- Sean likes to talk about
overrated and underrated cars. It's kind of his thing. And it generally ends up with a few people questioning his experience
(loud farting) and the fact that he's way too quiet. I mean, the man loves PT GT
(screaming) and new gen Mustang. I love them anyway, but the question does
drive a hard bargain. What is the hype not worth
the squeeze that is cringing? Why do people spend so much
time and money on Yeezys when they're just shoes? Why do we buy fancy vodka? When the $8 stuff is
gonna get us just as heavy in terms of making questionable decisions? Because it's fun. Damn it. That's why I'm Alex. Alex.FI on Instagram. And today we're gonna
be talking about a car that's a little bit like buying
an expensive bottle of vodka only to mix it into wop and
pretty much die, not wap. We're not talking about that. We're just going to talk about
falling asleep on the floor, not tik tok. A car that divides the community about as much as the
recent political debates. And I feel bad for just about anyone that doesn't have ad blocker right now. A car that no matter what
your opinion is on it, will cause you to break your neck and probably say to yourself,
"I probably wanna by one." Ladies and gentlemen,
we're going to be talking about you wanting to own an RWB Porsche. - Time make the donut. (upbeat music) (tires squealing) (upbeat music) - And if you're just
jumping into this video, (clapping hands) Hi. Don't forget to subscribe so I can keep making videos like this. And if you look for aftermarket wheels, tires is a suspension for your
newly acquired Porsche Boxer that you secretly wished was with RWB, be sure to check us out
over @fitmentindustries.com where you have literally
everything you need from like work to forge stars, to rhoda
forms, to everything, like look at the wall behind us. We got all of it Pretty neat. I really hope the wall doesn't fall. RAUH-Welt BEGRIFF, alright
or RWB has quite the history. Starting with a man that
loves Coca Cola and cigarettes about as much as I love
ramen, tough to believe. I know. Akira Nakai founded RWB
based on his love for the American racing movies in the late 1900's. He would start this new found scene in love in Ibaraki, Japan
and began with a Toyota 8086, not a Porsche, actually fun fact. The actual rough world
name became associated with automotive hooligan activity
and the Tou Gey roads of Japan. Not only did people love to, you know, drive cars like they stole
them, especially on those roads. Some did that, but also the
Japanese automotive culture was really growing into
and becoming intertwined with the expression of
the person that owned it. You have to remember folks in America, we may feel like we're
pressured into being someone we're not through the use of
capitalistic nature of our upbringing, but Japan's inherent culture's built around doing everything for the greater whole, for selflessness. So a lot of times you don't
really get to express yourself and this results in a very
moderate control lifestyle. Now, cars, motorcycles,
or people's unique, and almost only outlet to showcase who they wanted to be represented up. The car did not only go sideways, they were also extremely expressive. They were loud! Alright, obnoxious,
modifications were crazy they had all sorts of little crazy gidgets and things like that. And that's what people like Nikai used to express themselves
back in the day. Now, Rough World's Playground
embodied that culture 8086's, JZX's were all
modified so heavily, that became barely
recognizable only to be used by the driver for "Tou-GE" roads at capturing as much
attention as humanly possible. And that's why they're
so crazy all the time. Some of the very initial
ideas of stance, stretch, straight pipes, over fenders
and all that stuff from an aesthetic point of view,
came from the Nakai and his group of friends
back in the date in Japan, a lot of that can be traced back to him. Nakai founded that group and
over time became one of the most respected automotive clubs in Japan. We know RWB for Porsche but
that wasn't until the later 90's that Nakai even began playing
lumber logs with 993's. Back then it just wasn't
that big of a deal because air cooled Porsche's
weren't inherently. Don't be mad at me. Don't be upset. But they really weren't that special. They weren't, the Porsche's
993's and 964's, the turbos and everything in between
had a lineage of Porsche. Sure. Alright. But they weren't what we
know or think of them now. Alright, I don't know
why, but then was not now, then was with a different what. Today's, why for those then is different. Now, make sense. The Porsche's of them weren't cars that people spend six figures on. They were just another
European sports car. They just did things and stuff, but they weren't really rare. They weren't a car, you
didn't go not do stuff to, you just did. Nakai just did, when he got his first one and all that doing really
started with a 939-11 that came into the shop
damaged and in pieces. He would be 28 at the time. And that would make the
decision to kind of build it out like his old 86, but with a German touch. And from that point RWB was founded. It would end up taking a little
bit over half a decade for this company to truly be founded. But once it was Akira
Nakai would then introduce Porsche's Stella Artois, his then first RWB Porsche
named after his favorite beer. The creativity of the first
RWB builds can be taken back to the 70's and the 934 racing groups back that Porsche's had, which had
inherently huge wide arches, wider wheels, big wings for down force and intakes all throughout
the front bumper for down force and cooling. It's actually where a lot of
this designing came from all key pieces that RWB would then
