Not every owner has the right to be called a car enthusiast vehicle, but only the one who cares about his beloved car. The beautiful tuning of the VAZ 2109 interior is one of the ways of careful care and guardianship, because in this way, your car is given individual features and its own unique design.
It is no secret that on the VAZ 2109, the salon, the tuning of which was carried out with your own hands, will look peculiar and according to the tastes of the owner.

Algorithm for tuning the salon VAZ 2109

You can, of course, entrust the tuning of the car's interior to professionals, but nevertheless, the work done by your own hands looks really great and is always happy in your soul.

What you need to purchase

If the revision work will be carried out on its own, then you must definitely purchase the following materials:

• Vibroplast M2;
• New instrument scales (color is selected depending on the preferences of the owner);
• Automotive LEDs designed for all devices;
• Self-adhesive film;
• Fluorescent paint;
• Cartridges and plinths;
• New wires;
• New, preferably from a renowned and expensive manufacturer;
• Plain foil;
• Required tools and so on.

Instrument panel and its tuning

As a rule, any tuning of the salon begins with the dashboard, which needs to be given a delightful and stylish appearance... Of course, we shouldn't forget about the practicality of this part of the car.

Backlight

Probably, every owner of a VAZ 2109 dreamed of having the same illumination on his car as on imported models.

Note. It is from the backlight that, to a greater extent, the appearance of the car interior depends.

Let's get started:

• We remove the standard one, disassemble it.
• We dismantle the instrument arrows, as well as the old cover.

Note. In order for the illumination to better hit the cover, it is recommended to make cutouts from the inside. They are easy to make with a heated knife or soldering iron.

• We take the LED strip.
• We cut it into pieces of three diodes.
• With the help of ordinary foil, a uniform glow is given.

• We take three pieces of LED strip for the tachometer and speedometer, and one piece is enough for the temperature and fuel level indicators.

Note. The factory car illumination will be retained, because it will be assigned the function of illuminating the arrows on the instrument scale.
If it doesn't look very good, then you can upgrade it by gluing LEDs in place of the standard bulbs. It also does not hurt to slightly tint them so that it is not too bright.

• All the necessary contacts are connected to the contacts on the plate of the factory illumination lamps.
• We determine before connecting the contacts, their polarity.
• It is best to use a driver to stabilize the current and power the LEDs.
• We apply a current of 12 volts and check how everything works.
• If all is well, we calibrate the arrows.

Refinement of the panel

The dashboard can be made much brighter and more original if you modify and refine it.
Started:

• We acquire beautiful numbers, ordinary bulbs with sockets, paint, an ultraviolet lamp and a scale panel.
• In the process of removing the panel, do not forget about the black plastic around the glass.
• We disassemble the standard insert for arrows and make the holes much wider than in the standard insert.
• We take out the board with the bulbs.
• We insert neon bulbs instead of the usual ones.
• Insert plastic on top for protection.
• We screw in the instrument illumination lamps, conducting them parallel to the neon lamp.
• We lay the wiring from the inside, before making holes.
• We paint the arrows with a special fluorescent paint twice.
• We put the arrows in their place.
• We check everything and if there are no problems, we assemble in the reverse order.

Noise insulation and cladding

After the dashboard tuning has been done, it's time to start.
So:

• We dismantle all the interior elements and the standard trim.
• We paste over all the necessary surfaces with vibroplast sheets (how to carry out high-quality sound insulation is described in detail in the article "Vaz 2109 interior sound insulation").

Note. Typically, it takes about 14 pieces of insulating material measuring 0.6 x 0.9 meters.

• After soundproofing, we cover the interior.
• First of all, we change the trim on the ceiling (professionals advise to glue it twice, at intervals of 5 minutes).

Note. When carrying out the trim of the passenger compartment, it is imperative to take into account color range and do not forget to glue the doors, dashboard, the area next to the checkpoint and other parts of the car as well.

