- Comments Off on EB Motorsport Porsche parts on half Safari Rally Entries
Heard an interesting factoid from Mark at EB Motorsport last night. Catching up after the team’s weekend of FIA racing at Zandvoort, it seems almost half of this year’s Safari Rally entries could be running EB Motorsport parts.
“We’ve got parts on all of the Tuthill Porsche cars, four cars built by Bernard Munster for Safari and a few more. These guys know how strong and light our composite panels are, so they’ve stopped going elsewhere. We’re delighted with progress, given our relative newcomer status in the Porsche world. Our Porsche MFI parts range is also increasing, so good interest there from European and Australian customers.’
EB Motorsport’s latest product for the classic Porsche 911 is an MFI Fuel Pump Support Arm Kit. Retailing at £380, it includes a beautifully anodised oil take-off block, through bolt, copper washers and [...]

- Comments Off on Staying Power gives EB Porsche a Brands Hatch edge
Our friends at EB Motorsport had a good weekend at this year’s Brand Hatch Historic Festival, part of the 2013 FIA Masters Historic series. Masters Series events enjoyed full grids all weekend, with plenty of cars on track doing battle: just what the spectators wanted!
EB’s terrific Guards Red Porsche 911 3.0 RS suffered a few irritating glitches, which ruled it out of two events, but the Light Yellow 911 RSR went well all weekend. The 3.0-litre Porsche 911 RSR couldn’t quite match the pace of the bigger-engined cars on the straights of the Brands Hatch GP circuit. A pair of Corvettes outqualified the EB Motorsport Porsche 3.0 RSR by just over a second for Monday’s racing.
As ever, the [...]

- Comments Off on New Porsche Fuchs Wheels in 11 x 15″ RSR Finish
EB Motorsport has just released its second-generation Fuchs 11 x 15″ wheel. Seen here prepared for EB’s FIA World Sportscar Masters Championship Porsche racers in RSR finish, the Gen II wheel retains the lightweight strength of the original, but uses a closer radius on the rim edge to perfectly replicate the original Fuchs alloy wheels.
Period wide 15″ Fuchs are a lottery. The wheels have been raced hard for over forty years, with unimaginable fatigue lying under the surface. One cracked rim can send a proper competition RSR into the wall, with far more costly damage to repair than simply replacing the rare and highly prized period magnesium wheels at £5,000 a pair.
Priced around half that, EB’s 11-inch Fuchs are high quality reproductions that can take the knocks and will last for years.
