Can't fix stupid. It must have taken a hell of a lot of effort to force the IRS into that kind of camber... and since the axles are U-joints and not CV the wheels aren't going to rotate "linearly" in relation to the diff output rotation...
Neeh, it'a not stupid, in Japan this is close to a cult.
There is some distaste stuff, but most have absolute beautiful cars, do their modifications with great eye for detail, beautiful bodywork on most of them, and the lower the better.
Most are not bagged, hence 'some' problems getting over a bumb.
Watch it, I will never do this to my car, but I love to see this a million times over the rat-*** tuned cars in most countries.
I won't say that the craftsmanship and detail and ingenuity isn't there.
But just because someone could make an inch-accurate life-size space shuttle using nothing but macaroni, doesn't mean it's suitable to fly to the moon.
To each their own, but for me, it's a show lifestyle that doesn't appeal to me.
Japan is a unique place, they are an island country with limited space that is already overpopulated and the general populace travels via commuter services. So little niche' things are what they have to set themselves apart as individuals. They generally don't travel far, so rides like this work for them. One thing is though, is when they set their minds to doing something like this, or anything they do, they tend to be very meticulous about it.
I love Japan, I so want to go back there for the 2020 Olympics....actually I hope to get there before that.

Forget about meticulous.
Think about the engineering that goes into making one of these silly looking cars.
They need to science the **** out of this to make one of these cars work.
Notice, none of them have the same camber angle, so all of these are custom built. The math alone to make this work is giving me a headache.

I'll agree on the "to each their own" on everything there except for the camber.

This is what I was saying in my earlier post, after having the rear end out of these cars I can only imagine how much work it took to set it up that way...
Also the blue headlights are terrible. The ones in that link may just look blue from the outdoor color balance but... Increased glare to oncoming traffic, reduced road visibilty for the driver, just to look "high-end" or something. I could rant about that all day, that and people who run high beams around traffic. It's one of those things that's technically illegal in the area but it's never enforced, and most people who run them just throw in the cheapest fleabay HID kit they can find in their fogged headlights and don't put a second thought in if the bulb fits.
I saw a BMW M Sport Badge on the back on an S Type today, which was bad enough. But when I saw the owner had also fitted tiger skin style seat covers I had to avert my eyes.
Have you noticed they attached half the fenders to the hood and hinged the whole assembly to the frame to access the engine compartment? It would had looked nicer if they had fabbed in some XJ8 fog lights as opposed to those redneck slap on ones.
Actually it looks like some quick descent work. I favor Broncos....but this would be fun nonetheless.

I noticed the hood, but it looks like he has seam line-up problems when it's closed.

At least the windows are semi-tinted so no one would see you driving it.
