【Speedhunters译起看车】双倍快乐！你敢对一台RWB二次创作吗？

原标题：A Match Of Two Halves: Riko’s RWB Yoshiwara Reborn

原作者：Trevor Ryan

Riko is no stranger to SEMA, or to Speedhunters for that matter.

在SEMA改装车展上，Riko算是个常客了；他的改装故事也多次刊登在我们Speedhunters上。

RWB Yoshiwara was originally started over six years ago, but the project was abandoned by the previous owner. Riko purchased the 993 in an incomplete state during October 2017, and immediately set about finishing the car with Nakai-san.

这台RWB Yoshiwara的改装计划最初在6年前启动，但前车主中途停止了这个项目。Riko在2017年10月购买了这辆尚未完工的993，并立即着手与中井先生一起完成这件作品。

Shipped from the factory with an automatic transmission, Riko swapped out the boring Tiptronic unit with a G50 gearbox, but says the car never really felt complete. Coupling this feeling with a trip to Japan that changed everything, Riko decided to step back from the RWB for a while. He could drive and enjoy it in the meantime, but he didn’t want to tear into it or seriously modify it again until his true vision for the car was complete.

从工厂发货时，这台911配有自动变速器。尽管Riko已经用G50变速箱替换了乏味的原厂Tiptronic单元，但他认为这台车还没能让他体验到最大的乐趣。为了找到一台老保时捷完整的驾驶体验，Rito决定暂时搁下RWB的进程，带着尚且完好的993，进行了一场日本自驾之旅。他说，在自己对这台车有深入的了解之前，还不想让她遭受号称“翼子板杀手”的中井先生的洗礼。

Five years later, it was finally time for some big moves with the 993 chassis. We’ll get into the real ethos behind the build in a complete feature and backroads drive with Riko’s RWB after SEMA, but for now let’s focus on the basics. If you can call them that.

五年之后，Riko终于下定决心对这台993大改。在SEMA之后，我们将就这台911的内在构架以及路试情况进行更深入的报告，但现在让我们专注于一些“基本内容”——如果你愿意这么称呼的话。

Most immediately noticeable is the sleek, curved Lexan window that replaces the tinted Targa glass that the car was delivered with. Being a factory Targa, RWB Yoshiwara has always stood out, but this update alone just makes the body style even more striking.

整台车最引人注目的是圆滑的曲面Lexan后窗，这里原本是原厂的彩色Targo玻璃。作为一款Targa车型, RWB Yoshiwara本来就鹤立鸡群，但这个改件的确让车身风格更引人注目。

Then there’s the color. Riko describes it only as Riko could: “We call it ‘1978 Aged Inca Gold’ to represent how I have matured and become seasoned through this pursuit of automotive passion.”

然后你就会注意到车漆。Riko用机具个人特色的方式来描述它:“我们称它为‘1978年印加陈年金’，以代表我在追求汽车激情的过程中是如何变得成熟和老练的。”

I like how Riko reflects on himself to detail the hue, which is darker and deeper than the shade used on his other cars. The custom color continues through the completely stripped-out cabin which now features a full welded-in roll cage.

我喜欢Riko的描述方式，仿佛这种车漆代表了他自己。另外这种车漆比他在其他汽车上使用的更深（尤其在阴影部分）。定制的金色颜色渗入完全拆空的座舱，移植延伸到全面焊接的防滚架上。

The cockpit also received the first set of limited edition RWB x Bride bucket seats, the sparkling silver backs of which stand out against the bold gold-and-black color scheme. There’s an AiM digital dash unit flanked by factory gauges, a CAE shifter for the G50 transaxle, and many more details for us to dive into during the full feature.

驾驶舱里，你可以看见第一套限量版RWB x Bride联名桶椅，闪闪发光的银色靠背与粗犷的金黑配色形成鲜明对比。中控上有一个AiM数字仪表盘，旁边是原厂的仪表，一个与G50变速箱的搭配CAE移位器，以及一些其他的小摆件（我们会在后续的中详细报道）。

A party piece that cannot be ignored, though, is the revamped 3.6-liter flat six that sits in the freshly-shaved engine bay. The air-cooled powerplant is topped with a Rasant GT3 intake assembly that feeds independent throttle bodies, and machined Rennline valve covers also have been added this time around. Oh, and see that Speedhunters sticker on the front window? That’s still in place after the first feature all those years ago.

然而，真正让人目不转睛的，是位于重新上色并仔细打理的发动机舱内的改装版3.6水平对置六缸引擎。风冷动力装置的顶部是Rasant GT3进气总成。最近的一次改装还添加了独立的节气门机构，和机械加工Rennline阀盖。看到前窗上那个Speedhunters的贴纸了吗?在多年前的第一个特稿发布后，这Riko就一直保留着它。

The engine exhales through Fabspeed headers and a custom-fabricated exhaust, the wrapped tips of which terminate way past the rear fascia. I’m thinking it’s an engine that I’ll need to hear (and feel) wide open to fully appreciate.

排气系统包括Fabspeed机头和一个定制的排气管。排气管被帆布仔细包裹以显得不那么生硬尖锐。Rito认为，一台艺术品级别的引擎，除了外观应该整洁有序，声浪也是重要的考量标准。

Another well-suited feature that ties everything together are the recently released Work Meister M1 3P wheels, which utilize ultra-deep and mirror-polished barrels. They measure 18×11-inch up front and 18×14-inch out back, and are unsurprisingly wrapped in meaty Toyo Proxes R888R rubber.

另一个完美搭配的是最近才刚刚发布的Work Meister M1 3P轮圈，拥有镜面抛光。前胎尺寸是18×11-inch，后胎是18×14-inch，而且不出意外地被肥厚的Toyo Proxes R888R橡胶包裹。

Some other components, like the wing as well as the nose, remain largely unchanged from the first RWB iteration of the car. However, everything is now tied together in a better way than it was before, and overall the 993 is a completely different animal.

其他一些部件，如尾翼和车头，基本上保持不变。它们来自当初RWB改件的迭代。然而，现在，在Riko的精心安排下，一切都以一种比以前更和谐的方式联系在一起。总的来说，993已经是一只完全不同的风冷蛙了。

As with Riko’s previous cars, the majority of work on the build was completed by Marcus Fry Racing, while the color was created by Jose Ayala and the paint itself was laid down by Juan Ayala at 24/7 Auto Body of Redwood City, California.

与Riko的前几辆车一样，这台993大部分的工作是由Marcus Fry Racing完成的，而颜色是由Jose Ayala调配的，油漆本身则由Juan Ayala在加州红木城24/7汽车机构确定。

Through all of the hard work, Yoshiwara isn’t only more mature and refined. It is also more raw, more Rough World.

通过所有的努力，Yoshiwara项目已经更加成熟和精致。但正如RWB的德语含义：它也是一个更加原始、更加粗糙的世界。
