Toyota Crown 1980 Modifikasi Exotic Foto dan Gambar

KOMPAS.com — Exotic car ini dari Yogyakarta. Kota pelajar tersebut, dalam soal modifikasi, baik kuantitas maupun kualitasnya, sedikit di bawah Jakarta. Namun, Kunto Wibisono dengan waktu 3 bulan coba menyerang Ibu Kota melalui arena ABT.

Tatapan mata penonton tertuju ke panggung yang dihuni sedan extreme berkelir biru. Backdrop mobil tadi adalah Kota Gudeg dengan dukungan nuansa metropolis berupa menara-menara serba gemerlap. Uniknya, ada tambahan becak dengan finalisasi custom.

Siapa sangka jika exotic car yang teronggok di panggung itu berasal dari Toyota Crown 1980 yang merupakan sedan mewah dan sedannya para eksekutif ketika itu. Garapan rumah modifikasi Kupu-Kupu Malam ini mempunyai 3 keunggulan, padahal pengerjaannya hanya 3 bulan.

Poin pertama, tingkat kerapian yang begitu tinggi walau proses kesulitannya besar. Itu seperti pemilihan kaca depan All New Jazz. Hal itu tentu butuh penyesuaian yang pelik dari struktur bodi dan tulang.

Kedua, pemindahan mesin ke belakang. Untuk itu, pilihan cepatnya adalah mid-engine karena titik berat mudah dicari dan akan mendapat tingkat kestabilan yang tinggi. Diakui Kunto, pemindahan mesin ke belakang merupakan proses yang sangat sulit, meski akhirnya bisa jalan. Namun, itu masih harus lebih optimal.

Pasalnya, saat di dyno, mesin Crown hanya mempunyai tenaga 190 dk di gigi 2. Hal ini dipicu oleh masalah pada sistem solenoid pada gearbox yang tak mau merespons. Akhirnya, dapur pacu dicomot dari Toyota Supra 2JZ-GTE. Untuk penguatannya, modifikator membuat 8 mounting, terdiri dari 2 di sisi kiri, 2 di sisi kanan, 2 di tengah gearbox, dan 2 di belakang gearbox.

Untuk mendongrak tenaga, ia sempat terpikir memakai twin turbo standarnya. Akhirnya diputuskan bahwa mobil ini menggunakan single turbo Garret GT42R berukuran gambot dan dianggap mampu menghasilkan tenaga sampai 500 dk.

Adapun gearbox merupakan milik Subaru 4EAT lantaran sistem penggerak 4WD sequential triptonic. Kelebihannya, daya transfer untuk depan-belakang 50-50. Untuk mid-engine, posisi roda belakang Crown memakai penggerak roda depan yang digunakan pada transmisi Impreza. Soal penyambung dari mesin ke gearbox, modifikator membuatkan konverter untuk sistem matik.

Terakhir, kerapian. Biasanya, ada saja bagian yang tak sedap dipandang. Namun pada Crown ini, baik dari dekat maupun jauh, banyak yang berkomentar rapi. Seperti velg, celong reverse-nya diisi ornamen custom. Ini membuat mobil ini lebih "berbicara" dalam hal desain. Selain itu, sistem motorize di beberapa bagian diaplikasi dengan tepat sesuai tujuan untuk menghibur.

KOMPAS.com — Tak ada lagi ciri kuat dari Suzuki Raider 2003. Mulai dari depan sampai belakang, motor ini sudah berubah total. Hasilnya malah jadi ekstrem, dengan beberapa ubahan mengandung unsur teknologi. Seperti kondom tangki yang bisa dibuka tutup pakai tombol, yang satu itu merupakan suatu teroboson. Paling tidak, terobosan modifikasi di Pontianak, Kalimantan Barat.

Irfandi dari rumah modifikasi 2XP Pontianak di "Kota Khatulistiwa" membuat langkah berani. Coba perhatikan jok yang menempel di atas rumah knalpot asli dari Ducati 969. Sementara itu, bagian bawahnya—jarak dengan roda—masih kosong. "Memang, bagian itu belum dapat desain pas," ungkap Irfandi.

