Should I go RWB? Would love to hear your thoughts!

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.

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

A clean and simple 964 c2 has always been my absolute dream car. With them getting backdated, restomodded and RWB'd they are getting rarer by the day it seems.

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.

The video me and all your followers have been waiting for..can't wait to see the progress on this..what a way to get us all involved in the project.

enjoyed the episode dino, but i cant wait for the "i bought my dream rotary" vid . once the rotary bug bites it never leaves

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.

I understand that people want you to keep it stock but ultimately it is your car and you should do as you please with it, looking forward to future videos of this build

Auto Garage TBK front bumper with the big lights would be unbelievable and the world needs more of those, then for the rest of the body you can do a you wish, maybe even mix in RWB parts?

Wow congrats Dino! Super happy to see this build you deserve it! I love that Yellow, can’t wait to see the vids! Have a good one ❤

do the RWB on a much later date. for now, please keep the narrow body style and go for RS look but with japanese wheels, roll cage, seats, kw suspension etc etc also put the manual swap ahead of the rwb phase :)

I really like your ways of modifying the R34, so I guess you should do the same way to the 964 in the future. Just modify and improve it enough without changing too many things that couldn't be undone 😅

Rwb is definitely a controversial style. I personally love it but it's not for everyone. If you want to fly under the radar, then definitely keep it stock body. If you are looking to turn heads everywhere you go, rwb!

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.

Great to see the 964 finally getting the love it deserves! I'm looking forward to this series.

Congrats Dino! Well deserved, I think you should start with some light mods before you start thinking of something drastic like a widebody. Love RWBs but getting the Porsche cut up right away is like getting an impromptu full back tattoo when you’re drunk.

Hey Dino, go for RWB, but go for it slowly and progressively. You are one of the few who know Nakai-san's work from it's roots: The wide and rough look packs much appeal, but keep your 964 a driver's car in the first place, because, after all, a good drive is what makes us bond truly with our cars! Thanks for taking us with you on this journey!

I think Nakai-san would definitely be willing to build you something a bit more special than the average RWB, crazy to say theres an “average” RWB. But definitely suspension and drivability first above all aesthetic mods.

That sounds like amazing content will be incoming. I am looking forward to it. Cheers from Porsches Homeland :-P

Whatever you do, I’m here for it 💯

Im in love with nakai's space. organized chaos yet a cozy vibe. love it

Excited to see what's coming!

Really excited to follow the journey!!!

Nice one Dino. Looking forward to seeing the build progress

Looking forward to seeing your RWB one day! Love their shop too - definitely a chilled vibe. As ever, thanks for the content Dino - loving the back stories too! 🤙

Great video...thanks Dino!!! Good intro and hope there is more insight to Porsche culture in Japan!!

Auto Artisan I caught that show it change my whole idea of Japan custom life. Bravo Dino DC

Yellow 964 is quite rare! Congrats

Congratulations boss, i like RWB but my scene is more PROMODET, GARAGE TBK, RISE YOKOHAMA, VEILSIDE, ABFLUG, LE MIRAGE....

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.

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.

Amazing project! It may sound weird but when I see this car first of all I imagine the smell of that era Porsche ))))

Oh dude! So excited for you! The 964 is my fave out of all the 911''s to date.

My man!! A dream buy, well deserved I'm a yr in to your channel and love the content!

Keep it OEM+ with some tastefull mods

i would like to see interviews with english subtitles :p love porsches

Dino my man great vid. And you absolutely nailed it on the montage music! Perfect!

Dino, this is amazing! You are one of the best car content creators out there and its a privilege to follow your journey

I’m just starting the video but I really hope the title is legit! You deserve it! You do tremendous work showcasing cars and Japanese culture in general! Cheers!

Absolutly amazing car congrats!

Your car cinematography is great. Reminds me of Gran Turisomo.

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.

Awesome vid. Keen for the project. Hopefully means more r34 project vids too. Loved that angle on the channel. Personally id be heading back to auto garage TBK and get something whipped up for the 964. Porsche, wangan styling for sunday mornings daikoku drives.

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

quality dino son an with the 964 build go sick on her lad ballz deep she deserves it Kidd 🔥💯💪🏻

Omg! You are living so many dreams. Please keep us posted on this bad boy!!! Personally i would go for something like the anime Blackbird from Wangan Midnight.

