I love RWB Porsches. I'm watching this thread closely.

I'm excited to see the project posted here, thanks for sharing.

People...have an open mind. Looks to be a promising quality build. Good luck and take pictures!

Definitely can't go wrong with the color. I'm very interested in how this will play out. I'm sure it'll be great. A mix of the old and new world for the 993s

^^^^
As I understand it, yes. He installs every single one. Flies to location anywhere in the world. Can't say he's not a hard worker.

OP, I think your thread is changing some minds on here!

You are correct Niche. Each kit is hand installed only by Nakaii himself. Whether that be at a RWB affiliated shop or a customers personal space.

Cage is in the car. Looks so clean like it came from the factory



New exhaust is in. Sounds 1000% better.



Hopefully will be able to get some video sound clips soon.

would you say the exhaust is lighter than stock? looks good. You choose a good welder.
Please post sound clips. Nice cage install, you should get app biz rear carpet and remove the rear seating.

Visit your local tuner shop and find some scroth Harnesses an Recaro bucket seats.

Much much lighter since we incorporated the cats into the mufflers and remove the side mufflers and the factory cats.

Remove the back seats, they're no longer accessible.

I second the sound clip! Exhaust looks great.