Steering wheel and its tuning

All experts and professional experts believe that the safest is the standard steering wheel of a vehicle. It was he who was developed by the manufacturer and it was this wheel that passed the necessary tests in accordance with the design of the car.
As a last resort, it is recommended to change the steering wheel to a wheel from the same manufacturer, a newer model. In particular, comfortable and "grippy" steering wheels from the VAZ 2115, etc. are perfect for the VAZ 2109.
On the other hand, if the owner wants more, then on the market you can always buy any "steering wheel", both from a renowned manufacturer and wheel handicraft production.

Yet, as mentioned above, the best option the installation of a standard steering wheel with a braid is considered, which we will analyze carefully. Needless to say, such a steering wheel looks great, but it is very comfortable to hold in the hands, thanks to the increased thickness of the rim.

Braid

The leather steering wheel always looks amazing. It is always pleasant to the touch, looks presentable and expensive.
In addition, the leather "breathes" so to speak, which affects the comfort while holding the wheel on long journeys.
Let's start braiding the steering wheel with leather on our own (this procedure is very expensive for the masters):

• First, we wrap the steering wheel with cling film to make a stencil.

• We wind paper or, better, masking tape over the film.
• Draw the places of the seams with a marker on the scotch tape.
• Cut off the tape along the markings, doing it very carefully.
• We remove stencils, of which there are three.
• Cut out patterns from paper.
• In the leather blank, in the places where the seams are provided, add 5 mm each (along the perimeter of the steering wheel rim, on the contrary, we remove 2 mm).
• We sew the leather, leaving a minimum margin behind the seam of the thread, and cut off the rest.
• We sew a seam around the perimeter of the resulting workpiece.

Note. It is best to sew with synthetic threads, which provide durability and proper quality.

• We apply the leather blank to the steering wheel.

Note. Grooves can be cut in the steering wheel underneath the seams to reduce the overhang of the seams on the front side.

• We thread like a lace in a shoe using a needle.
• We pass the thread over the loops of the seams on different sides of the braid.

Note. It is not necessary to use glue at all, since the tightened braid is already securely fixed.

• We fix the thread at the end of the procedure.
• We put all the removed parts and elements in place.

Replacing the steering wheel

If the steering wheel is changed to a new one, the process will look like this.
Started:

• Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.
• We take out the key from the ignition lock.
• We turn the steering wheel until the lock for locking the steering shaft is activated.
• We apply the appropriate marks on the steering wheel and dashboard.
• We take a screwdriver and pry off the cover plate of the sound signal.
• Then we take it off.
• We unscrew the two screws, remove the cover (we act with a curly screwdriver).
• Now you need to arm yourself with a 24 head and unscrew the nut that fixes the steering wheel (we do not unscrew the nut completely, but a few turns).
• We pull the steering wheel towards ourselves along the shaft splines.

Note. At this stage of the work, there may be a problem with the removal. In this case, an assistant will help, who will strike lightly with a hammer on the steering wheel, always through a special punch.

• We unscrew the nut and remove the steering wheel.
• Transfer the marks from the old steering wheel to the new one.
• Installing a new steering wheel.

The above instruction is an easy tuning of the VAZ 2109 interior. There is also a more complete one, where a mat, a gearshift knob, pedal attachments, buttons, etc. undergo do-it-yourself modernization.
In the process of work, it is imperative to use video and photo materials. The price of tuning components is not great and upgrades are inexpensive.

On the topic of tuning the dashboard illumination of the VAZ 2109, the option of LED illumination was considered without serious intervention in the tidy. There we just replaced the backlight lamps with LEDs, so although the effect is there, we want more over time. The expectation of more comes down to the fact that on the next generations of Samar devices and on foreign cars, the instrument dials are illuminated from the inside, and it looks as if the numbers and instrument scales themselves are glowing. The instrument panels of the VAZ 2109, VAZ 2108 illuminate lamps emitting their light on the dials from the outside, from the side of the arrows, while the brightness and detail of such illumination is low.

Let's try to illuminate the dashboard from the inside, like on foreign cars, using the high panel VAZ 2109 as an example. It should be noted that tuned dashboards in specialized firms are very expensive, so you can save a lot by modifying the dashboard with your own hands.

