Tavarish Gave Me a Hilariously Modified Yugo

Congratulations! Also I'm sorry.

What a nugget!

"40 mousepower..." I was, at that exact moment, drinking a Pepsi. A Yugo managed to nearly kill me due to choking from thousands of kilometers away. That is dedication to being a deathtrap.

"Ma'am, your husband died in the Yugo." "It must have been a bad crash then?" "No Ma'am, it appears he died of hilarity."

"the shifter was so vague and meaningless it might as well have been fine art" Haha made me laugh

When a car makes you giggle uncontrollably while driving it, you know it's good.

I think you made a lot of ex yugoslavians very happy bc this is the kind of stuff people here did to yugos and then raced them..

It's nice to see at least someone having a laugh in Yugo. Most of us born up to late 80's in Yugoslavia, learned to drive in Yugos. We mostly cried in it :D But, having driven one hot rodded for racing in national class, it is a blast if I may say so :D

A friend gives you a Yugo, but a true friend gives you a Yugo with a lot more horsepower and unfinished front suspension. Apparently. :)

@5:49: "The steering is horrifying!" @5:51: "I like it!" Aging Wheels in a nutshell :-D <3

“The shifter was so vague and meaningless it might as well have been fine art” might be the best quote I’ve heard today

That laughter says it all.

Cop : do you know how fast you were going sir Aging Wheels : no, no I did not

How to tell if car is good: laughing like an idiot on laughing gas

Me, living in Europe where every economy car after 1980 came in depressing gray seats and dull black plastic interior "This brown interior is so neat and clear!" Aging Wheels "I wanna put gray seats and paint the plastic black" Oh.

The strongest Yugo that came out of the Zastava factory is the 230HP YUGO GVX-R. This Yugo was built in 1988 in Kragujevac by Zastava Yugo Motorsport. The engine was worked by the chief engineer at Zastava, Goran Pavlović, on the order of Konstantin Selaković and Jimmie Jumonville. The two compete in the SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) championship in the USA and are invincible in their class. It is interesting to note that several times they were even in the fight for the first place in the general classification where their competitors were Vipers, Porsches, Mazdas and other road eaters. This Yugo can compare in every aspect with Abarth automobiles, this car has been featured in foreign and domestic television shows and magazines. Now a little about the technical characteristics, which are very interesting. Vehicle type: front engine, front wheel drive, 3 door hatchback. Engine: 230hp @ 11000rpm, 4 cylinders in line, aluminum head, 1503ccm, 14.5:1 compression, two 45mm DCOE Webers, teck 2 ignition, belt driven single overhead cam, two valves per cylinder (intake valve diameter 40mm, exhaust valve diameter 34mm ), “Carrillo” rods, modified piston top. The engine is prepared by Zastava Yugo Motorsport chief engineer Goran Pavlovic. Performance: pulls 1.3 g's, max. speed 233.5kmh (145mph) with 3.07 ring/pinion, 0-60mph 4.3sec, 1/4 miles 12.8sec with 4.07 ring/pinion. Transmission: 5 speed gearbox, close ratio, limited slip (Alquati), quick steering rack (40% less travel). Front brakes: "Brembo" self-ventilating drilled discs. Rear brakes: "Brembo" drilled discs. Wheels: 7inch Panasport. Suspension: McPherson, coil springs, "Koni" shock absorbers, anti-roll bar. … And the interior is arranged according to FIA rules, so anatomical seats, safety belts, fire extinguishers, roll bar... This Yugo was mentioned 3 times in the SCCA "Sports Car" magazine, once in the "Auto" magazine and once in the newspaper "Vesti".

When you hotrod that Trabant, we need a sequel to the drag race video.

That Yugo wasn't completely useless, it was the reason I found your channel.

Hello, in Argentina they sell many pieces to modify that engine, apart from that engine can be stroke at 1,900 cc. In terms of front and rear I see it very similar to the fiat 147 for which many modifications are also sold here. good luck with the project. sorry for my bad english.

The most famous Yugo on YouTube. Its amazing how much can go wrong with a car in only 2 years haha. I still remember Austin ranting about not planning to ever sell this car and how it was special and everything, but I guess a bent valve was enough to end that dream. I do feel pity for him, but this car was in horrible shape anyway and it was by no means a worthy restoration candidate. At least now it got a second chance at life, and it will live on as (probably) the fastest Yugo in the states. I'm so excited to see where this project goes!
