Hoʻohana ʻia ʻo Holden HDT Commodore Review: 1980

I ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ʻo Peter Brock i ka hana ʻana i nā kaʻa kūikawā i ka makahiki 1980, ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke noʻonoʻo he 25 mau makahiki ma hope e loaʻa ana kēia hopena i ka ʻoihana kaʻa kūloko. Ua hoʻomaopopo ʻo Brock ua hoʻohana ʻo ia i ka Shelby Mustang ma US a me AMG ma Kelemānia i mau hiʻohiʻona no kāna HDT Special Vehicles, a ʻo ia hoʻi i hoʻohālikelike ʻia no nā kaʻa Kūikawā Holden a me nā kaʻa Ford Performance i ukali a holomua.

ʻO ka paʻi kūikawā mua ʻo ka VC HDT Commodore i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka makahiki 1980 i makemake nui ʻia. ʻO ka mea mua ma ke ʻano, he mea maʻamau ia e piʻi aʻe ana ke kumukūʻai.

kükohu wati

E like me nā hana āna i hoʻohālike ai, ua maʻalahi ka hana a Brock. Lawe ʻo ia i ka waihona VC Commodore a hoʻololi iā ia e hoʻomaikaʻi i kāna hana a me ka paʻa ʻana o ke alanui me ka ʻole o ka hoʻokō ʻana i ka ADR.

Ua koho ʻo ia i ka piko o ka VC Commodore SL/E, ka mea i hua mua i ka hua, ke kumu kūpono no Brock e kūkulu i kahi sedan haʻuki kiʻekiʻe ʻEulopa i ʻoluʻolu, akā mālama maikaʻi ʻia a nānā ʻia.

Ua lako mua ia me ka 308 cubic inch (5.05 lita) V8 engine a Holden, akā ua hoʻolālā ʻo Brock a me kāna hui iā ia a hoʻokomo i nā kiwi nui i hoʻomaikaʻi i ka hana o ka V8 maʻamau. Ua hoʻokomo pū lākou i kahi mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe ea kaumaha i lawe ʻia mai kahi Chevy a hoʻohui i kahi ea e hoʻomaikaʻi i kona hanu. Ua hoʻokomo ʻia me kahi ʻōnaehana ʻelua lua o ka hale hana Holden.

Me nā mods o Brock ma luna o ka moku, ua hoʻopuka ka Holden V8 i 160kW ma 4500rpm a me 450Nm ma 2800rpm, hiki iā ia ke paʻi i 100km/h i 8.4 kekona a holo 400 mau mika mai kahi kū i 16.1 kekona. Hāʻawi ʻo Brock i kahi koho o ka Holden ʻehā-wikiwiki manual a i ʻole ʻekolu-wikiwiki ʻakomi, a he maʻamau ka ʻokoʻa liʻiliʻi-slip.

Ma lalo iho, hana maoli ʻo Brock i kāna kilokilo, hoʻokomo i nā pūnāwai pipi a hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻia a me nā haʻalulu kinoea Bilstein no kahi kūlana haʻahaʻa a hoʻomaikaʻi maikaʻi loa i ka lawelawe ʻana. Ua hoʻopau nā huila 15-inihi Irmscher a me nā huila Uniroyal 60-series i ke kiʻi "hopu a neʻe".

Pono ke kaʻa haʻuki i ka nānā haʻuki, a hāʻawi ʻo Brock iā ia i kahi hiʻohiʻona koʻikoʻi ma ke ʻano o kahi pahu kino fiberglass me nā lapalapa fender, kahi mea hao mua a me kahi ʻēheu hope. He keʻokeʻo, hope a ʻulaʻula nā waihoʻoluʻu, a ua hoʻopau ʻia ka ʻeke me nā kaha heihei ʻulaʻula, ʻeleʻele a keʻokeʻo ma nā ʻaoʻao.

I loko, ua hoʻomaikaʻi ʻo Brock i loko o ka SL/E ma o ka hoʻohui ʻana i kahi huila Momo i kau inoa ʻia, kahi puʻupuʻu maʻamau a me kahi wāwae o ka mea hoʻokele. ʻAʻole ia he kani kūikawā i kēia lā, akā i ka makahiki 1980 ʻaʻohe mea like me ia.

Ua kūkulu ʻo ia i 500 VC HDT Commodores. ʻAʻole paha ʻo ia i manaʻo e mau ana ia, akā ʻo kāna mau HDT kūikawā he manaʻo i mau a hiki i 1987. I kēia lā, kūkulu ʻo HSV iā Holden kūikawā, kūkulu ʻo FPV iā Ford. ʻAʻole paha e ola lākou inā ʻaʻole pono ʻo Brock i ke kālā no kāna hui heihei.

I kahi hale kūʻai

Ke koho ʻana i kahi VC HDT Commodore, he mea nui e hoʻomanaʻo i ka paʻa paʻa ʻana o ke kahua, no laila ua maʻalahi nā ʻāpana mechanical nui e loaʻa no nā mea pani, a maʻalahi hoʻi e hoʻoponopono a lawelawe paha. E nānā i nā ʻāpana Brock kūikawā, ka huila hoʻokele branded, nā huila Irmscher, ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ea hana kiʻekiʻe.

I ka wā i kūkulu ai ʻo Brock i kēia mau VC, ua ʻōkole a mākaukau nā pahu kino. ʻAʻole like me nā pahu kino o kēia lā, i hana ʻia me nā mea paʻa e kū i ka hopena a noho maikaʻi, ʻo nā pahu kino kahiko i hana ʻia me ka fiberglass, ʻaʻole i lawe maikaʻi ʻia, a ʻaʻole kūpono. E nānā i nā ʻāpana o ke kino e like me ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana o ka poʻo huila no nā māwae a puni nā wahi hoʻopili a me ka hoʻololi ʻana ma waena o nā wahi hoʻopili.

Ka wā hāʻule

Mai manaʻo i nā airbags i ka VC Commodore, ʻaʻole lākou i hoʻokomo ʻia. ʻAʻole he koho ʻo ABS, akā loaʻa iā ia nā rim XNUMX-wheel, rack and pinion steering, a me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana e Brock.
