If it was the other way, it would be even more awesome tho Still, unique race car turbos on a sub-$500 car is the funniest thing xD

I have always loved these guys. I auto-crossed with them at a Porsche event just before converting my old RX-7 into a Lemons car. Watching that Metro dominate $50k German sports cars was the greatest. Their creativity is amazing.

The top of the engine cover was made from a sign for a defunked suburban expansion with a dude who looked a lot like Paul Newman, and then we put a fake Paul Newman signature on it too to cap it off. The fender flares are made from an industrial refrigerator pulled out of the junk, and the lip on them are from a cut-up 50-gal drummer schaffers oil.

"Here's $500 THOUSAND dollars. Can you make me a replica Evo4 MetSHO?" "No."

Nailed it 💯

The fact that you clearly know something about cars but still can't spell CAMARO is haunting me...

I'd be open for developing that one day LMAO

It's lemons if you bribe someone it will count. And since it's unreliable it's pretty much legal

I think that car is an exception

Excellent suggestion

Probably helps that it weighs considerably less.

They were made for a plebian Taurus. The answer to your question is...racing. The ARP ones never break. The car also goes through a startling amount of wheel bearings. Like at least one per race. Each one has to be modded for racing duty and said ARP studs.

Brake heating issues?

There's a healthy scene racing them in hillclimbs in Eastern Europe. Some much better Fiat parts bolt right in, and some of those Yugos are properly quick. Great idea!

Yugos not made from compressed rust are actually worth money, so that presents a problem. Also, I bet all the parts you cast off the chassis are worthless, so you won't be able to recoup the budget. Someone should still do it though because I doubt they would care.

@@CrabSpirits it's probably rusted up. Sitting in a junk yard for who knows how long next to an Opel GT in Wisconsin.

@@TechGameEras Naw. I would've found it already.

@@CrabSpirits Naw as in it's not rusted, or as in you would have found the Opal or Yugo? Because I just checked in and it was a 73 Opal in Orange or red and an 83 Yugo in red.

It's a good theoretical question and would probably be applicable if a whole bunch of stock-suspension 1990s SUVs ran in Lemons. As it is, passenger cars have "stiff enough" suspension and low-enough centers of gravity that a "compliant" suspension really hasn't been a major safety concern. Considering it's also the easiest way to spend lots of money to make a car faster, it's easier to make it part of the budget to keep people from showing up with $12,000 of adjustable suspension. That said, you won't get sweated at a Lemons race for replacing things like tie rods, wheel bearings, and ball joints since they are actually safety items. Other stuff that isn't directly related to handling performance is a gray area. And if you show up with Dumpster Stance, you'll get a lot of leeway.

Because stock suspension work just fine unless you drive it like you stole it.
