(Thanks to the book friend "1 Calm" for the 3 monthly passes, I am very happy.)
Under Kazumi's happy and excited urging, Xie Yu simply ate some milk sandwiches and three more eggs before being forced to drive off.
To be honest, although it was a bit unexpected, Xie Yu was very satisfied with his current body. Even though he felt a little fatter than before, his physique had become particularly good, which was strange.
Does being fat mean being strong?
Okay, let’s not talk about it for now. What Xie Yu is driving to now is a repair shop that Xie Yu and Akina speed stars team often visit. The owner of this repair shop, Murakami, is quite famous in the Gunma County car repair circle.
It's just that although this repair shop is in a very remote suburb, it is not in the main city.
Of course, the advantage of this is that this repair shop occupies a large area and really fits the definition of a 'factory', rather than a so-called shop.
Xie Yu, who had frequented it before, knew that this was a reliable repair shop. The owner Murakami was not only famous but also had a good reputation. He could save a lot of trouble by modifying vehicles here.
Because the road was a little remote, Xie Yu drove smoothly. Sometimes when there was a traffic light, Xie Yu also chose to wait for a while and arrived at the repair shop smoothly.
Xie Yu walked into the repair shop, and sure enough, he immediately saw Chi Gu's S13 at the maintenance desk, and said to himself: "Chi Gu, this guy is really impatient."
At this time, Xie Yu saw another man in uniform, who looked to be in his thirties, slightly older, and looked a bit rich.
This person was Murakami, the owner of the repair shop, but he seemed to be talking to Ikegaya in the car.
Then, Chigu's S13 immediately made that disturbing noise.
This kind of sound is the "noise" produced by the car when the engine is running at a special high speed. The sound of an ordinary car engine is very different.
Sound is something that everyone has different opinions about. In Xie Yu's opinion, the best sound should be the gradual buzzing the moment you step on the accelerator, rather than the quiet noise like a tractor.
Generally speaking, it is difficult for naturally aspirated engines to express such things as sound.
Most turbocharged engine sounds will only give an evenly distributed decibel output.
Of course, Xie Yu felt that the sound the S13 engine made at this time was no different than a bunch of cans tied to the back of the car. It was really playing tricks on other people's ears!
Xie Yu stepped forward and only heard Murakami say: "Chigu, if you want the car to run faster, you have two options. One is to increase the horsepower, and the other is to make the body as lightweight as possible."
"Ikegaya, you can also listen to the sound of the engine. The S13's 1.8-liter ca18det turbocharged engine has a power output of 168 horsepower. Under extreme circumstances, I have tuned it to the limit of 205 horsepower."
"Any more will affect the service life of this 1.8-liter ca18det turbocharged engine."
These words made Xie Yu nod. In fact, compared to his old ae86, this s13 also adopts the FR (front-rear drive) layout, has a light body, low price, and great engine modification potential.
Moreover, the special viscous limited-slip differential and four-wheel steering system allow car owners to regain their unique advantages.
Although one of the big regrets of the S13 is the braking system, the performance of the front and rear single-piston brake calipers is unsatisfactory.
However, many modified car owners have also upgraded the braking system of their s13, making s13 the darling of the drifting world.
This can only be said that each period has its own gameplay. It can even be said that Kenji's 180sx is not only more timely than Xie Yu's ae86, but also has more modification potential than Ikegaya's s13.
It's just Kenji's driving skills, forget it, let's not talk about it.
At this time, Murakami also noticed Xie Yu coming, and couldn't help but said to Xie Yu: "Xie Sang, you are here."
Xie Yu nodded. After all, the money Xie Yu spent at this repair shop can definitely buy several ae86s. Compared to Chi Gu, Xie Yu is really a "big customer".
At this time, Chi Gu also saw Xie Yu's presence in the rearview mirror of the car. He couldn't help but poked his head out excitedly and said, "Senior, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Xie Yu was not polite and said directly: "Chigu, how much are you going to spend on modifications this time!"
Chi Gu hesitated and said: "Senior, I have prepared 100,000 yen, which is all my savings."
Xie Yu said with a completely expected expression: "Chigu is not bad. You can buy one-third of an AE86. It is also possible to buy an AE85."
Chi Gu said: "Senior, please don't ridicule me. I don't want to borrow money. This is already all my savings."
Xie Yu nodded and said to Murakami: "Mr. Murakami, tell me your second way to increase the speed of the car!"
Murakami gestured and then said: "Have Chigu and Xie Sang ever heard that nine out of ten mountain road riders are on the road to sheet metal, and one is on the road to sheet metal."
"Although this is a joke, there is some truth to it."
"So the second method is very simple, which is to make Ikegaya's S13 body as lightweight as possible."
"Japanese cars are more competitive than European and American cars because they are light, have thin sheet metal, can pick up speed quickly, and are more fuel-efficient."
"The second method is to further reduce weight, remove the CD player and stereo, take away the spare tire, in short, remove many useless things, some extreme ones even include the back seat and passenger seat."
Ikegaya said doubtfully: "Mr. Murakami, I understand somewhat, but I can understand it if I dismantle the CD player and stereo and take off the spare tire."
"But if the back seat and passenger seat are removed, will it affect the stability of the vehicle?"
Murakami: "You are right, Ikegaya, and it makes sense, but we can maintain the stability and balance of the car body by adjusting the suspension system and shock absorber system."
Xie Yu also nodded. Xie Yu, who had some improved common sense, knew that removing the back seat and passenger seat would definitely affect the stability and balance of the vehicle.
This is some common knowledge and principles of modification. Once a car reaches a speed of 100 per hour, its suspension system and shock absorber system will have far greater effects than others.
The shock absorber system actually refers to the shock absorbers that run through the chassis and four wheels of the vehicle.
The shock absorber mainly consists of two parts: spring and damper. The function of the spring is mainly to support the weight of the vehicle body, while the damper plays the role of reducing vibration.
But if Ikegaya must participate in the race with the Takahashi brothers' Akagi Red Suns team, then the downhill racing speed will definitely exceed 100.
Thinking of this, Xie Yu couldn't help but ask: "Murakami, how are the springs and dampers of the Chitani S13 shock absorber system? Do you want to replace them?"
Murakami was stunned and said directly: "The original spring of this S13 is old and hard, and the damper is still an old-fashioned hydraulic damper."
"This old hydraulic damper has low damping force and long dynamic response time... It should be replaced long ago."
"It's just that Ikegaya's original driving style, coupled with the S13's multi-link rear suspension system, it's not a big problem if it's not replaced."
"However, it won't work this time. After a significant weight reduction, the problem of vehicle body imbalance will definitely occur. If you participate in fierce mountain road competitions, the springs and dampers must be replaced with new ones."
Xie Yu nodded and said to Chi Gu: "Chi Gu, do you understand? Do you want to replace the spring and damper?"
