MG Metro 6R4: Metrosexual - Magalimoto Amasewera

Mawindo othamanga a dashboard amawerengera mamailosi 2.467 kapena 3.970 km. Amawoneka wachisanu ndipo amayimitsidwa munthawi yake. Mawilo apita patsogolo pang'ono kuchokera pomwe galimotoyi idachoka mufakitole. Austin Rover kumbuyo mu 1986. Sanasinthe ngakhale nthawi yamba (Zomwe ndizowopsa mokwanira, chifukwa ndi lamba yemwe adanyenga alongo ake ambiri pomwe adaponyedwa mwamphamvu m'nkhalango, momwe simungathe kusiyanitsa owonera ndi mitengo ikuluikulu ya mitengo.) Mu mphindi zochepa, manambalawa ayambanso kuyenda. Chifukwa ndidzakwaniritsa maloto anga: Ndidzayendetsa imodzi Metro 6R4.

Sikuti ndi 6R4 yokha. Izi mwina ndiye 6R4 yoyambirira kwambiri padziko lapansi. Linamangidwa kuchokera ku zitsanzo za pamsewu 200 molingana ndi miyezo ya kubwezerera Gulu Bpamodzi ndi magalimoto ena amtundu wa 20 omwe ali tcheru kuti (yesani) atenge moto wa Lancia, Peugeot ndi Audi pamsewu wafumbi. Ambiri mwa magalimoto 200 amsewuwa adasinthidwa kukhala mtundu wa rally kapena rallycross kuti apikisane nawo mumipikisano yosiyanasiyana yamasewera. Pali mphekesera pakati pa ogwira ntchito ku Austin Rover - koma angakhalenso opanda pake - kuti si mayunitsi onse omwe amamangidwa. Mwachiwonekere, pamene FIA ​​​​inabwera ku chomera cha Austin Rover kudzayang'ana gulu la magalimoto 200, magalimoto akadakhala pamzere m'khola ku Longbridge ndipo, atayang'ana, anasuntha mofulumira mpaka kumapeto kwa mzere. m'malo mwa nameplate.

Malinga ndi chipilala chaching'ono chomwe chinayikidwa pa Metro 6R4 iyi, ndi nambala 179. Ndi ya Malcolm Leggate, yemwe kale anali woyendetsa ndege komanso bambo wa yemwe anali woyendetsa ndege wa BTCC, Fiona Leggate. Ali ndi galimotoyi kuyambira 2000, pamene adagula ndalama zokwana 27.000 euro (pafupifupi 30.000 euro zosakwana zatsopano, ngakhale kuti mtengowo unali wokambirana panthawiyo) ndipo wangoyendetsa makilomita 800 kuyambira pamenepo. Iye anali asanamuyendetse iye kwa miyezi ingapo. Nthawi zambiri ndimaganiza kuti kunyalanyaza galimoto yotereyi ndikunyoza, koma galimotoyi ili ndi makilomita ochepa kumbuyo kwake, ndipo ndi mbiri yakale kwambiri yomwe imakhala yomveka bwino.

Titapita kunyumba kwake m'mawa uno, Malcolm adatiwonetsa zonse zolembedwa pagalimoto pa kapu yotentha ya khofi (adasintha ngakhale mbale yake ya laisensi kuchokera ku A6 RAU, yomwe chifukwa A imawoneka ngati 4, timawerenga pang'ono ngati A 6R4 U. - choyambirira, chomwe mukuchiwona pazithunzizi) musanatitengere kuti tikachiwone, makilomita angapo kutali. Ngakhale zobisika pansi pa phula, amawoneka modabwitsa ndi izialleron nsana womwe umatuluka pansi pa chinsalu ngati seyala umapanga chithunzithunzi.

