Ruf-Look Cab
 

It's not a real ruf though. It's got 2 or 3 more hp than the real thing...

Well what's the story on the car? Any more pics? Tell us about the motor...

This CTR replica makes a LOT MORE than the original Yellow Bird :D

And if the Excellence article can be used for comparison...this one is also a lot more street friendly.

Great thread and I really like the BW product Bill displays but I too can find no web site for this business. The Excellence directory doesn’t even have one. I don't know about you guys but who isn't wary of a provider who in 2006 doesn’t have a web site. I mean come on it is more vital to business that a phone number or even a mailing addresses. I would be very interested in possibly buying there product but w/o a web site????? Anyone else find this really odd if not worrisome?

You should not let BW's lack of a web site undermind the quality of the parts.

We have been selling BW Motorsports' CTR bumpers for some time now. I assure you that the quality of the parts is tops in the industry.

The parts come prepped and primered, like you see in this picture from our web site.

Edit: picture link doesn't seem to be working...see next post.

Ditto to everything Souk said. Brad is just a low key kind of guy. His shop is 30 minutes from me - want me to drive over and confirm that he's there?

Oh well...uploading or linking a pic is not working....

Brad is working on launching the website as we speak.;) It will be running in the near future.:)

Derick,

Your car looks awesome. 2 or 3 hp.? This car looks like it got over 500hp. Where did you get the front spoiler? I am thinking doing the same thing.

Compare that to Restoration Design that has a website, but never answers their phone or returns calls. I'd take Brad's approach any day.

Motormeister has a great website too... ;)

Brad has a pretty good reputation among the folks I know and I wouldnt hesitate at all to buy from him (or his stuff via Souk).

I am not saying the product isnt top notch it is actually the quality of of the product that left me wondering how they could have no web site. I said a web site is more important than a phone or a mailing address b/c look at the thousands of small business that only exist on ebay, you see the item, pay on the site w/ credit card, the sellers mails it to you. No phone no mailing address but still getting paid.........

I was being a smartass. It's a bit of a sleeper. Actually has closer to 600hp. That's not a typo. This thing is just insane.

Built by stephenPHD at imagineauto. It's got everything - Ruf 3.4L P&Cs, bully rebuilt bottom-end, ported, polished heads, wild cams, 3.2L intake, full autronic EFI, K27HF2 turbo, custom Kokeln I/C, etc. etc. etc.

The build sheet was like 4 pages long...

I've got a dyno sheet showing 485 at the rear wheels!!!!:eek:

It needs some stiffening though, as the cab tends to squirm when I open the can of whoopa$$$.

I'm working on it. Probably some welded door bars.

Anyway, it's fun (may be the understatement of the year). There's a lot more info on it over on the "other" porsche website (rennlist).

My rear valance/bumper was from Brad and was high quality (for fibreglass, which pretty much all fits more or less like socks on a chicken :) )

Front valance/bumper I got used. Not sure the manufacturer.

Ok fellow Ruf converters, I need some advice. This weekend I'll be cutting up a stock SC engine lid grille to fit the openings in my front Ruf bumper.

Do you guys have any tips or suggestions for the actual grille cutting? Should I use a dremel, jig-saw, something else?

Do I need two grills to cover the center opening and fog light openings, or can I cut carefully and get all these pieces out of one grille?

Thanks for the help,
-Scott
