The President’s ColumnNicolas Liakas

From The Editor’s DeskJohn Alfenito

The July cover shot on our beloved,

exceptional, phenomenal and highly literate Der Auspu! featured the American experience: a replica of the Statue of Liberty with Je! Parker’s GT3. You will "nd in this

issue coverage of the 2012 Independence Day parade in Santa Barbara in which our region participated for the "rst time. #ose of us who took part had a great time, and we know that next year our attendance will double. #anks to Janice Herndon for spearheading our e!orts!

Why so many adjectives regarding our feelings for Der Auspu!? Please see John Alfenito’s column immediately following. Our editor has professionally managed and contributed mightily to our monthly publication during the past four years, and he deserves our never-ending gratitude, appreciation and sincere thanks. Further, as an appointed and voting member of our board of directors, John has fully participated and assisted in all aspects of the management of our club. Also important, he has made it relatively easy for the next editor as all the necessary formats and procedures are now in place to insure a smooth and seamless transition. Congratulations John on a job very well done indeed!

Several other board positions will expire at the end of this calendar year. Ted Lighthizer and Doreen Pankow are completing their third year as Activities Directors. Our by-laws limit service in an elected position to three years. #eir dedication and e!orts greatly expanded the nature and number of events, so much so that when all club events, meetings and breakfasts are counted,

our region sponsors about 80 gatherings each year! #anks, Ted and Doreen, for being such a big part of our lives!

#e third position I want to discuss is the easiest of all. #is post requires hardly any time commitment, does not favor one type of personality over another, is mostly a paci"c and leisurely engagement, and provides limitless opportunities to socialize with a great group of people. Best of all, it allows all others to do the hard work while it takes credit for their successes. #e current presidency will terminate at this year’s Holiday Party. All right, you can stop cheering now!

I know that there are so many of you who are interested in becoming more involved in the management of our club. Please do not hesitate to speak to me or any other board member about how that can be accomplished. Also, if you are contacted on this topic, please give serious consideration to taking some responsibility. Keep in mind that we have a very strong board, and the numerous continuing members will always be available to assist and direct. You will be joining an energetic group of great people! Contribute what you can.

All of our events are fun and exciting, but the month of October is shaping up to be truly exceptional. #ree highly anticipated events will truly showcase our region’s prominence in the world of PCA! Ted and Doreen will chair the inaugural session of the Tire Rack Street Survival School® hosted by PCA/SBR in conjunction with the Los Angeles BMW CCA. #is instructional e!ort will provide a great service to our community.

#e 36th annual Concours d’Elegance will be presented at the Fess Parker Doubletree Resort in Santa Barbara. Dick Douglass will be hosting an elegant, dazzling showcase of all things Porsche on the lawn in front of the hotel, coupled with a bu!et luncheon in the hotel’s outdoor rotunda. Later in the month, Michael Brovsky and Steve Kaller will lead a large group of our members on our annual wine exploration and tasting challenge which this year will be based in Paso Robles. I am very excited about all the happenings. Full details on all these events are in this edition.

What a great club we have!

– – HELP WANTED – –EDITOR, DER AUSPUFFA$er four years, I have decided to

retire as newsletter editor. While I’ve sincerely enjoyed every minute of my tenure, it’s time for a fresh perspective here,

which only a new editor can bring. So, we are actively seeking a volunteer. #e quali"cations are

not rigorous. Some computer literacy would be important, and organizational skills couldn’t hurt. However, the editor’s job is far from a solitary one. Ideas and contributions come from all quarters of our club. A newly established cadre of photographers stands by to document every event. What you, as our new editor,

must do is keep it all organized and on schedule.As past editor, I promise to help you in every way I can.

Naturally, the sooner a new editor steps up, the more on-the-job training will be available as the last issues of 2012 are put together.

It may look like a lot of work, and I’m not saying it doesn’t take some time, but being editor is a fun assignment. As editor, I have gotten to know so many SBR members I might not have had contact with otherwise. It has broadened my appreciation for this wonderful club. #at alone makes the position a desirable one.

So, how about it? If you’ve ever thought about heading a team of volunteer journalists and photographers, and putting together a monthly publication for an eager and appreciative audience, then the editor’s job is waiting for you. Sounds good, doesn’t it?

