Although I love WRB and all the different choices when getting the kits I would love to do something different and go with the INDECENT kit..they're fairly new but they're as wild and unique as RWB.

I really think RWB is so popular that you can not do something new or unique. RWB is cool and everything, they are all similar. Would not be much more experiense to build something like TBK or Abflug as in Japan? It would be more outstanding and so overhyped.

I 100% agree. And for what its worth, you're essentially "destroying" the car forever. They aint making more of them, and restoring a car that has been RWB'd is very difficult. I would totally have voted for an RWB 10-15 years ago when I first heard about them, and when they were japan exclusive afaik. But now, it kind of feels like a rocket bunny brz/gt86 for me... Its been done. The shop you visited recently, the guy from midnight club. If he offers his body kit to non midnight club members, would be the move.

Absolutely agree, I'd love to see Dino's personal build on this Porsche and see him learn the platform etc. RWBs are neat but so overplayed now and it's virtually irreversible to the car without major help. I'd rather see a throwback performance build with this one.

if abflug's still making their 930/64 parts that would be a breath of fresh air Though in a way you're still cutting up the car since these kits are made for turbo-bodies, not the narrow Carrera body

I agree RWB certainly has a following but tbh he free-hand hacks up the car. Porsche purists and expert car restorers think his work is so bad and so shoddy. Why not do a custom body kit that can be removed. That way it is unique and preserves its value and respects the original body.

It is so interesting to see these views of I am assuming other guys in there 30s with there views on this. And yes I kinda agree, keep a classic in good shape as is and then buy a used rwb later. I am seeing the tables turn on these cars

In my humble opinion, RWB has become a victim of its own success, and has leaned a bit too “manufactured roughness” with the clients opting for big dollar show car rather than raw race car idlers RWB of old. But having said that, if anyone deserves a true raw RWB build, its the person who brought RWB into the mainstream consciousness and into video games and youtube notoriety. That would be Dino DC! And the 964 is quintessential RWB starting platform imo

@@dino_dc A garage TBK styled build would be unique and timeless without "compromising" the car too much.

For me, what stands out about RWB - other than the looks - is the man behind the concept being the man who builds and installs every single one of the bodykits. I remember watching the video that followed the first three builds in Brazil some years back, it was groundbreaking to see such a big name in intermational car culture here at the time. People forget or don't know that the originals were performance-oriented, and seeing a rescue of that idea would be cool to see. Seeing the stock 964 in a good shape, and knowing there's no way back once you go for it, makes this a tough choice to make, but, your car, your dream.

Good luck with it. As much as I love the documentary-based approach to most of your content, no one can resist a build series on youtube, can they? I know you've mentioned in the past you really like the blended over-fender approach to an RWB build and I totally agree. I think people forget there can be a spectrum with these cars. it's doesn't have to foot-wide overfenders... You can go for that more GT2 or RSR look as well. Then of course with companies like Carbone and Ollis Custom Parts out there, there is so much off the shelf goodness you can throw straight on. I imagine any RWB-ification is still some years down the road but will definitely look forward to seeing what you do with the car. EDIT: That said, I have to agree with the other comments that mentioned the ABK kit, it really is exceptional.

I believe you should get a special build slot due to the way how long you know each other now and how you spread the RWB spark into the world by your coverages.

Fabulous car in a great colour! Love it! If it was my car I would perhaps make it into a 3.8RS tribute or a “plain” wide bodied car like the 30th Anniversary which Porsche produced. In any case, do what you feel is best - it’s your car!

I remember you from all the first wave of TAS and hellaflush videos teaching me about the Japan car subcultures. I remember thinking who’s this guy with the white frames?! I was lucky to meet you at concorso Italiano in Monterey and tried not to geek out. An RWB is so fitting. Go for it! RWB is family. My bud riko who you know is a part of it.

Dino congrats on the 964. Being a Yellow 964 Carrera 2, makes it quite unique and possibly rare. Do not go down the route of RWB. A narrow body car is so charming and that is so much that you can do to make it your own without being a bolton on fibre kit. Wheels definitely need to have a nod to JDM, seats, maybe only the drivers seat have some fabric insert nodding to JDM as well. And the suspension, breaks, engine, gearbox... I mean much like Honda civis, 911 of the air cooled Era are like LEGO, take advantage of that.

I feel like some Work Meister S1’s would look FANTASTIC on your Porsche. They sort of match the factory wheel look, but with JDM flare👌. Maybe 1” larger than stock diameter and a bit more flush fitment. Or crazy deep barrel if you end up with the RWB kit as mentioned🤤… Also, I really wish he’d gone 2” narrower with the rear fenders on the 997. It’s too goofy.

Mouth watering production, yellow 964 , yessss, love it.

If you really, truly desire an RWB Porsche in your stable, then like as many have said, your position is Golden. I also believe it would be really awesome to take some time to explore more in-depth into the Porsche Culture around you & develop a new idea of what you want your own to be. Blending styling cues & performance enhancements you’ve seen that you like the most. You are already influenced by many great builders/shops, so make yours the most unique & YOU it can be! You can get some amazing work done by true hearted automotive craftsmen that will bring your vision to life.

looking forward to this!

