In almost every car you can find some flaws, and a small city car Daewoo Matiz is no exception. The disadvantages of this machine, as well as the advantages, are in abundance. This article presents simple and useful improvements with which you can start transforming your car. At the same time, all of them can be performed independently - such modernization will not require any special skills or significant costs.

Removal of crankcase gases

Many Matiz owners have probably encountered the problem of freezing the ventilation valve in winter period time. Its consequences include, at best, knocking out the probe, and at worst, squeezing out the seals.

There are several ways to prevent this problem. One of them is to install a special ball in the tube going to the air filter. This is done in order to limit the supply of cold air to the valve in winter.

Some car owners make their own adjustments to this process, since many simply do not understand how, if necessary, to remove the inserted ball from the tube. That is why particularly resourceful motorists cut the channel closer to the valve, insert a small piece of copper tube, thus connecting the ends of the cut hose, and in winter they screw a bolt into one end of the tube.

Connection example

Judging by the reviews, even such an upgrade really helps: the probe does not knock out, and the valve does not freeze.

However, after a certain period of time, the problem may again remind of itself. In this case, most people think about whether to remove the ventilation valve altogether, especially since there is plenty of information on how to do this on the Internet. The most common way includes the following steps:

• purchase of a hose with a length of 300–400 mm and an inner diameter of 10 mm;
• attaching one end of the hose to valve cover, and the second - in the air filter housing with a pre-drilled hole;
• a hose plug at both ends (for this you can use a dispenser ball from any elite alcohol);
• making a hole in air filter(right under the tube) to drain condensate;
• elimination of the resonator for taking in warmer air and minimizing the chances of freezing of the tube at the outlet.

With this minor improvement, you no longer have to worry about valve freezing. In addition, another advantage of this design is the protection of the throttle assembly from clogging. True, in this case, you will have to replace the filter more often, but it is much easier than changing the oil seals.

Deflectors

For Daewoo Matiz, it would be useful to install deflectors on the doors - plastic products that provide reliable protection against the powerful air flow that forms during movement. Such devices are attached in two ways:

• with the help of adhesive tape;
• through special fasteners.

In both cases, before installing the deflector, it is necessary to prepare the surface of a certain area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe car. To do this, it should be washed with soapy water and wait for complete drying. If you have chosen a product that is fixed with adhesive tape, then you will also have to degrease the surface with a solution containing a high percentage of alcohol.

The pencil tip must be soft so as not to damage the paint of the car.

The next step is to remove the protective film from the adhesive tape, after which glue can be applied to it for a stronger fixation. The final stage is the installation itself: the deflector will need to be attached to the door, guided by the previously applied marks, and held for several minutes. If you used glue, it will take approximately 12 hours for it to dry completely.

As for the plug-in, it is mounted in a groove on the top of the door. It should be squeezed a little in the center and inserted into the place intended for it. After you open your fingers, the latches will automatically open, which will firmly hold the deflector.

Plug-in device

Cabin ventilation valve

Ventilation valves provide flow of fresh air into the passenger compartment and help reduce fogging of the windows. They also contribute to better closing of the doors, so installing them will allow Matiz owners to make their car more comfortable.

The sequence of this upgrade:

As a result, the doors close much easier, since there is no longer an air lock in the cabin, and the comfort in the car has become much higher.

trunk space

Another significant “minus” of a Daewoo car is a small trunk. What to do if there is a catastrophic lack of space for various little things such as a pump, first aid kit, balloon key and other things? The answer is simple - turn the spare wheel over, especially since it does not take much time and effort.

Initially, you should prepare the trunk for transformations. To do this, you must completely clean it, not forgetting to get the ill-fated spare wheel out of it. Now you can safely start upgrading. First of all, you will need to cut off the factory bracket used to mount the spare wheel with a grinder. Next, it is worth cutting the stiffeners and bending the upper edges at an angle of 90º to the middle.

Trunk preparation

Then you need to pick up a stainless steel plate with a thickness of about 5 mm (it should fit between the folded edges). After this, the edges should be bent again and drilled 4 holes in them with a diameter of 6.5 mm, change the drill to a larger diameter and chamfer. Next, you will need to install the plate between the homemade brackets and drill holes in it with a diameter of 5.5 mm, corresponding to the holes of the brackets, and cut the threads into them with a 6 mm tap.

The plate must be screwed with 6 mm flat head bolts. Next, the spare tire lies disc down, while one of the disc holes should be on the plate. Mark the center of the hole with a marker, then remove the wheel.

The matter remains small - drill a hole with a diameter of 10.5 mm at the mark, take a long bolt of 10 mm, cut off a part of the thread 45 mm long from it, insert it into the plate and scald. Then paint the entire structure, except for the threads, and cover everything with a piece of rubber to avoid scratching the disc.

Spare in new location

In addition to the above methods of refinement, you can take care of engine protection, fender liner, daytime running lights, sound insulation and much more that does not give you rest or full comfort.

Subcompact Matiz with the emblem of the Korean company Daewoo has established itself as reliable car with a long service life for a careful owner. Minimum fuel consumption, affordable components, excellent maneuverability and driving performance make this model competitive with popular representatives of recognized world brands.

