Rauh Welt Begriff

[Nessy]

maybe it's intentional?

Yeah, I think it is. I remember it having a racing number on it and an 'Ecsta' decal on the bumper. Though i'm pretty sure the wheels were slightly different. Definitely the same car though.

[Edit]

I remember seeing a pic of this one, a good few years ago. Diggin the colourway.

New 993 from LA. Painted in the same purple shade as the new 991 RS. Notice the flat whaletail spoiler.

Here's that RW-Republic I was on about. It's not exactly how I remember it, but I think it's the same car as the one I posted on the previous page.

 

[Heldenzeit]

I like it a lot. It has that rough look the cars were originally known for.

Same here. I've encountered this problem in the past.

Pictures that are embedded from other websites have never worked very well for me

Thanks for reposting them. Sometimes I'm too lazy or don't want to save every pic.

the few that may notice, RWB has been pretty skewed from it's original intent. Most new builds aren't even "Rough" and what they are now are basically walking advertisements for the owner's company. The ones who understand where it's at the grassroots. Those are the builds that you know are instant classics.

I quite like this one:

I like how it has different colour bumper and arches. I think it mat be a RW-Republic car (seem to remember one similar).

That car was RWB Rough Soul once for Idlers 2013. A friend raced it. Not very powerful, lights are real dim but a great car

They used to be mad and a little bit cobbled together, looks wise. Now each build looks like it's trying to chase show wins, not race wins. They've jumped the shark, almost.

Basically the transformation of the owners. In Japan they were made almost exclusively for Idlers events, now with international cars it's extremely rare for one to even go on a track. It's a shame.

Yeah, a lot of them aren't as rough as they once were. Thankfully the guys close to the shop in Chiba still track theirs. I don't think Nakai cares about the show wins.

I'm gunna inject a little salt into this thread.

I watched this video about RWB and I think it's a crock of crap.



The fat dude is going on about how oh this car is tailor made to your needs. It's a "custom-made bespoke suit."

Oh please, they all look the same.

And I cannot for the life of me justify spending thousands of dollars for this guy to come out to what is basically a finished car and add black rattlecan on a brand new paintjob.

Don't get me wrong, it looks sweet, but in the end it's a body kit. It can never be anything more than that.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Search for the videos of the Japanese built cars that participate in time attack and aren't just hard parked like most of the US built cars. It makes a bit more sense.

Also, seeing him work in person is pretty inspiring IMO. Yeah, it's just a bunch of fiberglass and paint, but the way it comes together is special.

 

[Fastcarguy]

I really want this concept to be real. RWB style Volvo 240? Yes please.

Some boys just want what other boys have. They don't see the bigger picture.

Nakai-san is in Moscow now, working on a 993 and going to fix a 964 that was damaged in a race.
This will probably be the first 993 RWB in Russia.

UPD: The work is done, he's leaving. But will be back sometime.

So this is happening just 25 kilometers away from me this Saturday...

Must. Go. There. Gotta get my NFS shirt signed.

Enjoy! It's really inspiring watching him work in person.

Yesterday was Nakai-san's birthday.

I really like this yellow one.
