FEATURE – RWB “DOUBLE TROUBLE” PART 2

Yuji Itoh is a self confessed Porsche nut but he’s taken things a few steps further with what is probably the craziest 930 I’ve ever had the chance to shoot. It’s risen from the ashes once before, thanks to a little incident that Yuji had at a circuit a few years ago but looking at it now, you’d have to say it looks absolutely amazing in its current form. Wanna take a closer look? Read more

FEATURE – RWB “DOUBLE TROUBLE” PART 1

It seems as if everyone in the foreign media in Japan is jumping on the RWB bandwagon of late and we are unashamedly too happy to take the drivers seat in bringing you these awesome creations; the two latest cars to grace the 7Tune site coming courtesy of Yuji Pogi and Takashi Ishii.

EVENT – 2011 IDLERS 12 HOUR ENDURO: THE GRID

Before I said farewell to the RWB workshop in Chiba earlier this month, Nakai san handed me a little yellow ticket that had some special writing on it: “Credential Pass”.

Let’s take a look around the grid before getting stuck into the action on the track later that morning… Read more

For Part 2, we’re going to have another look around the outside of the workshop simply because it was bursting at the seams with Porsche goodness and then we’ll venture inside the Man Cave, have a good look around and take a long look at a few RWB creations that are either ready to go or on their way… Read more

TUNERS – IT’S A RAUH WORLD: PART 1
