The R31 is a chunky machine. StreetJam's version takes that chunky style to the cool school.

It only takes a couple of tiny extras to add some flair (or Flare) to the Sykline.

The colour really contrasts on the camera. perhaps better than in person.

these are just some small tips.

Street Jam' s smaller size TE37 are a perfect match.

A mini shoot with the RWB.

It's hard to tell which is bigger.

The shape of the porsche plays tricks on you while the R31 is solid.

While the RWB is set to return to the shelf for a while, this Skyline will be mashing it up.

RWB. Delicate Battle.

RWB993 - G-Force Kyu @ GCRC Raceway. Kakko ii!

Nakai-san's RWB Rauh Welt Begriff  or Rough World Porsches have inspired many.  

Something about super low, super wide and super fast all have something to do with it.

 I created this machine as one of 2 for some friends a while back at the peak of RWB influence.

I was running a RWB inspired FD3s RX7 at the time.

This was the third of my RWB inspired creations and was ultimately the best.

What I created is a machine that is 180mm at the front and 225mm at the rear on a 257mm wheelbase.
getting the extra 7mm of wheelbase was a definite challenge.

The rear +9 Work Miester wheels sit on an 8.5mm hub with a further 2mm spacer. So effectively the rear offset is +16.5mm. But the ultimate choice of +12 5 Spoke rims equates to +19.5mm to fill the rear.

Because of the massive flared fenders and curvaceous style of the 993, the actiual width is not as noticible. This RX7 is still only 200mm but the imagery looks much wider than the Porsche. 

The front is a differnt story. the Front rims are +9 on a 3mm hub. so effectively only +8 and tuck nicely. the rx7 on the other hand runs +11 on a 4mm hub. It's this difference in widths that make the porsche an interesting image on track.

There were a few delicate battles as I decided whether I'd use the Porsche to it's full potential or just try not to crash.

I don't know which one was in granny mode.

But with a change to wider rims and gave it some more power, It was on!

The DRB 2.2 was the perfect base for the RWB.

I took some pretty slow exposure shots, but this machine needs to be seen for your own eyes.

The camera won't really capture how cool it is.

If you get the right angle... It looks amazing.

I named this G-Force 9 for many reasons but as Nakai-san also does, maybe the true reasons are best kept secret.

RWB Projects. Gemini Projects. Overdosed!

The RWB is back on track, but as usual, it's just one of many underway.

lights enhanged, wing enhanced, interior refit, Side skirts trimmed, body line repair. good to go, but as yet, not for battle.

 My German Racers Paradise Opel Kadett aka Holden Gemini has arrived and is already unwrapped and trimmed.

The details are good, but I'll need to make some Holden items. Remembering this was my first real car, I'll try to do it justice.

Scale is large, but will suit running with friends old school bodies like the KE20 corollas and rally inspired Escorts. 

to make sure they both don't end up in the wall, I have some hard to find newish steering componentry for my red DRB. OD to the rescue.

RWB G-Force #9 - Progress Update

It's time to get serious with the G-Force #9 RWB Porsche. Almost 6 months since start. One more day should complete it.

Cobalt Grey with flat clear coat. I will be doing the panel lines on this one and then updating the 34 also.

So close I can smell it. ... haha. the paint is fresh!

RWB G-Force #9 - Progress Update

Time to start getting excited. Almost ready for final paint.

Side steps are a good addition.

A few gaps to fill. but basically the shell is done. Paint and finish to come.

RWB G-Force #9 - Progress Update

Getting there... Slowly.



The curves are good even if the sides are a bit wobbly. The price you pay for pain.

A little bit of paint.

Miesters and Active "Rubber"

A bit wobbly, but we shall work it out with a lower "Cap"

RWB G-Force #9 - Progress Update

Now I was quite happy with this point, The BBS display rims are an awesome match!

It's more or less ready for paint. But comments from forums and friends have me attempting some side skirts so the lower section will be covered.

This one will be a bit more aggressive. It is RC after all. Reality need not apply here.

These rear fenders have a bit more going on than the last one.

But anyway, I have some polycarbonate on and it's complying to the shape I want. Just takes time now to complete and strengthen.

I might change the name from G-force to "Peggy Sue"