In the third generation, manufacturers managed to turn it into an absolutely modern universal city car, attractive to active people of any age and gender.

At the same time, the owners of this "iron horse" are far from always satisfied with the appearance and equipment of the pet. The desire to make the car more striking and unique attracts drivers to specialized design salons and tuning studios.

Exterior

Car designers made Daewoo Matiz"alive"...

The bright expressive "eyes" of the head optics and the wide "smile" of the air intake in the front bumper are very nice, but still leave a wide range of work for a real creator.

Body

The most desperate tuning fans mercilessly cut and remake the subcompact body. As a result of such dramatic changes, cars in the back of a convertible, pickup truck, buggy, as well as cars with guillotine doors, extended arches and fenders, a modified hood and other "gadgets" are born.

The only common step for each of these cases is the qualitative anti-corrosion treatment body, especially the joints and cutting of metal elements.

body kit

A less radical, but no less effective step is to install aerodynamic body kit.

It may include:

• exclusive bumpers;
• skirt and sills;
• wing and spoiler;
• hood and window deflectors.

These elements can be both factory-made and custom-made, in a set or purchased separately.

In addition to the aesthetic transformation, the body kit will increase the streamlining of the body, reduce its resistance to air flow and improve the driving performance of the vehicle.

The next step in the transformation of the Daewoo Matiz is the tinting of the windows and the painting of parts of the body or the entire car.

The sporty style of the car will be given by contrasting stripes applied along the hood, roof and stern.

Absolutely unique Daewoo Matiz will make an exclusive drawing applied using airbrushing or vinylography.

A noticeable pattern on the body of a subcompact, among other things, can save the "horse" from theft, as it is very noticeable and conspicuous.

Daewoo Matiz headlights are simply made for tuning. It is enough to choose a different backlight, paint the reflector or change the design.

Please note that in many cases minor adjustments to the hood and/or bumper may be required.

The factory headlights of the car are bright enough, so the cilia will in no way damage the illumination of the road at night. With their help, the appearance changes instantly and without much manipulation of the car. Angel eyes will add to the image of aggressiveness and style.

The use of LED running lights and colored foglights is a matter of taste and personal choice of everyone.

wheels

The final chord in the transformation of the car can be new wheels.

The modern market offers the buyer a huge range of alloy and cast car rims with the most bizarre and sophisticated knitting needles.

In addition, brand new wheels can be "shod" in quality rubber With . All this will be very relevant after all the work done so far on the transformation of the "horse".

Backlight

Lighting of the bottom vehicle is becoming more and more popular now, regardless of model and class.

For its installation, you do not need to have additional knowledge, it is enough to securely fix the elements on the bottom and connect to the on-board network of the machine.

Using xenon, you can provide a bright light that is visible at night from afar, and for a more subdued shade, LED tubes are used.

Interior

The first stage of high-quality tuning of the interior of any vehicle is soundproofing. It can be done at any car dealership or with your own hands. After the procedure, you will be very surprised by the sound quality of the acoustics and the absence of outboard sounds.

In order to spend time on the road with comfort at any time of the year, it is worth replacing the upholstery of the cabin and seats with leather or a combined material and installing seat heating.

Chrome-plated elements (setting knobs, well edging, cup holders, etc.) will add solidity, and illumination of various niches and shelves will give comfort.

It is advisable to install additional equipment on a budget model only if it is really necessary. These can be: parking sensors, a video recorder, an alarm system, as well.

Chip tuning

The engine is the heart of the car. Therefore, it requires no less attention than the inner or outer shell.

Chip tuning allows you to reduce fuel consumption, ensure smooth driving and increase engine performance over a very wide range.

This kind of "witchcraft" over the power unit involves connecting to a computer that changes the factory program electronic block motor control. Professional "chipovka" can work wonders, but it is better to entrust it to specialists, since the presence of "software" on a PC does not guarantee the ability to use it.

Every owner of a new or used Matiz wants to transform it beyond recognition. Remember that not everything depends on desire and enthusiasm. In addition, it requires the availability of funds and free time, which will definitely be needed in the process of creating an automotive masterpiece.

Examples of the Transformed Daewoo cars Matiz of various generations can be seen in the video below.

Below are all the site materials about Daewoo Matiz

Daewoo Matiz is a compact and low-budget car, ideal for busy city driving. The car is particularly maneuverable and very easy to drive. Good equipment Salon Daewoo Matiz provides convenience and comfort to both the driver and passengers. The cost of this model today on the territory of Uzbekistan starts from 8000 USD, for a practically new car in a modest configuration and from 11000 USD. for the modification "Best".

This vehicle has big choice accessories that give the hatchback a special style. Alternative optics, spoilers, wind deflectors, air intakes, door sills - this is not the whole list of accessories available and suitable for high-quality tuning of a Daewoo Matiz car.

Engine tuning

Daewoo car Matiz is a small car with good technical performance. Depending on the configuration, a 3- or 4-cylinder engine with a volume of 0.8 - 1 liter is installed on the Daewoo Matiz. Fuel consumption Daewoo Matiz ranges from 5.0 to 5.5 liters. on the highway (speed 90 km / h), and in urban mode 7.4 - 8.0 liters. per 100 km.

