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 [...]
I’m currently researching track dates for a Spa gathering later this year. The plan is to run circa 25 classic Porsches from the TwinSpark Racing Club, R Gruppe Europe and the ImpactBumpers.com club, based in the UK.
Last year’s Spa event was an overwhelming success. Though the 2011 date will be slightly later, the costs will stay reasonable and the laughs should all be just as loud. How could they not be when we’ll be playing with Porsches on the best trace track in the world?!

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 [...]
