YUGO, the car stays.
🕑 Added 2024-08-22 21:04:46 +0000 UTCFirst and foremost - check out this awesome mockup I just made, it features Patreon supporter names. I thought it'd be a cool way to create a physical memorabilia in a form of a golden engraved plaque and I think this may end looking super awesome in person!
I need to chat with some people who can make this reality and if it meets the expectations, I may create more items like this in the future.
In case you're interested in more details and behind the scenes stuff related to the YUGO, I highly recommend to check out this VOD @ 35:31

I covered a lot of cool stuff there. This wouldn't have happened if I didn't go live by an accident lol but nonetheless, originally I was gonna feature a lot of it in a form of a Patreon post here, so I guess that works?
(bandit says hi)
BY THE WAY, I did manage to write down all the names the shop section -

(with an exception of the 2 ton crane, as it's behind a bunch of stuff and I can't reach it atm)
Here's what it looks like right now...

The current state of the YUGO and current plans -
At the moment YUGO tends to start but doesn't idle consistently, so the next step for me is to properly tune it. In order for me to do that I need to fix the entire exhaust system setup and figure if Holley EFI injectors are way too overkill. It may be simply impossible to adjust holley system to pump this little fuel into the car with consistency, if that's the case - I'll look for workarounds but as of right now I just need to make sure the system is properly pressurized and try different fuel ratios, to see what works the best.
Once we get consistent idle - we will have to fine-tune the timing and once that's done, we will be able to drive it on the road (assuming nothing goes wrong).
Currently the garage is in a total mess of a state, so my plan is...
1. Reorganize & sort everything
2. Create a proper exhaust setup for the YUGO
3. Tune the car until we think it's ready
4. Fix the brake light short / minor electrical issues
5. Drive.
I don't have an ETA on the next YUGO episode but assuming everything goes according to plan, the wait shouldn't be as long as it was for the last episode. I've actually been talking about some minor and stupid reasons why the video kept getting postponed in our discord server, so make sure to join it if you still haven't.
I'm also trying to take care of myself and a bunch of other stuff but I think I'm making good progress. I have a procedure sometime this month, so it may slow down things for a bit but overall I'm pretty optimistic about the upcoming videos. I don't know in which order they will come out, as I've been multitasking between 6 main channel videos and I feel like there's a lot of pressure on me due to the success of the last YUGO video. Being serious, thank you so much for your support guys. I really appreciate all the feedback, memes & clips you guys been making, it means a lot!!
Perhaps the next video will be IRL one, that will feature another stupid thing I made but we will see.
This post was meant to show more YUGO stuff but it's all in the VOD link I shared earlier in the post, make sure to check it out! For now I'll just leave this here...