If desired, you can tune the car engine:

• chip tuning;
• installation of tuned camshafts and drive gears;
• increase in the working volume of cylinders.

The last two points are possible when installing the crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons from Chevrolet Aveo, whose engine capacity is 1.2 liters. Cylinders can be bored up to 1.2 liters, while the power will increase to 70 liters. With.

Optics, wheels, body kit

The optics of any car is its calling card. The installation of front tuning optics is completed both in the Angel Eyes style (angel eyes) and in the Day Line style (LED eyelashes like the Audi R8). tuning rear lights Matiz is most often made using LED technology. It should be noted that all tuning optics on the market are easily installed in standard connectors.

Most effective way to modify your car is the installation of an aerodynamic body kit, which includes the installation of a rear and front bumper, door sills, spoilers, mesh for tuning the grille, hood deflectors and much more. It should be noted that these elements are made of a number of materials: fiberglass, polyurethane, plastic. A separate issue is the choice of disks for the car.

When choosing discs for Daewoo Matiz, it is necessary to take into account the required diameter of the disc and its type (cast or steel). The main parameter when choosing discs for Daewoo Matiz is the number of mounting holes and, of course, the diameter of the circumference of their location. Wheels with a diameter of R13, R14 are perfect, it depends on the year of manufacture of the car and its configuration.

Suspension

The installation of a sports suspension on Daewoo Matiz from manufacturers of leading European companies (TA Technix, FK-Automotive, MTS Technik) will provide not only excellent specifications but also reliability and durability. Installing a branded suspension provides better vehicle stability and reduces body roll.

Tuning Daewoo Matiz will turn a stunted car into a fast compact car

Can also be installed on this car screw suspension, which will allow you to change its characteristics for specific situations. In addition, some kits of this suspension provide adjustment, as well as ground clearance, and the degree of stiffness of the shock absorber. Springs with an underestimation of 25 or 30 mm are easily installed on the "native" Daewoo Matiz shock absorbers. It should be noted that the springs not only emphasize the sporty character of the car, but also provide comfortable driving conditions for the driver and passengers.

As a result, thanks to such a popular car refinement as auto tuning, even a modest small car can create a unique car. Which will emphasize the individuality of the owner and stand out from the crowd.

Improvements in Matiz

TUNING DAEWOO MATIZ. PHOTO REPORT

1. Installing seat covers made of leather.zama.

We turned to the B&M office mentioned in the forum on Dubnenskaya http://www.avtobm.ru/. We studied the range of products offered - did not like it. We agreed that they would sew covers from the materials we bought (only they refused the guarantee). We found out from them where you can buy high-quality leather. http://www.confy.ru/ We bought the required amount (1.5m) and took it to the studio. Self installation covers is no big deal. good helper, a couple of pifs, a little patience and 1 hour of free time.

We remove the seats and the plastic sidewall (see photo 1.1).

Photo 1.1

We put on a seat cover. We pull the lower edges down and towards the back, while smoothing and adjusting the cover with our hands so that it sits clearly on the relief of the seat (this is where an assistant is needed). We put the laces on the side. Turn upside down. We pull the ropes (see red arrows in photo 1.2) and at the same time we fill the excess seat fabric under the cord (see blue arrows in the photo). We smooth the covers (so that there are no wrinkles) and tie the laces. We cling to the rubber bands as shown in the photo.

Photo 1.2

We dress the back like this: we put on the cover, carefully, smoothing it with our hands, we put it on as tightly as possible (do not overdo it and do not tear it !!). We tie the ropes from below. When tying, do not pull too hard, otherwise ugly "constrictions" will appear near them. Do not try to stretch the backrest so that the holes line up with the slots for the headrest - this is almost impossible. back seat stretches generally elementary. Again, be careful not to tear the case when pulling on the cord.
Another tip - do all work at a temperature of at least 20 degrees. The skin is more elastic and stretches better.

2. Wrap inside velvet doors. (oval part of the Matiz MX door trim)

Material: velvet 1m/pg (for 4 doors), universal glue 3pcs, nail scissors.

We remove the door trim and unscrew the socket with the power window buttons from it. We lay the sheathing horizontally, cut off a piece of material about 50x80 cm, apply glue with a thin layer on the inside of the oval contour (the amount of glue - determined empirically - should not be plentiful otherwise, when glued, it will come through the fabric outward). Gently apply the velvet on the adhesive surface with four hands at an angle (it is better to start from a flat surface, and gradually lowering the fabric to smooth it to the convex part). The resulting folds must be carefully removed by stretching the fabric to the sides. Further, without wasting time, you need to cut off the excess parts of the fabric clearly along the hollow in the sheathing (this is where you will have to tamp the edges of the velvet), for this we use nail scissors, and slowly, we start cutting off the fabric by 1 cm (you need to cut the fabric with an indent from the hollow of about 3- 5mm.). Having cut off all the excess, we take a tube of glue and apply it to the inside of the hollow of the skin (try not to fill it entirely, otherwise the glue will come out when stuffing the material there) and with the tips of the scissors we begin to tamp the fabric (the procedure is rather dreary, but by the second door the hand will already be " packed"). And finally, we cut holes for the door handle and the socket with buttons. We screw everything in place. READY. (having taken up this business for the first time, he spent only 2.5 hours finishing four doors).

