【Speedhunters译起看车】漂移大魔王还是VIP核弹头？或许，两者兼备？
原标题：Drift Demon Or Executive Express? Why Not Both…

To the untrained eye, the JZX100 Toyota Chaser might look like any other
executive 4-door Japanese sedan from the late ’90s. Some might
even throw the label land yacht around. But for those in the know, beauty is more than skin deep.
对一个外行人而言，丰田JZX100 CHASER可能会与90年代后期那些普通的日本四门行政级轿车混为一谈，不少人甚至把它当成所谓的“陆地游艇”。然而，对于内行人来说，可不能只会看皮毛。
While the Chaser I’m about to share with you is more of a comfortable street machine than a stripped-out racer, it’s a perfect example of how versatile the JZX100 Tourer V can be with the right parts and knowhow. For this customer build, Daito-san applied both.
我即将与你分享的这台Chaser 更像是一个舒适的街头机器，而不是一台“只剩一个空壳”的赛车。如何既给一台JZX100 Tourer V搭配上最好的零件，又留给车主驰骋赛道的空间？日本改装公司Daito-san想到了一个两全其美的方案。
In factory form, the Chaser might not be as luxurious as the Mark II or Cresta, of which it shares the same basic X100 series chassis with, but visually it’s definitely a little more sporty. Cruising through the Japanese countryside near E.Prime, however, the car didn’t initially set off a fever of emotions for me.
就原厂而言，尽管Chaser有着绝对更加运动的外观，但基于基础的X100底盘，它并不像同门的MARK 2和Cresta那般豪华。因此，当这辆车在E.Prime附近的日本乡村行驶时，一开始并没有让我一见钟情。
Perhaps it was the golden brown metallic paint, an original colour chosen by the Toyota’s owner, but the car made me think of my grandpa and the boiled travel sweets he kept in the glovebox of his Nissan Bluebird. But then, as the Chaser swept around a broad bend in the road, surrounded by mountains, I began to notice its muscular haunches and millimetre-perfect stance, and the admiration started to grow.
或许是丰田车主最初选择的金棕色金属漆，竟让我想起了我的爷爷：他有一台平庸的日产蓝鸟，手套盒里还稳稳地放着旅行食品。但后来，当Chaser在山道上一个冲过被群山环绕的大拐弯时，我开始注意到它粗犷的肌肉曲线和毫米级的完美姿态，这是我不禁对车主刮目相看。
Across Chaser, Mark II and Cresta forms, the JZX100 was a popular tuning platform in Japan when new, and with that came a raft of aftermarket exterior upgrades. The Julius Type 2 front lip (applied to a modified original bumper), Aero Palace side steps and Vertex rear bumper speak to this, with custom front fenders, modified rears and a blackened grill pulling the look together in a unique way.
作为改装车款，相较于先前提到的Mark 2和Cresta， Chaser JZX100在日本更受欢迎：时至今日，我们仍然能找到针对该车的新款套件，以及随之而来的一系列售后升级。车主选择了JULIUS TYPE2前唇(代替了的原厂保险杠)，AERO PALACE侧裙和Vertex后保险杠。其他改装件包括前挡泥板，后视镜和黑色格栅，使外观多少有些“奇特”。
As for the wheels, they need no introduction being of RAYS Volk Racing TE37 breed. These are Super Lap (SL) versions in Pressed Double Black, measuring 18×9.5-inch +-0 up front and 18×10.5-inch +11 in the rear, all wrapped up in Achilles ATR Sport 215/40R18 and Nitto NT555 235/40R18 rubber.
至于轮圈，使用的是人尽皆知的RAYS VolkRacing TE37，而且是是超级圈(SL)版本：前胎尺寸18×9.5-inch +-0，后胎尺寸18×10.5-inch +11；轮胎则分别为阿基里斯ATR运动胎215/40R18和日通NT555 235/40R18橡胶胎。
The wheel and tyre combo and aforementioned wide fenders make up two-thirds of the fitment puzzle; the final third comes from the 326 Power Chakuriki Bucchigiri coilovers with super-stiff 60kg/mm front and 20kg/mm rear springs, and Cusco Negative Camber Upper Arms.
