Topic: When will the Yugo return to Lemons?

Not since Reno has the far from might yugo raced in Lemons, i think it should return and with as much modification needed to make it become a decent B level racer, no BS points at all, its a yugo!


i loved mine and after lowering it,a rear sway bar and good tires it did handle well, imagine a full proper coilover system and a better engine!  Zastava's finest! and before you say it, i cant build it , im doing 4 Lemons cars at once, and complex ones at that!

Re: When will the Yugo return to Lemons?

If I can find another cheap one I'd probably build another widebody to bring to Lemons someday.  Finding cheap ones seems to be the problem. 
But I agree with you, they handle well on the cheap, I dont even think coil overs are needed.  Lowering spacers in the rear with a good swaybar, X1/9 struts up front and its good to go.   The engine (if you can find the 1300) isnt too bad either.

When will a Yugo return to Lemons?

Not soon enough!

"This is the scene where I get shot," Bronson said. "I have these little squibs that explode to make it look like bullets are hitting." "Fascinating," said Bergman. "I never knew how they did that." "You mean," asked Bronson, "you don't use machine guns in your movies?"

I think Jay may still have the Yugo from Thunderhill '08. If so, he's eager to get rid of it, most likely for free. Send him an email.

Re: When will the Yugo return to Lemons?

Here is a straight GV in need of a head gasket for $400. I will even help you load it on a trailer when you come pick it up. No affiliation by the way.

Re: When will the Yugo return to Lemons?

WTF thats MY old YUGO! asshat stole my picture, that is MY car in front of evilgenuis racing. LOL


so it seems they are all on the east or south coast and are nodoubtedly rusty. that would be ok for racing though,
   i was thinking about getting the smashed yugo from jay, i did bother him about that, i was thinking tube frame with a Northstar v8 in the middle, but i had no room, the yugo would need alot of body work on the roof to look good(  which i would want it to) and i decided the Black ops projekt would be more fun, and it is


id say my car is straight, man im still pissed i sold it, and just for $1100, its still sitting in storage at the new owner's salt lake city garage.

Perhaps I should have clarified.....in NJ.  Driving all over creation to collect Yugos seriously detracts from Wartburg building time.
