so you think youve got aggressive camber?

nstg8a · 26-03-2012, 11:32 AM

i love stuff like this, its just so out there its awesome...

yes im sure all the haters will jump on and point out how dangerous it is, and how stupid it looks, but jeez if we all thought the same how boring would we be...

blueoval · 26-03-2012, 11:37 AM

All I can do is laugh. I bet tires will be worn to the wire in less than 200km. Should handle fully sick though.

nstg8a · 26-03-2012, 11:40 AM

yeah i doubt tyre life or handling is real high on the owners priorities lol.

bonus is, once the tyre are worn through the markers just rotate them and wear the other edge off, theres 400km worth of use...

Hood-G6 · 26-03-2012, 11:53 AM

Looks killer. Looks like its been photoshopped tho.

This is my favourite negative camber VIP car:

But most/all other ones are yum too

stalker · 26-03-2012, 11:59 AM

the tyre isnt even on the rim.. even at a stretched point.. their is like half an inch between the edge of the rim and tyre

The camber on that car looks no where near as bad as the OP.

Nikked · 26-03-2012, 12:32 PM

I knew i had agressive camber when i had 90% tires on the front with the inside edge with wires showing lol

not a fan of deamon camber... each to their own...

I don't mind a li'l bit of camber + stretch though.

Uncle Niceguy · 26-03-2012, 01:06 PM

some camber can look really good but to that extent its massively over done and there for overkill and looks horrible but you also need a car that will pull the look off like a particular BMW 5 series e28.

Seeing as the pic is taken in a garage and not on a road or carpark, and the inside of the wheels are on blocks of wood, and we cant see if the wheel nuts are actually on the wheels.

Could it be just setup for a photo so people on forums can go WOW!

blueoval · 26-03-2012, 01:14 PM

I have 1.5 deg neg camber on my car now for hills driving, and thats enough.

Rodge · 26-03-2012, 01:29 PM

I have a client with an Audi S8 that chewed out the inside of the cars tyres within 12,000 km's. $5,000 for a set of OE tyres. He asked the Audi workshop to reset the camber to accomodate a more reasonable tyre life and they refused to change it from factory spec.

I guess if you can afford an Audi S8 you're not supposed to care about little things like $5,000 for a set of tyres every 12,000 km's.

Makes owning and running a SC GT-P look bloody cheap !!

Probably worse than the OP's pic - funny how the stickers on the tyre tread haven't even worn off.

awesome clip, thats the first time ive seen one like that on public roads.

absolutly nuts lol

XP6 · 26-03-2012, 04:08 PM

Its a wonder they havent started making conical shaped tyres yet...

Nikked · 26-03-2012, 04:36 PM

This is my preference on camber lol... I really dig it then the rim of the wheel is just mm's from the lip of the gaurd.

nstg8a · 26-03-2012, 04:48 PM

that is one of the best looking s13's ever i reckon... no rubbish, just nice mods.

Nikked · 26-03-2012, 05:09 PM

Supermade "instant gentleman" kit...nice change from vertex and origin lab kits.

raised by monkeys · 26-03-2012, 05:20 PM

yeah, that s13 is delicious.

Yellow_Festiva · 26-03-2012, 05:26 PM

I was thinking.....

What if a tyre manufacturer made variable profile tyres to allow the aggressive neg camber 'look' without any reduction of traction and road holding??

ie, a tyre that had a 50 series profile on the outside, and a 30 series profile on the inside???

Hmmmmm....

Sorta like the offset Nolathane bushes that modify the placement of the suspension arms to give you 1-1.5 degrees of neg camber.

I reckon that is the most retarded thing I have ever seen, it doesn't even look good.

I don't mind VIP style cars, but not to that extreme.

see, thats what makes it awesome imo... i look at it and think 'how the heck does it even drive'.. id love to see how they go about getting such crazy camber setups like this

your right, it doesnt look good at all, quite ridiculous really...

TheZHLANE · 26-03-2012, 06:52 PM

Phwoaar maaaan check out da camberrrrrr, hektik as!

Jack960 · 26-03-2012, 06:52 PM

It looks terrible which is why its bad. How does it looking bad make it awesome? Some cars have things that are unique and different which makes them awesome, this is not one of them >.<

Not to mention the amount of issues that would come of it.

04redxr8 · 26-03-2012, 07:06 PM

Car in the OP looks like an accident waiting to happen.

Chopped · 26-03-2012, 07:16 PM

It's just a mock-up. The tyres aren't even fitted to the rims by the looks of it.

It is strange how the Japanese have some unique car crazes that seem to spread around the globe though.
I wonder if our "Bogan" look will catch on globally !!

that one may or may not be a mock up but its certainly not a one off...

Where's all the nismo stickers?

I'm laughing too. As you say, the edges would wear out real quick but handling would be non-existant. It wouldn't steer in a straight line, let alone through corners.

My F6 used to handle best at 2 degrees negative around Lakeside. I tried 3.5 degrees once when running slicks and wore out the inside edge so fast that the left hand front blew-out half way through Carousel and I only just managed to pull it up before the fast approaching embankment.
