
of demi-plié so as not to be so tough on<br />
Mrs. Cooper’s delicate toes when we<br />
dance. As always, we need volunteers<br />
for <strong>this</strong> affair. I think it will be a special<br />
experience <strong>this</strong> year so be sure to let<br />
Nicole Cooper-Boggs and Louise Bent<br />
know that you’d like to help out. I really<br />
look forward to seeing everyone there.<br />
The Board Meets the Greek Way in the<br />
Columned Confines of the Courtyard<br />
With such wonderful weather, your<br />
OCR board met out of doors after our<br />
last Breakfast Club Meeting at Original<br />
Mike’s in Anaheim. Mike’s has sofas<br />
placed in the courtyard and it was a great<br />
diversion to sit outdoors and conduct<br />
club business. It is said that Plato,<br />
Socrates and Aristotle conducted their<br />
academe in similar surroundings, which<br />
freed the minds and opened the spirits to<br />
better communication. Although, it is my<br />
fervent wish that none of us will ever be<br />
forced to take Hemlock at any stage of<br />
our lives. But it made for a memorable<br />
Board Meeting, I must say.<br />
Till our paths meet again<br />
Well happy trails to you until our paths<br />
cross again. I’m looking forward to more<br />
of <strong>2012</strong>, our shared Porsche Passion and<br />
the friendship and camaraderie of both.<br />
See you soon I hope!<br />

Book Review: (Continued from Page 13)<br />
Porsche’s ‘Calculations Department’<br />
studying forces and accelerations on<br />
valve train components. Because of the<br />
small size of the Porsche engineering<br />
staff , Mezger quickly became involved<br />
in all aspects of engine design. After<br />
only a few years with the company, he<br />
worked with Ferdinand Piech (6-7 years<br />
younger than Mezger, who came to<br />
Porsche in 1963), to create the production<br />
901 engine, under the overall direction of<br />
Ferry Porsche. The engines in even the<br />
latest 991 version of the ‘Porsche 911’,<br />
are still based that 901 engine design<br />
developed by Mezger in early 1963.<br />
The narrative of Porsche and Me<br />
is fast paced, first person, sometimes<br />
reads like a lecture transcript, seeming<br />
almost breathless at times. <strong>In</strong>cluded are<br />
personal comments about Ferry Porsche,<br />
Ferdinand Piech, and various racing<br />
drivers, including Dan Gurney and Peter<br />
Gregg.<br />
The text is not a rigidly organized<br />
recitation of the history of engine<br />
development, but a somewhat streamof-consciousness<br />
narration, jumping<br />
around from engine model to engine<br />
model, representative of how Porsche<br />
always had multiple projects underway,<br />
some of which (like the TAG Formula<br />
1 engine and Wagner helicopter cabin),<br />
were for outside customers.<br />
It includes a fascinating discussion<br />
of why it was decided to place the 906<br />
door hinges in a different position from<br />
the 904 hinges, as well as he evolution<br />
of the design for the ‘Carrera (3.2)<br />
chain tensioners’. Of note to some is<br />
the description of how he improved the<br />
design of the 356 heads to create the<br />
high performance Super 90 engine.<br />
Also discussed is the design<br />
evolution of water cooling and<br />
aerodynamic aids. All in all, book<br />
provides new insight into the things that<br />
car (and particularly engine), designers<br />
think about. From a management sense,<br />
there is interesting commentary about<br />
the working environment at Porsche,<br />
under the leadership of Ferry Porsche.<br />
Porsche and Me has 208, 10x10<br />
inch pages, with 15 Chapters (ranging<br />
from Learning Years to Reflections), and<br />
5 appendices. One appendix is a reprint<br />
of a 17 page paper “The development of<br />
the Porsche Type 917 Car’, presented<br />
in 1972 to the Automobile Division of<br />
the [British] <strong>In</strong>stitution of Mechanical<br />
Engineers. It has Forewords by Prof.Dr.<br />
h.c. Ferdinand Piëch and Ron Dennis<br />
