Is it popular there? Yes - for VIP builds. Hence my comment about radiused fenders and such as well.Originally posted by dharker View PostCorrect me if im wrong but isnt oni kyan or demon camber/extreme camber a style that originated in japan? If thats the ops inspiration and motivation behind the build than props to him. Could use more low and refinement but overall its looking pretty sick.
Other than ONE component of a Japanese styling cue, it does not make the whole car "Japanese" or even remotely inspired. Like I said about the Chinese character on a t-shirt not making the person of Chinese heritage.
One component does not make something something else.
The Japanese also bust out A LOT of amazing cars that have a shit ton of work done to them. Simply adjusting your camber arms to the max and throwing a set of wide wheels on again, does not constitute "I took a lot of inspiration from the Japanese builds." This is not a build. Nor is there a lot of inspiration besides one component of a very popular Japanese look.Last edited by Han; 03-19-2015, 02:11 PM.

It is one component of a common Japanese mod (and even at that, you have A LOT of arch work like radiused fenders). All you did was stick wide wheels on and do a lot of camber. Cool. It's not Japanese. Nor does it look good in this sense.
This is like the equivalent of wearing a t-shirt with Chinese characters on it and it automatically makes you (the person) of Chinese heritage.

I'm in fro the front matching the rear. I think there's too much in the rear for the front to be so tame. But, I like it. So, you did not accomplish your goal of everybody disliking it. BECAUSE I DON'T DISLIKE IT!!!!! Better luck next time noob. :P

I like E36 and I like those HREs. But these Beasts are to radical for that poor E36.

why not? I just didn't want to do something everyone else did... Across the pond in Japan their running like -15 camber super wide wheels and daily static everywhere, i love that style and thats what i built my car around.Originally posted by Tuck&Poke View PostWtf, I seriously don't get this mentality...

Originally posted by Thate34Guy View PostI dont think everyone is used to a stanced m3 with wide wheels without flares, or alot of camber.

I took alot of inspiration from Japanese builds and wanted to do it on a platform that everyone would **** when im done, and i think i have accomplished my goal.
Wtf, I seriously don't get this mentality...

Originally posted by lamsv View PostI would dig it if the front and rear had matching camber and sat to the fenders identically. That is what separates the JDM builds from a majority of the "builds" in the states. The attention to detail they achieve is leaps and bounds ahead of most I've seen this side of the ocean.
I do like where you are going. It is different, and mostly pulled off well.
Add more camber up front like you said, and you are golden!
Thanks man! The front should sit at about -8 or 9 when im done so i can lower it more, and that would even the camber out a bit.
Originally posted by Staggered View PostI think you did that very well
. It would be cool if you could radiuse (spelling?) the rear fender down to the sideskirt. A front radiuse would be awesome too. That would really set off this build.
They kind of are radiused but not all the way. I pull them all the way down to the sideskirt but not really alot, maybe half a inch, in person you can tell that they mold perfectly around the wheel but its hard to capture that in the pictures.
