In the mists of times, underneath Lewisham railway station was a couple of gypsy brothers who had acquired a cavity insulation machine and using it would inject concrete into the chassis rails and sills of a car rendering the rusted out vehicle into MoT standard because the concrete passed any MoT test and them two rascals taught me a lot about jiggery pokery with cars, from tetrachloride on a clutch plate burnt out, sawdust in the gearbox and grease in the diff those two were past masters at polishing up some real hot t*rds and made a fortune from it.
that effect on the inside roof from impacts is called "spalling" - where kinetic energy transfers through, breaks off material, and turns it into projectiles. for any manufacturers looking to implement concrete roofing, please look into an interior spall liner to go with it. :p
I read a story of a known semi truck drag racer and sled puller where he explains he runs polished cylinder liners. He explains that they made more power less heat and no issues with oil lubrications. Im curious if you guys could remove cross hatching on liners and see what happens
The hardhat made me lol... I'm pretty sure they used compressive strength concrete as well... It has a polymer in it and goes shiny when cured. Even so, I'm amazed how well it performed..
The guys did a fantastic job on the roof it looked like any normal roof. I didn't what you to destroy it .Great experience for the young mechanics the young man did a great job in the spray booth. Bruce. Melb. AU.
It's not high enough to roll over... you would need roof rack and something to catch the wind... Carbon fibre roof would be more likely to roll over as it flexes too much...
@@MysteryMechanic True... But as concrete is heavier, it will push the car down which makes rolling over less likely. I used to be stunt driver and rolled over a car few times. With heavy roof, the weight distribution must be uneven to allow rolling over. This means for example one tire blowing up causing the weight to shift.
@@Monni95 If the roof weighs more, the center of mass will be higher which will make the car more unstable and likely to roll. For example, some electric vehicles like Teslas have a heavy batteries on the bottom of the chassis which brings down its center of mass making it more stable and almost impossible to roll and other vehicles, like SUVs with heavy engines and high suspension, are relatively easy to roll.
I definitely would have reinforced that roof on the inside. That's just scary! Edit: try with fiberglass layer on the inside, maybe it will act like Kevlar!
I would suggest reinforcing a standard metal roof with rebar and no concrete to see how it compares. Maybe try rebar with other materials, like a sheet of steel, paper, and cardboard to mix things up.
@@mshathlonxp yes I figure that. But the point of the video was to repair a broken roof with concrete so it would still be a pretty genuine comparison in the experiment breaking the old one first
add paper clips to the concrete micro reinforcement should minimise the chipping and stop penetration there is a similar concrete used in earthquake applications
whistlin diesel did a video where he drove a tesla car upside down with oversize wheels. you guys could do the same with a lada, take the engine out and mount it upside down in the engine bay, then attach large wheels and drive around with it.
👌😂👍one of the most dangerous experiments you guy’s have done so far! Glad you’re wearing a hard hat! Boy that’s impressive that it held up to those tests! Now that’s some hard strong cement! Now! How about and engine block made out of cement?!😂👍
I call BS on the video from tiktok or whatever it was. Luckily we have Garage54 to take the BS and make it legit, when feasible. Nice. Did too good of a job w/ the reinforcement. Would be interesting to see how it handles driving w/o such reinforcement. Assuming it can handle it's own weight to begin with.
Ever since i saw that video of those guys doing that years ago I always wondered what exactly that would be like to experience LoL. Loss of fuel mileage aside.
Kill-dozer. Now the Lada-dozer. A roof liner under to catch concrete debris, so the passengers wouldn't be inconvenienced. And the concrete roof can be patched like new in no time.
Me after going through a 15kg and an 11kg offroad roof rack i still feel frightened the way the car turns with them, can't imagine driving this thing here 😂
Concrete pistons would be very interesting. However, mortar, [concrete without granite chunks] might scratch the cylinder walls less. Now I’m curious how clay might work. In any of those options, I’d recommend using plenty of oil and polishing the piston’s sidewall.
@@4mdt21 I agree, classic sand and cement Is gonna be too grainy and brittle. It would have to be a very fine mix. Cement and dried Clay powder would make a very fine past they could try to put in a mold, , and after its dried maybe put in lathe and wet-sand down to specs, and get a glassy finish. And use the rubber o rings. Some kind of baked Ceramic could also be fun too, but I think it will be too brittle
Try wooden pistons again! this time try ironwood. The wood is so strong and tough that you can't even hammer a nail in it! ironwood is so heavy and tough that it'll sink if you drop it in water as if there's metal inside but there's not! ironwood is all natural and incredibly strong. I'm pretty sure you can even run a iron wood crankshaft!
5:52 never seen anyone wear a hard hat instead of a racing helmet during a test drive. That a real hard top sedan.
Funniest driving helmet ever
You should watch The Grand Tour episode environ-Mental
Should take it to a bodyshop for an estimate! 😁
That was great, only thing better would be to do a live side by side comparison with a normal roof.
Thought the same
They did the same things few years ago, although from bigger height.
Covering the roof with garage floor epoxy, even the entire car, would be cool
Probably weighs the same as the original lada roof. LOL
transparent epoxy would be interesting, with some LEDs inside to create some kind of sky with stars…
Air-Create ? could be a thing .
I don’t know why dropping things onto other things is always so entertaining. Haha. Great video, boys!
Weighing the car before and after would have been cool to see the total added weight.
My words!
Nice now a cement engine
Maybe they still have the mold from the see through engine.

