Chapter 501: King Kong Behemoth
"Wow, this car is so beautiful!" In the basement of the grandmaster's villa, Fang Zhengying said with bright eyes as he looked at the mighty and domineering car in front of him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
If it hadn't been for the grandmaster telling her, this car would have been the tough guy rewarded by His Majesty, and Fang Zhengying wouldn't have recognized this car for sure.
Now this vehicle, which has been modified by the Grandmaster for three months, has completely changed, and there is almost no resemblance to the previous tough guy.
Before the modification, the tough guy was a limited edition car specially built for the royal family, so although the tough guy was a kind of hard off-road, it was full of a graceful and luxurious flavor everywhere.
The body is magnificent, the front face is magnificent, the headlights are equally magnificent, and even the four wheels, with this car, all look the same magnificent, and the body paint is also the kind of noble pale gold. Anyway, the tough guy before, no matter from which point of view, is full of an elegant and noble temperament, which makes people feel that this car is very, very unusual at a glance.
And now, this grand and noble car, after being tossed by the grandmaster for three months, can no longer see the original dignity at all, but the atmosphere also exists, and it looks more atmospheric than the original tough guy.
The original noble and elegant pale gold is now completely invisible in this car. This car has been sprayed with black matte paint all over the Grandmaster, originally this car is very tall, and with such spray paint, this car looks like it has immediately transformed into King Kong in the movie!
It really feels like a beast!
At the same time, the front air intakes of this car have now been equipped with a set of extremely thick bumpers by the grandmaster.
This bumper, which is made of one-inch special steel pipe, is different from the bumper on ordinary vehicles, which can only be seen but not used. This kind of grandmaster personally welds the painted bumper, which is enough to ensure that the front face of the vehicle is not injured when the vehicle collides with the car in front at a speed of 110 kilometers per hour, so as to ensure the safety of the car water tank.
Such modifications may have some impact on the safety of the drivers and passengers in the car, but it is not fatal.
After all, most cars, the space behind the bumper is used as a buffer space. Even the entire front face and the entire underside of the hood are used for cushioning. It is to prevent the vehicle from being rear-ended, so that the safety of the driver and passengers in the car can get more buffer space, so as to increase the safety of the driver and passengers.
This modified tough guy has this kind of steel bumper installed in the front, so that the buffer space disappears completely, although it will reduce the safety of the drivers and passengers in the car, but the grandmaster decided to do it after comprehensive consideration.
After all, if there is really a serious rear-end accident, this little buffer space alone will not have much impact on the overall safety at all, and the main effort is to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers.
And with this set of pure rigid bumpers, not only the overall safety of this car has been improved a lot, but also the car has become more powerful.
If the paint paint of the whole car makes this car look more like a King Kong Behemoth from Skull Island, then this thick bumper in front of the front air intake is the two canine teeth of the King Kong Behemoth that bulge outward......
The original tough guy, although it is a pure hard off-road vehicle, but the angle of approach, departure and longitudinal passing angle of the vehicle is not particularly large, after all, this car is not a production car, it is a collection car, so when designing this car, it was not designed for this car too large approach, departure angle and longitudinal passing angle.
But this car grandmaster was going to be used to participate in the Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally. It's the toughest and most dangerous rally in the world, and you don't know what kind of terrain you'll encounter on the road, but it's a joke if you can't get through it because of the lack of angles in the car.
Therefore, when the grandmaster modified this car, he slightly increased the diameter of the wheel hub and appropriately increased the height of the suspension, so that the car of this car was raised by about 30 centimeters.
In this way, the approach, departure and longitudinal passing angles of the car are greatly increased.
As a grandmaster with grandmaster-level modification skills in hand, he certainly knew that cars were not something that could be changed casually.
At the beginning of the design of a car, it has been designed as a whole, the height of the vehicle's ground clearance, the diameter of the hub, the width of the tire, and the height of the suspension, which are all closely related.
For example, rim modification is a very knowledgeable technical job.
There is a misconception that the bigger the rim, the more beautiful it is, but this perception is actually quite wrong. Because the modified rim needs to be supported by a lot of data, such as the diameter of the center hole, the offset of the rim, the diameter of the bolt hole section, etc., do not think that the larger the rim, the better it looks and is more practical.
The size of the rim must be combined with the performance of the whole vehicle to be modified, otherwise if it is not good, it is likely to make you miserable on the road.
There are also modifications like off-road vehicle suspensions, and usually most people also have a lot of misunderstandings.
The first misconception is that many people think that the higher the off-road vehicle suspension, the better, yes, the height of the suspension can indeed expand the approach angle, departure angle and longitudinal passing angle of the off-road vehicle, but with the improvement of the body, the center of gravity of the car is also improving, even if the anti-roll bar is modified, increase the damping of the shock absorber, they bring a certain degree of inhibition to the body, if it exceeds this extreme value, it will produce a certain danger in high-speed cornering, and the probability of sliding and overturning will be greatly increased.
Another misunderstanding is that the suspension will be better if it is harder, many people will think that the harder the suspension absorbs the impact of the ground, the stronger the ability to absorb the impact of the ground, but in fact, the suspension only reduces the possibility of hard collision of the shock absorber, and the ability to absorb the impact of the ground is not high, on the contrary, most of the impact will be loaded on the axle, so that the long-term bumps, a little impact will slowly form a qualitative change, resulting in the deformation of the axle, in addition to the hard suspension will also greatly affect the ride comfort in the car.
There are a lot of problems to consider when it comes to the modification of a single suspension, and sometimes it is even necessary to make great changes to the entire car before a huge change can be made to the suspension.
There are other modifications such as the modification of the intake and outlet system, the modification of tires, and the modification of the chassis, which require the overall design of the whole vehicle before they can be modified.
If the design is not good and cannot be perfectly integrated with the vehicle's powertrain, it is better not to change.
The Grandmaster has a Grandmaster-level modification skill, so this modification is not a complicated thing for him. But even so, it took the Grandmaster almost three months to complete the modification of the car.
Of course, in order to be able to meet the requirements of the rally, the car is said to be a modification, which is actually more laborious than redesigning a car. This is the fundamental reason why this car has completely changed after the modification.
Black matte paint, a huge front bumper that gives a sense of security at first glance, a car that rises almost a meter above the ground, thick wheels and tires, high air intakes and exits, and a cage-like car that looks like a giant beast can be held at a glance......
All these modifications make this car look more powerful and domineering, and the whole car really looks like a King Kong monster that ran out of the South Pacific Skull Island!