Please, keep it stock!

it would be a dream spec having RWB & TBK collab to built it!!!

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)

I’ve barely found your videos and they are so good you really should have more of a following I enjoy it so much keep up the good work!

❤❤❤ Dino, your dream porsche is the same as my dream porsche

love your content bro ,looking forward to thus build ,RWB is so sick but I think u should go with whatever you like the best

I've just seen the first rwb in Italy two days ago and it was awesome. If yours is going to be an rwb as well just please, keep it that color because it's fantastic. Giallo poenta for the win.

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 KZfaq 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

Keep that beauty as is. That thing is gorgeous!

looking forward to this!

Congrats 🎉 what a great achievement

Rollin with the RWB crew let’s go 😎👌

It’s Japan so.. mochiron desu! Would be awesome to take it to Daikoku

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.

Really enjoying your videos!!👌

Love the speed yellow, and really look forward to this project. I love the 964 myself and still have one. Think you meant possibly replace with a 993 manual 6 speed box 😊. 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.

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.

Congratulations! 🎉

Havent seen the video yet but no way! ❤❤❤

That you have under 100k subs blows my mind. Content is always brilliant. I need to go back to Japan

that dog has the best house where he can live ngl

You mutha fukka, I’m so jelly and even more stoked for you dude. So sic.

Been watching and subbed for 2-3 years now. Thankyou for putting the best car content on KZfaq Dino 💪🔥 hope to see you back in Turkiye again 🇹🇷

Hey Dino! Love your channel. Would be awesome for you to join the RWB family. I’ve been following RWB just as long as you have and always dreamt of owning one. I’m the NYC build you mentioned in your video. I was lucky enough to get on the list at the end of 2019 but unfortunately COVID hit. Which was devastating of course and I had to wait an additional 5 years till now. It was all worth it. Bossman will be here in about a week and half for my double 993 build. So excited!

Is that a Mizwa? Perhaps a little Promodet, a little Auto Garage TBK, a little Ruf, a little RWB, a lot of clean. Congrats!

First stop RWB, second stop TBK....😁

Every time I see Nakai-sans "man cave", it reminds me of a New Orleans voodoo bar... and don't worry, I haven't forgotten to talk to my Uncle. I'll try him again tomorrow.

Yes! How about doing a custom build with a wider than ever fender kit!

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.

You should not only get the RWB kit on the Porsche, but also on the R34 GTR. That's hands down the sexiest R34 body style ever.

Man when I get myself a 964 I'd either keep it OEM or get TBK kit

Congragts🎉. Because he knows you ..... This one's gonna be special

Hi! What mount and lens did u use for the interior driving shot?

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

Many many congratulations on purchasing your dream I absolutely love the colors on it can you do the video on old Mercedes which was parked next to Porsche

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

love the yellow on the 964

Yip Feng , aren’t you getting 997 ?! Hurry !

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

Dino da GOAT 🐐

I think if you do go to the RWB route, you should do something special, like smooth non riveted fender flares, it'll look good dude, especially in yellow or are you thinking of respraying it?

Definitely do it

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. N/A, of course :) I can't believe using a 996 6 speed in an aircooled 911 is a thing now because I didn't know it existed!

You owe it to them, they owe it to you. That said, you better never let this go. I want to see the video in 20 years of you giving the keys to your son (just to borrow).

おめでとう！

Please keep color

Get a sequential gearbox. Not sure if that would be your kinda thing as a daily. lol Also when you showed the SpeedHunters sticker on the window of RWB HQ I noticed the Crosspoint Racing Team sticker. I randomly bumped into the owner of that team at RWB HQ. We both happened to stop by at the same time looking for Nakai san but he wasn't there. The guy gave me a Crosspoint Racing Team sticker while he stuck that one on the window. This was back in 2017. I still have the exact same one on my MacBook Air.

Beautiful car! I respect the RWB but it’s not for me.

YESSS! You should do it! Having a RWB Porsche is cool and all, but the connection you’re making worldwide with other RWB owners truly makes it special. I’ve done it and can’t wait for Nakai San to build my 2nd RWB. Hope you’ll join us soon brother!

Slant nose RWB!!
