Oni Camber

glasswars · Post by **glasswars** » Fri Apr 16, 2010 9:27 am

Oni ( 鬼 ) is the Japanese word for demon or ogre. When it comes to cars, it’s about running the absolute craziest amount of camber possible and in the pursuit of going over the top, wheels are coming close to sitting horizontally – supporting the cars weight on a contact patch of no more than 2 inches a corner in some cases.

thats just nuts, look like the tires still have the stickers on them, they just must go through them that quickly. can these cars turn a corner, if so how and i would like to see that.

those equip wheels are hot

ok i really have to ask.

- doesnt the wear the tire fast?
- whats the top speed you can go doing this 5mph
- why would anyone do that ?

then my opinion
- this has got to be one of the gayest things i have seen done to a car!

Looks pretty stupid...

Of all the stupid trends out there, this is prob the worst.

"Let's see...stretching tires isn't unsafe enough, so let's run on just the sidewall!". Fucking morons.

I'm waiting for the ultimate stupid trend that simply kills the driver as soon as the key is turned. Call it the Kicky Fast Pow Death trend. Sweet.

I can see when the car is parked and have the camber that extreme, but not while driving.. very unsafe I will have to say..

This new camber trend is the dumbest fucking thing ever. Might aswell put bicycle tires on your car.

1972demon · Post by **1972demon** » Fri Apr 16, 2010 2:29 pm

i think you got an idea, sretch motorcycle tires and then you have more of a side contect patch, therefore you can have more camber, good thinking.

oh wow, that is a little overboard, subtle camber looks good, not that shit though

The Japanese Vip-style looked good but this is sick.

Can't like it.

Oh yeah? I'll see your Oni and raise you a hover conversion!

Top that camber!

Yikes... looks like the only cambre I still like is on the rear wheels of my 325i

Better to be pissed off than pissed on, eh John?

Er wait, you're joining the NAVY, it's not piss they use, is it?

I just ran out there with my wimpy camera and shot this so pardon the roughness. The camber is subtle but noticeable; camber in the rear is a little more than -.5 since it's lowered.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Fri Apr 16, 2010 6:38 pm

I'd have never noticed...

It's more visible from a greater distance but Barney's in the drive way.

My dad's 07 civic si sedan has negative camber, subtle, but noticable. Supposedly for performance purposes though. Always, my friends 99 BMW 323is also has negative camber, performance purposes as well.

Mopar_Korean · Post by **Mopar_Korean** » Fri Apr 16, 2010 8:41 pm

A small amount (like -2.5*)of negative camber in the front does increase cornering performance at the price of launching traction and braking grip.

But this is simply retarded. All the weight of the car is on a contact patch of ~2" per corer. And its not like they are driving the lightest car around. I doubt those tire last 200 miles. Tire sidewalls are only a few ply thick.

And no Anthony, your not allowed to do this to your neon.
