Vlad is just a big kid. His love of all things cars is and how to destroy them, is addicting...

It could be interesting putting a rear axle on the front with the front hubs on and make it 4x4

Awesome project guys! It floats like a desert racer. Can you make a car that leans (tilts) into corners like a motorcycle?

Normal people: You can't design new suspension in your garage. It requires plannings, calculations, tests and lot of time ! Russians: Hold my vodka Good job guys ! Love watching your videos and awesome projects

Less than 9 minutes in and I’ve just seen a diff filled with oil in a way that merits it’s own video. And excellent use of the word bonkers. It truly is. Keep developing this, it’s a really interesting idea.

That lada is 214% more comfortable!

make a crossplane inline 4 lada, since you're so good with cutting and welding crankshafts :)

Improve it! With the snow, put ski's in the front. Maybe that will fix the drag issue. I love how much yer crazy experiments are just so much fun to see going. Had a smile the whole time that car was moving.

you guys rock! here's an idea for you, in a standard shift car add a 2nd standard transmission only backwards, out put shaft becomes the imput shaft, while shifting the regular transmission , leave the 2nd transmission in high gear, then when the regular transmission is in high gear, you downshift the 2nd transmission , it acts as a mutiplier transmission for high speed, just an idea , thank you.

This is unironically one of their all time best builds. Amazing work.

One of your best ideas in a long time. This was great.

The first ladda rally car. It looks like it’s a bit of a dune buggy with that wide wheel stance. I’d love to see this reinforced a bit and try it in the summer?

This has been one of the funniest channels on youtube , and this was no disapointment . LOL

Just like a baja. great ride. Love your projects. great content.

That thing needs 4WD you would be ripping it in the snow with 4WD, instead of struggling... You know what? You're getting perilously close to that Monster Lada I keep urging you guys to build. I know it will be tough, but you guys know you want to!!

Really great prototype. I would like to see it developed further. Sprung ballast mounted to the differential might help deliver traction and damping. It was outlawed from F1 for being too effective. Perfect garage54 technology in my opinion. Paired tractor wheels on the rear and skinny tires on the front.

You could use a heavier engine to help lower the front end, which would straighten up the front wheels. A set of air shocks on the rear will straighten those up and provide more clearance for the McPherson struts which appear to be encroaching on the drive axles. I always enjoy watching the antics and ideas you dream up. Keep it up.

Good afternoon it's 12:51 over here in America anyway you never cease to amaze me you're freaking awesome at all these ideas you come up with keep doing it and keep making these awesome videos please we really really enjoy them thank you again and we hope that everybody's all well

It’s like visiting the 60’s and 70’s. When people just did the impossible , because they could, they tried , and kept trying , you fellas inspire people to think the way we used to, with no limitations , your channel is not just entertainment it’s educations and inspiring …..keep it up

"That was neat" is such an understatement, going by how much fun it sounds like he was having xD

I love it how a grown up man laughs so much lol. Great project!

13:46 onward, the hand marks on the rear windshield look awsome, here's a great idea for some stickers ! Great video, guys! 🦾 Addictive to watch! 👍🏼 Thumbs up from Romania! 🇷🇴👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

The Level of Insanity! .Freezing cold .Rust bucket Lada .Extreme sketchy suspension .Crazy happy garage builders Luv it!!!

Amazing film work! This channel keeps getting better!

I loved this, you guys should definitely continue to improve it and make it a baja lada. I'd love to see what would happen if you waited for the snow to dry up and took it out on a dirt road with some more grip, or put studded tires on it and see what it'll do!

Another great video! And another video in which it proves Vlad is just a huge kid at heart! 😂

I miss these old videos. They were much goofier and I enjoyed that.

Interesting way of filling a diff! Cut, fill & weld 😂👍

Very awesome results. Keep it going! Great build!

Old video, but of of all the G54 vids I think Vlad had the most genuine happiness in this one

These guys have some serious skill. Converting diesels to petrol, cutting and welding cranks to make a 4cyl all cycle on the same stroke... well done guys.

When you run out of Ladas, someone should put the factory at work again, so you can have more Ladas to do your stuff.

13:23 "This is a Lada fun!" Quote of the year!

Awesome build! I'd like to see this offroading in summer weather.

'Bonkers in the best way possible' describes this channel - I love it!

"It's a LADA fun" 😆 should be your slogan 💯

This Lada belongs in a museum you had SO much fun! Suspension on suspension should be the next big thing lol

Hat's off,gentlemen. That is not an easy job,so many variables. Great work and very entertaining!

