In this episode we fit some parts to a Lada that have absolutely no business being in a car.
Our instagram / garage__54 - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Please keep that car going with more mods. By the end of the year it would be amazing to see every component modded. Nothing stock.
Yes officer, its stock
@@mcnhell *says the guy, driving a Lada with no exaust, slammed to the ground, etc.
The lada body "Am i joke to you?"
True
@@dukex6192 who says you can’t make a carbon fibre one
"what broke?"
"Don't worry, we can fix it."
That look says it all..
You all need an award for best actor of a real-life, um, 'reality' show
To me that looks like genuine fear of the wrath of Vlad.

Pls garage 54 do straith 8 cylinder from 2 engine
This chair was fairly easy to put together, the instructions were clear and I was about to follow along with no issues at all. It took me about 20 minutes to assemble. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx5hPALGI87E991DRmXev8PUFJGrrRcONS I did stuff the back of the chair with a pillow so it wouldn’t be so hollow after taking all the pieces out but that’s just a personal preference. I also added a pillow for lumbar support because although this is a great chair and is comfortable, it’s not necessarily the best if you’re sitting 10+ hrs a day wfh but in all honesty for the price, I didn’t mind at all. It looks great in my space and easily adjusts the height when needed.
Adjustable suspension with office chairs.......Man a tell ya, this is why, pound for pound, Garage 54 is the greatest channel ever ! Just keep on doin what your doin.
Disconnect the rear brakes. Then, get up to speed, mash the brakes, car takes a nosedive, hit the lever - car raises. You'd have to time it right, but it might work.
hahahahaha thats actuallyt a pretty good idea!
wont work
@@FraLin how do u know? have u tried it?
might work
I’m impressed that the experiment worked that well! Who knew that desk chair shocks where gonna work that well?! 👌😂👍 I sure didn’t think so! But it proved me wrong!
So am I, honestly. Garage54 is one of those channels that often "tries hard - fails hard". It's always entertaining to watch, but sometimes you're rooting for them and you want some of these weird creations to actually work)
I wasn't worried at all! Those office chair shocks were probably made for a global market and the back end of that car weighs less than four average Americans, so the shocks were really overrated for the job.
Ingenious really it's like a easy lowride car
The most ghetto lowrider, haha!
I love it
And use a floor jack to raise it back up
This channel kicks ass these OGs are freaking amazing
So did the Garage 54 office department get new chairs, or do they have to stand now behind their desks? 😜
nah, they all work from the car now.

standing desks are the new fashion now, haven't you heard?
They have treadmill desks now. 😛
They should install the cars suspension on the office chairs.
I installed coil springs on my office chair. What a coincidence ! 😁
Could have left 2 in the "pushed in" state, even a bit, and 2 full out- that would have softened the ride a bit
maybe, but i've seen fat people blow them out by dropping their full weight into a chair. if you put too much stress on them it will just blow something out inside and lose pressure forever.
@@iamzid He said they were designed to support 180 KG. That is around 1400 pounds between the 4 of them. Back of a Lada doesn't weigh near that much.
Actually it's working like that, you can see that one is more compressed than the other, because of the height difference
@@iamzid hahahah wait you blow them out if you like half way set them and then some fat guy just sits his ass on it weighing to down 180kg?
@@White_Night_Demon You don't even have to be that heavy. I've seen them break when one of my friends threw himself on one. He doesn't weigh more than 80kg so you don't have to be fat to break them, just fast lol
How about a Lada Airboat? that'll go great on snow, and water. If you make the wheels retractable, you can drive it anywhere.
Garage 54 thanks for all Your videos. Some of the best on TH-cam. Thankyou for the interesting experiments, and all the laughs You have given us here 👍❤️⭐🤣
Make a air suspention that is capable of making the lada hop off the ground like a rabbit maby over a fence?
They low riders were doing that when jesus was a boy, and jesus just retired from the roofing company last year.
@@johngillon6969 Roofing company?
@@jamms992 there are millions of folk named jesus. my friend's name is jesus Salazar. his family is of mexican decent. so who did you think i was talking about, that bowler in The Big Lebowski?
@@johngillon6969 I know a Jesus that owns a roofing company. He did retire at the begining of the year, his son Moses took over the company. The company is called Good Shepard Roofing. Been in business for over 70 years.
@@jamms992 Did you remember when moses was driving that 650 triumph. His Triumph was heard through out the land. I met him once in the frontier restaurant, he wis with my buddy jim.
