Chapter 15 Burning Money
It wasn't clear on the phone, but Takeuchi Shu and Ikeya agreed on a time and place to meet.
Hang up, it's still a while before the agreed time.
Takeuchi Xiu's choice to ask Iketani for help was also deliberate. Just like the second-hand car business, everything related to vehicles is full of routines. It's the same with repair shops in this era.
Takeuchi Shu didn't want his car to have a problem with a certain link.
You must know that this car is going to drag racing in the future. But if there is a problem with every detail, it may cost you your life!
Therefore, finding an acquaintance, introducing a reliable repair shop, and modifying the vehicle can save a lot of trouble. Iketani is the head snake in Gunma Prefecture, and he has the name of a local team leader, so I think I should know an expert in this area.
And with Takeuchi Xiu's understanding of Iketani, although he feels very unreliable, he will only brag about his glorious deeds. But if there is something wrong, or any trouble, he needs to come forward to solve or help.
This guy, absolutely helpful, is an out-and-out warm-hearted!
Speaking of which, to Takeuchi Shu's feelings, Iketani's personality is very close to Ah Shu. It's all very straightforward and easy to get along with.
......
When he arrived at the agreed place, Takeuchi Shu arrived about half an hour early. He is used to waiting for others and does not want others to wait for him. What's more, it is you who have to ask for others.
Sitting in the car, he felt bored and simply chatted with Keiko for a few messages.
While he was distracted, the engine roar of a car slowly approached from a distance, and then exploded in his ears!
You don't have to look up to know that it's Iketani's S13.
It's definitely him!
The last time I sat in his car, one thing I remember most is that this guy Iketani drove a car, and he really made enough money to turn heads.
Takeuchi Shu smiled wryly, Iketani likes sound, and it's the kind of sound that disturbs the people. And this kind of sound is the 'noise' that the car pulls out at high speed, and the sound he recognizes is very different. In Takeuchi's view, the best sound should be the gradual humming of the moment you step on the accelerator, rather than the noise like a tractor.
Generally, naturally aspirated engines are difficult to reflect such a thing as sound. Most only the sound of a turbocharged engine will give an evenly distributed decibel output.
And in Takeuchi's view, the sound of the city is tantamount to a bunch of cans tied to the back of the car. It's a hooligan for someone else's ear!
Iketani's S13 was parked next to Takeuchi Shu's EG6, he rolled down the window, and looked at the car in surprise: "It turns out that your car is an EG6." ”
Sure enough, compared to Ah Shu's blind love for cars. Iketani's liking is more professional, after all, he is a driver who plays with cars all year round.
"How's the car?" Takeuchi Shu smiled slightly, wanting to hear Iketani's evaluation.
Every man treats his car as if he were a daughter-in-law. No one wants the woman they marry to be ugly in the eyes of others. It's the same with Takeuchi Shu.
Ikeya hesitated, but still said, "The car is a good car, why did you choose a purple one?" ”
Hearing Iketani's words, Takeuchi Shu replied, "Just a good car, and the color is personally preferred." ”
"That's right, I've seen people drive yellow cars, like poop. Your eggplant purple is very recognizable, and when you meet on the street in the future, you can honk the horn to say hello. Iketani expressed his opinion and spoke eloquently.
Hearing Ikeya's words, Takeuchi Shu was really impressed.
"By the way, you can follow me in a moment. I'll take you to the repair shop I know. Their boss is my good brother. My S13, a lot of the modded places, was made there. "Iketani is back to business.
Takeuchi Shu nodded: "Okay, I'll follow you." Uh, right...... Drive slower! ”
The last half of the sentence was specially added by him.
Because he seems to be able to imagine if Iketani led the way and drove ahead. If you were to run around the streets and change lanes back and forth like that night, wouldn't you have to repeat the same thing?
It's not that it can't be rooted.
I just feel embarrassed!
Iketani nodded understandingly, and said with a smile: "It's really hard for you, it's not a simple thing to keep up with my Iketani's S13." But don't worry, how could I deliberately get rid of you. ”
"That's fine." Takeuchi didn't defend himself.
After speaking, Iketani drove away the S13 first, followed by Takeuchi Shu's EG6.
Along the way, Iketani didn't act as a demon, and he drove steadily, allowing Takeuchi Xiu to follow the car, and he followed very smoothly.
Occasionally, when there is a traffic light, Iketani also chooses to wait for him to follow.
......
The repair shop that Ikeya was talking about was in a very remote suburb, not the main city. The good thing about this is that this repair shop occupies a large area and really fits the definition of 'factory', not a so-called shop.
After getting out of the car, Ikeya walked into the repair shop and seemed to go to find his acquaintance.