3. Close-fitting of internal racks with velvet and kozh.zamom.

Material: velvet/leather substitute 0.6 m/pg, adhesive moment universal, scissors.

We remove the plastic racks (6pcs), for this we unscrew the seat belts, and we pull off the racks themselves on the caps. If you have an alarm LED on the front driver’s pillar and it just doesn’t pull out, you will have to bite off the wires from the diode and twist or solder them back in the future. We put the stands horizontally, apply glue, apply velvet, cut off the edges with an indent of 1-2 cm and tuck it on the back side. It takes about 1 hour in time. Covering by each deputy is carried out according to the same principle. Just so that the glue does not corrode the rubber base of the leather.zama. you will have to first cover the reverse side with a layer of PVA glue (it will serve as a primer), let it dry and get to work.

4. ROOF COVERING WITH PLUSH OR VELVET

Material: fabric 2m/pg., liquid tape (glue) (see Photo 4.1)

Photo 4.1

Removing the roof takes about 10 minutes: we unscrew the seat belts, pull off all the racks, unscrew the ceiling handle of the visors and the ceiling lamp, take out all the caps (you will have to tinker with the central ones, see Photos 4.2, 4.3), pull off the door seals. Everything. Carefully pull the roof through back door. To stick the matter, we use Aerosol Adhesive (usually sold in large spare parts stores, such as "Rus"), if the material used is quite weighty - for example, plush, then you need to add a couple of tubes of "moment" or purchase more expensive liquid adhesive tape. We apply the adhesive on both surfaces to be glued, if necessary, add a “moment”, squeezing the tube in an S-shaped manner onto the entire surface of the roof, apply the fabric, smooth it and let it rest for 4 hours. It will be better if you provide a load, for example: throw a bunch of pillows. Further, if you value aesthetics, you will have to paint each cap in the color of the future roof. This can be done with a marker or as it should be with spray paint, but in any case, you will have to splurge on varnish, otherwise the paint will fly off and the marker will be erased from your fingers. We cut out all the technical holes in the fabric. We fasten everything in its place and enjoy the beauty))

5. Painting the center console, inserts at the checkpoint and dome interior lighting.

Material: Solvent degreaser (only not domestic WHITE SPIRIT!!! It dissolves paint, but does not degrease surfaces. After it, greasy stains remain) 1 pc., primer for plastic (spray) 1 pc., paint (spray) 2 pcs., varnish (spray) 1 pc. ., masking tape 1 roll, plastic tie 10-15 cm - 2 pcs.

Photo 5.1
Removing the center console of the instrument panel: 5 screws, gently but strongly pull the console towards you, when it is disconnected from the torpedo, you will need to turn off the top 2 buttons on the back side. Then we unscrew the nozzles of the air ducts.

Removing the insert from the gearbox: first, we bite off the screed with wire cutters, which holds the cover of the gear knob on top. Next, with the index finger, we hook the insert in the hole under the handbrake and pull it up, when the first latches are unhooked, we take the insert on the sides and, swinging to the sides, continue to pull up. After removing the insert, unscrew the four screws holding the frame with the casing on the back side.

Removing the lighting cover: with a slotted screwdriver we hook the plastic glass (see photo 5.2), behind it we find and unscrew two screws, remove the cover from the roof and disconnect the terminals.

Photo 5.2

Preparation for painting: with outside we seal the glass of the interior lighting ceiling with masking tape, tuck the edges of the tape on the back side and insert the glass into place (this is necessary so that when painting, do not paint over the internal parts of the ceiling where the bulb and terminals are located). Preparing the room for painting. It should be a clean room, without drafts and preferably with a minimum amount of dust and insects. We degrease the surfaces of the parts with a solvent, carefully rubbing it into the surface, repeat the process several times, this is important - otherwise neither the primer nor the paint will lie down and unpainted bubbles will appear. Arrange the prepared parts so that, without touching them with your hands, you can approach them from all sides. It is better to work indoors alone to avoid the movement of dust in the air.

Painting:

1. Apply primer for plastic, holding the balloon at a distance of about 80-90cm. (if you bring the balloon closer, then the soil lies too abundantly on the surface and dries longer). It is better to apply the primer in two or three thin layers than to try to cover it abundantly in one layer. We are waiting for complete drying (15-30 min.)

Photo 5.3

2. The paint is applied in thin layers at a distance of 30-40 cm, with a break of 20-30 minutes. The number of layers varies from 6 to 10. Between staining 6-10 layers, you need to take breaks for about 1 hour, because in the aggregate of layers they dry much longer.

Photo 5.4

3. Varnish is applied only AFTER COMPLETE DRYING OF THE PAINT! (if possible, then you need to start applying varnish only the next day, this guarantees the quality and durability of the future part). We also apply in thin layers, holding the balloon at 30-40 cm. with a break of 10-20 minutes. In the case of abundant application of varnish, it can simply wash off even completely hardened paint, so there is NO HURRY HERE.

6. Close-fitting sun visors and gearbox

Of course, it’s not a man’s business here - you’ll have to use sewing machine although you can try.

