not digging the 997 lb, that being said, im not really into most lb kits either

There's a version 1 and a version 2 of the LB 997 kit? wat

Great, another full racecar widebody coming soon to a Starbucks on Robson near you. I don't understand the appeal of a full race look on a street car. That Liberty kit also looks especially retarded at the front of the front wheelwells... exposing that much tire is a huge aerodynamic fail.

A has been soooo excited :D He can't wait :D

You see what else he is doing? Gonna be better than Peter's Build :D

If it was my car I wouldn't be daily driving it downtown unless I wanted to show off cruising robson on a Sunday afternoon. I think everyone can agree they would be tracking the car on the racetrack getting there adrenaline overlord.

After driving this car you would quickly forget about any prejudices you have about a small cosmetic gaff. The widebody Porsches just demand respect and there appeal comes from the huge intimidation factor.

Widebody always reminds me of:

What? There's no Idler's Games here, so really all these cars are for is showing off that you can afford to bring over Nakai and purchase his kit. It's nice, but the novelty has worn off. Bear in mind that the car is a 911 underneath, it's not like the RWB kit adds 300 horsepower and racecar coilovers. Are you their sales rep or something? Because that's the vibe I'm getting reading the mess of bullshit when I read your posts.

I know it's completely periphery stuff, but I'm actually curious what the guy does at customs... does he check off the box saying there's a $30k bodykit being shipped separately from his person? And does he tell US and/or Canadian officials that he's here for a holiday or to make a bunch of money installing kits? I can't figure out how he isn't on a blacklist just based on that. Not that I want him to be... but it would be interesting to know how he gets around work visa issues.

:suspicious:

I just spat coffee everywhere.

Can recall in French class we were given most of the week to draw and label our dream house on a poster. Not even sure how much faster open wheel cars are now.

As a cop, would one throw the book at a 993 RWB for speeding? Time will tell, likely just the luck of the draw.

It's a one man operation from start to finish. Nakai isn't looking to flood the market with his work, he's interested in building cars for people who are as passionate about their Porsche as he is. He wants to know that you're going to drive and enjoy the car. There's a screening process so he knows his time and effort are going into a car that will bring joy to someone for years to come.

If he didn't every sheik would buy his kit, wrap the car in platinum vinyl and hard park it in front a Dubai hotel for the rest of it's miserable life. If you really love your car than you love it for more than looks. You give it a spanking every now and then; you take it for a long aimless drives for absolutely no reason than the pleasure of driving itself; you take to the track so you can let it out.

I respect his mindset. If you are only modifying the car for the sake of looks and the comfort of knowing what parts are there you are getting only a fraction of the enjoyment of owning the car you love.

Does he actually screen his customers? Money is money..

As for Dubai, I'd imagine that because they have so much cash, they wouldnt bother with an older platform as it doesn't scream rich.

lol exactly what's happening to Mansory Lamborghinis, Novitec Ferraris and Gemballa Porsches in Dubai.

yeah seems like they're only interested in brand new car.

I don't think they have any mentality of buying an used car, and fixed it up and build to your own taste, etc...

Yes, and not my opinion...this is a fact.

after timpo,for a sec i thought Charlesincharge was correcting the op too :lawl:

This isn't entirely true.

Just like anywhere else in the world, there are rich individuals who just buy really nice cars and drive them around as status symbols.

But there are also car enthusiasts in Dubai, some of which have taken a great interest in purchasing and restoring old cars, it ranges from muscle cars to antiques.

So really I think dubai is just like anywhere else, except there is a disproportionate number of rich people snagging up Ferrari's and Lambos.

yeah but nicely restored antiques and muscle cars normally range from six figures to million $ or so.
You're probably talking about classic Dodge Challenger, Ford GT, Plymouth Hemi Cuda, Ferrari GTO 250, Ferrari P4, and all the other collectible vehicles.

What I meant was that how people in Japan and America are doing.
Buying a car for $1,000-$5,000...like Miata, Datsun 240Z or 510, AE86, Silvia, etc...and fix them up and have fun with it and all that.
Mustang, Camaro, Porsche 924, Fiero, Rover Mini Cooper, Eagle Talon, something that is not so status symbol if you know what I mean.

Congratulations, you are now the dumbest person in this thread, having stolen the title from Shark Tank.

F1 cars have exposed tires because they are REQUIRED to.

They would be faster if they didn't, which is why many of the aerodynamic tweaks that are designed focus on deflecting air from the tires.

What do you think those big flaps in front of the rear wheel are for? They deflect air from the rear tires... you know, the same function that would be done better by fenders if the rules allowed them.

Dumbass. :rolleyes:

Trust me, if the sheiks wanted one of these they would have one, one way or another.

As far as this kit, it's all cosmetic parts so I'm not sure where you're getting this "mindset" of his.

Thank God, i've been waiting a thread on the first RWB Porsche in China for ages! Thanks for that update Shark Tank, I can now work in full concentration.

oh ok

Nice try but a cutesy image isn't going to somehow erase your epic fail.