To do this, we need a light-transmitting overlay on the dashboard, like this one:

We remove from the car and disassemble the instrument panel, remove the instrument arrows and remove the old cover. In order for the illumination light to hit the cover from the inside, we make cutouts on the surface under the cover. This can be done with a heated knife or a soldering iron.

Now we are doing the lighting itself. It will be organized on the basis of an LED strip. We use a tape that is cut into pieces of three diodes. For uniform glow, we make a reflector from ordinary foil.

For the speedometer and tachometer, we take 3 pieces of tape, one piece is enough for the fuel level and coolant temperature indicators.

We keep the standard illumination, as it illuminates the arrows of the instrument scales. It can also be upgraded by gluing an LED strip to the regular place of the backlight lamps, tint it a little, otherwise the backlight will be too bright. You can tint with a tint film, or a black marker, as described in this article. At the same time, it is advisable to leave the standard light filter, the backlight light will be soft and uniform, with a slightly bluish tint.

We connect all this illumination to the contacts of the standard illumination lamp plate, having previously determined their polarity. To stabilize the current, when powering the LEDs, you can use

Dashboard modern car should carry as much information as possible. In the modern world, having only a speedometer, tachometer and fuel level indicator is bad manners. What about when you already have a favorite car VAZ 2109, VAZ 21099 or VAZ 2108, when there are few readings of speed and rpm and you want to get more information about the operation of car systems? For this, an electronic instrument cluster should be installed.

The electronic instrument cluster for the VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099 is not only the output of the data of the above devices in a beautiful digital form, it is also on-board computer... The electronic instrument cluster for VAZ 21099, VAZ 2109, VAZ 2108 has various functions. For example, it warns about oil pressure, brake and coolant condition, battery condition, overspeed and revs, engine temperature and many other indications and functions. Many electronic instrument combinations VAZ 21099, VAZ 2109, VAZ 2108 have nice little things, such as an alarm clock, clock, date and day of the week, outside temperature, calendar.

There are electronic instrument clusters with parking sensors. Parktronic are sensors on the bumper of the car with the output of signals to the electronic instrument cluster. Parktronic helps to park the car in hard-to-reach parking spots. The electronic instrument cluster is installed in place of the standard dashboard, in the old and europanel.

• Gamma GT;
• Flash;
• State.

They all differ from each other in color, the location of the electronic dials of the speedometer and tachometer, and the presence of various indicators.

The electronic instrument cluster VAZ 2108-099 has diagnostic functions. The system will conduct computer diagnostics for errors, if any, will report it. EKP, like an on-board computer, can update software to more current versions.

Of course, the presence of an electronic instrument cluster in a VAZ 2109, VAZ 21099, VAZ 2108 car is not only a tribute to fashion, it is, first of all, comfortable control, feedback from the car, it is prestige, it is the level of a European or american car... Driving convenience with EKP will delight you all the time. Using the steering column switch, without being distracted from the control, you can view statistics on speed, distance traveled, remaining gasoline, fuel consumption per hundred kilometers. Set reminders for spark plug maintenance, oil change, filters. The calendar will notify about the imminent passage Maintenance... With the electronic instrument cluster, you will experience a completely different level of car driving.

Quite a lot of attention to the owners domestic cars pay. This is due to the fact that cars come out at the factory in a very unattractive configuration: low-quality plastic, poor build, outdated controls and instruments, and so on.

If a few years ago VAZ somewhat revised its view of what a car should be, which was reflected in the design, then older models were produced using old technologies that have been wandering since the creation of the automobile plant. They were only slightly improved.

No one will argue with the fact that VAZ has always lagged several times behind even inexpensive foreign cars in terms of quality and degree of equipment. Now it has become possible to slightly transform your car, for which the front torpedo is being replaced or modified.

In this case, we will consider the features of replacing the VAZ 21099 front torpedo: popular methods, difficulties encountered, and so on.