Materials: velvet/leather substitute 0.5m/pg., plastic ties (a couple of pieces)

Remove the sun visors (4 screws). To remove the casing of the gear knob, we bite off the coupler at the handle itself (see photo 6.1), pull out the insert at the gearbox in the same way as when painting, unscrew the four screws from the back and disconnect the frame with the casing. Next, with a knife or screwdriver, we bend the paper clips that attach the casing to the frame. To make a new casing and "covers" for sun visors, you will need patterns, you will have to make them yourself. Getting a gear knob pattern is very simple - you need to rip open the old cover and attach the pieces to the material from which you will sew the casing. But over the patterns of the visors will have to work.

The finished gearbox cover is put on the frame (where the paper clips were) and sewn around the perimeter with ordinary threads. There are enough holes. Don't forget the plastic tie at the top of the case.

Photo 6.1

The visor case is similar to a regular soft eyeglass case. Only it is sewn into tension and then the edge is sewn up with threads (see photo).

7. Installing the ProSport Tachometer in the Air Nozzle Hole

Material: plastic dvd box, screwdrivers, cutter, insulation, masking tape, black marker.

Tachometer ProSport 6.5cm. tinted glass. I bought it in the company store http://www.pro-sport.ru It is not on the site itself. You need to call and ask.

Photo 7.1

Removing the center console of the instrument panel: 5 screws, gently but strongly pull the console towards you, when it is disconnected from the torpedo, you will need to turn off the top buttons on the back side. Then we unscrew the air duct nozzles and take out the air guide grille from the nozzle cylinder.

1. To fix the device in the left hole of the air duct, you will need to make a plastic insert between the tachometer and the nozzle cylinder (this is a kind of washer that serves as an adapter, into the inside of which the tachometer itself is inserted, and outer edge it lies in the groove of the air duct cylinder). I made it from a black plastic DVD box. To do this, we apply the front part of the nozzle cylinder to the plastic and circle the outer contour with a nail. The result is a circle of the outer radius of the nozzle. Next, we retreat 1-1.5 mm into the inner part and cut out a circle with a cutter, then we adjust the part so that it clearly fits into the grooves on the outer part of the duct. After that, you just need to cut a hole in the plastic for the tachometer itself, shifting it from the center. We insert the tachometer into the manufactured adapter and wrap it with electrical tape so that it does not fall out back, insert it into the nozzle and fasten it with screws. Then it is important that the device, being in the duct nozzle, is not damaged by hot or cold air, therefore, in the free space behind the tachometer, it is necessary to put a porous material (for example, a dishwashing sponge) and then seal the back with masking tape in several layers.

Photo 7.16. Pull off the rubber cap. there is a green wire underneath. We carefully cut it and attach (or rather solder) the wire, which we put into the corrugation that goes to the salon.

2. Connecting a tachometer. As a rule, the color policy of wires is the same everywhere. In my case it is:
- green - on the reel
- red - to "+"
- black - to ground

Now in order. The green wire is led from the positive terminal on the reel to the passenger compartment through the hole under the steering column. When laying the wire in the engine compartment, it is advisable to shove it into the factory corrugation (so as not to attract the attention of the masters at the services), and in the passenger compartment of the car to the installation site - it is better to cling it with ties to any accessible parts higher from the driver's feet. Red must be connected to the positive wire on the terminal block of the alarm button (brown with a white stripe), but black - on the same block to black. Thus, the device will turn on together with the marker lights.

Daewoo Matiz - first-class tuning with your own hands

We carefully open the sheath of the necessary wires, stepping back a little from the block (a couple of centimeters) and we attach ourselves (or better, we solder), after which we carefully isolate.

Photo 7.17. We connect the wires


Photo 7.18. We fix the structure in place.
We install the center console of the torpedo in place - ready. Time about 3 hours.

Repair and adjustment of the tachometer.

Since the tachometer is operated at high vibration and high temperatures, there may come a day when it starts to "fail" - incorrectly show the speed. You can take the device to a service or (if, for example, the warranty is over) repair it yourself.

Materials and tools: medium flat screwdriver, watch screwdriver, round nose pliers, "Super Glue".

We take out the tachometer from the panel and disconnect the connector from the back side.

Gently flare with a screwdriver (bend around the perimeter) and remove the cover. Try not to touch the plate with the drawn scale with your hands. Gets dirty - you are tormented to polish

Unscrew the two screws at the back and take out the indoor unit. ATTENTION!!! before removing the unit, make sure that you are free of static electricity! To do this, it is enough to hold on to something iron and massive (for example, unpainted car parts, a water pipe).

Photo 7.21


Photo 7.22

There is a small variable resistor on the back wall of the block (see photo 7.23). It needs to be adjusted.

Photo 7.23

Methodology: With a clock screwdriver, turn the slider several times until it stops in one direction and the other several times (to erase the oxide layer that could have formed there during operation). We connect this block to our wire in place (without assembling it back). We expose the arrow with our hands to "0". Next, we start the car (it should be well warmed up) and turn on the dimensions. With one hand we hold the tachometer and look at the arrow, and with the other we rotate the resistor until the arrow is at around 850-900 rpm ( idling). We muffle the car, turn off the unit.

Now the resistor needs to be fixed in this position so that it does not move from vibration. To do this, we take a thin sharp object (needle, paper clip), dip it in glue and drip a drop onto the resistor.