If the natural progression of modding the car leads you to a full RWB build that'd be really cool to see, and I'd only suggest you consider one with the molded fenders. Definitely more labor intensive on Nakai's part but well worth the time and effort if you ask me. People online are looking for something new to latch on to, so You will inevitably get a lot of people here who don't know RWB that well and see it only as some guy who cuts up fenders, and gets paid big money to do so, without knowing the history of how that look came to be (and that most of the Japan built cars actually have the performance to back up the looks). If this turns out to be a car true to the core spirit of RWB, it would be more than enough to set it apart from the average internationally built car.

Refresh it, restore it, restomod it. But I'd never ask someone to cut it up like an RWB. The original lines are so pretty as it is.

In my humble opinion do as you wish. But at the end of the day Nakai-san is an artist. The art and the artist are both finite, but the art tends to outlive the artist. It’s not just about every other person who has the money build an RWB. It’s a car you love built by a person you love, those chances are limited.

Well put!

Perhaps I'm a bit too late, and truthfully I forget what journalist is responsible for the quote but it was something like "the car is an avatar of the driver." and more-so than any other car culture, I think SEA takes it to the extreme where they let their cars express the individuality they aren't able to express in their day-to-day life. Nakai-san's vision of his avatar in the Stella Artois car has been rebuilt over and over again for other drivers that want that style and avatar over their own image. As a fan of your work over the long years of Speed Hunters and delving into KZread the vision that I'd think of is "The ultimate front quarter panel shot while sitting in Daikoku PA". Nothing batshit insane or 6 figure build-wise, just a pure and solid machine modified to create a beautiful picture in the iconic locations of Japan to bring that idealistic beauty to life on screen. Silly as it sounds, the image I have of your work is remaking the old porsche in the image of the Leicaflex SL2 camera, something so dedicated to it's vision that it defines its own idea of absurdity. Having an RWB kit doesn't change that because of how he creates them but that sort of precise capture of something in the moment that we sometimes forget in the digital age is that sort of idea of the type of Porsche I see you driving. Regardless, I look forward to future content since whatever it shows is your own vision of the car and you're one of my favorite car photographers so I know it'll look fantastic lol

If you always wanted a RWB, go for it! If I were you, I'd took the update route modernising the brakes, AC, suspension and swapping the gearbox (If possible)

that dog has the best house where he can live ngl

But would love if you modernised it and modified but kept it without any body changes ❤. RWB were so cool in the early days and I remember seeing Nakai San first in EGO magazine and fell in love with Stella, but I sort of feel his cars have become a victim of their success.... A stock bodied 964 on the streets is so so special now to me, I even feel a Singer car bodied as a standard 964 with arches etc modified only slightly to cover the larger wheels would be so cool.

If the goal is the experience and not the end product, RWB all the way. If you're looking to treasure the car, I think a more classic restomod build would retain more of the car's charm and value. End of the day, it's a personal choice and I don't think there's a subjective right/wrong one. I personally wouldn't(biased, as 964 is my favourite chassis), but you have to follow your heart.

i kind of understand your point of view Dino with the Porsche,regarding your journey where you was there from the beginning with a helping hand to set Nakai on the map,& see the the progress of its evolving at Tsukuba & i admit im also tipping toward both sides of the genres from resto mod sleeper with some modernizing in chassis + maybe an free reving Rs Na engine + some clean body kits`` that flows well but also love the more raw Cup Replica approach going road version``but as a cleaned up`` road cup`` all of the road going cup cars have always speak to me, im bit there with my car as well not a Porsche but a Datsun Sunny B110, after i yesterday finally seen an mint original B110 sedan i doubt my thoughts for a second about going Ts Cup replica for my B110, but at the same time i also get more motivated to go the Cup approach route as everyone else is almost running bone original here & you never seen Cup replicas for the road it can also maybe relate to the common age of owners of those cars here too,that said the example i saw had only 65k kilometers from original so i would have been feeling bad to made that to an cup replica, mine is an longer runner & has alot of cosmetically & need complete respray in the end,so its a bliss too feel free with it to create something unique``/different, its always hard decisions to make with such personal projects,& in the end it is only yourself that should/could appreciate all of the choices made, when i see your Porsche the Ruf Ctr2 Pikes peak 1997 also comes to mind as good spirited inspiration & very well looking forward to follow your jorney further into it, Rock on Dino 😃🏁 Sincerely Ivan

keep it up. also if you do RWB maybe do something japan exclusive like molded fenders or something

What about some RUF-isation? Or TBK as some said already. That would be lovely, and way more interesting than a RWB

As much as I love RWB, I'm only a fan of the more modest examples from him, and even then, I'd rather throw money (first and foremost) at a full engine rebuild or on an all new one.