This was a Lada fun to watch. Now it's time to make it a 4x4. :)

I tend to do this quite often in engineering type games like Scrap Mechanic or Trailmakers, it just works so bloody well! Such a pleasure to see it in reality!

That worked out real nice. Nothing broke and it works. It may need some tweaking but it is all good. My car is real low and this would work out great.

you keep making these experiment.. You can make your own million dollar lada. Air conditioning, sport engine, high economy class, superb suspension, all manner of little features and trinkets! The ultimate car!

Looks like a Lada fun ! I remember years ago, 54 was just another iffy channel for a possible laugh.

Vlad, you must be the best boss ever. You guys work hard and play hard together. Love the crazy contraptions you guys come up with. 107% approval rating!

Awesome! They're always having a "Lada" fun (probably doesn't sound the same in Russian) and are always entertaining, thanks Vlad!

That hand and footprints on rear window are gorgeous!

that looks really cool how the suspension is stepped out like that instead of one long 45 degree slope. dunno how it would go with a sway bar to link the front or with birch bushings. 2 x garage 54 = 107% success! :-)

Fantastic idea and execution. And. My only suggestion for it would be since you're using the front suspension in the back it seems like a rear engine seems like it's the right choice and and then power the front to the back and the back to the front crossed drive shafts full wheel drive mad suspension

Thanks For Being Brave And Crazy Enough To Do The Things We Dream Of But Can`t. Love Ya! Love This Channel!

Guys, this car deserves to have it's own series within the channel. How about making it the most luxurious offroad Lada step by step?

Cadillac revolutionized the suspension systems on cars years ago. Those old caddies felt like you were riding on a cloud of pillows. Smooth rides. To bad Cadillac quit making good vehicles about 25 years ago!

definatly wanna see updates on this one, another idea would be cool to see a twin engine lada use a front wheel drive with one engine and a rear engine to drive the rear axel.

SUGGESTION: Add doors to the openings on the right, throw a trunk lid on the back, and touch up the interior. Boom! Luxury ride!

I knew a guy who had a model '63 Volga. He had fitted in a diesel engine and the transmission form an old Hiace, it was his everyday car until the early 10's when he passed away. He could not handle gasoline pretty much at all, even fumes occasionally gave hin serious skin issues. He was 20-some years younger than my grandfather, whom he aso knew, both were known locally as tinkerers and "inventors".

that being 4x4 would totally unlock the potential! the traction is all that is keeping it from steering strait and accelerating.

WHEN THEY STARTED PLAYING MUSIC, IT REMINDED ME OF AN ERNEST MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to see this car 4×4 or AWD.

Another video where my jaw hits the floor. I love how crazy this channel is. I’m surprised these guys ain’t on tv.

Add some tracks to the back and skis on the front. Love all your crazy experiments!

this channels likes to make crazy stuff and i love it

Upgrade the engine, add some body parts like right doors , hood , trunk , headlight , front off-road bumper with fog lights and add some body parts , change the color (whatever u want) and install some new rims, try to make it 4 wheel drive then ur good to go

As always, a smashing succes!

This is my new favourite channel.

Snow Rail ... like a sand rail, but for snow !

Use 3 leaf springs in the rear suspension, like in a pyramid shape, that will make the car higher and you can load it up for more traction without compromising the ground clearance.

all you need for comfort is lot of suspension travel and good, well tuned, soft dampers

it needs paddle tires in the back, that thing is great! these guys are awesome.

Your mechanics are amazing.

when you want 214% luxury instead of 107%

13:22 This is a LADA fun!

Garage 54. Make a tire setup where you can get a flat and keep going after you flip down the second pair of axles and tires . Something like that. 😆

Hello from Detroit Michigan USA this was sick man let’s see if it can take on some whoops and small jumps like you’d see at a motocross track🤷🏻‍♂️

That suspension looks sick!!

Loved the circus music while driving 😆

His content is amazing he deserves millions of subscribers

You guys should use the spring wheels with this same setup all at the same time, that would be insane

Vlad put a seat or two in trunk love what u guy’s do keep it up and we appreciate it

You should definitely revisit this in the summer using the Volga steering, it looks like it could be a beast!

Car looks like it belongs in the Escape from New York movie. Vlad can be the "Duke of New York".

Just about all 70's model American cars have that riding on a cloud feel, copy the suspension from one of them, lol, that's a cool looking Lada anyway, thanks for sharing guys.

