We have some great news for owners of earlier 911s through the Carrera 3.2: We now have the Zuffenhaus RSR brakes in stock to bolt onto your original chassis! It allows you to take advantage of the supreme stopping power of these race proven brakes.

The original brakes on all these types of cars were single piston equipped. The real heavy duty, race oriented brakes were reserved for the Turbo 3.3, which came with larger, wider, cross drilled ventilated disks and for piston brakes in the configuration of the 917 and 911 RSR race cars. Contrary to popular belief 917 brakes look nothing like RSR brakes, as they were not equipped with cooling fins. Those were only added for the 2.8 RSR. The internals however were the same.

The reason you should get our RSR brakes is that it is the only big-brake bolt-on solution which fits both front and rear bolt spacing and [...]

So many of our readership are proud owners of an early 911. An original piece of engineering history; a marvel of 60’s and 70’s automotive history. As you are well aware of, these cars were built with Motorsports in mind.

The factory provided OEM after market parts for all sorts of applications and privateers invented even more. In reality only the fully specced early 911s with so-called S packages were truly equipped for Motorsports as they came with proper sway bars and light alloy front brakes. Engine wise I have found that you can have a whole lot of fun with T,E, S or RS early engines and gearboxes and if they have been put together well, will rev happily all day and take you home with a smile on your face.

As our early cars are becoming more and more valuable every year it becomes less and less attractive to modify them in ways [...]

Lex Proper drove The Hulk, our 1974 Porsche 911 RSR to 2 consecutive P2s in the first round of the Dutch Historic GT & Touring Car Championship! The races were driven in mild spring weather with a threat of a thunderstorm, but a dry track in the end.

Doing battle mainly with a similar car, which is running electronic fuel injection (?), Lex pressed out a fastest lap of just below 2 minutes, a 0,75 second improvement over The Hulk’s performance in the last season. So our modifications over the winter have paid dividends and Lex’ experience does the rest!

I drive Woodstock, the 1973 RSR, this year, because we want to see what Lex, with all his track experience, can achieve with the car. At the same time I believe you benefit from sitting in the middle of the field, so you don’t forget how close-racing works. So it was great to be back [...]