Contact me or our President, Nick Liakas, and all your questions will be answered. Der Auspu! has had a long line of excellent stewardship. Let’s start a new era in 2013 with you!

DER AUSPUFF TAKES FIRST PLACE, CLASS IV, AT 2012 PORSCHE PARADE – As we went to press, word came from Salt Lake City that Der Auspu! had been awarded First Place in the Class IV division of the national newsletter competition. All of us in the Santa Barbara Region can be very proud that our magazine was recognized as best among similarly sized regions nationwide.

A good-sized crowd of 99 members and guests (driving 67 Porsches) gathered at the Way-Point Café for our July Breakfast meeting. President Nick Liakas welcomed

everyone, introducing !rst-time breakfast goer Joyce Christopher of Simi Valley. Also joining us for the !rst time at breakfast were Je" & Julie A"ronti, who joined SBR back in 1999!

New members attending included Josh English and Flo Oelke, who arrived in their new 2013 Boxster S from Rusnak (pictured at right), and Tom Punch in his Cayman S.

Some of the visitors joining us were Chris Furia from the Los Angeles Region and Ron & Terri Beale from the Grand Prix Region in Long Beach. It’s always great to have our Zone 8 friends with us.

Membership Chair Sue Kinsling gave us the stats, and Activities Co-Chair Ted Lighthizer promoted the packed calendar of up-coming events on the SBR schedule. #ere is virtually something for everyone in the next three months, so be sure to check the events listings here in Der Auspu" or online at our website, and get signed-up early.

Concours Chair Dick Douglass held a drawing for two $50 gi$ cards to Lavaggio in Agoura Hills. Every attendee received a free ra%e ticket upon arrival. #e two winners were Gary Laird and Mark Smith, who will now both have very clean cars!

It was another great get-together in Camarillo. If you haven’t joined us for one of our two monthly breakfasts lately, you really should make some plans to enjoy the group! =

The weather could not have been more perfect as 38 members and guests convened on Stearns Wharf for our July Santa Barbara Breakfast. Twenty-three Porsches, along

with a few “other cars,” were neatly parked on the pier as region Vice President Steve Kaller, !lling in for President Nick Liakas, called the group to order.

Steve introduced our Der Auspu" editor, yours truly, to explain that our magazine took a !rst place award at the just completed Porsche Parade in Salt Lake City. Judged to be the best in Class IV (regions sized 499-800 members), Der Auspu" had its best showing in the national competition in several years.

James Oldham spoke about the next day’s Ventura Motorsports Car Show. Michael Brovsky invited everyone to the 2013 Boxster introduction, which would happen immediately a#er breakfast at Santa Barbara Auto Group.

Sue Kinsling, our Membership Chair, introduced relatively new members but !rst-time breakfast attendees James & Cathy Pacino from Santa Barbara. Our newest member, who signed up at breakfast, was also recognized. He is Doug Brown from Agoura Hills.

Activities Co-Chair Doreen Pankow reminded everyone about the upcoming events on the SBR schedule. $e next few months will be especially full with several competitive and social opportunities for members to get together. As always, it’s important to sign up early for activities so as not to be le# out.

Doreen also presented a special thank-you award to Schneider Autohaus’s Henry Hinck. $e recently completed El Camino Real XXIX/Boucher-Schneider/Time-Speed-Distance Rally was generously sponsored by Schneider Autohaus.

The R.U.F. Report

On a cloudy and somewhat chilly June 21st morning, 27 members of the Retired & Unemployed Folks

(R.U.F.) gathered in Ventura and engaged in warm conversation. !ere were 15 beautiful Porsches ranging from a red 1965 356C, a Panamera, an early 911 coupe and a 911 Targa, to Caymans, late model 911 coupes, turbo coupes and cabriolets. One might say there was “a dog o" every block.” Well, maybe not.

Our goal was to take the back roads from Ventura to the Cold Spring Tavern o" of Highway 154. What a wonderful sight it was to look back and see our fellow R.U.F.-ians plying the twisting and undulating back roads through Casitas Springs, and emerging adjacent to Lake Casitas Dam. !e lake looked inviting, but cold. !e

surrounding peaks were shrouded in clouds emitting a light mist.

