I've seen a couple of videos of Japanese cars with extreme wheel camber, let's hope this trend doesn't start here frown

I'm guessing these cars are a potential death trap on the open road?

Is that safe? Surely it can't be legal to drive on the road on regular tyres like that?

Have seen quite a few cars in the UK with that sort of camber already (corsa, lupo, golf mk5, mx5 mk1 and a civic).

They do look silly, but when you see the occupants you can sort of see a link biggrin

I like camber if it's functional , for instance the btcc cars run mad camber because it's needed .

Proper drift cars run a few degrees of camber on the front cause it's needed for the handling.

All the dubberzzzzz who drive around in lupos with 5 degree camber on the rear for looks are just idiots.

Whilst I don't like the look I'm still waiting to see proof posted of the accidents this type of thing causes?

It seems every time it's mentioned on here everyone jumps up and down about how dangerous doing this is, but no-one seems to have any proof other (I know f all about camber so flame me if you must lol)

Do you really mean that? It's only a passing craze, give it a year or two (if that) and they'll have moved on to something else - or grown up.

why? for not following the most pathetic, idiotic, moronic, utterly crap, mindless sheep following the heard, fashion crazy ever to hit the automotive world?

there's a million ways to modify you car without making yourself look a total , go over to the readers drives section, there's a huge eclectic mix of modified cars in their from cosworth powered mini's to a fiesta being rebuilt to a stunning standard of work to red victor 3!

Are you serious? Did you see the videos? One is driving on the side walls, and the steering is fked. I could stick a big spike on the front of my car and claim is was safe because no one has been killed by it yet.

Modifying by retards will see laws introduced to ban it all.

in 10 years time everyone who has done this will look back and think what a bellend i am

i spent a fortune in my youth modding cars, including then craze of sticking 30 giant spot lights on the front to look like a group b rally car, at one point i had 6 9" 150 watt spots in a cluster, what a bellend

i then modified my XR4i with an engine rebuild and upgrade, turbo charging, genuine cosworth front end trim, new rims, suspension, brakes, stainless exhaust and a respray, i could have bought a bloody cosworth for less, what a bellend
