Somewhere in New Westminster apparently. You probably heard of their arrival and they are planning to build something, and here it is.

[hk20000]

I don't know which shop is it either so I won't be able to tell haha. But the car is on fb and it's public so I assume they don't mind a post of it.

I've been a fan of his work for a long time. If I had known he was in town I would have tried to sneak in just to even wave from a distance.

Beautiful work, and is completely my inspiration.

Or his plane ticket from Japan :badpokerface: I remember reading an interview where he said as long as those who are interested in his work pay for his trip, he'd be happy to come and build a car.

I'd take a guess and say somewhere between 315-345

the plastic trim that runs along the bottom of the car is almost home depot-esque,

personally for the 993 I prefer the EVO look, just a lot cleaner IMO, this is still nice though

[death_blossom]

how can we tell if this 993 is a Turbo or not? beautiful looking car regardless.

Just saying there are cleaner/better looking ways to protect your front bumper than a 5" tall rubber gutter running along the front edge of the car

how dare I say anything bad about RWB that's -600 internetz right there

how dare I say anything bad about RWB that's -600 internetz right thereI completely agree about the front. Every part of the car otherwise makes my brain explode from too much awesome, but the stock front bumper looked so much better. I understand though about the beating it will take on these roads. Either way, the car is just phenomenal, and I can't wait to see it on the street.

[87accord]

This car will be well taken care of as it was before. The owner is very meticulous. The shop it was built at is not in new west. Hahah

Just want to show you the other overseas project by Nakai-san. Both platforms are 993s so they look very similar minus the canards treatment on the European one.

[StylinRed]

very sweet! a little anal up in here but whatever sweet car (agree about the lip)

Much appreciated if you guys would just leave the shop's name out, owner does not mind the publicity as long as it doesn't point to him, he also enjoys his privacy.

I'm not really familiar with the Porsche tuner scene. Is RWB similar to a company like Gemballa?

Gets a RWB Porsche built but doesn't want publicity? Lol... :failed:

[El Bastardo]

Who/what is RWB? The best Google can tell me is that hes a boutique Porsche builder who is very skilled at what he does but does he only do bodywork? Does he do engine work as well?

[nabs]

BTW... I don't get the hype... the car looks aiiiihgtt. not omg blow my socks off, maybe because im not a huge fan of Porsche.

[MindBomber]

Mindbomber, i apologize if my response was too harsh. Your original post came across to me as a smartass comment at the time.


I welcome the apology; and thank you, I appreciate the insights.

thanked for hot avatar :fullofwin:

[white rocket]

RWB's style is not for everyone but it represents exclusiveness IMO. I would imagine that the experience is quite personal for the owner. Really exciting to have Vancouver blessed with the presence of Nakai-San. Like it or not.

[kchan]

im so what close with the shop that the 993 RWB was built in

the shop mostly serviced the car / maintained / modded it

Nakai-San himself did all the work aside from painting

car is officially done now, and Nakai-San himself is going down South to build another RWB :fullofwin:

and hopefully the owner will come on out to one of the RS meets as the owner will be driving this car quite a bit, he loves driving his stable of cars :)

why didn't the owner get the GT wing like all the other RWB?
imo, the GT wing give the car way more aggressive stance.

Loving this car, the thing I would change for my personal preferene would be to make it sapphire blue instead. Rare to see cars with this exact shade but it's pretty sick

I always thought RWB cars were nice. but after seeing this vid, and seeing the car ROLLING through the streets, I AM IN LOVE with RWB kits and especially Nakai-san's outlook on each car he builds.

[JSALES]

if I had a Porsche, I would want Nakai San to build it

[xilley]

really wanted to give you the youdontsay.jpg

I think everyone viewing this thread do.

[El Bastardo]

I don't think anyone cares that this car was built at Scan. If we wanted to know about them, we'd Google them.

Can someone tell me why Nakai-san and RWB are so important?

[StylinRed]

^^ no idea but he looks badass



This is a pic from Industrialgavel not sure if he minds it being shared (if so i'll remove it)

Ahh Fatlace. Excellent. Revscene could be like Fatlace if they aspired to be.

Thanks Matsuda


Edit: This guy is similar to George Barris or Carroll Shelby but less concerned with his "image" and more about enjoying the process of building these cars and driving them. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I respect his dedication and passion. I'm glad this thread came about.

Thanks for the vid Matsuda. Pretty cool guy. I'd love a 993 TT in stock form but i can understand now why people have a raging hardon for this Nakai-san.

[RFlush]

What's the name of the other shop then?
Posted via RS Mobile

[toyota86]

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems that all that the guy does is install wide body kits onto 911s. His workmanship and style seems to be why people like him. I'm just curious to know if this is all he has to offers. An appearance pack. Does this guy perform performance mods as well? Do the cars actually handle/drive better/faster after he is done with it?

[Matsuda]

I've been told that apparently the facebook link in the original thread (and what caused the drama) is a local company/website/shop that had nothing to do with the actual build but is trying to get publicity from it all. The car was apparently built and worked on at another shop. This would explain why some were saying that the shop was in New West and some were saying North Van.

Apologies if it came off as trying to advertise for the shop in the deleted thread, it was simply a build up thread onto the car and was not intending to create the dramatica.

Ruf doesn't even care to mod classic aircooled 911s anymore so who cares. They can go play with Boxsters, Caymans and watercooled 911s all day long.

Rauh Welt is in their own league.

They do both. In fact, they do(or did) sell 'BTR kit' to make your 911 a BTR.

However that was not my point...
