Another good day for Leonard in our Viper Green RSR: his second P3 finish of the weekend in the HARC Historic Racing at TT Assen Circuit.
Leonard describes the race as “no more tyres: a slippery game of chance in the high-speed corners.” I don’t have much else to report at the minute but will fill you in soon.
He’s sent me some interesting pics from the pre-race paddock and also two from the finish. That black and gold Escort looks like a useful tool.
I love this one on the car transporter, though I’m sure I won’t like the bill when it comes up at the next shareholders meeting. Boys and their (very big) toys!
Enjoy the pictures. We’ll post a debrief soon on how the cars went and, more importantly, how our TwinSpark Zuffenhaus Porsche 911 RSR brakes held up. Maybe [...]

We’re racing this weekend at the TT Assen circuit, with HARC and the Historic GT Touring Car Championships. Two TwinSpark cars are on track: our Viper Green 3.0 RSR and the Light Yellow 2.8 RSR we call Woodstock.
Damaged in a minor off at Spa last month, Woodstock has now been repaired. The widebody Porsche 911 is running brand new slicks and a little something extra: the first set of Zuffenhaus RSR brakes to enter Europe.
Fitted with Pagid Blue brake pads, the RSR brakes work well. TwinSpark partner and former Porsche Cup series driver Lex Proper will race the car in this configuration, and we’ll give a full report on his findings after the event.
Bolting the calipers onto Woodstock was a [...]

- Comments Off on WEVO E-Z Pins for 911 Trailing Arms
WEVO are famous for their gear shift levers and transmission upgrade parts for air cooled 911s, but the company also makes some interesting suspension parts. One such part is the WEVO E-Z Pin.
The WEVO E-Z Pin is designed to replace the 14mm bolt used on the inboard pivot of the 911 rear trailing arms. The 1972 911s do not have the dimpled torsion tube to allow the inboard bolt to be removed unless the transmission is removed from the chassis.
The E-Z Pin will fit the 1965-1989 Porsche 911, and can be installed with the transmission in the chassis, eliminating the cost and inconvenience of removing the transmission when performing rear suspension rebuilds or upgrades.
The original bolt is removed by partially extracting the bolt, then cutting the exposed section of the bolt. This is necessary as [...]
