- Comments Off on WEVO upgrades: Porsche 996/997 GT3 & Turbo
A discussion with Hayden Burvill at WEVO in California last week reminded me of the groundbreaking semi-solid engine mounts Hayden developed for the 996 and 997 911 models. The product has since been copied by a number of aftermarket companies but, as Hayden points out, none of them have the depth of engineering expertise or materials experience present at WEVO, to ensure every piece is at peak efficiency when manufactured and support the product after sale.
We’ve sold lots of these engine mounts to Porsche owners and dealers all over Europe. A sporty alternative to the factory engine mounts, these Semi-Solid engine mounts fit all Porsche 996 and 997 models from 1999 to 2012. Crafted with WEVO quality from aluminum, stainless steel and polyurethane, their purpose is to sharpen the connection between moving mass of engine and [...]

- Comments Off on Top Spot for TwinSpark Parts on 2012 Rallye Maroc
Congratulations to Twinspark Racing customer, BMA/Bernard Munster Autosport, for their victory on the 2012 Rallye du Maroc Historique. This gruelling rally is a direct descendant of the famously tough Morocco International: a long-time car killer that drew entries from around the world, thanks to the epicness running through its veins.
Twinspark’s association with BMA goes back to our earliest days. The team is one of our approved garagiste dealers, and benefits from trade discounts on all of our parts. One interesting Twinspark-supplied product run on the BMA Porsche 911 rally cars for this event is the Porsche 911 gearbox/transmission cooling system. Developed by WEVO on the desert racetracks and endurance circuits of North America, this product has been tried and tested across harsh terrain and, like all of our parts, in our own cars also.

- Comments Off on Sports Purpose Early Porsche 911: The TwinSpark Way 2
In our next chapter of the Sports Mods we take the suspension to another level. Based on our experience a road going early 911 which has an occasional track day outing and runs in a navigation rally now and then needs no adjustment of the front torsion bars, nor sway bar size. The Green Meanie was such a car (see Part 1) and Silverado, despite its more radical S/T look, still runs standard suspension up front. To take your early 911 to the next level of reversible sportiness you swap out the rear torsion bars. We went with the early Turbo spec of 26mm and in combination with the rear sway bar you are now very near the optimum for these early, narrow body cars.
It is now time to consider ride height adjustment, since your rear suspension has been dismantled any way. A corner weighting job and ride height adjustment are the final stage [...]
