037 Street Fighter~!)

Playing with a car without changing it is a waste of time. This is a famous saying in the circle of later generations.

Of course, as a professional driver in his previous life, Zhang Yifei had already separated from the entertainment-oriented car play. His changes were more due to competition requirements.

"Yifei, what are you going to change?"

Feng Linmu looked at Zhang Yifei with interest, wanting to hear his thoughts on changing cars. The things he experienced during this period basically did not regard Zhang Yifei as a high school child, but instead placed it in a position of equality for adults.

"This car has enough horsepower for 280p, so it doesn't work in terms of power, so start with suspension and braking. Use the Dutch Koni's FSD shock absorber valve, then replace it with 18-inch wheels, and use the six-piston brake calipers of Brembo (alphabet)."

At present, Zhang Yifei has not run on the professional track, and 280p horsepower is enough to cope with the current street track, so there is no need to make major changes in power for the time being. He focused on the control modifications of suspension and brakes. Because the Mitsubishi Evo's active bias control system can better help cornering. As long as the suspension and brakes can keep up, the cornering limit can be greatly improved.

This is why a car born for rally ended up being the title of "Street Fighter". It is because this car is very suitable for running on the streets. Even the street crazy racing scenes in Jackie Chan's classic movie "Who Am I" use this Mitsubishi Evo fourth generation.

"You have a good idea and are very familiar with modification accessories. You guys often study modifications."

Feng Linmu praised Zhang Yifei did not blindly think about the big horsepower, but started from the needs, which has surpassed many young people of the same age.

"It's a must, otherwise I'll buy so many issues of the car magazine in vain."

Zhang Yifei also replied with a smile. In fact, he knew these modified accessories, which had nothing to do with racing magazines, but some brands he used in his previous life to modify cars.

Modification has always been a small market, especially unpopular car modifications are really hard to find. So Zhang Yifei has chosen some international brands, not because their products are the best and most suitable, but because they have high production and many dealers, they can be easily bought from Hong Kong Island. Otherwise, in the current mainland modification environment, if each modification piece needs to be shipped from abroad, I guess this car will not be able to be modified next year.

"Okay, I'll modify it as you ask. At that time, let Ah Hu accompany you during the test drive. Ah Hu has been with me and your father for three years, and it's time to see the world. In the future, we old people will always have to retire, and we will rely on you young people to work hard."

With Zhang Yifei, a junior, emerging and planning to take the career path, he will inevitably have his own professional team in the future. Feng Linmu and others are all from the previous generation. Ah Hu and Zhang Yifei are young people of the same generation, and they have always regarded Zhang Yifei as their elder brother. If they want to train successors, Ah Hu will naturally have the right choice.

"No problem, I'm pretty optimistic about Ah Hu."

Zhang Yifei agreed to it all the time. In fact, he really liked Ah Hu, a honest boy. Any equipment maintenance personnel required a solid and serious character, so that they could avoid omissions to the greatest extent. Ah Hu met this condition very well.

Vehicle modification is a long process, not something that can be done by changing a few parts as you imagine. Take the movie "Initial D" for example. In the film, Ryosuke Takahashi, played by Edison Chen, said to Takuhi, played by Jay Chou,: "Your AE86 has been adjusted, chassis, shock absorption, tires and other aspects, and your dad is really amazing. It only took one month. If I change it, it might take 6 months."

In other words, even if a retired professional driver wants to make a balance between a car and it will take at least one month. It may take half a year for amateur drivers like Ryosuke Takahashi to take it slowly.

Of course, Zhang Yifei's car did not change the engine power part, so it takes much less time. In addition, Feng Linmu is a real professional maintenance team and has experience in modifying the Mitsubishi evo. For him, half a month is enough for him. In fact, compared to changing the car, the more troublesome part problem is the problem. At present, it is too difficult for other places in the mainland to find ready-made modified accessories except Yanjing and Donghai.

Zhang Zhiguo completed the delivery procedures and came to the warehouse, but at this time Zhang Yifei had already left and went upstairs. Feng Linmu conveyed Zhang Yifei's modification opinions, and Zhang Zhiguo also agreed with Zhang Yifei's modification ideas. This is a relatively stable modification idea under the current conditions.

The fourth generation of Mitsubishi evo is not an unpopular performance car worldwide. It sold more than 20,000 units in three years, making it a very successful generation of evo series commercialization. This is why Zhang Zhiguo was able to handle the purchase of cars in just over half a month because there is also a considerable amount of spot stock in Hong Kong.

The car was imported from Hong Kong Island, so of course I had to buy accessories in Hong Kong Island. So Zhang Zhiguo called Lu Ningping again and told him about Zhang Yifei's current modification plan, asking him to help find modified accessories in Hong Kong Island.

In the next few days, the evo modification was still not started, and he was still waiting for accessories. However, Zhang Yifei has also driven a few times in the past. Compared with the previous Ford Mustang, the Mitsubishi evo has a lighter body and a better driving and handling feeling. After all, Zhang Yifei has been used to driving a rally car with a short wheelbase lightweight car in his previous life. In this era, Japanese performance cars are more suitable for him than American ones.

That morning, Zhang Yifei was lying in bed and enjoying the rare holiday. While he was having a beautiful dream, Zhang Zhiguo walked into the room and woke him up.

"Old man, you don't have to go to class today. Why do you want to wake me up so early?"

Zhang Yifei asked in a daze, turned around and planned to continue sleeping.

However, the quilt on his body was lifted up directly, and Zhang Zhiguo handed over the clothes and said, "Get up quickly, I have bought the ticket to Hong Kong Island for you, and prepare to leave."

"What?"

When Zhang Yifei heard this, he immediately lost all sleepiness. The old man bought all his tickets to Hong Kong Island. What are he doing?

"You Uncle Lu has found the modified accessories and asked you to come over and take them."

"Just sending express delivery, do you need to transport such a heavy thing to me?"

Zhang Yifei was really speechless. The four wheel hubs, shock absorber valves, and calipers were 70% or so. It was enough to weigh it, but the problem was not easy to get. What did the old man think? He had to bring it to Hong Kong Island by himself.

"Who asked you to get these? The wheel hubs are all shipped to logistics, so that you can get engine components such as high-flow air filters, pressure relief valves and three-way catalysts. These modifications are very fragile, and it is easy to be damaged by logistics and customs. Lao Lu and I both feel relieved to bring them here in person."

"Ah! Isn't this the part needed to modify the engine? I don't plan to modify it now."