Kuliwona likutuluka pang'onopang'ono pansi pa pepala kunali kosangalatsa monga kuwululidwa kwa supercar yatsopano pa Auto Show iyi. Icho wowononga chakutsogolo kwa lalanje, kenako kutsogolo kwa oyerawo, mainchesi ndi inchi, mpaka galimoto yonse inali maliseche patsogolo pathu. 6R4 imawoneka yotambalala, yayitali komanso yayitali, ngakhale siyikhala cube. Malinga ndi wojambula Dean Smith, ndizowopsa. Sindikugwirizana nazo. Wotsogolera wathu Sam Riley ndiwothandiza kwambiri ndipo akuti akumukumbutsa za Transformer. Koma tonsefe timagwirizana pa chinthu chimodzi: sitinawonepo galimoto yankhanza kwambiri, yankhanza komanso yokonzedwa kuti ifike pomwepo.

Timachikankhira kunja kwa garaja, kuyesera kuti tisafikire ndi manja athu kuzitsulo zazitsulo, osati kutero fiberglass... Izi ndizolemera modabwitsa pagalimoto yomwe imalemera makilogalamu 1.000, koma zimatengera matayala akulu omwe akukwanira pano. Malcolm achoka kukachita chibwenzi m'mbuyomu ndipo amatisiyira tokha kuti tijambulitse tsatanetsatane, kutilangiza kuti tisayatsegule.

Nditsegula hood ndikudabwitsidwa: palibe magalimoto... Palibe chilichonse pano, kupatula ma shaft angapo ndi lalikulu. kusiyanitsa. Kumbuyo kwa magudumu otsogola otsogola, simutha kuwona chitseko - pafupifupi gawo lokhalo lotsala la Metro - kuseri kwa mpweya wokulirapo. Kusunthira kumbuyo, simungachitire mwina koma kudabwa kuti aileron ndi yotalika bwanji, ndipo pang'onopang'ono pansi imamva ngati pali chowononga chomwe chikusowa pansi pa mbale ya laisensi pomwe gawolo likuwonekera, ngati kuti galimotoyo yatuluka. . ndi siketi yolowetsedwa mu kabudula. Pomaliza mkati mukuwona barbell khola lomwe limafika kumizere yakutsogolo.

Kukoka tailgate kumavumbula 6-lita V3, yomwe ndi injini yofanana ndi Jaguar. XJ220, ichi chokha wolakalaka... Malizitsani ndi Kuthamanga moyang'ana kutsogolo pakati pa makina olumikizidwa ndi mtengo wopita masiyanidwe pakati pa viscous (chopangidwa ndi Ferguson Fabrications, kampani yoyendetsa galimoto yokhayo yamagudumu anayi F1). Injiniyo imachepetsa pang'ono kumanzere, pomwe cholembera mbali yakumanja ya nyumba zamiyala zam'mbuyo, kuti ma shaft awiri akumbuyo akhale ofanana. Ma 6R4 ambiri ali ndi injini yolinganiza, koma izi ndizoyambirira, kuphatikiza ndi fyuluta yamlengalenga.

M'mayeso osiyanasiyana, Austin Rover adagwiritsa ntchito Rover V8, yomwe inali ndi ma cylinders awiri, koma V6 yomaliza yokhala ndi camshaft pamutu uliwonse idapangidwa ndi David Wood (yemwe kale anali Cosworth) ndipo amadziwika kuti ndi injini yoyamba yopangidwira galimoto yosonkhana. Inali injini yokhayo yomwe ikufuna padziko lapansi yama injini olandilidwa mokakamizidwa panthawiyo, koma lingaliro loyambirira linali loti kuyesetsa kupereka zida zowonjezera komanso zabwino komanso kuti injiniyo isavutike ndi mavuto otentha kwambiri. turbo ndiye. Tsoka ilo, mapulojekiti ndi kuwunikaku adapangidwa kale mu 1981, pomwe Britain Leyland Motorsport idalumikizana ndi Patrick Head ku Williams GP Engineering. Pofika chaka cha 1985, 6R4 itayamba kugunda padziko lonse lapansi, mavuto ozizira komanso otsalira a omwe amapikisana nawo pa turbocharged adathetsedwa kwambiri, ndipo mphamvu zomwe adapanga zinali zazikulu kwambiri kuposa momwe kusinthaku kungapangire 6R4. Koma ndi nkhani ina.