Photo 7.24

We let the glue dry, once again we check the performance, assemble and mount it back.

Do-it-yourself Matiz tuning or how to modify Matiz, how to improve Daewoo Matiz? This article is about the modifications and tuning of Matiz and Chevrolet Spark

Matiz and Spark are A-class cars and their shortcomings are a continuation of their advantages such as small size, maneuverability and consumption. Let us consider in more detail what can be done from a technical point of view so that driving in a car is pleasant and comfortable. Some links lead to the technical section of the Matiz Club, which requires registration to view

Engine
• Oil filter. I recommend using the Mann 67/2 filter. The original filter may leak oil in cold weather.
• Crankcase ventilation system. At low temperatures, freezing of the crankcase ventilation system occurs, which leads to the extrusion of the front crankshaft oil seal or the oil dipstick knocking out. In the event of a leak through the stuffing box, we are doomed to repair with the replacement of the timing belt and other drive belts. Helps warming engine compartment and/or blocking a large ventilation branch with a bearing 10 mm in diameter. Photos will come later
• Oil starvation.

  This disease is most susceptible to Matiz with a 1.0 engine. MOT should be done on time and used quality oils, forum topic. Remember that the operation of the machine in urban areas refers to difficult operating conditions and, according to the instructions of the factory, the service interval should be shortened. In practice, I change the oil on my car ~ at 7 thousand kilometers

Improving the dynamics of Matiz, how to increase power?
Under the hood, the baby does not have a herd of horses, so the owners often ask to make the car drive better. It should be noted that serviceable and serviced motors can be subjected to tuning. Consider the main directions of tuning Matiz:
• Chip tuning Matiz. One of the most accessible ways. More details and registration can be found here
• Tuning throttle. Also a budget option improvements, giving excellent result.

  More details can be found here

• Tuning distributor. Slightly less budget option compared to the first two options. Forum thread
• Matiz 1.2 l, not a myth, but a reality! Alteration of the Matiz 1.0 engine to 1.2. This option is quite expensive, but the result is excellent! Read more

Suspension. Suspension tuning Matiz
The standard suspension of even a new Matiz from the salon is far from ideal. That is, it is far from ideal. Frequent breakdown of the suspension, yaw of the car on the road, damage rims- disadvantages faced by the owner.
• Lesjofors springs. Soft and comfortable springs for great results with KYB struts
• Racks KYB Excel-G. Gas-oil racks significantly change the behavior of the Matiz suspension on the road. In combination with Lesjofors springs, the best result is achieved.
• Tires 165/65/R13. This rubber is a little wider than the standard one (155), a slightly higher profile, but nevertheless, with these dimensions, we get rid of the ailment of damage to the discs when they hit the pit, or rather, the disc can be bent, but now it is much more difficult
• raising Daewoo Matiz. Matiz has a good geometric passability. If necessary, the car can be raised. It is logical to reduce the cost of work by raising the machine with work on the modernization of the suspension.

You can order the completion of the Matiz suspension in St. Petersburg by calling 8921 750 5odin 82

Transmission
• Frequent problem with mechanical box Matiz gears - poor gear engagement, the second gear of Daewoo Matiz is especially often poorly engaged. Get rid of the disease helps the use of oil in the manual transmission for automatic transmission, such as ATF Eneos Dexron III. More discussion on the forum

Electrician
• Generator. The standard Matiz generator fails in almost 100% of cases. Solution: replace it with a Mando generator, at the same time transferring the generator pulley from the old generator to the new one and forget about the problem almost forever
• Heating button rear window. The high-current load in the form of rear window heating is switched on directly via a button. The button gets hot, melts and stops working. In addition, some salons connect mirror heating to the same long-suffering button, which accelerates its failure. Solution: put an unloading relay and forget about the problem

Dashboard
• Motor temperature display. The standard indicator of the temperature of the Matiz engine, when the engine is warm, freezes in one position and does not want to deviate anywhere. The installation of a temperature sensor from Daewoo Tico helps to make the behavior of the arrow more informative.
• Installing the instrument panel with a tachometer on Matiz. The topic is discussed in more detail here.

Many Daewoo owners Matiz preferred this particular car due to its compact size and rather good looks. But the rest of this machine has mediocre performance. Therefore, many people decide to tune Daewoo Matiz, especially since this car allows you to do a lot of interesting things with yourself. It is noteworthy that do-it-yourself tuning of Matiz is not very difficult, since for this you can use spare parts and parts from other cars.

Improvements to the technical component

Tuning and Daewoo improvements Matiz can start with the suspension. To make it more adapted to our road conditions, it is enough just to replace the shock absorbers. And for this, elements from Lada Kalina are suitable.

Replacing shock absorbers is not a very simple operation, since you will have to almost completely disassemble the suspension. Of particular difficulty lies in the fact that the springs of the shock absorber struts are in a preloaded state, so you cannot do without the presence of special spring couplers. But if the skills of repairing Matiz with your own hands are available, then it is possible to completely replace the suspension elements in garage conditions. In addition, when replacing shock absorbers, it is worth immediately changing all consumables.

But after such alterations, the tuned Matiz will more confidently hold the road and “chew” potholes and pits.