carry into their body kit, design work, plus a little
sauce and salt on top of that. As the years progressed, the
interest in RWB grew with it. The design style and interest
would hit international waters and companies began to
recognize the small garage and partner brands, businesses, and personalities with the build. SEMA also helped with
growing the RWB industry for a Akira Nakai things
were on the up and up. But even as the company grew RWB well, they really just didn't. The staffing of RWB remained small, unique and inherently flawed on purpose. The hundreds of kit that
Akira Nakai would then build with his team would remain just
that there would be built by him and his team Unique, different, and all
bespokely installed by him. The design work would remain
flawed because they just are like the days of improperly
measured Ferrari doors. The RWB kits would come
with little bits and pieces, but not enough just to slap
them on without Nakai taking a 10 millimeter to bash in
the couple areas to massage the mesh into place on the front bumper. It's why it's so fun to watch (foreign language) That's Spanish for, but as well, we're not here to talk
about the history of RWB. You want that? Just go watch our previous video where that's literally all that we do. Okay. We're here to talk
about you wanting to own one of these bad boys. Okay. So you want an RWB Porsche. Alright we'll set down the ACH payment and grab your favorite credit
union to take a loan out, because we're about to talk
about what it's like to own one of these wide, beautiful yet
inherently odd looking cars. If you're looking to own or
fantasize about owning an RWB Porsche, there's probably two things that you're going to
want to know beforehand. Owning by building an RWB is an experience that is unlike anything else you'll probably experience
in the automotive life. The experience of actually
having Nakai come and install the kit by hand is so
incredibly interesting. And it's just something
that no one else does. You've seen people like crispy
and how CEO's shoot videos on the installation of these kits
only to want to watch 10 more because of how interesting it is. Not only that, but if you watch
the other 9 million videos out there on the build process, there's always something quirky
and interesting that he does with your car or the owner. He names it, he builds
it, he drives it harder than you would and he learns who you are. Nearly, every build is
something different. And that one off design work and build is one of the main reasons we love the car so much, is to express ourself. However, because of that, there's quite a bit that goes
into building these unique builds and it's still, well, you know, it's still hand-built. I'm not kidding when
I say a wrench is used to bend the mesh around the front bumper in terms of your inlets,
but that is the truth. Okay. There's just some weird stuff
that has to go on to make the whole kit flow together. Nakai breeds controversy through the use of installation tactics. I mean, he eyes up quite
a bit from the molds to the cuts every once in a while, and nearly all the parts and
pieces he sources to install your $30,000 kit on your
$100,000 Porsche are sourced from his local hardware
store in Chiba, Japan. I'm just letting that one
soak in just to touch. And that's just it. He uses his finger for the gasket seal. Okay. He is comfortable with imperfections. He measures his wheel bases
and he definitely looks at it from that point of view and
make sure things are even, but not in the way most
people would believe it would actually be done. There's some things that
are just imperfectly perfect about it. And that's 100% what makes the
RWB Porsche's so damn neat. Jumping into an RWB
already built will cost you quite a bit of money, as most of them go for like 135, $145,000. Mostly because it was the kit
that was done and the paint and the parts and the wheels
and all that sort of stuff. It it's expensive. But a lot of RDVBS are having
motor work done to it as well. Don't be fooled Porsche's
are still expensive to modify the motors. Anyone that tells you
different is a big fat phony. - That's right. You're a big fat phony. - Alright hat paired
with the massive wheels, which are usually CCWs or SSRS
Toyo tires and KWV threes. And you're spending
upwards of 15 to 20,000, just in some basic cosmetic wheels, tires and suspension from
fitmentindustries.com, maybe. As if owning an unreliable
air cooled Porsche is unconventional enough, now
you've got to pay more for VW that sometimes look like it held in something for
just a little bit too long. But that's, what's so cool about this car. And the simple fact that having
an RWB car gets you into a whole new environment,
a whole new community, a whole new mentality,
the cars were just there. And once you have one, you're
invited into this group and community of people that also did it, but they were just like any
other wide bodied car, often, sometimes more noise and less reliability, but nobody really cares. The point of owning one of these is truly have something different. The Golden Nakai and RWB
has always remained the same to build neat and weird
cars that push the envelope of what's normal to people
like you and people like me. Whether the community chooses
to believe that or not, doesn't change the fact that
he's going to keep cutting up air cooled Porsche's because
it looks cool, and it's fun. And he takes them all
around the track in Japan so what can you say. But what do you think about RWB Porsche? Let us know of course. And if you're looking
for after market wheels, tires or suspension, be sure to hit us up over

and we will see you later. Peace. (upbeat music)
