Autumn famous mountain bike god is reborn

At this time, in the AE86 car, of course, the messy things that Takahashi Keisuke imagined did not happen.

Both the pilot and the navigator looked serious to the extreme.

Since Takumi Fujiwara ten years ago, he has already driven the finished 86 modified by his father very proficiently. When he modified it by himself this time, although it was impossible to adopt exactly the same idea, he still helped to avoid many problems. detour.

In addition, he does not have the special aesthetics of "no bucket seats" and "hate exaggerated tail fins" like his father, but is very typical of pragmatism, and the modification will be smoother.

With previous experience, he did not hesitate to adopt bucket seats that could better help fix the body under strong lateral G forces, and switched to the more common four-point seat belts in rally races.

Compared with the three-point seat belts in ordinary vehicles and ordinary drag racers, the four-point and six-point safety belts are undoubtedly more outstanding, almost as if the driver's body is firmly tied to the seat.

Of course, when the new 86 sits up, the comfort it brings plummets, the field of vision is lower than before, and the steering wheel is heavier...

These are costs that cannot be avoided.

"No weird noises from the shock dampers."

After starting the engine, Takumi Fujiwara listened carefully, while carefully trying to exert force on the clutch and accelerator pedal to distinguish the new opening.

"The asbestos-synthetic brake pads," he added, "and the performance of the clutch pads, are also solid."

Even if the speed is stable, it feels that the grip of the tires is not enough when the clutch is lifted, and some force must be applied to the accelerator pedal.

If the opposite is the case, the accelerator must be followed immediately.

Finally, the clutch is released again, so that the tires can shoot out when they slip just right. This is the fastest launch start.

Whenever the speed rises sharply, the engine will make a high-pitched "swoosh" sound, which seems to be a little impatient, and more like singing happily.

Even if it is only distinguished from the sound, it can give people an impression of 'this engine is very powerful'.

Fujiwara Takumi felt the grip of the tires again after less than 2 minutes of groping.

The newly born AE86 roared out, taking advantage of the fact that there were not too many ordinary vehicles on the street at this point, it rushed all the way to Qiu Mingshan.

For every driver, whether they want to test new equipment or verify new running methods, they will definitely choose the most familiar main track.

Fujiwara Takumi is no exception.

Mr. Panda TRUENO was concentrating on the test drive and talking to himself from time to time, as if faithfully reporting the car's condition to the navigator on the co-pilot.

Although Takahashi Ryosuke has remained silent, he has been thinking, frequently taking notes on his laptop.

"Mr. Ryosuke," Fujiwara Takumi felt eager to try after driving to the bridge at the foot of Mount Akina, which was regarded as the starting point of the mountain road.But I still don't forget to remind: "It's about to start. Be careful, Mr. Notebook."

Even though he was trying to check the condition of the car, it was impossible to run at full speed...

But at a speed exceeding 100 per hour, no matter the magnitude of the body bump or the G force from all directions, it is impossible to be small.

Ryosuke Takahashi laughed, "Okay."

Fujiwara Takumi nodded slightly, and the process of shifting back and forth was completed in a blink of an eye, and the AE86 speeded up suddenly.

In the blink of an eye, the speed soared to the 11000rpm range where the highest horsepower can be squeezed out.

On Qiuming Mountain, where there are only sporadic passing cars, no one knows that the black and white 86 ghost, which has become famous recently, has quietly been reborn.

It climbed the slope at unprecedented speed and rushed into the first corner.

What Fujiwara Takumi was driving at this time was undoubtedly a new 86 that was acquired illegally, refitted in a way that did not comply with the regulations, and was marked with question marks symbolizing unknown performance characteristics.

But when he was actually sitting in the passenger seat of Akina 86, Takahashi Ryosuke found that his mood was always stable.

Apart from uncontrollable anticipation and a little excitement, he didn't have the slightest worry about his own safety or doubt about the driver's ability, either intellectually or emotionally.

Of course, there is no doubt about the superb driving skills of Fujiwara and his son.

It can be seen from the condition of the AE86, which is ten years old and has been driven by Fujiwara Takumi for more than five years, but is still intact.

Driving the same car for a long time to practice the dangerous mountain road racing skills, especially one of them was just a junior high school student who knew nothing about cars... No matter who it is, collisions, big or small, are inevitable.

Abrasion damage to bumpers, spoiler skirts, or door panels is too common to merit mentioning.

And if it is serious enough to damage the chassis of the car, even after careful correction in the later stage, it is impossible to achieve the point of leaving no traces.

It might not cause any problems if it is just driven as a delivery truck normally.

But whether it is the crazy running method of Fujiwara and his son who forced the car to reach the performance limit, or the large-scale modification of the rear wheels and suspension system parts...they are all unbearable for a car with a damaged chassis.

Some time ago, Fujiwara Takumi was genuinely annoyed when he accidentally rubbed against the bushes under the inner guardrail while running on the Ubing Mountain Road, causing minor scratches on the bumper.

From this point alone, we can fully see how terrifying the driving skills of Fujiwara and his son are.

Unaware of the emotion in Mr. Ryosuke's heart, Fujiwara Takumi is wholeheartedly feeling this strange yet familiar 'new car'.

On the whole, it gave him the feeling that it was very close to the one that his father disassembled by himself.

But for Takumi Fujiwara, whose operation is extremely delicate and his five senses are also extremely delicate, as long as he pays attention to the details, he will find that there are subtle differences everywhere.

Sure enough, even for suspension parts of the same specification, there will be subtle differences between different manufacturers or years.

