No offense to all you ricers out there, but you're slower than molasses on the 5th of december, and by next year, you're also going to be slow than my Yugo.
I think everybody has a little "mad scientist" in them - mine just took over.
So how do I turn my Yugo into the ultimate sleeper?
First I remove the ground effects and install normal GV bumpers and such, so it looks even less special. Well that's how I make it look slow, now how do I make it go fast?
Something some people don't know is that Yugo engines were paterned after FIAT designs, and Fiats came with some pretty powerful engines. My plan is to locate an old X1/9, and use it's engine, if my memory serves me right the engines used in these provide anywhere from 75hp for early engines, to 85hp for the later models.
If my math is correct, if I were to bolt a late model X1/9 engine into my Yugo, my power to weight ration would be an astonishing 1hp per 21.7lbs.!!!
With the 5speed tranny that's already in my GVX, this should lead to incredible acceleration rates, and fuel efficiency shouldn't suffer much either (the X1/9 reportedly got around 30mpg Hwy., the GVX gets 32mpg anyway)
After that, it's making it look semi decent, I was thinking dark tinted windows and a metallic burnt-orange paint job.
Best of all my Yugo won't sound like a weed-whacker gone mad when I want to go fast.