I always wondered if you could convert shocks into hydraulic cylinders. You should try that sometime.
I dont see why not, replace the compressible air space with some hydraulic oil, it should work as long as the seal can take the pressure.
I mean Hydropneumatic Citroëns have hydraulic cylinders and spheres instead of shock absorbers and springs
@@onelyone6976 yep and you dont want to work on them
@@allanmakkink8404 Truth. There are good reasons why those Citroens have only a cult following, 95% of the fans dont even know how terrible those cars are. Comfort, sure, but not as good as a 70ies Jaguar XJ6. Roadholding, sure, but again not as good as a 70ies Jaguar XJ6.
@@allanmakkink8404 why? It's actually quite a simple system at the end of the day
They work surprisingly well ! 👍
Stuff of legend! Keep the videos coming! Love the things you guys come up with!
This was a massive success.
Garage 54 now you have to make a Emergency jack with those and see if it can lift the car on one side. Even if it mean you need to give it some help to lift it would be amazing XD
I have been using a office chair cylinder to hold my desk for months because i'm was too lazy finish what i started to work on xD
Absolutely brilliant video guys 👍
This was cool.
Hey, Garage 54 Fellas!
How many Radiators In-Line before Water Pump Failure?
Why would the water pump fail in that sort of situation?
I think those old fashion fanbelts will slip if the pump pressure gets too high, or the pump will simply pump but not manage to move the water. No failure will happen, i had exploding coolant systems due to blown headhaskets and even then the waterpump survive.
I have seen old volvo waterpumps with broken blades, doubtful its pressure though, more likely calcium buildups and high age (the rotor is cast, not machined, high deterioration rate).
Here is a mad idea. Square pistons and cylinders. Can you do that?
oooh that would be interesting
@@FauziAveline it will be a big challenge, but you have some genius guys working with you. I'm always impressed with the standard and quality of work they produce.
I would love to visit, but I live to far away.
Those will not work. I bet they tried that in the steam age.
Won't work... The biggest problem is the springs. Honda made an oval piston engine some years ago,but they discontinued the production due to problems related with rings.
Square wheels to go with that please!
Aha~! Now you need some basketballs to pump it back up! Good show!
It worked!! Nice suspension!!
Love your videos guys 😊 always look forward to the next one 👍
this is crazy on a whole new level! and I LOVE it :))
Love the video I love to watch all the videos just stay safe it's good family content me and son don't miss any upload thanks 👍
Hello Garage 54 i all ways enjoy the videos. All you need coffee, cream and sugar the shake will do the mix LOL
Reverse running engine, One forward gear and 5 reverse gears.
This is interesting. I would really like to see the fellas going 100ks backwards in 5th reverse gear.

You are suprising me every single video, respect 👍
Bless that cameraman always running behind you while driving
Why this keep being mentioned? Its not hard to run around like that, in fact it is rather enjoyable if youre in medium good shape. Stop going to the gym, go out and get out of the comfort zone of the stupid threadmill and soon youll know what an average guy is good for.
Lmfao! Office chair struts! I love it!! Thanks for the entertainment
Pulse Jet + Lightweight Lada = good times.
i’ve actually thot of this before . very kool what you have done 👍
Worked better than I thought it would.
This worked better than I expected
you guys always come up with the best ideas
Wanted to use these for a bicycle to make some air ride, figured id search it to see if anybody has done it first
You guys doing it doesnt suprise me 😂
I really love your videos! 👏
These guys are literal God level mechanics.
3:01 in the UK we call them track rod ends :P
For a softer ride you can do the following setup:
You build a U shape for the spring to sit in. Connect these chair cylinders to the sides on the top of the U shape and the other ends to the rear axle. This way it will use the spring, but also can change the ridehight. Like this:

huh?
Me and a friend in our teens modified a pedal car to electric, made the bodywork out of plywood and office chair suspension. Kinda stiff due to the low weight. Fun as all heck though.
1955 Citroen introduces the first hydraulic suspension
2022 Not to be outdone, Garage 54 finds a way to fit hydraulic suspension on a budget for the Lada
Hey, how about you use 4 bicycle pumps and make them into variable air shocks hook them up to an air tank with a valve that way you can pressurize the shocks and it will lift the car up or lower the car if you let air out!!! 😆 Sweet
I love these guys videos
Whole Lada fun !
This gives me ideas for the race car to get it on the trailer easy
You need to make a nitro glow plug engine like rc Hobbie type for the Lada 😊that runs on nitro
This is amazing
I expected them to brake immediately, can't believe it actually worked for a while lol
Make a DIY lowering kit that scrapes the ground like stance nation and hop like hydraulics...and bring it to a car meet!
