After meeting the goddess-level beauty Kudo Yukiko, Iketani was instantly filled with energy and worked very hard.
Unknowingly, it was time to get off work at night. This time, he took the car of the gas station owner to the parts factory.
The first thing Iketani saw when he got out of the car was the snow-white S13 parked at the entrance. It looked the same as before, but when he reached out and gently touched it, Iketani could feel that the interior of the car was different from a day ago. He felt that the aura emitted by the S13 had become a little more mellow.
"I won't say much more. You can try it yourself. If there are any details that you're not satisfied with, I'll just make some adjustments.”The owner of the parts factory said with a cigarette in his mouth. He reached out and threw the car keys to Iketani.
Iketani opened the car door and sat inside. He reached out and grabbed the steering wheel. Suddenly, a different feeling welled up in his heart. He looked at the dashboard. As expected, it had been replaced. The maximum horsepower had been increased to 220! It was indeed much stronger than before.
The brakes, accelerator, and clutches were also brand new. He lifted his foot and stepped on them. They were all very suitable and not unstable at all.
He inserted the car key and twisted it slightly. The rumbling sound of the engine immediately sounded. It was obviously different from before. It was more powerful and felt great.
Iketani gestured to the two people outside and his hands and feet suddenly moved quickly. He stepped on the clutch, pushed the gear, stepped on the accelerator, and turned the steering wheel. The car spun 180 degrees on the spot and the wheels rubbed. It scraped against the ground with an ear-piercing sound, sweeping up fine sand and dust on the ground as it rushed out.
Before they reached Mount Haruna, Iketani controlled his car's speed to be relatively low. When the wheels had just entered the mountain road, he suddenly increased the speed of the car. The engine roared loudly as he rushed forward.
The easiest way to test a car's horsepower was to run on an uphill road. A day ago, the S13 was still struggling to run on an uphill road. Now, it was much faster and smoother. It did not feel stiff.
Iketani couldn't help but sigh at the importance of horsepower to a car. Although 220 horsepower was still far from the terrifying 350 horsepower of Takahashi Keisuke's FO, it could still save him some time on the straight road and increase his chances of winning.
At the same time, the racing cars that Iketani drove in his previous life were all high-horsepower cars. After he transmigrated, he was not used to driving a low-horsepower S13. A car that could allow his driving skills to be perfectly displayed needed at least 250 horsepower. That speed was considered exciting. Now, he could only endure for a while.
The speeding S13 soon reached the first bend. From the sound, he knew that there was no other car coming down. Iketani smiled and sped into the bend...
Half an hour later, Iketani returned in his S13. After getting out of the car, he gave the parts factory owner a thumbs up and praised,""The modification of the S13 is very good. It's much better than I expected.”
The parts factory owner's skills were very tough, not inferior to the technicians of some professional racing teams he had seen in his previous life. Although the modification was not large, he was able to adjust the S13 to a satisfactory level in a day. This was not easy, and it saved him a lot of time.
"It's no big deal. As long as you're satisfied, I'm willing to let Youyi say that I'm not attentive.”The parts factory owner said as he flicked the cigarette in his hand.
The Youyi he mentioned was the name of the gas station owner.
"What do you think, Iketani? My old friend is pretty good, isn't he? The original low horsepower has been raised to 220, which is barely passable. This way, when you face that SPD in the downhill race, your chances will increase a little.”The gas station owner said with a smile.
After the car was adjusted, it was time to calculate the price. After all, it was not free.
The total cost was 200,000 yen, and this was the price that was discounted on account of his friend. After all, the parts used were of better quality, so it was already considered cheap.
200,000 yen. Iketani really couldn't come up with it at the moment, so he asked the gas station owner to help pay for it. He would just have to pay a little back every month.
Iketani couldn't do anything about it. He really didn't have much money right now. After all, this was Japan in the 90s. This amount of money would be worth several times over in the next 20 years.
To sum up, racing was really a money-burning thing!
The feeling of not having money on hand was really unpleasant, and Iketani was even more eager to earn money.
