It’s three subcultures all rolled into one. This car certainly raised eyebrows.
How far are you willing to go for the love of a particular car culture? Aquilla is not afraid to go to extremes for his love of a particular car culture. The Honolulu resident, Hawaii, has been fascinated by Japanese car culture since he was armed with Irezumi. His Subaru BRZ slammed car embodies three subcultures – it’s as controversial as it sounds.
Aquilla’s BRZ requires more than a thousand hours of aftermarket time, which is fine.
This BRZ, located just an inch below the ground, is a representation of the Shakotan subculture. It means that the BRZ can be positioned as low as possible. Aquilla stated that the ride is very bumpy due to the fixed suspension. We are not surprised.
Aquilla also mentions Onikyan which is a subculture that means ‘demon camber. The Subaru’s negative camber is so strong that it practically runs on the tires’ sidewalls. The rear wheels are 18×12 inches wide while the front is 18×13 inches. The rear camber is set at ridiculously low -63, while the front camber is set at 50. This means that the BRZ’s steering wheels can only turn 180 degrees, making U-turns impossible.
Are those exhaust pipes visible at the back Aquilla’s BRZ? These are the Bosozoku exhaust pipes. It is very common among many types of Japanese cars such as sedans, vans, and Kei, but it’s quite fascinating to see it on a slammed coupe.
Aquilla is aware of how the public perceives his car but doesn’t care. It is loved by some, and hated by others. We are all for each other and applaud him for pursuing his dreams rather than listening to others.
What do you think? Is this a crazy car build? Is it crazy or just plain cool? Please share your thoughts with us.
