BREAKING NEWS
POWERTECH TECHFEST 2005
Begins in Next Month!
Powertech's Techfest represents all the upcoming fall events that are sponsored by Powertech. These events are:

2005 Porscherama's "Powertech Time Trial" located at Pocono Raceway, September 18th & 19th 2005. For those of you that do not know what a “Time Trial” is, it is very similar to an autocross in that one car is timed on the track at a time. The goal is to get around the road course in the fastest time possible within your class. If you like track and autocross, driving then you will LOVE the time trial. For more info about Porscherama, visit NNJR-PCA.com

"How To Winterize Your Porsche & How To Purchase A Preowned Porsche Workshop", located at Powertech October 15th 2005. This seminar will dive into the truths, myths, and legends of storing your Porsche during the winter. We will also cover the correct maintenance procedures for those that drive their Porsches year round. The second half of the seminar will cover the recommended procedure for planning and purchasing a pre-owned Porsche. This seminar is a must attend for anyone interested in the mechanical aspects of a Porsche!

TIPS OF THE MONTH
Brake Caliper Corrosion -- Can’t get your brake pads into your caliper without griding them? Your calipers my have corrosion that has built up under the steel pad rests. This problem is seen mostly on late 944 S2, 968, and 964 model Porsches, but can also affect other Porsche cars that utilize the Brembo sourced 4 piston calipers. Powertech provides machining operations to cure this problem, as well as caliper refinishing and rebuilding. Need a set of correctly stenciled “Porsche” brake calipers? Powetech can do it!

Contact Neil in service to schedule an appointment, at neil@pwr-tech.com
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distributor Vent Updates for the 964 Porsche -- Do you or someone you know own an 1989-1994 Carrera 2 or 4? Make sure your ignition distributor has the required ventilation update. This very simple, and very valuable addition that helps dramatically extend the life of the small-cogged rubber belt (that connects the two distributor rotor shafts). In the event that the belt breaks, significant engine damage can result from loss of the secondary ignition system. The vent update can be spotted by the second flexible rubber hose that runs from the left engine duct over to the distributor. There must be two hoses present – one for the distributor and one for the taillight panel (itself another update!). Click here for a PDF file of the bulletin!

Powertech can take care of you! Set up an appointment by contacting Neil in service at neil@pwr-tech.com. Or you can order replacment parts by contacting Jake in Parts at parts@pwr-tech.com

Chassis Dyno is a Fantastic Diagnostic Tool -- Go 180mph standing still! We have the Autobahn AND your favorite racetrack here in our building. A chassis dyno is perhaps one of the best automotive diagnostic tools that a shop can have today. At Powertech, we use the best chassis dyno system available - the Dynapack Chassis Dyno System. Not only is a chassis dyno the best way to measure horsepower, it is also the best way to make sure your Porsche is tuned properly. We can diagnose engine misses, poor performance, cooling systems, electrical systems, transmissions, and dozens of other items that require your Porsche to be at speed and under load.
