much better to use a fly-off hydro handbrake though
can also reduce flow to rear .

brian burrows had one which he was selling . posted on here that it was for sale . internet "experts" offered there "expertise" on the car . thread turned stupid .
look it up , its a pity that a guy with years of aircooled experience , and the finest collection of cars in uk decides not to come on rennlist anymore because of a few mis-informed computor jockeys .

The specification of this car always makes me chuckle, because when the factory saws off the top of the airbox, fits a non-cat exhaust & remaps the ecu nobody doubts them when they claim 300hp ......

Hi Geoffrey
Did you have a chance to drive the car? Looks really interesting. Probably better than everything else to get out of small radius curves...
"Matter" was a small factory in southern Germany, producing lots of race cages for different cars. They're vanished now...
Greetings
Markus

I am very familiar with the matter cages in the 964/993 cups and it was interesting to take a close look at how they implemented the bolt in cage. It actually ties to the A pillar and extends into the engine compartment in about the same place as the cup car cages.
I did not drive the car, it isn't road legal in the US...

I believe the correct term would be "selective deafness".
(I know because the wife accuses me of this whenever I'm watching sport on TV).
