Techno Classica 2010 was our first trade show where we exhibited TwinSpark Racing’s collection of parts for vintage Porsches. It was a very positive experience in that we got to meet some of you in person and could discuss the quality of our parts. Particularly our Zuffenhaus RSR Brakes were a client magnet. These brakes are a true to form replica of the original ones used on the 2.8 RSR, but have proven 930 brake internals (www.twinsparkracing.com).

The engine is relatively mild (as far as RSR engine can be…), as we have used S cams, but torque is already massive. In traffic on the Rotterdam ring road I stood on the throttle in 2nd and I fishtailed towards the next car!