Popular methods of changing torpedoes

Let's start with a list of the most popular front panel modification methods. These include:

1. Its complete replacement. The installation of a new torpedo, which was taken from another, can be called a rather difficult job. Note that if instrument panels and other small tuning parts can be found on sale, then suppliers of such parts do not create a torpedo (it can be found extremely rarely on sale). This is due to the fact that similar tuning carried out quite rarely. However, only by completely replacing the panel can you get rid of the cheap plastic and do away with the crickets, which can make long-distance travel unbearable.

2. Quite often, partial revision is carried out, which is represented by the creation of additional niches for multimedia system, a new function control unit, and so on. Such work cannot be called difficult, since plastic is used in the manufacture of a torpedo - a material that is well processed using improvised tools. The main thing is to carefully carry out such work, since if mistakes are made, important electrical elements can be damaged, and so on.

The first method is implemented quite rarely, but it allows you to achieve a truly unsurpassed result. The second is easier to implement, but does not allow you to finally get rid of low-quality plastic.

Car torpedo wrapping

Another way to get rid of low-quality plastic can be called wrapping a torpedo. As a rule, leather or a quality substitute is used for this. It is quite difficult to carry out the covering on your own, the plastic, which was previously part of the interior design, will serve as a basis.

When choosing a material, you need to abandon the fabric, since the front panel is constantly in direct sunlight, quite often it is more exposed than other upholstery elements. When choosing a color, you need to give preference to not bright shades that will not be very conspicuous. Quite often, you can find examples of tuning in which bright fabrics are used: red, blue and other colors. Note that this option looks quite attractive, but during a long trip, the driver and passengers will be very tired.

Installing a torpedo from another car

A significant improvement can be called the installation of a torpedo, which is intended for another car. Such work is carried out extremely rarely, since it is difficult to perform. Its features include:

• The panel must be matched to the width of the passenger compartment, otherwise it will not become simple even after revision. This also draws attention to the height. For example, SUVs have a taller torpedo that will not fit into the vehicle in question. Most often, they choose torpedoes from foreign cars that were produced in the last millennium. This is due to the fact that they can be found by affordable price on analysis, and improvements may be insignificant.
• All elements of the front end will have to be redistributed. Particular problems arise with the positioning of the stove and steering column. If these elements do not substantially coincide in location, then it is necessary to make significant changes to the design of the torpedo.
• In any case, you will have to create new seats and fasteners on the body, since the torpedo is more difficult to change. This moment determines the need for accurate marking, as well as the performance of welding, creating holes, and so on.
• Many problems arise if the panel does not fit the width of the body. It is quite difficult to shorten the torpedo qualitatively, but it is still possible. After that, you will have to use additional decorative elements to close the seams.

The work can take several days or even weeks, the cost of rework varies in a very wide range.

Such services are provided only by firms that specialize in tuning.

Installation of a multimedia system and other elements

With the proliferation of touch screens, they have become quite often used in the production of multimedia systems that are installed in a car. It is of course possible to purchase a GPS navigator that will mount over the top of the panel. But still, such an implementation option is impractical, since it takes up a lot of free space and impairs the view.

If desired, you can implement the multimedia system in the torpedo. For this:

1. Choosing a multimedia system.
2. Find out its exact dimensions.
3. We mark the area on the torpedo.
4. Carry out cutting of the plastic.
5. Install the multimedia system.
6. We connect the system.
7. We carry out decoration.

In the same way, you can install control units for additional functions, for example, do-it-yourself fog lamps or interior lighting. In order to significantly simplify the work, you can buy a control side from another car from the analysis, also mark the location on the torpedo and cut out the place for installing the panel.

In general, we can say that it is possible to modify the factory torpedo almost beyond recognition.

Expert opinion

Alexander. It is recommended to abandon outdoor GPS navigators: there is no need to mount them on the glass, as the view is significantly reduced from driver's seat... If the navigator is really needed, then you can create a special niche for it in the torpedo. The VAZ torpedo is quite simple and has a large amount of free space to accommodate various control units and multimedia systems.

