- So we're here today,
our buddy Magnus Walker.
- I'm down here for the Long Beach Beard Convention,
which is the LBBC,
like I always say,
get out and grow,
but my first time down here at the Hoonigan Donut Garage.
It's a real thrill to be here,
a spectacular location,
and I brought down my 964 for you to take a look at it.
And if you wanna do the little walk around.
- Yeah, give us the walk around.
- Essentially, it started life as a former track car
that had gone off the road backwards,
so it was a blank canvas,
and basically everything on the car,
other than the two doors,
has been tweaked, stretched, louvered, or channeled.
So starting at the front, you're a 964 owner.
(car peeling out)
We started with the front bumper,
we got rid of the license plate recess.
We got rid of the center grill recession,
that always dips.
- Yep.
- So custom splitter, custom bumper.
And then the real touches begin with the channeled hood
which is narrowed, you probably see that.
- Which runs all the way over the roof.
And you know as a 964 owner in a sea of backdates,
and wide-bodied conversions,
my goal was to keep the 964 DNA intact.
So it was all that influence brought in from the 356,
from the Ruf Yellowbird, and from the Sport Classic,
so touches there would be for example,
the channeled roof.
The rain gutter delete, you notice the rain gutter is gone.
But really, the main change that everyone notices
is right here at the front,
the steel-louvered stamped-in fenders,
which I had Rod Emery do for me.
- I was gonna say leave it to Rod to be able
to figure those out.
and evened out smooth.
- I mean this was a lot of work,
it's the second set that Rod and I did together.
No dye existed, so he had to scan the fender,
CNC his own dye, and then obviously you know,
you don't just stamp one out,
you gotta get the tension and pressure right,
and measure eighteen times,
and it's drilled and cut, and then stamped
inverted upside down, so a lot of work
just to put those louvers in the steel fender.
So all the way down, there's not really
a square edge on the car if you feel the fender lip there?
How it's fully rolled?
- Oh yeah.
- And while normally these would have the square lip,
that's been hand-dollied off.
That's an early turbo tail this.
The rubber has been deleted,
and it's kind of got a gurney flap,
and then it's channeled to match the roof.
And the other signature touch really
is the integrated turn signals,
which came inspired from the 67R.
So there's not a square edge on the car,
there's no screws on the car.
It's kind of like a seamless modular shape.
And for me there was so much changed on the car,
that I sort of stepped away from doing my usual,
let's call them boy-racer, three-color paint schemes,
and figured the car could stand alone
just in one subtle color.
But even when you look inside you know,
the dash has been fully customized,
you notice there's no radio, no heater element,
no vents here, it's one piece.
And then if you touch the interior headliner, touch that.
I have leather skinned on the roof.
- Oh, that's nice.
So it was like, why cover that up with a headliner,
so that's the same leather that's on the seats,
on the door panels,
and on the Momo steering wheel.
So in a way it's subtle,
but from a performance point of view,
it's the most performance-orientated built to date.
- Look at that, boom!
- The car weighs 2520 pounds as you see it here,
with a 3.8 RS spec motor in it,
which is putting out about 300 horsepower to the wheel.
So power-to-weight ratio is really pretty good.
It's rolling on KW Suspension.
It's got Brembo Club Race brakes on it,
and then it's on our own 52 Outlaw Wheels,
that we teamed up with 1552 on,
and then rolling on Pirelli Trofeo R's.
So the car performs, it handles,
it stops, and it looks good and so,
that's in essence the story of the 964.
Long story short, my most performance-orientated
build to date.

Thanks for tuning in, and let's get out and drive,
peddle to the metal.
