TwinSpark Racing had a very good first day out during this weekend’s Dutch Post Historic Championship at Zandvoort capturing a trophy for 3rd overall in a field of 24 cars. Running its fresh new block was a hit and I certainly didn’t expect to make it to the podium on Woodstock’s first outing in this form. Although powerful, this engine is actually more a well put together 3.0 RS block, as I wanted to be able to use it in road events as well. It was evenly matched today with the 2,5 liter Martini ST of Onno Vlaanderen, who had the advantage of running slicks vs our TB’s and 20 years of racing experience to take 2nd place, behind a silver Zakspeed Escort built and raced by Marcel Frijlink.

Woodstock was equipped today with a black and black WEVO 915 shifter – SL shift knob combination and it made a massive difference in the way [...]

Last week we received authorization to publicly show WEVO’s latest exciting product: the Tall Boy shifter for Porsche 915 transmissions.

Having driven the Tall Boy in my rally car, I am now seriously hooked on this wonderful piece of kit. Driving with a standard, unsprung shifter today was such a weird sensation and not one I enjoy any more… This specific example bears the signatures of Gijs Van Lennep, our patron, and Hans Hermann 1970 overall Le Mans winner in a 917K.

The Tall Boy appeals to all sorts of classic 911 drivers and allows for endless modifications of its appearance. The epoxy outer skeleton can be painted or covered in leather and there are several very attractive shift knobs available, as they are for the “normal” WEVO shifters. We particularly like the SL Knob. Its drilled through appearance matches perfectly with the aura a lightweight classic 911 should have! http://twinsparkracing.com/slshfknb.html

Today we finally had a chance to test Woodstock, our signal yellow Porsche 911 3.0 RSR. The RSR has been extensively rebuilt over the last 18 months and now includes many new items which we sell to our clients. The new 3.0 twin-plugged RSR engine had been run in for about 250 km, but had not been run on track. This beautiful piece of kit was humming away like a dream for a few laps, until it developed a misfire. Coming back into the pits it turned out that one of the top spark plug wires had popped off, so nothing serious. And back on I went.

As you may know we restore MFI pumps as part of our select offering, and to check how the engine is performing we mounted an air/fuel gauge and sensor in the car. The meter read out perfectly around the desired 1:14 proportion across the rev-range, meaning that the [...]