Alexei. I was installing a new torpedo from another car - a difficult job that requires patience, accuracy and a lot of free time. I must say right away that you need to be well-versed in the placement of important elements of your car: wiring, air ducts, and so on. Dismantling must be done carefully, since the original torpedo may still be needed.

Video tuning of the instrument panel VAZ 21099

Do-it-yourself car tuning is a popular trend today, which is an analogue of foreign specialized design studios. Cars are most often undergoing modernization domestic auto industry... Often these are models that are called classics. Model 21099 or "Ninety-ninth" was no exception, as the car was nicknamed by the people.

VAZ 21099 is a symbol of its era - 90 years. This model can be confidently called a breakthrough of the domestic auto industry in the field of car design. Fundamentally new design, advanced equipment, not bad driving performance for urban conditions conquered hundreds of thousands of motorists. To buy "Ninety-ninth" is to show your high social status in the 90s. And today this car can often be found on domestic roads. Do-it-yourself tuning on a VAZ 21099 allows you to create truly exclusive modifications that will become the pride of the owner.

Traditionally, for the domestic auto industry, the car has a huge potential for modernization. At the same time, the price for tuning a VAZ 21099 will not be high, since many improvements can be made with the help of improvised means and a creative approach to solving problems. But even if you buy the components, the exclusive appearance, non-standard interior design and advanced characteristics of the VAZ 21099 will pay off all the financial costs.

Tuning external VAZ 21099 will not require impressive financial investments, since the appearance of the car changes quite easily by replacing, improving the following elements:

• Radiator grille
• Hood
• Opticians
• Doors
• Wings

Tuning the salon is also relatively easy, thanks to the simple device, the layout of the interior. This is facilitated by a large number of options for its design using specialized and improvised means.

The domestic auto industry offers 2 options for upgrading the VAZ 21099 engine:

• Carburetor improvement
• Injector flashing

In the first case, it is necessary to perform simple actions aimed at improving the fuel supply system by means of a mechanical unit - a carburetor:

• Installing an advanced modification throttle or diffuser. It is advisable to install samples with more than standard markings
• Removing the spring from the primary chamber throttle actuator

Such tuning of the carburetor on the VAZ 21099 will increase the air flow, enable the engine to breathe, increase its power and dynamic characteristics.

In case of flashing the settings of the VAZ 21099 injector, you need to buy and install a special unit - the controller. This device is a carrier of software that will increase power, torque and dynamics. So, the tuning of the VAZ 21099 injector engine is simply carried out.

Useful advice

Research has shown that you shouldn't chase expensive devices, they are not very effective and are often inferior in terms of power gain and dynamics to controllers with standard programs.

From all of the above, we can conclude that the chip tuning of the VAZ 21099 engine does not give an impressive increase technical characteristics power unit... Therefore, you should not spend money on this operation.

With regard to direct intervention in the VAZ 21099 engine systems, then they are not necessary. The family of these motors turned out to be surprisingly successful for the designers. They're in standard equipment have good dynamic performance and are fast enough for the highway and urban conditions. You can save on this, but if the car is planning to participate in sports competitions, then the following operations will not interfere:

• Replacing standard valve guides with bronze
• Installation of lightweight valves
• Engine intake and exhaust system modernization - installation of advanced manifold modifications
• Turbocharging the engine. At the same time, do not forget about installing a valve to relieve excessive pressure and turbocharged pistons with a "puddle" of volume from 16.5 to 20 cm3
• To increase the service life of units and moving parts of the engine, a crankcase gas trap should be installed. It will get rid of destructive carbon deposits on the surface of spare parts

The implementation of all of the above actions will be a useful school for those who want to explore all the versatility of tuning with their own hands.

Do-it-yourself tuning of the VAZ 21099 suspension is carried out according to the standard scheme:

• Installation of rigid shock absorbers. It is better to use a two-section version of them.
• Installing new brake discs and hubs
• Replacing the cross stabilizers
• Replacing native hinges with spherical
• Carrying out a suspension lift by installing advanced versions of the springs. You can also raise the rear of the car using the pads for the standard springs

More attention should be paid to disks and rubber. Many experts claim that light alloys are much more reliable and practical than their iron counterparts. This is only partially true. The main advantage alloy wheels is light weight. But this figure does not give a significant advantage in terms of handling and dynamics. At the same time, light alloys are less practical than iron discs.

