Default She is a crazy black duck so I named it Daffy

Love this car (RL member Defiant), and was happy to learn more from this elferspot.com article:
https://www.elferspot.com/en/magazin...the-race-duck/

Can't wait to see it when it's at 2550lbs!

You made your 964 very individual. Can you tell us something about your modifications? Who made it?
I bought the 964 with the track in mind. I wanted to build an air cooled GT3. The motor and gearbox were built by Jeff Gamroth. The motor is a heavily modified 964 motor now making 381hp. The gear box is a 6 speed from a 993 with short gears, steel syncros and a Guard race limited slip differential. She’s been stripped of most creature comforts including AC, heating and rear seats. I’ve got her down to 2650lbs but a good friend of mine has plans to get her down to 2550lbs. The suspension is also heavily modified. The front suspension is from a 993 GT2. I’ve got adjustable coilover shocks and upgraded brake system that includes larger brakes and a dual master cylinder. The exhaust is a custom Gamroth set of headers with a modified dual center exhaust from a GT3. Cosmetically I’ve done just minor things. Updated mirrors, ducktail, half cage, bumpers and the tow hooks. I’ve also powder coated a set of MY02 996 wheels black. They were the lightest wheel I could find that looked good on the car.

PM RL member Defiant (Daffy's owner), or Jeff Gamroth, since he has probably installed a couple of these on customer cars.

That said, I think it's a Getty Design one piece bumper (available in carbon!):
C2 Rear Bumper
$759.00 - FRP
$939.00 - CF

I think that's what Magnus has on his car.

The ducktail looks awesome on a 964. Who makes the nicest one for these cars?

Hey all!!! MAN it's been too long since I logged in here. Thanks for the kind words. I love the car.. drove her to work today in fact... QUACK.

The tail is Getty and I went with Fiberglass. I should have gone for the carbon fiber.

I'll have to ask Gamroth where the bumper came from. We had to cut the center section out of a bumper with no cut outs at all.

Here is a link to an old thread on the original build out. I've done quite a bit of work since...

The cruise control arm is now the horn. I lost cruise control when I went Motec. Good spot 😬
