At night, after finishing his work at the gas station, Iketani drove his S13 and drove the gas station owner to an old friend's place. In fact, it was not far from the gas station. It was a parts factory that was half an hour's drive away.
A middle-aged man, who was about the same age as the owner of the gas station, stood in front of the iron shutter while smoking a cigarette. When he saw the S13 driving over, he waved his hand.
"It's rare for you to call me. Is this the kid you're talking about? He's very young.”The middle-aged man sized up Iketani as he got out of the car.
The boss introduced the two of them. They were old friends who had played with cars together when they were young. Now, they had opened a parts factory. Because they knew a lot of people, they had a lot of connections and could get a lot of good things that ordinary people could not get.
"This car is maintained quite well, but the level of modification is a little poor. The horsepower is estimated to be less than 200 horses, and it has not been greatly improved. It is indeed a little difficult to win the SPD even in downhill races.”The boss of the parts factory squatted down and reached out to touch the wheel. After a while, he said.
Basically, for an experienced person like him, he could roughly estimate the modification of a car.
"Stop talking nonsense. Are the things ready?”The boss urged, not being polite at all.
"I've long prepared it. Come in.”The middle-aged man threw away the cigarette butt, turned around, and pulled up the iron curtain. The three of them walked in together.
Iketani was a car player in his previous life, so he was no stranger to this place. After looking around, he couldn't help but nod. Although this parts factory wasn't big, he had already seen a lot of good goods on the surface. They were all very good parts in this era.
"Iketani, as I said before, I'm supporting you this time. If you have any requests, feel free to ask. As for the money, you can return it slowly in the future.”The gas station owner patted Iketani's shoulder.
Iketani nodded and did not stand on ceremony. The competition was the most important thing at the moment, and it concerned his life and death. He immediately told the other party the parts he needed and his opinion.
"I've already thought about it before…"
There were too many things that Iketani was not satisfied with his S13. Firstly, it was the horsepower. Therefore, his first request was to increase the horsepower by about 30 horsepower. Then, he also needed to change the tires to a more gripping type. The second half of Haruna's curves were very continuous, and the consumption of tires was very large. This detail could not be sloppy at all. The other thing was to modify the original broken shock absorption to ensure the stability of the car at the moment of the curve. There was also the connection between the speed of the car when changing gears…
At first, the parts factory owner didn't care much. He was already thinking about how to modify it. He didn't expect that this young man Iketani would make him look at him in a different light. He seemed to have a deeper understanding of car modification. Some parts were replaced in the same way as he thought.
After familiarizing himself with Iketani's requirements, the parts factory owner lit a cigarette and puffed out a few clouds."Come over at this time tomorrow.”
Since he didn't have a car, Iketani and the gas station owner went to the nearby bus stop to take the bus home. After they got home, they ate something and took a shower before entering the virtual space.
Seeing the snow-white S13 parked beside him, Iketani smiled knowingly. Although the real car was modified outside, it was not affected in the virtual space.
He opened the car door and sat inside. Iketani began the simple and boring racing tour of Mount Haruna. He ran laps after laps. After running more than ten laps, it was equivalent to running more than 200 laps outside. Iketani suddenly felt more familiar with Mount Haruna, especially the key ditch area. He had tried it a few times and had made some progress. After all, his racing talent was very high now. In this super efficient virtual space, all aspects were improving bit by bit.
After running more than ten laps, Iketani was mentally exhausted. There was not much effect if he continued, so he decided to call it a day. After returning to the real world, he saw that it was already very late, so he immediately fell asleep.
He absolutely could not lose the match against Takahashi Keisuke, or else he would lose his life. Iketani did not think that the system would play a joke on him. He was still under some pressure at the moment and needed a good rest.
……
The next morning, Iketani woke up early and went to the place where the S13 was parked. When he couldn't see the car, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he understood and shook his head. He had no choice but to take the bus to work. Fortunately, there was no so-called morning rush hour in this era, and there were fewer passengers on the bus. Iketani was lucky enough to get a seat.
After a while, Iketani encountered something that shocked him.
