Oni-Kyan Aka ‘Demon Camber’

[Spunky Munky]

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.

Insane!

It's pretty crazy actually. It's quite common in Japan. Do it hear and get defected, right?

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

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?

Gee driving something like the above would surely scare the crap out of me...it's like it's going to cave in and crush your drive train!! hahaha

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!

LOL! That Honda van looks cool as!

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.
