What does RWB mean?!?! In one word it means FAMILY. First of all RWB (aka RAUH-Welt Begriff) is not just a brand but a group of friends/enthusiasts that have one common interest/passion: the joy of machine. Building and modifying Porsches and driving them.
There are many members in this RAUH-Welt group and some don't even drive air cooled Porsches...... There are old school Toyota Ae86s, Nissan Sylvia, and also a few water cooled Porsche 996 GT3s...
But in the past 5 years, the RWB name became synonymous with mostly air cooled Porsches.... A passion that Nakai has and is familiar with. From 930-964-993.
His passion for modifying was with his work on his personal first Porsche 930. He modified his Porsche to his style and as a track weapon. People loved his work/style that they asked him to start modifying their air cooled Porsches also... And the rest was history...
He must be doing something right since people all over the world love his cars.
It is a love/hate relationship. You either love it or you don't.
Nakai-San /RWB is just another avenue of modding of classic Porsches just like Magnus Walker and Singer.
I LOVE all three of these tuners..... All have a different take to modding and style. And they all look good in my eyes.
As for "all show and no go" comment.... I beg to differ......
Most of the RWB cars in Japan are club raced and there is even a 12 hour endurance race which close friends and RWB customers are invited to attend every year.

Every RWB car is different and unique and is built per customers request and specs...... Just the same way as each one of us modify our cars...... some modify their cars and some don't, and modifications are either tame or extreme.
Anyways, if you are able to watch Nakai-San build a RWB car in person and see the perfection to detail and time he puts toward each car, u will understand what PASSION is all about.
He is the most humble guy and is friendly to all..... And he respects all other tuners and their ideas.
So before u judge a guy and blast him and his builds, get to know that person. You can't judge a book by its cover and there are more than one way to skin a cat.
I've met and known Nakai for about 3 years now and I am honored to have him and the rest of the INTERNATIONAL RWB members as my family and friends.
He is just like us: loves Porsches, loves to modify, and drive the heck outta them.

Oh yeah on the topic of Leh Keen's RWB build for his father's gift
I was in SF watching Nakai-San working on Keen's red 993 before Sema and Nakai returned after Sema to finish.
It came out beautiful
Here are two links to the car

+1 on RWB I like the look & the culture behind it. Next trip to Japan I'll be heading to Chiba to visit the shop. I like the over the top 964/993 look.
