No. Excessive camber just looks f**king stupid. Stop pretending its cool.

-D

tell that to race cars. oh no i might get camber wear on my tyres!!

the camber it runs is for practical reasons, it's only really noticeable compared to other track cars due to the fact you can actually see the wheels poking outside the guard and they aren't sunken to shit, also the way the guard tapers in towards the bottom exaggerates the look of camber.

but thanks for your input, it's not like i have any experience setting up car's suspension, so this was helpful...

Different people have different opinions - I don't see it's any reason to get upset or start slinging insults around.

Some people don't see a point in the 'stance' or 'big camber' movement, whilst others love it. At the end of the day, it's just a thing of personal taste - though I can see how Dohmar's reply could be seen as a criticism or personal attack.

it isn't demon camber which is a cosmetic statement, it's a decent amount of camber for a drift car which uses the setting for practical reasons.

I apologise if I thought the camber on that vehicle was purely cosmetic - the stylisation of the picture, and the context of a car in Japan - I think it's a pretty easy mistake to make - especially given the lack of information provided about the vehicle. To my mind, this simply looked like a car in Japan that nisskid liked that was part of the camber/stance scene in Japan (that I understand to be quite popular, based on magazines/online articles I've read). Personally, I think that - in the right context - the stance/high-camber look is pretty sweet for purely cosmetic reasons - though it wouldn't pass muster in Australia due to police. But as I said in my earlier comment - to each their own.

Either way, it seems as though you guys are more familiar with the car - and that it has a purpose in this instance. Obviously cars that are used in drifting tend to use large amounts of camber. Any more information on it available?

there's not heaps to it, i bought it in 2010, with just coilovers and a mechanical diff, and performance wise it hasn't really changed as the car is a work horse, it not only drifts, it also has seen a lot of road trips across japan, and at near on $1.80-1.90 a litre over there, it's gotta be fuel efficient haha. i have drifted the car in a few competitions, a whole lot more events, and the stock rb20 does a great job. the body work was done last year, and it now runs modified knuckles up front a long with cut and shut lca's for additional clearance and camber. the wheels are 15x9 -45 and 15x8 -40 with 195/50's all round, it's designed to look good, but it doesn't get princessed around, it gets thrashed pretty hard and has the scars to show for it.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