!e weather did not dampen our spirits as we grabbed that downshi# and pushed through the next turn. Our route took us around the lake, o"ering great vistas and turns, both uphill and downhill. We then transited Highway 192 through Carpinteria, Montecito, and Santa Barbara. As I was concentrating on the road and the next turn, Karen was remarking on the beautiful estates we were passing. Very impressive.

Our next turn took us up Highway 154 which on this day was lightly traveled. As we approached our $nal turn at Stage Coach Road, we $nally broke into blessed sunlight and warmth. (We are so spoiled here in California.) !e Cold Spring Tavern was

ready for our weary group. !ey already had our tables set as we $led in. !e menu was quite varied. One could order anything from venison, bu"alo, rabbit, pork, or beef. A few of our group did step “outside the box” to order Bu"alo burgers and such. For some of our members, this was their $rst exposure to the Cold Spring Tavern fare. For others, they had eaten there many times.

Our group members, now full from a satisfying lunch and excellent conversation, were now ready to get on with the rest of their day. Some planned on visiting family in the area. Others were bound for the local winery. Some planned on hitting the road for home. It was a good day. =

Decorated in various forms of red, white, and blue to show their patriotic spirit, 20 Porsches of the Santa Barbara Region participated in the City of Santa Barbara’s 50th Annual 4th of July Parade. Arriving

early, region members took out their car-friendly decals, streamers, bows and !ags to ensure that the German cars’ decorations re!ected the all-American theme of this year’s parade: “"e Gi# of Individual Liberty.” Each participant wore an out$t (some of which were quite outlandish) in the glorious colors of the American !ag.

"is may be the only time that the Porsches will ever be seen in anything other than their pristine, squeaky-clean form. A#er decorating and performing last-minute light detail work on our vehicles, we had time to chat with each other and members of the public who were wandering around viewing the parade entries before the parade began. Prior to the start of the parade, many of

us enjoyed a wonderful lunch at a Greek restaurant. (So, we had owners of German cars dining at a Greek eatery while participating in the quintessential American celebration of individual freedoms!) "e collection of Porsches included variants from the 356C to the 991 and was a sight to see as it proceeded along State Street in downtown Santa Barbara.

"e American-made cars of the Corvette Club of Santa Barbara provided much needed guidance to the German-made Porsche cars’ $rst Santa Barbara parade. "e two groups joined the military vehicles, horses, bands, and others in the drive down State Street with bystanders cheering and waving as we corkscrewed down the street. "e children were especially delighted when we waved to them and we were rewarded with big smiles. It was great fun looking at all the bystanders dressed in their red, white and blue attire looking at us. = More parade photos on page 14

Our Santa Barbara Region celebrated on June 23, 2012 its biennial Member Appreciation Day at the Whale’s Tail

Restaurant in Channel Islands. One hundred-ten members, one-third of whom were new members, participated and enjoyed the brunch feast, the presentation of awards, the ra!e drawings and the 50/50 lottery. More important was the available opportunity to meet and greet new and old friends alike.

At the outset, each new member in attendance was introduced to the

gathering. Special greetings were extended to Anthony Restivo (our newest of the new, joining this past May) and to Ron Wagner and Anita Berthold (the “oldest” of the new, joining in November 2010). "e individual with the longest membership in PCA was Anita Banke, who joined PCA 45 years ago.

"e new member introductions were followed immediately by the diverse brunch o#erings beautifully presented on rows of service tables, including a model of a $shing vessel. "e o#erings were so plentiful that the dessert tables had to be placed in another section of the restaurant.

Service sta# endlessly circulated the room with champagne and orange juice in hand. We won’t name names, but some of our participants were seen returning to the bu#et tables four times!

Prior to launching into the aforesaid drawings and lottery, SBR member Alan Grant, who along with his business partners, is the chief and lead architect for the planned Barber Automotive and Motorcycle Museum in Alabama, gave us a brief presentation. Alan shared his personal insight on the constantly changing renderings and drawings, and provided

details on certain unique design elements that are sure to make the project a world-class destination for auto enthusiasts. Our archivist, James Oldham, prepared a small table to exhibit numerous scrapbooks from years gone by. It was fascinating to glimpse back in time and witness the activities and friendships prominent throughout the 48-year history of our region.