Kuyang'ana zonse, palibe amene angachite chidwi ndi makina awa. Zomwe, komabe, sizabwino. Chimodzi mwa nyali zakutsogolo sichimatetezedwa bwino, ndipo ngakhale chili ndi mita inayi ya solder (poyerekeza ndi 120cm mu Metro wamba), ndiyotayirira pang'ono. Monga ngati makina adafulumira kuti amalize ...

Malcolm abwerera m'maola angapo, ndipo Dean akamaliza kujambula zithunzi, ndife okonzeka kutuluka panja. Chodabwitsa, njanji yapansi panthaka imayatsa kuchokera kuwombera koyamba. Koma kenako imazima ndikupitanso. Pakadutsa mphindi imodzi ikukanikiza chopangira ma accelerator, injini imakhazikika mokwanira kuti isayime, ndikukula ndikukwera mwatsatanetsatane. Mphindi zochepa pambuyo pake, kuchita ulesi pomwe injini idatsitsidwa kumawonetsa kuti wafika kutentha ndikuti zonse zikugwira ntchito momwe ziyenera kukhalira mu injini ya V64V (dzinali limatanthauza V6 yokhala ndi ma valve 4 pa silinda).

Malcolm amayendetsa gudumu kuti ajambulitse, ndiyeno ndi nthawi yanga. Mwamwayi, kulibe mvula (Malcolm sanatilole kukwera njanji yapansi panthaka yonyowa), koma kunawomba mphepo yozizira, ikusesa madambo ndikuwopseza kuti ichotsa chitseko m'manja mwanga ndikuponyera pansi ndikamagwa kwezani phazi langa. yendani pazenera lonse ndikulowa 6R4. Mpando ndi wopapatiza komanso wopendekeka chapakati pa galimotoyi ndipo chiwongolero chikopa chotuwa - chomwe chimawoneka ngati chachilendo pagalimoto monga chonchi - ndi chotupa pang'ono, koma ponseponse malo oyendetsa ndi ovomerezeka.

Mpandowo ndi wokwanira, ngakhale utakhala wakale wakale. Mpando chipolopolo chomwe chimakugwirani molimba ngati malupu a boa constrictor. Kabati yamasewera ili ndi zosasinthasintha zazing'ono, monga kamtengo kakang'ono kosunthira ka Metro, kamene kamakulungidwa ndi dongosolo latsopano kuyambira koyamba. Palinso mafyuzi angapo pafupi ndi chowunikira ndudu ndipo ma dial ndi ocheperako, kupatula kuti tachometer ikuwonetsa 10.000 XNUMX.

Kuyang'ana pa galasi lakutsogolo, diso limakopeka ndikutuluka kwa ma bonnet awiri; m'malo, kuyang'ana kalirole, maso ali pa lalikulu mbali mpweya wambiri. Zimamveka ngati mukukhala mgalimoto kuchokera m'bukhu lazoseketsa la manga. Mukasintha kwambiri, sinthani theka lakutembenuka ndi kiyi wamba wa Austin Rover, dinanichowonjezera kamodzi ndipo mwamaliza kutembenuza kiyi kuti muyambe injini kumbuyo kwanu. Apo Zowalamulira imayenda pang'ono ndipo pamafunika mphamvu inayake kuti igwetse. Choyamba yambitsirani leveryo kumanzere ndi kumbuyo, kenako kwezani chopondacho, chomwe chili ndi cholumikizira chodabwitsa kwambiri, ndikutsogolo. Ndimayendetsa 6R4.