Vlad trolling his neighbors is top notch content.
Great show
That poor Lada car....kinda feel sorry for it.... having to do all sorts of tricks! 😄
Man I love the voice over
Such an awesome channel
I love the crazy experiments, all true men can't disagree.
FROM Russia w/ LOVE
FJB
I'll buy that hoodie. w./ the garage 54 logo of course.
Hello! Please try to make wooden or plastic brake discs😂 itt will be hella' fun! Greetings from Hungary! Good luck!
Love these videos :D
I actually like this idea! Might try it myself on a Smart Car 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!
I think a zombie proof apocalypse lada would be a fun build
i wanna see you guys build an automatic transmission out of a manual, use a linear actuator or pneumatic cylinder to operate the clutch, and a series of limit switches and actuators or cylinders to shift it into gear. would be an interesting challenge
Some semi trucks have automatic manuals. Exactly like that they are the shittest thing on earth. As you cant rush them its like a really slow old man changing gears alllllll the time...
Maybe try ideas of backyard forced induction. Even a hvac flue fan puts out high cfm and as an example could possibly be traced on a scan tool just to see it's effects not necessarily effectiveness. The cpu will try to correct even small changes but the question is. Will the computer see enough to bring attention to a pending check engine light illumination condition
would like to see you guys make one of these static with taking the springs and bumpstops out. see how low and driveable you can get.
The cylinders should have been installed in series with the supension springs and some sort of jack should be accomodated to be able to extend them after they have been compressed...
Laughing at how that dudes face just drops when he finds out the Lada has an automatic transmission
i'am glad i subscribed to this channel for whatever reason
I had a laugh at 10:30 to the right 😁
OK you think it's stiff now? I suggest removing all suspension replace with solid bars and fill the tires to make them solid. To be thorough, hardwood bushings too. What will break?
Just casually lifts the rear of the car by hand.
Пётр спасибо за возможность таким образом подтягивать свой инглиш)) BMI for EVER!!
Нема за шо
you should try this idea with one of those inflatable jacks that operate off the cars exhaust. using a bypass valve off the exhaust to re lift it and a relief valve to lower it
mount 4 of them either side in the front and add a jack in either corner gang everything together and reevaluate
You should build a car that combines a collection of the best mod into 1 car.
Make them like that 👍
HAHA! That was awesome!
Those things kinda resemble a shock absorber so technically they will absorb bumps just as well as actual shock absorbers
Think about this for a second. What if you put just four of these little guys onto a small open wheel chassis? its stiff and can damper too. I think they will be cheap alternetive from expensive race shock absorber lol.
13:03 That's what she said!
Budget hydraulic suspension. Awesome.
Neighboring garage puts out spiked tire barricades to keep 54 from hitting them on test drives 🤣
That would be cool to install a suspension that makes the car hop on all 4 wheels. Imagine the car jump up and down like a person winning the lottery.
Isn’t that basically what the low riders with hydraulics do?
@@MrCRAZEDKILLER101 I forgot the lowrider name.
I have two dirtbike engines that are the same and I wanted to do a bit of experimenting by seeing if I can put to heads together and extending the crankshaft arm making the piston move a longer distance to reach the valve I don’t have the tools to do that but that would make a great video for you guys
It would probably not be easy but I’d love to see the lada have a convertible top that actually goes up and down 😂
Those chairs must also be sold in the US market. They take the weight way too easily.
I wish I had so many lada’s
LMAO this is amazing.
Diy air suspension without using air
From what I understand office chair cylinders do in fact use air. So this is still air suspension.
@@torpedo996 i thought they worked with a spring
Suggestion use air refill the strut instead of manually picking up the car.
TF2 heavy replaces stock shocks with gas cylinders from a chair
Put a turbo on lada, and do dyno run!
Try dump 2 cylinders when other 2 are full :D
Best channel
So I can feel more confident when I do the business with my girl on the chair... Thank you!
would work better if you used some light rate springs to take the harshness out of it
I was curious how it would have rode with the cylinders at 3/4 to 1/2 instead of max height.
Same
I feel like I missed an episode, I remember an automatic clutch but not an automatic gearbox.
Yup...already know where this is going....coming from a large guy myself.... the only question is how many is it going to take...
5:57 needs to be a gif lmao
Wait... 🤨 Unrelated, but... Why did Lada suspend the gas tank from bungees?! 🤣