A long table, about 12 feet long, was reserved for display of the two-dozen door prizes. Guests were each given !ve tickets and were instructed to deposit them in the little brown bags located next to each prize. "e prizes ranged from car washing accessories to a free oil service at Rusnak Westlake Porsche (sponsors of the event; thanks to Keith Goldberg, general manager, and Sam Abergel, Director of Parts and

Service). "ere were many winners, but Michael Jacobson won two Black Magic wheel and tire cleaning sprays while Je#rey Merrick won two Zymol detail sprays. "ey quickly got together and exchanged to balance the bounty. New members David and Dawn Bloom, who signed up late and arrived late, nonetheless won several door prizes, invalidating the long-held belief that the early bird gets the worm!

Two acts of kindness stand out as proof of our club’s motto that it’s not just the cars, it’s the people. His beautiful granddaughter, Caroline Carbajal, accompanied our advertising manager Don Kuckenbaker. She had seen at the door prize table a bracelet with the Porsche logo emblazoned on it. Caroline whispered to Don that she really, really hoped they could win the bracelet –

she liked it so much! When the drawing was held, the winner of the bracelet was Jane Neiderst, who just happened to be sitting at the same table as Don and Caroline. Jane instinctively turned to Caroline and presented her with the bracelet, forever impressing the young lady! Caroline will never forget Jane, and her day with the Porsche Club of America, Santa Barbara Region. "e second extraordinary gesture further proved the motto when the winner of the 50/50 ra$e waived the award and directed that the entire amount collected be earmarked for our region’s 2012 charity, the Special Olympics of Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties.

It was a great, and heartwarming, sunny day among gracious friends. =

Saturday, June 30th was a picture perfect day for the 29th running of !e El Camino Real, Santa Barbara Region’s Zone 8 time/speed/distance rally. Dave & Susan Stone greeted and registered the 14 participants and gave them

a copy of the route along with the PCA Rally rules and a few delay forms, just in case. !e drivers and navigators hastily retreated to their cars to study the route and try to discern all the tricky nuances before the start of the rally. Good luck with that!

Revere Jones, PCA Zone 8’s Rally Chair, wrote the rally route for our event in conjunction with Tom Gould from the San Diego Region. Revere and "ve rally co-workers were there to man the various checkpoints the cars and crews were destined to "nd along the route. !ese checkpoints are easy to miss if you aren’t paying attention, and the penalty in points is steep. !e workers don’t exactly wear bright orange clothes, and they o#en park their cars where they’re not easily noticed.

So seven cars le# the Sears parking lot in Santa Barbara, one minute apart, with high hopes of achieving perfection. !is means you don’t get lost or take any wrong turns, you "nd all the checkpoints, not knowing how many there will be, and you arrive within hundredths of minutes accuracy at each checkpoint at the “true time.” Did I mention these locations are not known ahead of time? !e competitors’ job is to stay on time and on course by following the cryptic clues in the route instructions. Of course this means you have to estimate how long you sat at the stop sign or stoplight, how long you spent getting up to that average speed, and then estimate how much faster you have to drive for the next few seconds or minutes to make up lost time. !e driver is usually trying to "gure out all these “seat of the pants” estimates while the navigator is reading and calling out the next course of action designated on the rally route, looking for road signs and trying not to get car sick while reading and calculating along windy canyon roads. What could be more fun?

To give you an example of the trouble you can get into…during Leg 1, Car #1 (Janice Herndon and Doreen Pankow) missed the Baseline Road turn and ended up being the last car to check in at the "rst checkpoint. Not a good way to start the rally. Being totally bummed out at this turn of events, we pulled ourselves together and said “the blondes can do better,” and we did! Leg 2 was completed within 29 hundredths of a minute of the “true time,” and Leg 3 within 10 hundredths of a minute. We drove too fast on the last two legs, so we ended up with an error of 9.89 minutes for the entire route. !is paled in comparison to the accuracy of

Car #2 (Joe and Ethan Akerman), who only had an error of 10 hundredths of a minute for the entire route. !e next closest to perfection was Car #3 (Lance and Kelly Lyon) with a total error of 1.69 minutes. We can only dream of such accuracy!

