east european cars

And while I'm in the forum, here's an example of a not so attractive Russian revamp

was this a factory model, or a "custom"?
i would really like to know....especially because my girlfriend's car is a lada 2107, and i drive it pretty often

Unfortunately I don't know anything about the history of the Lada, I just found the pics. Sorry psyche

no problem....just wondering

The Volga is beautiful, especially the 850CSi running gear. If I had that kind of money Id buy.......AN AIRPLANE. I still dont trust those RUSKY bastards:P

you gotta love russian cars..........built to last

why would anyone wanna tune an east block brick???

dunno.....just for fun and the feeling of death stearing over your shoulder....you try going up to 140 km/h in an eastern european car, on eastern european roads....then tell me you can drive....

140K in a Eastern European car??? I dont think so, thats not right, that would be trully brave. I know the cars and roads we have here in north america suck, but we can safely go 140 without even thinking twice about it. In a East Euro car, that takes balls.

it's not necesarily brave, sometimes you got to get somewhere in a hurry....

and all you got is a east euro car.....
let me see your balls then

Ive done it, and its scary, you think your piece of shit Cavalier or Cobalt is scary at those speeds, try a mid 70's Dacia or for a real treat a Dacia Lastun, well, the Lastun 140 isnt possible, but still. You feel the speed for real, no insulation, power brakes or steering and the fact it wasnt built for speed in the first place. Plus Ive never worried about hitting a drunken farmer on a unlit horse drawn wagon, o caruta. Why wouldnt you wanna tune a eastern european car, everyone has a tuned Honda/Acura/Neon, Id love to see a 350 horsepower, all wheel drive Dacia. Hmm, I wonder if you could stick an Impreza STi drivetrain under one

don't think you can, because the dacia has front wheel drive....no space for the driveshaft...
but i can show you a 150 hp dacia, just gimme an e-mail or a messenger/skype adress 2 send it 2

OMG... Dacia, Yogo, Lada.... Crappiest cars ever...

I'll just stick to my Mitsubishi Lancer

it said East EUROPEAN...what were you expecting??
if you don't like them, just find another thread that suits you....
some people actually like these fun ol' cars

Really, a Lancer, wow. The great thing about these cars is that they are damn near unbreakable, cheap to fix/own/do up and readily available. You cant say anything about how these cars suck so bad as your Lancer isnt anything to write home about, I mean really, they are the preffered rental and student cars around here. Also, Im willing to bet that even how great your Lancer is, or you think it to be, I would give it about 6 months, TOPS, on Romanias roads before it was undrivable.

there is one in suceava.....the guy has to keep it mostly in the garage....because when he drives it, it tends to brake down...a lot...
great car, i've got nothing against it, just don't mess with east euros....these are cars that will do anything for u, and you can fix them with a sledgehammer and a piece of wire...

nustiu multi de trusa de scula de Dacia, a hammer, oil, pliers, wire and some tape, thats all you need to keep a Eastern Euro car on the road
