In may 2010, in Irkutsk at the Central stadium «Trud» took part in the 5th regional BajkalMotorShou - 2010. We present one of the cars that took part in the BMS-2010.
The coming spring, Evgeny Mehlic intends to submit the draft in final form, modified through the cabin, the trunk, and the main thing - colored. It is expected that the body will gain a ruby color with mother of pearl. Part of the decor elements Shine chrome.
How is the correct name for the machine? The story of her birth and the incarnation is ambiguous, so the name is not so simple. On BMS 2009 in the initial stage of the project «designated» as Toyota Crown HotRod «Victory» RS 3000 - too long and not obvious where is the «keyword». But here затесалось superfluous word, and even two - Hot-Rod and the «Victory», who were only a temporary option.
Now that the machine has gained almost complete, Evgeny decided on the more precise and capacious name is custom car Toyota Crown Efijy. Chassis, really Toyota Crown Efijy, 143 series, the 3.0-liter row six, too, Toyota, but the design of the body, though you can project the image of a «Victory», but not this car inspired Eugene. In General, initially it was not intended to put on the chassis Crown existing body 401-th of «Moskvich», with all due alterations. But then Eugene saw the pictures of the concept of the Holden Efijy, and all at once decided differently - the car very much. And that fruit privilege?
Holden - known and largest autocompany, but in Australia. Founded concern GM immediately after the Second World war. Made clear, the same American model, only with the right wheel and under other names. Later Holden began to cooperate with other companies, including Toyota, and the release of its popular models. In General, Holden would «cook yourself on the domestic market of Australia, without meddling. If in 2005 showed the world neoclassical Efijy - conceptual compartment his retro-style appeal to the spiritualised the period of formation of the company. Passion in the world of cars 40's and 50's with their very loose, with a vigorous «in the cut».
Evgeny immediately realized he should become a stylistic prototype of his endeavors, though the volume of work was intended to just not the same as if fitted on the Crown body 401. Yes and follow the concept was not going to be: for example, in facing wanted to reflect the features of another interesting model - Mustang. And it should be not just beautiful, but still strong, rapid and comfortable car, and convenient for everyday use! The last task, by the way, became a decisive factor in a dilemma, what type of body to give preference to. From the coupe, the decision was abandoned in favor of a sedan: with four doors, a separate trunk, but the proportions must be a sports car. The result was not that other, as trendy now in the premium segment type sedan-coupe. Only in contrast to the Mercedes CLS, Crown Efijy (let's call it so) is far more aggressive looks, in which the «muscular» image does not constrain any family severity. So, it really is a true Custom-car - individual performance on motives, in addition, as is customary in the world «custom», with organic plastic body. Or, more precisely: «skeleton» is the body of the Crown, «stripped» to force elements and cut at the top, but the appearance is completely made of fiberglass parts of the original production. Sort of a steel frame that can be integrated in a plastic body. Moreover, plastic thickness reaches up to 8 mm for robustness and preserve rigidity. Instead of cut salon racks, under покатую, low and narrow roof welded power bars - the carcass of security and additional rigidity of the construction. But from the bottom to protect low thresholds were welded beams. The salon is also sold as the integration of comfort and sport. Rear sofa from the Crown, and the front luxury buckets from the Supra - in addition to the specific charm of these chairs provide lower landing, and that requires the flat beauty. In the basis of the front of the cabin - panel Crown, but with modified «shield» and a modified plastic, where the entire left side takes a garland of seven additional devices. Doors kept power Windows, power between the seats, there was a large box armrest in the final stage of the beauty should «dress up» in the skin, and the temporary music will change more serious system, including provided 1,5-kilowatt subwoofer. But cleaning the windshield made a special way, with one top janitor - due to the characteristics of the body and for reasons of originality.
The hood is fixed locks, leans forward and underneath that is intended to make the Crown Efijy not walking limousine. Now won't go into details, the engine is already in operation, and briefly about him say the words of Evgeniya: three liters plus the gentleman's set of turbines, intercooler, oil cooler, tuning the processor, the fuel pressure regulator, oil trap and so on, and expected further adjustments and improvements.
Box is mounted mechanical - R154 (goes to the same Supra), reducer Torsen, cardan taken from the diesel Chaser (he powerful as normal), and coupling will be organic - at a larger reserves of strength in this provides a fairly soft work that is necessary during routine visits. Suspension design fundamentally remained my own, though not without changes: spring sports RSR, shock absorbers - one-pipe KYB Gas-A-Just, but even with such a «tightening» of the chassis, branded the comfort of the progress of the Crown in this body is still present. And then another suspension облагородится polyurethane compounds.
Estimated Eugene, 70-80% of the work performed alone, although it is clear that without the help of such projects is not enough. But interestingly, in parallel launched another job, and it deals with construction already this hotrod using the body from above the Moskvich-401. And it also promises to become an event in Irkutsk tuning.
To be continued ...