I’m sure they’ve done that already
Yup! Cement pistons or block sounds good!

I would like to see their version of an armored car.
This is why i love garage 54 ❤😂
I heard that very loud "FUCK" from Vladimir when that kettle bell hit lol
The only thing I would suggest is floating the concrete if you do this again. It will make it much smoother.

You should have done a before and after weighing. Would be fun to know how much weight was added. Great job.
I would suggest 2 Layers of fibreglass on the inside and on the outside.
To have proper strenth the reinforcment have to be maximum twice tve distance as the thickness. And the largest pebels half the thickness.
wonder how much more likely the lada is to rolling over with that roof on it
It's not high enough to roll over... you would need roof rack and something to catch the wind... Carbon fibre roof would be more likely to roll over as it flexes too much...
Cars can flip on a standard roof. G force is a bit different to wind cars don't have sails.

It'd be amazing to see this revisited in the future, but with inside and outside coated with Line-X.
Time for a drivable concrete patio with grill chairs and fridge
They made ships out of concrete for a while.
Concrete Engine block?
Never seen a car wearing a crash helmet before ! :o)
Kevlar mesh embedded into the surface of the concrete to limit the damage caused and catch smaller projectiles.
You forgot to pass electricity pipes.. so you can install a nice ceiling light😂
Hard bumps will Crack that thin concrete

Guy at the scrap metal yard: " Hey, someone go over this guys car, make some adjustments."😆
You should have done the same test on the stock roof before you made the new one, then you would get "concrete" evidence how much stronger it became!
Kettlebell would damage the roof structure. They did that few years ago, but from bigger height - from kettle bell the roof caved in.
@@mshathlonxp yes I figure that. But the point of the video was to repair a broken roof with concrete so it would still be a pretty genuine comparison in the experiment breaking the old one first
Would the internal shrapnel have enough energy to be dangerous to a passenger inside?
100Kg roof can crush Vlads head.
Vlad:I have safety helmet.
"Uh huh... uh huh... mi yes"
I enjoy your content,should be Mythbusters, with the differences, you create the myths
add paper clips to the concrete micro reinforcement should minimise the chipping and stop penetration there is a similar concrete used in earthquake applications
to make something that can be really good, i know its expensive, try a titanium plate in between the original roof and the fabric !
Some people add carbon fiber or fiberglass roofs to their car. Garage54 adds concrete. So awesome hahaha!
This is the first time I've seen him wearing a hard hat. Think of all the crazy stuff they've done and this is the first time we see PPE 😅
whistlin diesel did a video where he drove a tesla car upside down with oversize wheels. you guys could do the same with a lada, take the engine out and mount it upside down in the engine bay, then attach large wheels and drive around with it.
Couple of layers of bed liner would fix that interior headliner right up!
I don’t think it’s possible to miss the holes!
Maby try reinforced concrete with latex paint added for strength and flexible?
should have throw an 50 kilo anvil to see if it really hold up
Now , do a rollover at speed , test 👍
make all panels concret filled , try to shoot it and see if it gets bulletproof
You could use self-leveller instead of plaster for less defects

Wondering how it sounds with subwoofer in car with concrete. How many db. 😂
Can we get an engine block made from wood? Orings on metal pistons with metal internals, just a wooden block.
Just need to do a roll-over test, see how it performs when sliding along its' roof... :P
Pur concrete in the entire car.
A Little tank
Here's an idea: try propelling a Lada with the smallest Radio Control Nytro engine!!! lots of down-gearing!!!
We all want fully concrete body
When the part you want to make the lightest, becomes the heaviest right after the engine 😂
Can you make a complete manual gearbox?

Should see if the car would roll under hard turns with the extra weight up high..
Just wanted to say, thank you for letting us borrow Sergei Pavlovich 😆
Brake fluid as engine coolant

Did you ever use cooking oil instead of engine oil?
Try other materials like plastic, resin. glass, wood, etc.
Nice work 👍👍
What about a concrete engine block?
Can door panels on a LADA be concrete reinforced to be bullet proof ?
Road hugging weight!
I’m thinking about rusted out floors in a car and a trunk floor would be nice sound deadening
So next step a bulletproof car - fill the doors, the bulkhead, wings and floors.
pistons out of concrete? could be interesting!
Extreme spl cars have cement in whole car❤
Can you refine tire diesel
it spalled
Wonder what the weight difference is with the concrete roof.
I would have tried fiberglass resin on the concrete then body filler
that's the kind of reinforcing the presidential Lada gets

Also would like to see you make the rest of the body panels out of concrete
bulletproof?
Love to know the total weight as it hit the roof. Mass times velocity.
You probably mean force not weight as mass times velocity= force/momentum.
Why did I laugh at 10:19 😂
Talk about a hard top
Next cement tires!

Yoooo!

imagine getting in a crash with that above your head. Yikes lol.
If you had used a polymer modified concrete, the roof would have been alot stronger
