Before it became a bit of a fad ... did you all see videos of owners in Japan racing the sht out of their RWB creations? Probably at least 10 years ago now. That is some real deal not just parked at c&c or YouTube content heroes. To each their own, as they say.
Those were the days of early RWB cars; raw and a far cry from show queens of many of today's builds. Again, to each their own. Reminded me of 2.1 turbos, 2.8 RSRs, and 993 GT2RSRs, I'm ok with that. The roots of RWB and idlers is car enthusiasts gathering, cruising, and going racing with modified Porsches. Naiki San capitalized on his personal form of hot rods: chop, cut, glue, slam, drop in a hot motor and send it. Sounds like a recipe for fun to me and who wouldn't (capitalize on what customers want)? Thats how the world goes 'round
Now what is really lame IMO (yup, one more opinion coming right up): a RWB going to c&c with a stock motor out back, now thats a hack job right there