Matiz engine tuning is also done. Here, specific processing cannot be done due to the design features. Still, it is almost impossible to find any tuning and modified spare parts for a 3-cylinder unit.

But you can affect the power system. For example, it is quite possible to change some injector sensors, as well as throttle valve. Here I will fit elements from Fiesta or Solaris.

And then we carry out Matiz chip tuning in order to get better output indicators in terms of power and dynamics. Here we note that it will not be difficult to chip the installation for 1.0 liters of volume, but it will not work to do such an operation with a 0.8-liter unit.

Recently, automakers have been paying quite a lot of attention to the production of small city cars. This is due to the fact that the number of road transport on the streets is constantly increasing, and this phenomenon has a negative impact on the environment. Subcompact cars characterized by the fact that they are equipped with small engines that do not produce a lot of gases. In addition, in urban conditions, the small size of the body favorably affects.

Matiz can be called a bright representative of this class. A South Korean company is engaged in the release of such a model. Over a long period, the model enjoyed quite a lot of popularity, which can primarily be associated with low cost and maintainability. However, the car is in many ways inferior to its competitors. An example is the relatively unattractive exterior and poor quality finishes. That is why many owners of this model are considering the possibility of tuning. Consider the features of a small car and how it can be upgraded.

Features of the car in question

To date, four generations of the subcompact in question have been released. The first modification appeared back in 2000. Its features include the following points:

The latest generation was introduced in 2015. It can be immediately noted that it does not at all resemble the previous versions due to the use of a sporty design style. , streamlined shape and many other features of a modern car make this offer very attractive considering the affordable price.

Where can you start the transformation of a small car?

Before proceeding with the direct tuning, you need to determine the sequence of actions. Due to this approach, a fairly large number of various problems can be avoided. The following points can be attributed to the features of the planning of the work being carried out:

1. First you need to decide which particular features of the vehicle do not suit you. An example is low power, poor idling or low ground clearance. Only by writing down such information on paper can a detailed action plan be drawn up.
2. The next important point is that it is recommended to start work from the technical part. This is due to the complexity of such work. The considered car of the first and second generation was equipped with cheap units, which are characterized by relatively low performance. For Matiz, you can pick up spare parts from other cars.
3. Another recommendation is that you first need to upgrade the interior, soundproof it, and only after that move on to the exterior. This procedure allows you to detect serious defects in the body and eliminate them even before applying the finish coat. As a rule, defects and corrosion of the metal are manifested not only from the outside, but also from the inside. If we consider all the Matiz cars that can be found on sale, the problem with the appearance of extensive corrosion on the metal is quite common.

Only with a responsible approach to the issue under consideration can the desired result be achieved. Most of the problems, as a rule, arise with a change in the technical part of the vehicle.

We begin the transformation of the car in question

As previously noted, it is recommended to start upgrading the car in question from the technical part. The features of the work carried out include the following points:

Sidebar: Important: Each type of refinement should be given quite a lot of attention. Problems may arise with the option complete replacement power unit because there are only a few of these products on the market.

Changing the appearance of the vehicle

In addition, you can transform the car in question from the outside. You can select a fairly large number of different ways of tuning appearance All of them have their own specific advantages and disadvantages. The following are the most common examples:

On sale you can find various kits of body kits that can be used to decorate a vehicle. Their choices should be given quite a lot of attention.

Vehicle interior decoration

You can carry out and finalize the interior. It should be borne in mind that the car is a representative budget class, so the interior is unattractive and it’s not worth talking about comfort. The most common examples of interior tuning are the following points:

Sidebar: Important: When tuning, care should be taken to ensure that all materials used are in the same style. On sale you can find various sets that are used to decorate Matiz.

The choice of material for interior insulation

Budget Matiz is made using thin sheet material. This is due to the fact that the automaker tried to save as much as possible when releasing this model. That is why many owners of such a car are considering the possibility of isolation. To do this, choose a more suitable material. The following are on sale:

1. Vibroplast Silver.
2. Vibroplast Gold.
3. Bomb BiMast.
4. Splen.
5. Bitoplast.
6. Accent.
7. Madeline.

All of them are characterized by their specific properties, which need to be considered in detail.

Vibroplast Silver has become quite widespread. It is used to absorb vibration. We highlight the following points:

• High flexibility and elasticity allows the material to be used to work with complex surfaces.
• The material has an aluminum base. Due to this, the structure is characterized by higher strength. The aluminum base also acts as a reflective screen.
• A pattern is applied to the surface, represented by a combination of 5 by 5 squares. This simplifies the process of dividing the sheet into separate parts.
• The structure of the material does not absorb moisture and does not decompose under the influence of the environment.
• High corrosion resistance can be noted. In other words, even with prolonged exposure to high humidity and aggressive agents, defects will not appear on the surface.
• The thickness of the material is only 2 mm. Due to this, it can be purchased to cover the surface of a complex shape.

These properties determine that the material is used to process the crash, door, body side, trunk lid and hood. Vibroplast Gold material has similar properties, which also has a thickness of 2.3 mm.

