My Florida 993 3.8l is now restricted and they contacted North Carolina and my 997.1 is also now restricted!

 

What happened to your handbrake?

Hence 'restricted'. He would clearly be doing north of 2fiddy without the handbrake issue.

 

I saw that, and wondered if that's due to being pulled at an angle & if more cars are like that. I'll have to look at mine from the back.

 

Mine goes to 11.

 

FIAT's 131 Abarth rally car was reported by Road & Track back in the late '70s/early '80s to have a steering wheel slightly canted to the right in order for driver Sandro Munari to shift more quickly because, and I'm paraphrasing, "in rally racing, they split seconds, too."

Having the brake lever cheated to the left allows for quicker Waldegård turns. When you need to rotate quickly. Which is sometimes often.

 

Maybe it’s a divining rod and is pointing toward the nearest water source.

But why would it need water?

 

This is now a handbrake thread. (nice sticker, btw)


My Tequipment hand brake was also bent like that and I've see this on many 911's. I suspect the same thing, years of usage and pulling on it extra hard, which ends up being at an angle toward the driver.

I straightened mine...

 

Maybe our brothers who have right hand drive can comment on whether their handles point starboard?

 

that is a personal problem...

 

Up, on in normal position.

 

There is a drug for that! I saw the commercial last night.

 

Check Peyronie's Disease. I am a retired urologist. Drugs work, sometimes surgery is required
All Bent Sticks Matter.

 

How do you think I fixed my Tequipment? Xiaflex to the rescue.

 

TROG is back on the books.
