Volume 1 Chapter 138: Pre-Game Trivia
Xing Yu never participated in the competition before the Chinese New Year, all of them were represented by Feng Yongpeng and Fei Long, and Pei Jiahao, who had already gained a firm foothold in the stunt team, was also pulled back by Xing Yu to work overtime.
Because of the lack of technical personnel, the tight construction period and heavy tasks, Shihui's DMAX modification was a joint cooperation between Manni and Xing Yu's two repair and modification factories.
Originally, Shi Hui also wanted to transfer some people from Weizi and Shi Ningxia, but unfortunately they also have their own characters, so they can only provide some remote technical support.
For the modification of DMAX, everyone has no experience, the data of this car is blank, the roll cage structure, size, all can only rely on previous experience, and the standards of the China Automobile Federation to implement.
It is emphasized here that in addition to the unique experience group next year, there are requirements for roll cages, and there are also seats and explosion-proof fuel tanks that are also strict......
In the past, the vehicles modified by Manni and Xing Yu could more or less find a lot of materials from the Internet, but this time DMAX is too new, and I can only find some incomplete information from abroad, which is not very meaningful for the desert race.
In Southeast Asia, the rainforest race is played, while in Australia, the car is mainly used for civilian modification for traversal purposes......
Designing a race car from scratch is a daunting task for everyone.
Coupled with Xing Yu's sponsorship suggestion, the modification of the vehicle must still meet the requirements of the manufacturer's products, and the most headache is that the shock absorption sponsor manufacturer found in this competition only has heavy-duty shock absorption and no nitrogen shock absorption.
You know, in the long-distance bumpy road surface of the vehicle ordinary shock absorption is easy because of the use too frequently, resulting in high temperature, and lose the shock absorption effect, now the race to choose nitrogen shock absorption is the general trend, more powerful teams to choose nitrogen shock absorption is not enough, will also choose more expensive nitrogen shock absorption with radiator.
There was no choice but to settle for the second best thing and chose the outdated double shock absorption scheme.
Next, it is a non-stop test, modification, and strengthening. The previous brake hose is easy to expand at high temperature after frequent use, which affects the stop, add a transmission oil radiator to the manual transmission car, and then use the previous MB100 brake hose experience to wear a metal coat to the brake hose to prevent it from losing its effect due to expansion.
The turbocharged intake and exhaust pipes could not withstand the use of intense and frequent driving, and after trying a variety of materials to no avail, Shi Yinchuan sent a new silicone material to roughly solve the problem......
The explosion-proof fuel tanks that can be bought are too small, and they are specially made by Weizi in his busy schedule......
The chassis guard plate of the whole vehicle was visited one by one by one by Mani in Baoji Yu Town, and only then did he find a manufacturer who was willing to design and manufacture......
Looking at a civilian version of the model step by step, little by little modified into a vehicle that can participate in the competition, all the accessories, either custom-made, or their own processing, Wei Xiong after coming to play a few times, pulled Xing Yu and Manni, said that he was interested in investing in all kinds of research and development expenses, and wanted to specialize in DMAX modification after this competition.
Wei Xiong's proposal was also quickly supported by Manni and Xing Yu, everyone was looking for innovation, finding differences, and finding new business opportunities.
With the idea of continuing to develop and sell in the future, when you open some molds alone, you will be happy to spend money, and the places that you used to want to make a living in the process of modification are now beginning to pursue excellence.
Even if you don't make money from this in the future, it's good to leave some data.
By the end of the new year, DMAX had already taken on the appearance of a racing car.
The original white body was sprayed into a competition paint by the manufacturer. The front seats are replaced with a set of genuine spacro, the seat belt is OMP five-point type, and the experience of many competition injuries has made Shihui very willing to spend money on this project, and the seats, seat belts, and roll cages are all to protect themselves, and a little saving in this regard is irresponsible for life.
As for the rear seats, and various upholstery, they have been completely removed, which can add extra weight, and for the race, comfort is not so important, power is the only option. The vacated space can be put some common accessories and tools, but also put two professional air pumps, originally Shi Hui also wanted to get a set of professional inflatable abandonment equipment from Weizi, because of the construction period and technical problems, but had to give up.
With a large spare fuel tank in the trunk and four spare wheels in place, some of the long circuits in the Ring Tower can be longer than a previous race lap, and plenty of fuel will allow the driver to drive with more confidence.
Vehicle lighting upgrades are also essential, no one knows what will happen during the race, if you get lost in the desert during the race, drive until night, the lighting is not enough, on the undulating roads of the desert, driving at night, the danger factor will increase exponentially.
There are only a few test sites around Qincheng, Xing Yu and Shi Hui are going to vomit at these venues, and now give Xing Yu a car, and he can drive out with his eyes closed.
Every ups and downs, where every stone is, Xing Yu is almost familiar with it, the basic performance of the vehicle, Shi Hui knows it even better, how much speed, how big the slope of the vehicle will fly.
What kind of curve, what kind of curve the vehicle needs to slow down, what kind of curve vehicle only needs to pull down the handbrake, or give the foot throttle to drift through......