Magalimoto monga Mégane R26.R ndi Mini GP ndi okongola kwambiri kuyendetsa pamsewu. Ambiri amadabwa ndi kukwera kwawo kokhazikika, ndipo pankhani ya Renault, kusowa kwa chitonthozo. Koma onse ndi ofewa poyerekeza ndi 6R4 iyi. Kuyerekeza magalimoto awiriwa ndi njira yapansi panthaka kuli ngati kukhala paphwando ndikuuza munthu kuti mudathamanga 2km dzulo (kwenikweni 1,7, koma GPS siigwira ntchito), kungodziwa kuti iye yekhayo adapambananso. mpikisano. Muli phokoso lambiri m’sitima yapansi panthaka moti n’kosatheka kucheza ndi munthu amene akuyenda. MU kumwa pafupifupi 2 km / l (ndendende: 2, osalakwitsa). Ngati mukukwera m'chilimwe, ndiye kuti zonsezi zidzakutengerani mphindi khumi. Kumbali inayi, 6R4 ndi galimoto yomangidwa chifukwa chothamanga, osati kupita kugombe ndi bwenzi lanu. Zimanditengera masekondi makumi atatu kumbuyo kwa gudumu kuti ndiyambe kukondana naye.

Ngakhale magalimoto a turbocharged anali ndi mwayi wochita bwino, Metro idapambana mitima ya anthu ndi phokoso la V6 yake. Yesani kuyang'ana kanema wa nthawi yomwe magalimoto ali kunja kwa chimango: popanda chiwonetsero kuti akupusitseni, mukhoza kuyang'ana pa phokoso ndipo mudzazindikira kuti pamene magalimoto ena akung'ung'udza ndi kulira ndi mluzu, sitima yapansi panthaka imapangitsa msana wanu kunjenjemera. Komabe, pa ma revs otsika, nyimbozo zimazimiririka kukhala phokoso la ma diffs aphokoso komanso injini yofanana kwambiri ndi thirakitala. Monga momwe zimakhalira ndi magalimoto ambiri othamanga, kukweza phokoso kuchokera pongogwira chowongolera ndi njira yabwino kwambiri yozimitsira galimotoyo, chifukwa mukamva V6 ikukwera motere, mwachibadwa mumachotsa phazi lanu pa pedal. Mwamwayi izi zandichitikirapo kale ndipo ndaphunzirapo phunziro langa kuti ndithe kumwa gasi popanda kuzimitsa injini.

Ndikulakalaka ndikadakuwuzani kuchuluka kwa ma injini omwe amasintha kuchokera pa thirakitala kupita pagalimoto yothamanga. Pafupifupi 4.000, ndikuganiza, koma ndimayesetsa kupewa chimodzi mwazitali zaku mseu zomwe sindingathe kuchotsa tachometer. Koma ndingakuuzeni chinthu chimodzi: V64V ikafika pachangu chake, phokoso lake limakhala lodabwitsa kwambiri, ndipo gawo locheperako la Perspex lomwe likundilekanitsa ndi injini limakhala lopanda ntchito. Njira yabwino yosamvera ...

Mu mtunduwo, injiniyo ili ndi 250 hp, koma ndi ma cams opindika komanso utsi wochuluka wokhala ndi valavu yampweya, imakwera pamwamba pa 10.000 400 rpm ndikupanga 305 hp. Makokedwewo, Komano, ndi 6 Nm. Chodabwitsa ndichakuti, ngakhale ili galimoto yosonkhana, ili ndi makokedwe ochepa poyerekeza ndi misewu yolinganizidwa bwino. Pomwe Metro 4RXNUMX ikuyaka ndi liwiro la mphezi ndimagalimoto afupikitsidwe omwe amakufikitsani kumtunda, mukumvetsetsa kuti injiniyo ili ndi zambiri zoti ipereke: pali cholowera chomwe chimadula mukaganiza kuti chitha kukwera kwambiri.

