Hi fellas,

In Japan, some people love the Oni-Kyan look aka Demon Camber. This is where the camber of the wheels stick out and fold semi-flat almost looking as if it ran over a huge rock and the camber arms have broken, but the Japanese love this look. I was wondering if anyone in Aus is into this stuff and whether the damn car is still driving??

It's cool do a degree, like the second and last picture are winning. 1st and 3rd are a bit over the top.

We had an event over here called Rising Sunday, there were quite a few cars sporting such fitment. The ones that weren't trailered got stickered.

Yeah it is isn't it...but with this ridiculous camber one must wonder how can you go fast?

They are show cars, they aren't designed to go fast... I dont even know how they drive to be honest but have seen a few DVD's with the cars moving so they obviously can... I'm not a fan, but each to their own i guess!

The Soarer looks OK...

I've seen quite a few drift cars with around -20 degrees of camber, eg.

Lots of them do it to the front wheels and have the backs at around -0.5. So it's definitely still driveable and able to take a beating if it's done properly. Which that Celica is NOT by the way :P

i like it. cause it's for fun. Why not?

people that hate it (and make a huge effort to vocalise their hatred for it) seem to think it's some sort of try-hard fashion thing. it's not.

I saw a thing on speedhunters a while ago where they were talking to owners of oni-cambered cars, and they did 100% for fun. They know it's horribly impractical, that's not the point. We all get huge amounts of fun from our cars, what does it matter one way from another?

mexico has the "lo-rida", japan has this shit lol. you'd be stupid to drive around with that sort of camber though, even if it is just for the lulz/fun. and that soarer! i knew they can look decent, takes a shit load of wheel and fitment to do it though!

A lot of ppl are surprised/shocked at the 'demon camber' styled tuning. It's somewhat tame in comparison to Some of thier 'vanning' culture.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