Takeuchi observed everything here and found that there were several car repair masters who were replacing the wheels for a car.
"Ah Xiu, this is my good brother, Murakami who opened this repair factory!" At this time, Iketani brought over a man in uniform, who looked to be in his thirties, slightly older, and looked a little rich.
Wu Neixiu smiled and snorted: "Hello, my name is Wu Neixiu, call me Ah Xiu." ”
"It's all Iketani's friends, so you don't have to be so polite." Murakami shook his head freely, then turned his gaze to the purple EG6 behind him.
"This car is very beautiful!"
Murakami was stunned, looking at the original paint, which didn't look like an EG6 with a color change film, and said with a smile.
Takeuchi Shu smiled bitterly, it seems that Keiko's favorite color is really the focus wherever she goes.
"It's beautiful and it's special." Takeuchi Shu, the owner of the car, naturally does not agree with Iketani's statement, thinking that the purple of this car is the same as the eggplant.
Murakami nodded, he was used to seeing all kinds of cars, so he didn't waste time on this topic, but asked directly: "Ah Xiu, how do you want to change?" ”
Takeuchi Xiu didn't think about it, he already had specific ideas before he came.
So he said: "Wheels, the current wheels need to be lightweight, from 14 inches, to 16 inches forged. Adjust the flat ratio of the tires...... Then the suspension of the body needs to be adjusted, and the suspension springs need to be replaced with ......."
When Takeuchi Xiu was like a treasure, his mouth kept stopping, like firing a bullet, and he spit out a bunch of professional terms.
Iketani was completely dumbfounded, and at first he was able to keep up, and nodded his head again and again, expressing his approval of Takeuchi Xiu's modification. But the more he heard the back, the more confused he became, what exactly did Takeuchi Xiu say?
What is the purpose of changing here?
And also...... Changing so many places is tantamount to dismembering the car and reassembling it again. That's a lot of money!
Although I thought that Takeuchi Shu would be very professional.
But to this extent, the professionalism has far exceeded Iketani's imagination!
Murakami, who opened this repair factory, was also stunned, his face was full of surprise, and when he finished listening to Takeuchi Xiu's description, no, it should be an explanation. He asked with some confusion: "Ah Xiu, you were a professional racing driver before?" ”
Over the years, he has seen many customers.
Most of them are young people who are interested in playing with modding. And the more professional ones, like Iketani, have the need for mountain trails and races.
But like the young man introduced by Iketani in front of him, he is so meticulous and depicts the modification project and the car he wants.
Or the first one!
"No, you're overestimating me." Takeuchi shook his head, his opinion on modification was still at the level of an amateur. But his knowledge of modification covers the next twenty years. So where there needs to be a real change, where it's just for the sake of appearance, he's very clear.
Murakami lit a cigarette, and then he ignored Iketani because he knew that he didn't smoke, and handed it to Takeuchi Shu instead.
Takeuchi Shu was determined to quit smoking, so he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I'm quitting this thing!" ”
The village chief nodded, and smoked a cigarette to himself. Smelling the smell of smoke, Takeuchi Shu was also a little itchy.
"The car can be modified according to your requirements, Ah Xiu, but the price is ......"
"How much?" Takeuchi Shu asked directly, he saw Murakami's embarrassment.
Murakami smiled wryly: "It's about half the price of the car." ”
"So expensive!" Iketani looked exaggerated and looked at Murakami with wide eyes: "Damn, Ah Xiu is my friend, don't hack him!" He was very excited, and he introduced Takeuchi Shu to come here for modification.
If it's more expensive than the outside, wouldn't I lose face, how will I behave in front of him in the future.
Takeuchi's reaction was very flat, he had already thought of this.
Playing with a car is tantamount to burning money!
It's like a woman who is willing to spend money to embellish herself with cosmetics.
But without these modifications, the EG6 can only be an ordinary scooter, and it cannot complete the transformation of a mountain sports car.
Murakami gave him a blank look and said angrily: "What black! There are too many changes, and the materials requested by Axiu need to be strung together from various peers in Gunma Prefecture. ”
Takeuchi Shu thanked Iketani and interrupted the argument between the two and said to Murakami, "When will the modification work be completed?" ”
"Hurry up, today!" Murakami thought for a moment and replied.
Takeuchi Shu nodded and said with a smile: "Change it!" As I said, change it! His gaze swept over Iketani and Murakami and he made this decision.
And the consequence of this decision is the long string of numbers in his bank card.
It should be empty!
But take a deep breath, this is the life you choose.
A familiar feeling.
That is the sense of crisis of poverty.
The unreliability of the driver's profession is well known to Shu Takeuchi.
But come to the initial D.
If you don't make the most satisfying attempt, how can it be the best arrangement of God.