So where did we go? !e odometer calibration portion of the

run took us on San Marcos Pass Road/CA-154 toward Solvang with a few tricky back roads along the way, and then over to Foxen Canyon and Los Alisos Canyon toward Los Alamos. We then headed down even tighter curves on Drum Canyon, then west to Lompoc. !e course eventually took us to Santa Rosa Road, where we enjoyed picturesque views in wine country and "elds of golden marigolds as we drove towards Buellton and a few more back roads over to Solvang. We ended up back on San Marcos Pass Road, where we also drove Stage Coach Road, Cathedral Oaks and Via Chaparral roads to the last checkpoint. !ree novice cars (drivers and navigators) and four more experienced cars ran the same

course. We covered 130 miles of predominately back roads over a period of just under four hours, and ended at Max’s Restaurant on State Street in Santa Barbara for lunch and the presentation of the awards.

In Class E, Mary Hoover and Gerry Grembos "nished "rst, followed by John Grusd and Jim Kirk in second, and Mike Bailey and Genny Hulbrock third.

PORSCHE ALARM/IMMOBILIZER SYSTEMSBY CHRIS ANDROPOULOS

Porsche has been installing alarm systems from the factory since the 1980s, but the progenitor of today’s immobilizer-equipped

alarm systems appeared in 1994 with the 993-series 911 line.

Porsche’s “Drive Block System,” as it was called, consists of a separate alarm control unit that communicates with the DME (the Digital Motor Electronics or engine) control unit. A remote key fob with a single button not only unlocks the doors and disables the alarm system, but the button has to be pressed again in order to start the engine. When the button is pressed, the remote transmits a unique, coded, radio frequency signal to the immobilizer control unit. !is in turn releases the DME control unit to activate the starter motor and the ignition, plus the fuel injection circuits, so that the engine can start. !is system provides an extra measure of security against the" in the event that the starter circuit is “hot wired,” and the steering lock is defeated. As an aside, it must be pointed out that most of the quick and subtle hot-wiring to steal a car that is commonly seen in movies and TV shows is not easily or quickly possible on any modern car. !e ignition circuit wires are normally well protected, and the steering column on most cars has a locking device that must be defeated as well (by not-so-subtle drilling and/or breaking) in order for the car to be able to steer.

Porsche eliminated the requisite button-pushing of the 993 with the introduction of the 986 Boxster and 996 series of 911 sports cars. !e ignition switch in these models contains an integral inductive sensor ring that communicates with a transponder pill (built into the key fob) each time the key is inserted in the ignition slot. If the key transmits the correct code to the alarm control unit, the engine will be allowed to start.

!e 987 Boxster and 997 911 starting in 2005 use a similar alarm/immobilizer system to the earlier cars, with the exception of an electronic steering lock that acts directly on the steering rack, as opposed to the traditional mechanical steering column lock on the 986/996 and earlier models. When a properly coded key is inserted into the ignition slot, the steering lock is released with the clicking sound familiar to owners of these cars. !e Cayennes use a very similar steering lock and immobilizer system to the sports cars, with the exception of an optional keyless entry and drive system that uses proximity sensors and remote antennas to determine if a properly coded key is present. It must be stressed that on any of the post-993 systems, the battery will drain rapidly if the key is le" in the ignition, as most of the control modules in the car will remain “awake” and ready to start the engine if necessary.

!e latest Cayennes, Panameras, and the 991/981 series of 911 and Boxster cars dispense with the traditional cut key blade altogether (except for emergency access via the key slot in the driver’ door) in favor of a car-shaped “block” key that is inserted into an ignition slot. If the proper key is inserted, the familiar remote unlocking of the steering gear and release of the DME control unit take place.

Porsche’s alarm and immobilizer systems are welcome the" deterrents when all is functioning properly, but can be downright frustrating if a malfunction occurs. !e most common issue with the 996/997 sports cars is with the keys themselves. !e switches and/or the circuit boards for the remotes commonly break or fail with repeated use, causing the remote keyless entry to stop working. While it is sometimes possible for those handy with a soldering iron to replace the microswitches on the circuit boards, the only proper repair is to replace the entire key head. !e same is true for the rubberized buttons that commonly break on the 986/996

keys; the plastic housing that contains the buttons is not available separately from the key electronics unit and the entire key head should be replaced. !ese key circuit boards also do not respond kindly to water damage from going through a laundry

cycle or being dropped in swimming pools or other bodies of water! !e key blade can thankfully be removed from the damaged key head and snapped into a new unit, however.

