原标题:The Ultimate JDM Apartment… In Bangkok

原作者:Rick Muda

Imagine an apartment that has its own private workshop space on the ground floor, plus enough room to store a bunch of iconic Japanese performance cars and one JDM holy grail  。Well, I was recently shown around such a place in Thailand’s capital city, Bangkok.

想象这样一栋公寓:一楼有一件私人工作室,再加上足够的空间收纳标志性的日本性能车和一个“JDM圣杯”。是的,最近在泰国首都曼谷,就有人带我参观了这样的一个地方。

Right after my tour of Infinite Motorsport (AKA Liberty Walk Thailand), Infinite’s Oat said he’d take me to grab some dinner. But before we did, we made a stop at his friend Lan’s place. All Oat told me was that Lan was an “NSX guy,” so I didn’t think of it much and just went with the flow.

在我参观完Infinite Motorsport(又名泰国Liberty Walk)后,Infinite 's Oat说他要请我吃晚饭。但在那之前,我们去了他的朋友Lan家。Oat只告诉我Lan是个“NSX佬”,所以我并没有想太多。

During the drive, Oat explained that Lan’s apartment garage space had been renovated, that not many people knew about it, and to expect something special. I wasn’t expecting this though…

开车途中,Oat解释说,兰Lan公寓的车库刚刚翻修过。尽管鲜为人知,但有不少特别的东西,只是我没想到会这样……

Entering the garage through an Initial D-inspired ‘Fujiwara Tofu Shop’ facade, my jaw just dropped. Right in front of me was a work area with an FD3S Mazda RX-7 on the lift being restored, a little Japanese-themed bar, numerous parts and collectibles, and a bunch of amazing Japanese cars.

通过头文字D风格的“藤原豆腐店”门面进入车库,我的下巴都要惊掉下来了。在我面前是一个工作区,千斤顶上有一辆FD3S马自达RX-7正在修复。除此之外,还有一个小的日本主题酒吧,许多汽车零件和收藏品,以及一堆令人惊叹的日本汽车。

This was a very fleeting stop, so I wasted no time running around the superbly-themed space shooting as much as I could.

时间所限,我没能在这令人眼花缭乱的酒吧停留多久,只是匆匆拍了几张照片。

Of course, there was only one place I could start – Lan’s pristine NA1 Honda NSX-R, one of only 483 examples ever built and exclusively sold on the Japanese domestic market from late 1992.

那么,从这台NSX开始吧。这是Lan收藏的原装本田NA1 NSX-R,该车与1992年底发行仅在日本国内市场销售了483辆样车。

It doesn’t really get any better than a Type R-spec NSX in my book, hence why it was my personal highlight of the visit. But there was more to see…

就这台TYPE-R版本的NSX,我可以整整写一本书在我的书,它也是我此行的亮点。但公寓里的宝贝远不止这些。

The Autozam AZ-1 is one of the coolest kei cars from the ’90s. This JDM-only model was a collaboration between Mazda and Suzuki, and featured a turbocharged 657cc three-cylinder engine in a mid-mount position (yep, rear-wheel drive) and gull-wing doors. Lan’s AZ-1 takes it one step further with bolt-on fender flares and a set of fat RS Watanabe wheels.

Autozam AZ-1是90年代最酷的k-car之一。这款只同样只在日本发售的车型是马自达和铃木的合作产物。中置引擎(没错,是后轮驱动)是657cc三缸涡轮增压发动机,而车门则采用鸥翼式。Lan的AZ-1改装了螺栓挡泥板耀斑和一套大号RS渡边车轮。

Tucked at the back of the space is Lan’s AE86 Toyota Trueno, a car built to celebrate his favorite Japanese racing driver, the one and only Keiichi Tsuchiya.

在房间的后面是Lan的AE86丰田Trueno,这台独一无二的86是Lan为了致敬自己喜爱的日本赛车手——土屋圭市而造。

By creating a replica of his legendary Tec-Art’s-built Trueno, complete with a fully-tuned AE111 4A-GE 20V engine and green carbon fiber hood.

Lan的Trueno是对Yec-Art‘s传奇作品的模仿,:使用了一个完全调整AE111 4A-GE 20V发动机和绿色碳纤维引擎盖。

By now you would have noticed the other NSX in this collection. Unlike Lan’s NA1, this NA2 facelift version is heavily modified, starting with a wide-body conversion. But it’s what is lurking under the engine cover that makes this creation extra special. I was told it’s pushing 1,000hp…

你可能已经注意到,Lan的收藏中不只有一台NSX。与NA1不同,这款NA2经过了大量外观改装。但正是隐藏在引擎罩下的东西让这个作品格外特别。我被告知它的马力达到了1000马力……


I don’t know much more about the build, so I really think I need to take a closer look on my next visit to Bangkok…

这种改装风格用在NSX上,我还真没有见过,所以下次来曼谷时一定要好好研究一番。

The final two cars in the collection are a couple of open tops – a Z32 Nissan 300ZX which other than a set of BBS wheels is pretty much stock, and an FC3S Mazda RX-7 that’s recently been fully restored. You have to love those period-correct Panasport wheels.

展厅中的最后两台车是两辆敞篷车:日产z32——配有BBS的轮圈,而且恰恰合适——以及FC3S型号的马自达RX7。后者经过改装,已经整装待发。你会爱上那对Panasport轮圈的。

The vibe in Lan’s garage is amazing. In some ways it reminded me of Han’s fictional spot in the The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, but this place actually exists. From the collection of alloy wheels, steering wheels and parts, to the scale models and other automobilia, there’s so much in this space that I could have easily stayed for hours. Or perhaps days, or not even left at all! But still, this brief visit was something I’ll never forget.

Lan车库里的气氛太棒了!在某种程度上,它让我想起了韩在《速度与激情:东京漂移》中的虚构车库,但这个地方确实存在!从收集的合金车轮,方向盘和零部件,到比例模型和其他汽车,在这个空间里有太多的东西,我可以很容易地打发掉几个小时,乃至几天,乃至根本不愿离开!这次短暂的访问让我永生难忘。

I’d like to extend my gratitude to Lan for showing me his space and allowing us to share it on Speedhunters.

同时向Lan表达感谢。感谢他允许我们参观他的车库并将见闻发表在Speedhunters上。
