036 Modification Potential (Ask for Recommendation)
Hearing Xie Tiancheng's words, Zhang Yifei didn't stop, and replied directly: "Do you want to join your killer queen team?" Not interested. ”
Zhang Yifei has not run with Xie Tiancheng, but he has run with Ah Le of the Hong Kong Island Queen Team, and he is not afraid of death at his level, and Zhang Yifei has no interest in joining the street team at this level.
Looking at Zhang Yifei's back as he walked away, the corners of Xie Tiancheng's mouth rose again: "Interesting, this guy is getting more and more interesting." ”
In the next period of time, it can be described as calm, Shen Dong, who was clamoring for another competition, did not appear during this time, I don't know if he gave up or for some other reason.
As for the school, as the winter vacation is approaching, it has also entered the final tense sprint stage, and even the back rows of scumbags and old fritters are infected by the learning atmosphere, and there are many fewer things to do.
Finally, when there was still a week before the Chinese New Year, Zhang Yifei survived this period of suffocating tension and ushered in a "shrinking" winter vacation of less than half a month.
When I packed up my things and went home for the holidays, I saw that there was a container truck parked there at the door of the store to unload the goods, and when I saw this scene, my intuition told Zhang Yifei that the Mitsubishi EVO he wanted had arrived.
Sure enough, when Zhang Yifei approached, he saw that the truck cabinet door was open, and a group of people were standing on both sides of the paved slide rail, and Zhang Zhiguo was driving a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IV, slowly driving out of the container along the slide rail.
This is a silver-gray Mitsubishi EVO fourth-generation, which began to be on the market in 1996 and was discontinued in 1998, and was only produced for three short years. However, this generation of Mitsubishi EVO is a major facelift, and the appearance, power, chassis and other aspects have been redesigned, especially the iconic large front fog lights, which have become the classic image of the EVO car series.
Seeing Zhang Yifei coming back, Ah Hu leaned over excitedly and said, "Brother Fei, your Mitsubishi EVO has just arrived, this car is really beautiful!" ”
Men have an innate emotion with the car, and this Ah Hu is no exception, Mitsubishi EVO can be described as the dream car of many Chinese boys in this era, and it is enough to make people feel blood boiling when they can watch a classic EVO model appear in front of their eyes.
Zhang Yifei watched this Mitsubishi EVO slowly drive down, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, you must know that the Mitsubishi EVO series is a real track car, and this is still the strongest generation of Mitsubishi EVO, it is this generation that has broken the championship drought of EVO in rally.
Finnish legend Tommy Makkinen rode the waves in this generation of EVOs, winning two consecutive Drivers' Championships from 1996 to 1997. And this is just the beginning, it is precisely because of the excellent performance of this generation of EVO, Tommy Makinen continued to drive the new generation of Mitsubishi EVO 5, once again won the WRC1998 and 1999 Drivers' Championship, and made the Mitsubishi team the champion team in 98.
Winning the Drivers' Championship for four consecutive years not only made Tommy Makkinen a legend, but also put Mitsubishi EVO on the altar, resulting in a sharp increase in sales of the production version. Once there is a sufficient number of bases, then the modification market will also be hot, so Mitsubishi EVO is good in terms of hard power and modification potential, which is why Zhang Yifei chose it.
However, in addition to performance factors, there is also the late 90s that happened to be the initial stage of China's household vehicles, and many domestic automobile manufacturers began to seek joint ventures, market for technology, and wanted to be self-reliant. It's just that at this time, whether it is German or American, no manufacturer is willing to hand over core technologies such as engines to Chinese automakers.
In the end, only Mitsubishi sold its old engine five years ago, and forced the gearbox to sell it together, but it was with this old engine that many domestic automobile manufacturers completed the original technology accumulation and entered the stage of independent research and development after development. Even if the technical indicators are a little behind, at least the problem is solved, and even more than ten years later, there are still some small manufacturers who use Mitsubishi's old engine to improve the model.
Foreign brands are almost the same in Zhang Yifei's eyes, so the tallest one among the short ones, so it is "mutually beneficial" to choose a manufacturer that is helpful to China's auto industry.
Zhang Zhiguo slowly parked the EVO on the side of the road, then got out of the car and beckoned Zhang Yifei to drive the car into the warehouse, and then turned around to go through the handover procedures with the container truck personnel. In this era, it is not as easy as in later generations to buy an imported performance car, so there are many complicated and cumbersome procedures.
Zhang Yifei took the car keys and sat in this EVO, with a sporty three-spoke steering wheel, a black instrument panel on a white background, and a five-speed manual transmission. To be honest, this set of interiors is not very good, after all, sports cars from the track are not very particular about the interior.
But when Zhang Yifei clicked the throttle lightly, the surging power responded quickly, and the engine also heard a low roar, highlighting the roaring power contained in its low-key interior.
This fourth-generation EVO is equipped with a newly designed 4G63 engine, and the horsepower is also limited to 280P due to Japanese regulations. But you must know that this is a god head called the same as the Bull Demon King 2JZ, Mitsubishi EVO used nine generations, and it was not until the last ten generations of EVO that the 4B11T engine was replaced. From this point, it is enough to see that the potential and reliability of the 4G63 engine, it can be said that many Japanese performance car engines in this era are ahead of their time.
Zhang Yifei did not drive furiously, but slowly parked the car into the warehouse, which was where the Ford Mustang was once placed.
As soon as I parked and got out of the car, I saw Feng Linmu walking in, he stood in front of the EVO, and said in an emotional tone: "Back then, I drove the Mitsubishi EVO generation with Lao Lu, running the Hong Kong-Beijing Rally. Unexpectedly, almost ten years later, the Hong Kong-Beijing Rally has also become history. ”
The history of the Hong Kong-Beijing Rally Zhang Yifei is also familiar, 85 years is the first time, but limited by the domestic level at that time, the China Motorcycle Association (the Automobile Federation has not yet been independent) did not participate, just to undertake logistics and find the race route work, until the nineties, the establishment of the China Automobile Association, the formation of the Chinese team to participate.
Later, because of its influence and excellent organization, the Hong Kong-Beijing Rally was listed as a stop of the Asia-Pacific Rally Championship by the FIA and became an internationally certified event, which can be said to be the source of China's professional rally and the starting point of the fame of Lu Ningping, the domestic car king.
After Feng Linmu said this, he directly opened the front hood of the EVO, revealing the red-headed 4G63 engine inside. This is also a sign of Japanese performance cars, red represents power and speed, whether it is Toyota red head 2JZ, or Honda red head mark, anyway, see the red engine cylinder head, it means that it is a high-performance version.
Unlike the previous Ford Mustang 4.6LV8 multi-cylinder large-displacement engine, the Mitsubishi EVO uses a 2.0L four-cylinder turbocharged engine, and uses a shorter piston and a stronger linkage mechanism, plus the camshaft is adjusted close to the exhaust angle, this car can easily exert maximum horsepower.
"Yifei, you have a good eye, this generation of EVO has strengthened the central cooler, expanded the exhaust system to reduce back pressure, the ground suspension has also been redesigned, and the steering has also added an active bias control system to improve cornering safety, overall this car surpasses previous generations, and there is great potential for modification."
Feng Linmu said very professionally, and his technical level can also be seen from this point, Zhang Yifei replied with a smile: "Uncle Feng, the EVO foundation is here, and the next modification depends on you." ”
