around to see what was going on...
...this is what I was confronted with. Kawashima had just arrived with his "controversial-spec" Celica after driving all the way down from Tokyo. So I guess that takes care of establishing if it's functional or not!
It is a car that everyone at the show, and by now the entire internet, was talking about so there is no hiding that what he set out to do was well and truly achieved. I mean look at this thing! 15º of negative camber...
...and fenders hacked to pieces to make the wheels sit just right. Obviously this is a work in progress but I'm sure he just couldn't wait to show it off to the world.
And so it's on to the crazy rear wheels. Yes the stretched 215-section tires actually do bead to the rim, and hold air...well...kind of. Apparently on the way down to the show Kawashima had to stop and fill them with air a few times as they very slowly loose pressure.

One of the most controversial cars at the Exciting Car Showdown was this Toyota Celica and it’s -15 degrees of camber. If the camber isn’t ridiculous enough, you have to see the rear wheel and how a large portion of the wheel isn’t even anywhere near the tire! Apparently the tire is beaded and seats to that portion of the wheel and this car is actually driveable. You’ve probably seen a couple shots of the rear of this Celica floating around on the internet. I first caught an image of it on Facebook and I thought it was either a joke or a photoshopped image…
Stuff like this is when you realize that the whole low offset/stance thing has gone completely overboard…It just looks totally ridiculous. I was reading about this car on Speedhunters and apparently this Celica really does drive like this and drove all the way down to Nagoya from Tokyo. The owner had to stop and fill the tire up because it was slowly losing air…..man, just unbelievable… imagine how unsafe this is on a public road…I don’t know what this guy is trying to prove but this is way too much….
Gonna stop off here for today. Back with part 2 tomorrow… thanks for looking!