Xing Yu also began to realize that the error tolerance rate of off-road rally is not so high, although these small mistakes will not cause any serious consequences, but it will still delay a lot of time, the driver on the track, without considering the performance of the vehicle, the competition is still their own control of the vehicle, the understanding of the track, than who makes fewer mistakes......
Wei Xiao watched her husband go out early and return late every day, and when he got home, he would hold the computer there to watch various videos or do data analysis...... Completely ignoring himself, he finally couldn't stand it one day and exploded: "You shouldn't marry me, you should marry a racing car...... Don't hug me when you sleep, go to bed with your racing car!"
Xing Yu almost said the classic: "Racers don't need women." ”
I don't know when "drivers don't need women" has become the motto of many people, even if they are not drivers, but just have cars and hands...... But every 214, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, 314, 520, and Tanabata...... This sentence is encouraging many people and making them strong.
This quote still comes from the best racing animation, "Initial D", which takes place after Takumi defeated Xiao Baikui. At the gas station, Aki happily discusses with Takumi, Iketani, and Kenji how to spend Christmas Eve, and finally they decide to sing after eating and drinking. In KTV, Ah Shu sang this classic line affectionately, and in the later plot, Ah Shu often put this sentence on his lips and called himself a lonely driver.
In fact, there are too many love-hate feelings and hatreds in this, Takumi can drive the AE86 to be invincible, but he can't catch up with Natsuki sitting in the Mercedes.
In addition to Takumi, his friend Ah Shu is also emotionally bumpy, in the encounter between Ah Shu and Akiyama Kazumi, Ah Shu did everything that a man should do, took the initiative to walk into Akiyama Kazumi's life, took her out of the life she didn't want to face, took her to eat and drink, and drove her through the road she had imagined in her dreams.
In this relationship, no one is wrong with either Ah Shu or Kazumi Akiyama, they just met each other at the wrong time, and Ah Shu also said the words that made many men cry, "I'm just a good person......
Ryosuke, who is Tokai's lifelong rival and best friend, is also a failure in terms of feelings.
Ryosuke's girlfriend was his senior's girlfriend before, but he broke up with the past because he met Ryosuke, but he was forced to commit suicide by the other party with various power methods.
After the death of the woman, the two rivals chose to compete, and at the last moment, Ryosuke saved the rival who was out of control in his heart.
Say a line that brings many people to tears: "Can you feel the smell of her favorite perfume ever?"
For Wei Xiao's incomprehension, Xing Yu didn't have a good way to deal with it, so he could only alleviate her unwillingness by buying, buying, buying.
Perhaps, boys who play with cars really don't understand romance. In fact, there are fairy couples on the field, and the more famous ones in China are Taige and his wife. Peter Hansel also won a rally in the UAE with his wife.
It's a pity that Xing Yu has communicated with Wei Xiao many times, and she is reluctant to participate in the competition, she prefers the bustling and lively city to the deserted wilderness.
The little couple had a quarrel for the first time over the racing car, Xing Yu felt very aggrieved, he didn't gamble, and he didn't touch drugs, what's wrong with playing racing?
Wei Xiao is even more aggrieved, her husband is a car dealer boss, and now he makes himself dusty and full of engine oil every day, how can he look like a successful person.
The matter at home has not been resolved, and there are some problems in the company.
Xing Yu, who has been busy changing the car, has not been to buy the vehicle by himself for a long time, and a newly recruited appraiser has received problems in the car one after another.
If there is an accident, the property rights are not clear. There are even cases of enriching one's own pockets.
For a time, Xing Yu was one head and two big.
Why is it so difficult to do something by himself? The depressed Xing Yu quickly brought his emotions to the test run of the car.
Once, because a small repairman did not use a torque wrench to remove the oil screws, Xing Yu stepped forward and kicked the person.
If it weren't for Shi Hui and Manni pulling, Xing Yu almost broke someone's arm with a wrench.
After Manni and several people worked together to get Xing Yu drunk, they learned the general reason.
Family, career, hobbies. Xing Yu didn't want to give up the three, but you can't have both, there must always be a trade-off.
Shi Hui, who understood Xing Yu's difficulties, pointed out a clear path at the moment, usually accompany his family more when he doesn't go to the game, and take him on a trip and shopping when he has time.
If you can't fully participate in the company's affairs, you must have a proper system, and you can't say everything by yourself, and listen to the opinions of others.
There was a fire in the backyard, and no matter how good the competition was, I couldn't be happy......
Xing Yu has encountered a lot of problems before, and he is used to the style of a large company, and he can delay it, and after a long time, it will fade.
But this matter can't stand the delay, the day of the competition is coming soon, and it is unrealistic to give up the game and let Shi Hui find a new leader.
Zhu Xiaoman first came forward to manage the company's business, and then the second-hand car business gradually decreased, and the new car business was strengthened.
In terms of family, Xing Yu could only report a few international tour groups to Wei Xiao, let her go out to have a fun and see the world, and promised that when this competition was over, he would accompany him to go abroad to play a few laps, so he could barely coax Wei Xiao.
In fact, the driver has no point, what about the trivial things of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea? It can only be said that everyone's solution is different, and the results are different......