!e early 2005-2006 987/997 use a di#erent key head design (grey plastic) from the earlier cars that is easily broken with repeated turning cycles of the key

It must be stressed that on any of the post-993 systems, the battery will drain rapidly if the key is left in the ignition, as most of the control modules in the car will remain “awake” and ready to start the engine if necessary.

The 2005-2006 987/997 series key


in the ignition switch. !ere is a repair kit available to replace the plastic remote buttons, which can also break and pop out, but if the plastic housing breaks, the only repair, besides clever reinforcement with electrical or duct tape, is again replacement of the key head. Porsche introduced a heavier, much more substantial key head design (all black with a metal reinforcement ring) for the 2007 model year of sports cars, and this is recommended as a replacement for the fragile earlier key heads.

!e main issue with key head replacement, besides the cost, is the fact that each universal key head needs to be programmed to the individual car with factory-level scan equipment. A “key learning code” needs to be obtained from Porsche in order to properly diagnose the alarm/immobilizer system and to program new key remotes and transponders. !e transponder that transmits the signal to the immobilizer unit to allow the engine to start is programmed separately from the remote control system that operates the door locks and alarm system. Each new key head comes with a tag on which a unique 24-digit key remote code is printed. !is code must be entered via the scan tool during programming. !is key tag

should be retained for future use in case the key remote in question is accidentally overwritten in the future. Each car can have up to four unique key remotes and transponders programmed to it. If one of the vehicle’s keys is stolen, it is prudent to have a Porsche specialist determine the unique remote and transponder codes of any remaining keys and delete the codes of the stolen key, thus rendering said key inoperable.

As mentioned in my May article on water drains, the alarm/immobilizer control unit on Porsche sports cars from 993 to 997 resides under the driver’s seat, and is

susceptible to water damage. A waterlogged alarm control unit usually results in a no-crank, no -start condition and a subsequent tow to a Porsche specialist for repair. !ese control units can also occasionally fail internally with age and heat. In the 993 series cars, a warning light with a pictogram of a key fob remote illuminates in the clock gauge between the three and four digits, if it is necessary for the immobilizer to be disabled with the key remote button to start the engine. It is possible for a malfunction in the clock gauge circuit to cause no-crank, no-start issues in 993s. !e key battery is the "rst item that should be checked if the remote unlocking function does not work, or if the immobilizer does not disable on the 993 models. !e red LED light in the key fob should #ash rapidly when the remote button is pressed. If the light does not illuminate at all, check the key remove battery. If it stays on solidly with no #ashing, the key electronics are likely at fault.

If you ever happen to turn the key of your Porsche and nothing happens, and the battery is known to be fully charged and in working order, there are several steps that you can take before a tow truck is called.

On manual transmission cars, ensure that the clutch pedal interlock switch is being activated fully with the clutch pedal depressed. One should hear an audible “click” when the clutch pedal is pressed to the #oor. If not, check that the #oor mat or other obstructions are not blocking the clutch pedal from full travel. In another slightly comical aside, I must mention that more than one manual transmission-equipped Porsche has been towed into my shop for a no-start complaint, only for us to discover that the female owner happened to be wearing tall, high-heeled shoes that did not allow the clutch pedal to be fully depressed!

In Tiptronic or PDK equipped vehicles, the shi$ selector needs to be in “Park” or “Neutral” for the engine to start. If the engine still does not crank, try another key if available, as the transponder in the key can sometimes fail. If the engine does not crank or start with any of the keys, and the battery is fully charged, then it can be safe to conclude that a tow to a Porsche specialist is necessary to determine if the

alarm system or the starter system is at fault.

In closing, it must be noted that this article is timely in accordance with a recent change in Porsche’s o%cial policy concerning the release of vehicle learning codes. In light of reported incidents of vehicles being stolen using key learning codes obtained through unscrupulous means, the owner of the vehicle in question is now required to sign a release in person

at an authorized Porsche dealership, with a copy of a driver’s license and vehicle registration present. !is is necessary for the learning codes to be released, whether to a dealership technician or to a properly equipped independent Porsche repair facility. Previously, a faxed copy of the owner’s driver license and vehicle registration was su%cient. !ese codes are necessary to properly diagnose any alarm system issues and to program new keys. While this additional security measure is an additional inconvenience, Porsche has deemed it necessary in order to thwart and stay one step ahead of car thieves. =