Under an impressive load, for example, when they fall into a pit, they most often burst and need expensive repairs using argon welding. While the iron discs can be adjusted in place with a hammer and continue driving. For extreme off-road and snowy roads alloy wheels in practicality they are inferior to their steel counterparts. Therefore, it is recommended to have both sets of discs and install them depending on road and weather conditions.

Tuning the interior of the VAZ 21099 is an important stage in the transformation of the car into an exclusive sample. It can be divided into 2 stages:

• Installation of new or modernization of the standard front seats. For example, you can bring heating to them, and the seats themselves can be covered with fabric or leather. At the same time, buying covers will become a simple, but impractical solution for large-scale tuning.
• Replacement of the interior trim. It is not difficult to do this, it is enough to remove the old one and fit the interior with a new one. You can do the trim yourself or buy a ready-made kit. Not bad design solution will install on side panels doors shaped inserts made of carbon fiber, fiberglass, wood, high-quality plastic or chrome elements

Do-it-yourself tuning of a VAZ 21099 salon is a creative process that requires precision and patience.

The angular VAZ 21099 torpedo, which squeaks disgustingly, needs to be replaced, even if a complete modernization of the car is not planned. An excellent alternative to the standard model will be an advanced, streamlined version from foreign cars. The owner will only have to install it by modifying the configuration and mounting system.

By replacing the torpedo, you can immediately tune the VAZ 21099 instrument panel, since the standard unit is unlikely to fit a new torpedo and will have to be refined. Easier and better to install a new one dashboard, the main thing is that it fits the connectors.

One of the fundamental points of tuning the VAZ 21099 is the improvement of the bumpers. Recycling them radically changes the appearance of the car. There are several ways to upgrade bumpers:

• Installing a bumper from another model or buying a sports, tuning version specifically for the VAZ 21099
• Manufacturing of an exclusive model using construction foam, epoxy resin, grinding materials. The complexity of this method is the derivation of symmetry, the creation of proportions. It also requires creativity.
• The easiest way to improve is the bumper cover VAZ 21099. But they are more of a decor element and are used to create a complete, harmonious composition

The smooth, flat hood of the Ninety-ninth offers ample opportunities for modernization. Using a metal-cutting tool - a grinder, welding and putty from a standard hood, you can make a sample worthy of a Batmobile with gills and air intakes. The tinsmith's skills allow the hood to be configured in a variety of ways. In extreme cases, it can be pasted over with a carbon film.

Useful advice

When upgrading the hood, you should first draw what you want to get, then transfer your plan in the form of markings to the surface of the lid engine compartment... It is imperative to check the markings several times and only after that you can start improving the hood.

Modernization luggage compartment depends solely on the skills of the car owner and his imagination. There are at least several dozen options for completing the luggage compartment. The most popular is the installation of a powerful speaker system. Also, a small LCD panel is often mounted on the inside of the boot lid. Some people install it on a mechanism that pops the monitor when the trunk lid is opened.

It should be remembered that such modifications take up almost all the space, so you will have to sacrifice the ability to load things or a tool in the trunk.

Another way to improve the luggage compartment, more precisely, its lid can be considered the installation of a wing - spoiler. In addition to being aesthetic, it has a practical function - it creates downforce on high speeds... It is necessary to choose a model that will harmoniously fit into the exterior of the car. An awkward model can spoil all efforts aimed at creating an exclusive, stylish car design.

Optics tuning on the VAZ 21099 is mainly carried out by installing specialized overlays on the headlights. Effective and simple means decorating is setting LED strips... A practical option would be to install halogen headlights. On the VAZ 21099, the refinement of standard optical devices is most often carried out. Replacing them with new models is a laborious process, without which you can easily do with improvised means.

Tuning rear lights on the VAZ 21099 it is carried out according to the same scheme as the modernization of the headlights.