When running to C32, Ryosuke Takahashi suddenly asked, "Do you want to change the springs of the rear wheel suspension to softer ones?"

"I think so!"

The feeling of connectedness immediately surprised Fujiwara Takumi.

He has always been seldom talkative, but when he tested his beloved 86, he became more talkative for the first time: "I think the efficiency of the differential can be improved."

"There are also tires." Takahashi Ryosuke smiled: "If you want to pay attention to high grip and speed at the same time, it would be better to replace it with Type D-R semi-slick tires."

"That is indeed the most ideal state." Fujiwara Takumi showed a look of yearning, but quickly woke up: "But that kind of tire is too expensive."

According to his usual running style during practice, no matter how good the tire pattern is, it won't last long, and it is even more impossible to choose hot-melt tires for racing.

"Do you want to install an anti-roll bar in the car to further strengthen the rigidity?" Ryosuke Takahashi couldn't help but recorded Fujiwara Takumi's words, and asked gently: "Or do you think it is enough?"

"It should not be necessary." Fujiwara Takumi hesitated for a moment, but still refused: "The front and rear of the car have a tower-shaped brace, and the rigidity of the original car body is not bad."

Takahashi Ryosuke nodded happily: "Where is the clutch? Do you want to add it to the third floor?"

"can."

Fujiwara Takumi said without thinking.

In the past, my father only strengthened the clutch with a single plate, because he was afraid that his skills would be too poor and the tofu would be damaged...

Takahashi Ryosuke smiled slightly: "In this case, the power output curve can be stronger."

The previous 4A-G engine was only slightly modified by Bunta Fujiwara in the direction of emphasizing torque. The main reason was that "the stupid son's technology is too bad and he will damage the tofu".

Such concerns, of course, will no longer be an obstacle to the current Takumi.

Fujiwara Bunta gave him all 86 so early without hesitation, expressing the indulgent meaning of 'since you know as much as I do, you can do whatever you want'.

Fujiwara Takumi thought for a while: "Yes."

"What about the transmission with close gear ratios? Although the pushrod and some parts have been replaced, is the specific setting based on Akina's downhill, or the general setting for all mountain roads?"

"It's common to all mountain roads." Fujiwara Takumi said without hesitation: "After Mr. Keiichi, I will no longer compete in Akina Mountain."

Akina is his home, like the RedSuns would refuse to play in Akagi because it's too boring to play in Akina...

Whether it was the man ten years ago who held the idea of ​​"only relying on the local people's familiarity with the terrain, he would have no passion for victory", or the current one who has ended the match with Sudo Kyoichi that made him regret for a long time , and he, who has entered the professional stage, doesn't have much interest anymore.

——Of course, if one day he has the confidence to beat up his dad, he must choose Qiu Mingshan, where both of them are best.

After hearing this, Takahashi Ryosuke raised his eyebrows in surprise, and suddenly fell silent.

Obviously, Mr. Liangjie didn't say anything, and before just now, the carriage had kept a tacit silence...

But Fujiwara Takumi felt a little uneasy for no reason, relying on his extremely dull intuition.

"Well," he hesitated for a while, but still followed his inner thoughts and asked directly: "Mr. Ryosuke, did I say something that made you unhappy? I'm sorry."

"Why do you have to apologize, Takumi." Takahashi Ryosuke was obviously amused by his straightforwardness, and after a few chuckles, he said softly, "I'm just a little surprised."

Fujiwara Takumi was taken aback: "Huh?"

"Perhaps, this is the navigator's possessiveness towards the driver." Takahashi Ryosuke smiled slightly, and calmly said the words that made Takumi's expression blank in shock: "There will be such a strong emotion, even I feel Somewhat surprised."

"I can't help but wonder why you value Jingyi so much."

Takahashi Ryosuke sighed softly: "Why is he a very special existence to you?"

"not like this!"

Fujiwara Takumi explained in a panic.

If it weren't for his solid foundation in driving skills, even if his mind was a little confused, he would still be able to drive the violent new 86 perfectly.

It's just that the tone became very overwhelmed, and he murmured: "Only Mr. Ryosuke is the most special..."

After receiving his promise-like words, Takahashi Ryosuke couldn't help smiling slightly: "Is that so?"

"That……"

The dark blue eyes moved away from the long-unchanged screen of the laptop, and slid to the red-faced side of the TRUENO driver.

The voice that entered Fujiwara Takumi's ear was deep and magnetic.

--"it's my honour."

While the two were talking, the ferocious new panda TRUENO had already swept over the bends, and arrived at the top of the mountain smoothly while being stunned by the early-rising passing cars along the way.

On weekend nights, the parking lot, which is more lively due to the gathering of mountain road riders, is still empty at this time.

"There are more and more tourists... After running this downhill, let's go back first?"

Fujiwara Takumi had the idea of ​​"saved" in his heart, and asked Mr. Ryosuke for his opinion in a low voice.

He tried his best to adapt to the heavier steering wheel, but he still couldn't help feeling his arms ache.

This is definitely a rare thing for him who is used to holding the heavy 86 steering wheel.

Of course, the most important reason is that there are more and more ordinary passing cars.

Whether it was for safety reasons or not wanting to cause panic among ordinary vehicles, he decided to stop for the time being.

Let's go back to the repair shop and adjust according to the small places that need to be adjusted in the test drive just now.

"I'm the navigator for the Fujiwara driver."

Takahashi Ryosuke showed a slightly surprised look, as if wondering why he would ask such a question, and then answered in a very natural tone: "Of course, the wishes of the Fujiwara driver take precedence."
