- Comments Off on Mind the Gap: EB Motorsport Porsche Panels
Our friends at EB Motorsport are going great guns at the minute, with lightweight Porsche panels and race equipment zooming off all over the world. Business is going so well that EB is flying in skilled composite manufacturing labour from Europe, to catch up with stock requirements while keeping quality consistent.
It’s great to see a brand succeed by sticking to high quality Porsche parts. Here’s a few pictures from Tuthill Porsche yesterday, where EB Motorsport lightweight panels are going on three different project Porsche 911 builds, either in paint at the moment or heading for paint very soon.
First is this superb silver Carrera (top). A later G50 example, the car is in rust-free condition throughout, but the owner has decided to brighten up the bodywork with fresh silver paint. Tuthills stripped much of the exterior by hand with a [...]

- Comments Off on WEVO shifter in the bitchin’est Rally Car in Europe
Dropped into Tuthill Porsche earlier this week, where the team are getting Glenn Janssens’ Belgian Historic Championship-winning 911 together ahead of the season opener in Haspengouw on February 22-23.
Janssens will defend the title in his mega 911, as seen in the Chris Harris video below. The 3.5-litre twin-plug Porsche still runs the EB Motorsport slide throttle system as on sale in the Twinspark Racing shop but this year has added another Twinspark Racing product, in the form of a WEVO Billet Shifter with SL superlight shift knob.
We’ll be following Glenn’s progress through the year. Enjoy the video!

- Comments Off on Snow Covered Roads on Day 2 Winter Trial
The day started on a good note with Team TwinSpark on P5 in Club class. The field of about 50 cars in our class had suffered a blow in the regularity ran in darkness yesterday. We had found the correct route and from four regularities we emerged with minimal penalties.
It was good to see Cooper and Rene in the 911 Targa had made it back last night at about 11, after 4 hours of downtime in the wilderness before they could be found back. No damage to the car and unbroken spirits for that team. Today they tried their luck again on a snowy track and ended up in a ditch. This time it happened on the main route though. Thank God the Mercedes of Fer d’ Arnaud was close behind and he managed to pull the 911 Targa 2.2S free.