Vlad , this is better than snowmobile , congratulations Ziggy Canada , Spasiba druzia,horosha robota

13:20 "this is a Lada fun" 😂

This needs revisited on some dry land to see how well it does

Vlad pronouncing Macpherson strut several times gave me a good chuckle haha

Omg this is one of your best episodes! 😆

Just what we love, more suspense, shun.

We need to bring junkyard wars back and get Garage 54 on there.

Its pronounced muckfersun!! Im from scotland!!! Love your channel and all you do!!! Thankyou for the vids,keep em coming!!!

The Lada is a tough versatile motor car, wish we have them in central Australia, I think they would handle the rough Outback country very well and be easy to maintain.

You guys are the most exciting car channel ever , let me work for you! Move to Canada !!

Save it for summer or spring when you will have plenty of grip. Can test articulation then as well

It looks like a trophy truck the ones that race in Las Vegas . In the Desert . Good job guys looks like you were having fun. lol

I'm guessing the double suspension car on trailer will work very differently if the resonant frequency of the two suspensions correspond or not. Stacked suspensions that are resonant, a bit like the Tacoma Narrows bridge, I would expect. Maybe not failure, but one hell of a ride. A non same frequency spring mass system would be a bit like those multi pendulum things, with a small pendulum on the bottom of a large one. One interesting note of something similar but the more critically damped version (IIR my terminology correctly): the coupled metronomes on a common springy platform. If you've never seen that case it is quite interesting. They synchronize over large periods of time, compared to the metronome rate. The series coupled multi pendulums, VERY different, the smaller pendulum gets into and out of all manner of low to high rotation rate modes, seemingly at random, probably since small initial conditions make large differences in immediate outcomes. :-) Your setup, however is much different than the car on trailer design, as the spring mass of the trailer make up one system and the spring mass of the car, another where your double suspension essentially operates on the same mass (minus the mass of the lower suspension) on top. A very different coupling model. I suspect yours is not as significantly different as just extending the strut and placing two springs on top of each other would be, especially springs of very different rates, but I could be wrong, as the damping action is separated on your setup, and the suspension is horribly configured, compared to a proper suspension. What a suspension really does, in terms of car traction/handling, is to up the spring/mass frequency response, or bandwidth, over an 'unsuspended' car. Meaning the tire can respond MUCH faster to bumps, potholes, uneven lanes, and the like. No car is truly unsuspended wrt the tires moving somewhat independently to the car, due to vertical tire elasticity and bending in the frame, axles, etc., but if you've ever ridden in a solid no suspension go kart the ride is VERY different, as is grip on very uneven surfaces. In the typical street car a kidney belt is not required. :-/ Take the springy mounts out from the engine mounts, as I did as a kid by adding a mount forward from the top gas tank mount (it was thick) to the seat frame. You could barely see as a result, vision was a total blur. You learn useful things doing stupid crap like that. :-) You guys do the weirdest most interesting experiments, and almost always a good laugh involved somewhere. Fun channel. You do a lot of the stupid crap I never thought of. The biggest laugh here, for me, was "it's not nearly as wobbly as we thought it would be". Then he gets in the trunk, applies some motion, and the car swings side to side like a drunk monkey. I definitely saw that coming. A little lateral AND longitudinal stiffness is a REQUIREMENT. You guys obviously did nothing to address that. Think panhard rods, watts links, four bar links, etc. OOPS. Then says "panhard rod". A highly modified watts link might make more sense, if there was any possible way to do it, fit wise and geometrically, maybe turning the axle mounted rotating part parallel to the ground. Before you ran that frankencar my thought was that it was completely frightening. "Something tells me this will be bonkers in the best way possible" ... yeah... or the worst. "C'mon, where's my grip". When the rear tires are showing way too much positive camber, are towed in at about 10 X the max spec, and the suspension is swinging side to side about a foot. Really, do you have to ask? That was the best line of the whole vid. Good job on keeping the car level, too. It looked more like a boat before plane than a car. Maybe you beat it later, actually with "Drives nice", immediately preceding the quarter spin. I'm quite sure the major car designer/manufacturers will be adopting this any moment now....not. Hilarious, like almost always.

2 sets springs with different rates will give a very smooth ride !

Keep refining this to make it more outrageous

Make it all wheel drive and with some more power! This thing has all the potential to be a beast!

Keep working on this. Adjusting the geometry of the rear suspension systems and some slightly stiffer springs should keep the rear from sagging too much.

THIS GUY DESERVES MORE SUBSCRIBERS

Side-by-side Lada! 😂 4 wheels, 2 lada's welded together, side by side. The ultra wide track Lada 😂🤣😂

fill tires with some heavy antifreeze... or a very heavy rim. for extra grip on snow