车轮前和轮胎上拱的宽体部分占据了前脸的2/3——最后的1/3来自悬挂部分：326 Power Chakuriki Bucchigiri coilover超硬的60kg/mm（前）和20kg/mm（后）弹簧，以及Cusco负弧度上臂。
It’s not just about looks though. Just as important as how the Chaser travelled in a straight line on the urban expressways around Hiroshima was its drift-ability, hence the number of other suspension and steering upgrades. These include custom E.Prime shortened knuckles, 20mm roll centre adjusters, 110 series tension rods, ARC front and rear stabiliser bars, Cusco tower bars, TRD bushings and a TOM’S crossmember brace.
这台车绝不只是徒有其表。车主希望与Chaser在广岛附近的城市高速公路上直线冲刺一样令人惊异的是它的漂移能力，因此还有许多其他的悬挂和转向系统的升级。这些包括定制的E.Prime缩短节，20毫米辊中心调节器，110系列张力杆，ARC前后稳定杆，TRD衬套和一个TOM’S的横梁支撑。
Perhaps the Tourer V’s best attribute is what came standard under the hood – Toyota’s 1JZ-GTE in latter VVTi-equipped guise. In this form, the turbocharged 2.5L inline six produced 280PS (276hp) at 6,200rpm and 35.8kg/m (377Nm) at 2,400rpm. Marry that to a 5-speed gearbox, of which many of these cars came factory with, and you have the recipe for a whole lot of fun.
也许旅这台车最好的装备深藏在引擎盖下-丰田1JZ-GTE，配备了vvti的机盖作为“伪装”。这样，涡轮增压的2.5L直列六缸发动机在6200转/分时可以产生280PS(276马力)，在2400转/分时产生35.8kg/m (377Nm)。再加上一部原厂的5速变速箱，你就有了很多乐趣。
It gets even better when you add extra power-making hardware into the mix, and throughout this Chaser’s highly-polished engine bay is plenty of it. Highlights include a Garrett GT2835R turbo (with HKS actuator) on a HPI Ver.1 manifold, a GReddy front-mount intercooler, custom E.Prime intake pipe, Sard Racing fuel pump, Blitz 525cc injectors, a Trust GREX oil cooler and one-off E.Prime exhaust. The whole package gets its firing orders from A’PEXi’s venerable Power FC engine management system.
当你加入额外的动力组件时，它甚至会变得更好——塞满整个高度抛光的发动机舱。亮点包括加勒特GT2835R涡轮增压(与HKS驱动器)的HPI ver1歧管，格雷迪前安装中冷器，自定义E.Prime进气管，Sard赛车燃油泵，Blitz 525cc喷油器，信托GREX机油冷却器和一次性E.Prime排气。整个系统由A 'PEXi公司的Power FC引擎管理系统下达点火指令。
In my haste (I had seven cars to photograph on this day), I overlooked shooting the Chaser’s interior, but as you might imagine, all the boxes are ticked in there too: Bride seats, a Nardi steering wheel on a Works Bell quick-release hub and Defi meters – check, check, check.
在匆忙中(我今天有七辆车要拍摄)，我忽略了Chaser的内部，但你可以想象，所有该有的都在里面:Bride桶椅、安装在Works Bell上的可拆卸纳尔迪方向盘和Defi仪表——等等，等等，等等......
All this hints at the true capabilities of what left the factory as a
very sensible car. Perhaps, somewhat unintentionally though, a star was
born. Add some aftermarket performance tuning goodies into the equation,
and the Tourer V can live two lives, one as fly-under-the-radar salary
man’s commuter, and the other as a tyre-shredding drift machine able to
unleash fury on the weekends.
所有这一切都暗示着，这家工厂生产的这款车是真正的“性能车”，是一款非常“富有情感”的汽车。就这样，在某种程度上，在无意中，一颗新星诞生了。在其中中加入一些后期调整的优点，这台Chaser Tourer V可以有两种生活态度，一种是不受关注的上班族的通勤，另一种是一个轮胎粉碎漂移机，在周末尽情释放愤怒。