To absorb vibration, a material called BiMast Bomb can be used. It is characterized as follows:

• The structure is multilayer, bitumen and aluminum foil are used in the manufacture.
• The use of rubber as a base determines that during installation it will be necessary to heat the surface to a temperature of 50 degrees Celsius.
• The peculiarities of production and the raw materials used are determined by the fact that the structure does not absorb moisture during application.
• It is believed that the BiMast Bomb has the highest efficiency.

When choosing an insulating material, it should be taken into account that the thickness is 4.2 mm. Its increased resistance to various environments allows it to be used to insulate the wheel arch and front shield.

Splen can be used as soundproofing. On sale there are materials that have a different thickness index. The main operational characteristics include the following points:

1. Adhesive base is used in production.
2. The structure has high thermal insulation qualities.
3. Insulation does not absorb moisture and does not react to environmental influences.
4. The thickness is 4mm.
5. The operating temperature range is from -40 to +70 degrees Celsius.

The thickness of the material can vary over a wide range. On sale there is a version that has a thickness of 2-8 mm.

Bitoplast is used as a sealing material for sound absorption. Among the features of this seal, we note:

• In the manufacture of polyurethane foam with a sticky layer.
• To improve efficiency, a special gasket is used.
• High water resistance and durability are also the main advantages of this proposal.
• During operation, the insulating material does not emit odor.
• The main properties are preserved at temperatures up to - 50 degrees Celsius.

The thickness can also vary from 5 to 10 mm. Isolation is widely used, it is used in a variety of cases.

An accent can also be used to absorb sound. This version is characterized by the following features:

1. Consists of a metallized film.
2. There is an adhesive base, as well as a polyurethane foam layer.
3. Good heat-shielding properties can also be called the advantage of this proposal.
4. Tests carried out indicate that such a coating absorbs up to 90% of sounds.

Madeleine is considered not only a sealing, but also a decorative material. It is quite simple to use, which can be associated with a small thickness and the presence of an adhesive base. The scope is as follows:

1. Finishing gaps in the instrument panel.
2. Finishing the gaps between the decorative elements of the cabin.
3. Sealing of air ducts.

When choosing a madeleine, it should be borne in mind that the material is made in black.

Preparing the cabin for isolation

Work should begin with the preparation of the car. It looks like this:

1. First you need to decide where exactly the work will be carried out. As a rule, a heated room with good ventilation is required. That is why the work is often carried out in the summer.
2. The next step is to dismantle all the trim and other elements. As a rule, there are no problems with this. When parsing, a large number of different fasteners may remain. In addition, a large number of wires can appear under the skin that cannot be damaged.
3. After dismantling the finish, metal defects may appear. An example is small corrosion spots, as well as large holes. Before insulating the interior, all measures must be taken to solve problems with such defects and the further spread of corrosion. Otherwise, the dismantling of the skin will have to be repeated.
4. If work was carried out that concerns the restoration of the metal, then it is necessary to clean the surface and cover it with protective paints and varnishes.

After the salon has been prepared, you can proceed to the direct work on its isolation.

Interior insulation for increased comfort

After preparing the surface, you can proceed to the direct work. Among the features of such a procedure, the following points can be noted:

As a rule, there are no problems with carrying out such work. To divide the insulation into separate parts, various sharp objects can be used. When laying individual sheets, care must be taken not to form large joints. Otherwise, the efficiency of the work performed is significantly reduced.

What to do with doors?

In most cases, it is the doors that are the source of noise. This is due to the fact that automakers make a hollow structure, as various mechanisms are placed inside. The highlights of our work include the following:

• There are elements in the design of the doors that can create a lot of noise while the vehicle is moving. This is due to the fact that over time, the degree of reliability of their attachment is significantly reduced.
• Doors are made of thin metal. This is done in order to reduce the weight of the structure. Therefore, it is recommended to carry out high-quality surface insulation.
• When choosing a material, do not forget that the design is hinged. Too much weight can cause the structure to warp over time.
• The work involves the dismantling of all elements, after which the surface is covered with insulating material. After that, the structure is reassembled.

When assembling, most attention is paid to the reliability of fastening of all elements. This is due to the fact that the mechanism for lifting the glass and locking the doors after a while can again cause vibration and noise.

Carrying out work in professional studios

Recently, just a huge number of different service stations have been opened that specialize in providing such services. Among the features of the services provided, we note the following points:

1. In some cases, the company is developing a tuning project. To do this, three-dimensional modeling programs are used. Such services are quite expensive, rarely used when tuning the car in question.
2. When choosing a service station, you need to pay attention to reviews that can be posted on a variety of portals. In this way, scammers are well eliminated.
3. The work carried out can be of very high quality, and the owner of the car receives the desired result. This is due to the fact that professionals are engaged in the work with a complete set of required tools.
4. No need to waste time searching for the required materials and tools. This is done by the employees of the service station.

With independent tuning, you can save a lot of money, but it will take a fairly large amount of free time to complete the work. In some stations, Mathis can be changed almost beyond recognition.

Summing up

The car in question, the first and second generation, has been very popular for a long period. This is due to the fact that it has a low cost and at the same time is the most economical offer in its class. However, after acquiring this car, many have a desire to finalize the vehicle. Most often, the changes relate to technical issues and the interior, as well as the exterior. The cost of the modifications carried out depends on the type of materials used.