Ditambah bagian arm (lengan ayun) yang besar dan kokoh, sementara rangka atas dan jok tipis, sisi harmonisasi pun sedikit terganggu. "Pada bagian arm, saya gunakan pro arm dari Honda NSR SP dan dikasih kondom supaya lebih besar," papar Irfandi.

Untuk bagian atas, modifikator menggunakan subframe yang bersifat knock down karena ingin membuat buntut yang panjang. Jika bosan, maka tambahan itu bisa dibongkar-pasang. Untuk menyatukan rangka tambahan, ia menggunakan baut L ukuran 8 mm sebanyak 6 buah. "Selain untuk penguat jok, itu juga menjadi semacam braket untuk knalpot," papar modifikator senior ini.

Sadar ada rongga yang lebar, ia menguranginya dengan menambahkan knalpot Ducati 969. Lain hal bila posisi sokbreker punya minimoto di Australia itu tidak terlalu rebah. Untuk per, ia memakai punya Honda CBR150 karena lebih empuk dibanding aslinya.

Juga menarik, tangki yang dikasih kondom bisa dibuka-tutup dengan menekan tombol. Menurut Irfandi, ia menggunakan power window mobil yang dipasangi shock kecil. Dengan menekan sekali, kondom itu bisa membuka hingga 45 derajat.

Post by: Automotive

The Subaru WRX STI, when equipped with proper tires, is capable of impressive all-weather performance. But when even snow tires are not enough, Subaru offers a solution - a 400-hp WRX STI equipped with a snow tracks system, as showcased at the 2009 Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center , Nov. 3-6.

Starting with a rally-prepared 2009 WRX STI, Subaru Rally Team USA's technical partner, Vermont SportsCar, built the one-off 400-hp TRAX STI envisioned by, and built for, DC Shoes co-founder and SRT USA driver Ken Block. The WRX STI TRAX is ready for the half-pipe, with a Yakima FatCat 4 Snowboard Rack up top, a Yakima Landing Pad rack base and DC Shoes XFB-C Snowboards. Naturally, there is a custom matching sleigh to go with it.

With the exception of the Mattracks rubber track system, the car is rally-prepared and similar in specification Block's #43 SRT USA competition STI. Starting with a stock 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX STI, Vermont SportsCar stripped the car's interior bare, lightened the shell and then fully seam-welded it for added strength, also installing a multipoint roll cage manufactured from T45 steel. Major differences from the stock STI include the addition of lightweight carbon/Kevlar RECARO SPA ProRacer competition seats with the Head and Neck Restraint System (HANS), carbon fiber door panels and an onboard fire suppression system.

Under the hood, the ultimate Subaru snow machine sports a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder, turbocharged and intercooled STI engine tuned with a MOTEC M800 ECU. The engine, which kicks out approximately 400 hp and 400 lb.-ft. of torque, is teamed with a KAPS 5-speed close-ratio dog-engagement gearbox and the Subaru programmable DCCD (Driver Controlled Center Differential) all-wheel drive system. Employing custom machined hubs, the drivetrain - which has been dropped three inches - is mated to Mattracks 105M1-A1 rubber track conversion. The car also features Group N competition rally dampers made by EXE-TC.

And Now for Something Completely Different

The WRX STI TRAX can bring four more friends along for the fun with its one-of-a-kind custom sleigh. Constructed with hand-laid fiberglass using sandwich-core construction, the sleigh runs on custom built steel skis with torsion bar suspension. Yakima FatCat 4 snowboard racks carry Qty 2 DC XFB Snowboards.

Protected beneath the padded roll bars are four heated and embroidered leather RECARO Speed seats with Sabelt 4-point harnesses. For music on the slopes, a marine grade water resistant Alpine digital media receiver is coupled with marine grade Kicker speakers and a 10-inch subwoofer. The rear of the sleigh features a large cooler and a grab-bar for towing snowboarders. Cup holders and LED lighting finish off the interior.

The sleigh also features a carbon fiber dashboard, center tunnel cover and rear-cooler cover. Tucked into a glovebox within the carbon fiber covered dashboard are two Viosport POV.1 camera systems. One camera lens is flush-mounted within the dashboard to film passengers, and the other is mounted high on the roll bar to record action around the sleigh.
