您花费了数年的时间建立和完善自己的骄傲和喜悦,将自己的心灵和灵*注入其中,并最终将其带到想要的地方并能够真正享受它。听起来像是一个绝对的梦想,对吗?好吧,这就是我在年推荐Jun的NA1本田NSX时所处的位置。
但是,这个故事并没有延续五年的驾驶乐趣,直到今天才得以实现。因为在年,不可思议的事情发生了–Jun在筑波赛车场撞毁了他的NSX。
MyheartsankwhenIheardthenews.Obviously,myfirstinitialconcernwaswithJun’ssafety,butafterhearingthathecameawayfromtheincidentunscathed,IimmediatelywonderedwhatstatetheHondawasin–themodelhasanaluminumbodyandchassisafterall.LuckilyforJunitwasn’tatotalloss,andhereassuredmethatnotonlywoulditbefixed,butthathe’dusetheopportunitytogoforanevenmoreaggressiveaerodynamicconversion.
听到这个消息,我的心就沉了。显然,我首先关心的是Jun的安全,但是在得知Jun毫发无损地离开事件后,我立即想知道本田的状态–毕竟该模型具有铝制车身和底盘。幸运的是,对于Jun来说,这不是全部损失,他向我保证不仅会解决问题,而且还利用这次机会进行更具进取性的空气动力学改装。
Foryears,everytimeIbumpedintoJunataneventI’daskifhewasmakingprogress.AndinbetweenthesetimesI’dmessagehimonInstagramtogentlyaskhowitwasallgoing.
Andthenonedayhemessagedme:“It’sdone.Whendoyouwanttoshootit?”
多年来,每次碰到Jun时,我都会问他是否正在进步。在这两次之间,我会在Instagram上发消息给他,以温柔地询问一切。
然后有一天他告诉我:“完成了。您什么时候要拍摄?”
WhenJunarrivedatourmeetingspotinFutako-Tamagawaearlyonemorning,Iwasleftspeechless.Hedidhintthathe’dgonewide-body–oratleastwiderthanwhattheNSXwaspreviously–butmuchlikehisapproachtoeveryotherareaofthecar,thingsweretakenastepfurther.
当Jun一大早到达我们在二子-玉川的会议地点时,我无语了。他确实暗示他已经宽体了,或者至少比NSX以前宽了,但是就像他对汽车其他区域的方法一样,事情又往前走了一步。
Theeasyroadwouldhavebeentofitanoff-the-shelfwide-bodykit,butJunmixedandmatched,customizedandexperimenteduntilheachievedthelookpicturedinhishead,andthisistheresult.
最简单的方法是安装现成的宽体套件,但是Jun进行了混合,匹配,定制和实验,直到获得了头部中所示的外观,这就是结果。

外部从法术前保险杠开始,该保险杠从先前安装的MargaHills物品的股状外观移开,并在弹出灯下为前端提供了一组更加明显的鼻孔。为此,Jun嫁接到了他自己在CFRP中建造的下部扰流板/底盘。
对于前挡泥板,Jun再次用原始的MargaHills产品换购了Sorcery等效产品,然后对其进行了修改,以与保留的MargaHills侧裙结合使用。但是,裙边现在采用了碳纤维上板条,与在整个长度范围内延伸的下碳板具有良好的平行感。
保留了更多方肩的MargaHills后挡泥板,但您能说一下Jun对这些轮胎做了什么吗?我会给您一个提示:花了最长的时间和精力来实现正确。
Whileyouponderoverthat,let’stakealookattheengine.
在思考这一点时,让我们看一下引擎。

打开盖子,看到我们十年前分发的贴纸仍然挂在上面很酷。感谢您的持续支持,Jun-san。

事故中Toda3.1LC30A并未受到损坏,Jun对此感觉非常满意。它在力量和反应之间取得了适当的平衡,而又不过分疯狂。他所改变的是排气管,现在是RYFGT钛制杰作(其中很少制造),这使本田V6唱起了我以前从未听过的声音。君还在空气箱的顶部添加了自己的汽车的压铸小品,以营造个人风格。
