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.
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.
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. ruclips.net/user/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.
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.
@@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

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
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.
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.
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: carbody __ Z __ I IZI I I IZI I I ''''''''' I ====== axle
@@FauziKay 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.
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.
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.
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...
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 😂
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
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
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
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...
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?
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
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
How about going the whole hog and replacing all 4 springs and shocks with hydraulic cylinders (Easier to find in larger sizes than pneumatic cylinders), running a valve block to control them individually, and fitting an aircon pump to pressurise them? It wouldn't raise the car very fast, but at least it would be a simple one man job.

Could have left 2 in the "pushed in" state, even a bit, and 2 full out- that would have softened the ride a bit

@@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

How about a Lada Airboat? that'll go great on snow, and water. If you make the wheels retractable, you can drive it anywhere.
They work surprisingly well ! 👍
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

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’ve actually thot of this before . very kool what you have done 👍
If you made this into something actually rated for cars then this would be so epic air suspension but for cheap
Those things kinda resemble a shock absorber so technically they will absorb bumps just as well as actual shock absorbers
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.

Laughing at how that dudes face just drops when he finds out the Lada has an automatic transmission

Neighboring garage puts out spiked tire barricades to keep 54 from hitting them on test drives 🤣
It would probably not be easy but I’d love to see the lada have a convertible top that actually goes up and down 😂
Idea for you! Use as many mufflers are possible to fit on vehicle to see how quiet it can be. Maybe power loss also ?
they done that before, it didn't really work making the car quiter and actually ended up making it louder, it also reduced power significantly.
Just casually lifts the rear of the car by hand.
I feel like I missed an episode, I remember an automatic clutch but not an automatic gearbox.
Suggestion use air refill the strut instead of manually picking up the car.
Yup...already know where this is going....coming from a large guy myself.... the only question is how many is it going to take...
Make them like that 👍
I wish I had so many lada’s
Lower two of the pressures and it’ll be softer
