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.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
