Don't talk silly bollocks.

With air ride and camber it looks stupid and has ruined a classic.

The same wheels and more suitable lows without the stupid camber and it would look awesome.

That just looks shit. Plane and simple.

There's a local little douche that has a car with silly camber, drives around like a maniac thinking he's the big I am. Everyone else see's him driving a shite car with silly wheels.

Outside of the Internet you are as cool as a summers afternoon in Rio

90s? It was built in 1981.

Secondly, the use of the word 'square' in that context is probably older than the car, which no doubt you'll now say was your ironic intention even though it wasn't.

I'm not sure how my opinion makes me an idiot either but I'm sure you'll explain.

i hate pop up lights, which is why i think it looks a lot better in the 2nd set of pics.

there was nothing wrong with it at standard height though tbh.

Isn't the rear camber just how it goes when lowered?

I know on my viva it goes a bit positive which I want to change somehow.

Struggling to work out how you would make the camber on the rear like that on a RWD car?!

So for it to be perfect it needs to be put back to standard. So yes it has been ruined , even if it can be un-ruined.


Haha i wouldnt say its ruined because alot of work has gone into making it right, like a full restoration, they have just done things that most people dislike but wouldnt take much atall to rectify it IMO

Do you know what; you could be right and I'm sure I said exactly the same thing then. It would be nice without the stupid camber and pointless lows.

I agree with your previous comment about the OP picture not doing it justice. One's you posted are much better.

The rear would camber because of the IRS setup i'd assume.
Whats the rear setup on your viva?
