原標題：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.

想象這樣一棟公寓：一樓有一件私人工作室，再加上足夠的空間收納標志性的日本性能車和一個“JDM圣杯”。是的，最近在泰國首都曼谷，就有人帶我參觀了這樣的一個地方。

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.

在我參觀完Infinite Motorsport(又名泰國Liberty Walk)后，Infinite 's Oat說他要請我吃晚飯。但在那之前，我們去了他的朋友Lan家。Oat只告訴我Lan是個“NSX佬”，所以我并沒有想太多。

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…

開車途中，Oat解釋說，蘭Lan公寓的車庫剛剛翻修過。盡管鮮為人知，但有不少特別的東西，只是我沒想到會這樣……

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.

通過頭文字D風格的“藤原豆腐店”門面進入車庫，我的下巴都要驚掉下來了。在我面前是一個工作區(qū)，千斤頂上有一輛FD3S馬自達RX-7正在修復。除此之外，還有一個小的日本主題酒吧，許多汽車零件和收藏品，以及一堆令人驚嘆的日本汽車。

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

時間所限，我沒能在這令人眼花繚亂的酒吧停留多久，只是匆匆拍了幾張照片。

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，從這臺NSX開始吧。這是Lan收藏的原裝本田NA1 NSX-R，該車與1992年底發(fā)行僅在日本國內市場銷售了483輛樣車。

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…

就這臺TYPE-R版本的NSX，我可以整整寫一本書在我的書，它也是我此行的亮點。但公寓里的寶貝遠不止這些。

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。這款只同樣只在日本發(fā)售的車型是馬自達和鈴木的合作產物。中置引擎(沒錯，是后輪驅動)是657cc三缸渦輪增壓發(fā)動機，而車門則采用鷗翼式。Lan的AZ-1改裝了螺栓擋泥板耀斑和一套大號RS渡邊車輪。

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.

在房間的后面是Lan的AE86豐田Trueno，這臺獨一無二的86是Lan為了致敬自己喜愛的日本賽車手——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是對Yec-Art‘s傳奇作品的模仿，：使用了一個完全調整AE111 4A-GE 20V發(fā)動機和綠色碳纖維引擎蓋。

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…

你可能已經(jīng)注意到，Lan的收藏中不只有一臺NSX。與NA1不同，這款NA2經(jīng)過了大量外觀改裝。但正是隱藏在引擎罩下的東西讓這個作品格外特別。我被告知它的馬力達到了1000馬力……

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…

這種改裝風格用在NSX上，我還真沒有見過，所以下次來曼谷時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.

展廳中的最后兩臺車是兩輛敞篷車：日產z32——配有BBS的輪圈，而且恰恰合適——以及FC3S型號的馬自達RX7。后者經(jīng)過改裝，已經(jīng)整裝待發(fā)。你會愛上那對Panasport輪圈的。

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車庫里的氣氛太棒了！在某種程度上，它讓我想起了韓在《速度與激情:東京漂移》中的虛構車庫，但這個地方確實存在！從收集的合金車輪，方向盤和零部件，到比例模型和其他汽車，在這個空間里有太多的東西，我可以很容易地打發(fā)掉幾個小時，乃至幾天，乃至根本不愿離開!這次短暫的訪問讓我永生難忘。

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

同時向Lan表達感謝。感謝他允許我們參觀他的車庫并將見聞發(fā)表在Speedhunters上。