Khwalala laling'ono ili, mofanana ndi ena ambiri m'derali, ndi njira imodzi, koma palibe chomwe chimasokoneza malingalirowo, chifukwa chake kuyenda ndikosavuta. Ngakhale anali ndi makilomita ochepa pansi pa malamba ake komanso kugwiritsa ntchito Metro ya Malcolm kocheperako, eni ake samadandaula kuti timayendetsa bwino, m'malo mwake, amandilimbikitsa kuti ndigwiritse ntchito mwendo uliwonse pamagiya aliwonse. Poyerekeza ndi zovuta kulowetsa kumbuyo, kusintha kuchokera koyambirira kupita kwachiwiri ndi kwachitatu ndibwino kwambiri, kuyenda kwa lever wocheperako ndikufupi ndipo kumachita, wachinayi kumakhala kovuta kuyika m'malo mwake.

Ndikayamba kuthamanga ndikuyamba kusinthana mwachangu, ine mabaki khalani otsimikiza. Nthawi yoyamba kudalira kwathunthu, ndimadwala mtima. Ndiwamphamvu koma ozizira kwambiri, alibe thandizo, ndipo choyimilira chapakati chimafunikira mphamvu zamisala kuti zigwire 90 yotsalira, osadula bwino. Ngakhale ma aileron onse ndi ma wheel wheel arch, Metro 6R4 ikadali galimoto yaying'ono (monga wamkulu wa masewera a Austin Rover a John Davenport adatinso, "Galimoto yaying'ono imakweza pang'ono"). Mukamathamanga kupindika, mumamva njanji yayifupi komanso yaying'ono pansi ndi mawilo anayi omwe amawoneka kuti akuyenda limodzi; Metro imamvera modabwitsa, koma izi zikutanthauzanso kuti ndizosintha posintha.

Kuwonongeka angapo ndi 35/65 mokomera kumbuyo, ndipo pomwe ndimakonda kuchita chilichonse, ngakhale zinthu zopenga kwambiri, ndi wheelbase yayifupi iyi, 6R4 imatuluka pamapindikira, ikupita pang'ono kumchira, ndipo ambiri katundu ali pama gudumu akumbuyo, motero ndibwino kuti musapitirirepo. Kuyendetsa mawilo akutsogolo kumawononga mayankho oyendetsa ndipo galimoto imayamba kubvutika mukasintha, ndikukakamiza kuti muziyang'ana kwambiri kuyendetsa.

Patha pafupifupi zaka makumi atatu kuchokera pomwe prototype yoyamba ya 6R4 idayendetsedwa ndi woyendetsa ndege Tony Pond (yemwe pambuyo pake adayika 1985R6 pamalo achitatu papalatifomu ya RAC 4) pamseu wa Oxfordshire. M'kabuku kotsatsa nkhani ya Metro yatsopano, adamugwira mawu kuti: "Kuyendetsa galimoto ndikosavuta komanso kwachangu kwambiri, ngakhale sikufika pachimake. Naye, simukufunika masewera ampikisano kuti mupambane. " M'malo mwake, Dziwe limadziwa kuyendetsa galimoto. Sindingathe kulingalira za kuyesayesa komwe kungafune kuti 6R4 ipite kumsonkhano wa tarmac. Ngati ndikadali ndi mwayi woyendetsa Metro, ndikufuna ndiyesere m'matope, momwe zowongolera zitha kukhala zopepuka ndipo kusiyanasiyana kungagwire bwino ntchito. Ndimaganiziranso kuti zingakhale zosavuta kwa iye: Nthawi zonse ndimamuganizira chammbali komanso ndimiyala ikuluikulu ikugwa pansi.

Komabe, ndili mwana, ndine wokondwa kuti ndinatha kuyendetsa. Kukhala wokhoza kukhala kumbuyo kwa gudumu lamagalimoto openga ndikuwomba omwe akuthamangira kumapeto. Kuti ndidumphe zakale, mu 1986. Onani manambala a odometer asinthanso.
