It is difficult to find a car enthusiast who would be happy with everything in his car. There is always something that needs to be adjusted, altered, adjusted to your requirements. A competent approach to tuning will help make your car unique, will allow you to get real pleasure from the trip.

Salon tuning

Engine tuning

Changing the engine can be done without increasing its volume. It is only required to increase the cylinder diameters to 76 mm, while the stroke must be reduced to 66 mm. The standard center-to-center distance, laid down by the designers of the car, allows you to change the capacity of the engine tank. You can add top camshaft.

Stove tuning

Improving the stove is aimed at improving the air supply, that is, the operation of the fan. It is worth replacing the "native" fan motor with a more powerful one. This will increase the amount of air supplied. The downside is more noisy operation, but the heat transfer will increase significantly.

Heating system

Over time, the following problems arise with heating the VAZ 2101: loud fan operation, radiator leakage, loose fit of the air intake cover. The first thing to do is to grease all the connections of the heater with the air duct with sealant. You can replace the fan motor with a similar one with a rolling bearing.

Dashboard

An elegant look and ease of use will be added by installing a backlight from LED lamps. You can put a new lining, picking it up to the color of the upholstery. Some even install a torpedo from foreign cars.

3D tuning VAZ 2101

This type of tuning provides a unique opportunity to do everything you dreamed of with your car. By installing a special program, or working online, you can "try on" spoilers, bumpers, moldings, headlights, etc. on cars. The purpose of such a "fitting" is to see how it all looks before it is installed. Do-it-yourself real tuning of the VAZ 2101 is not cheap, so the result should live up to expectations. The convenient interface of 3D tuning programs will allow you to comprehensively approach the choice of parts.

suspension tuning

If engine modifications have been made, then the standard suspension should also be modified, otherwise the car will roll a lot when cornering. In order to lower the suspension slightly, it is necessary to use shortened stiffer springs. It is recommended to replace rubber bushings with polyurethane bushings: they are more reliable and durable. You can install a dual stabilizer, which will reduce the speed of the car's response to steering and speed up the response of the suspension to road irregularities.

Headlights

Headlights can be upgraded by painting the backing or mask. In addition, you can tint the headlights, install LED strips. Some change the color of the standard backlight. Popular with drivers are angel eyes headlights. They represent led strip built into the car headlights. Such illumination is used both at night and during the day. The car with it looks more stylish and modern. The color scheme is very diverse.

External tuning

The overall appearance of the car is greatly influenced by wheels, the choice of which is currently huge. They are stamped, cast and forged. The latter are ideal for our roads: strong, light and inexpensive. More interesting design alloy wheels are different. You should only pay attention to the rubber profile: it should be taken higher, because this will soften the blows to the rim and suspension.

You can give your car an unusual look by applying automatic window tinting, which can be done using electric tinting and installing a double-glazed window with tinted glass. The difficulty lies in the fact that it will be necessary to make some changes to the glass lifting mechanism, and such a pleasure is expensive.

Carburetor tuning

To improve performance, it is necessary to convert the throttle valve drive from vacuum to mechanical. This will enable the car to accelerate faster and more evenly. The diffuser of the primary chamber must be taken bigger size. In order to high speed the engine had enough air and fuel, it is necessary to install a second carburetor. This improves both torque and power.

Trunk tuning Kopeyka

Refinement of the trunk of the VAZ 2101 will make it more functional and practical. To fix objects, you can add a mesh by attaching it with Velcro or hooks. In addition, a partition can be made in the trunk, which will not allow the cargo to hang out. Some owners are installing raised floors and adding LED lighting. A spoiler can be placed on the trunk lid.

Radiator grille

Quite stylish looks simple at first glance, the grille for the entire length of the front of the car. When choosing a new grill, you should pay attention to the size of the cells. On the "native" they are quite large and poorly protect against debris and fluff.

Rear and front bumper

To make the car look more aggressive, sporty, you can choose a voluminous bumper, which, moreover, will improve the aerodynamic properties of the car.

Every car owner wants his car to be stylish and unique. For the interior of the VAZ 2101, a certain skill and investment is required.
In the beginning, the seats should be replaced or the upholstery should be changed. similar to racing, but have the usual backrest adjustment. They provide excellent safety and comfort to the driver.

The more comfortable the driver sits, the better he concentrates on the ride. However, the fixed fit and tight-fitting 4-point harness may not be very comfortable for everyone.

Velor, flock or suede will help to sheathe the interior. Although these materials will last less than leather. Another material that is convenient for sheathing, and not very expensive, but wear-resistant, is carpet. It stretches quite well, has a wide variety of colors.

A well-chosen color and material will give a stylish look. Contrasting colors such as black and red are most commonly used.

Installation of additional sound insulation

And also when tuning the interior of the VAZ 2101, the installation is important. This requires the use of materials such as bombs, vibroplast and modelin. Why bother with soundproofing? But it is precisely due to the absence of unnecessary noise that the comfort of the car is largely determined.

LED lights

You have to worry about lighting. Most commonly used. Standard bulbs are being replaced with LEDs. You can also install additional lights. For example, in the glove box. There are many additional devices, such as bi-xenon. As well as various interior lighting, bottoms, wheel arches.

Dashboard tuning

Next, you need to replace or just change appearance and. To do this, the old panel is removed, and in its place either a new one is installed or upholstered special material or skin. Then the car will look very stylish. The material is carefully glued onto dashboard, cut out holes for appliances. When the material is fixed, you need to remove all unnecessary elements.

You can replace the stereo, install on-board computer. And also replace the standard seat belts. Install the metal pedals. If you want the greatest comfort, then you can install a new steering wheel.

VAZ-2101 "Lada" - one of the most beloved Soviet cars, which has recently begun to acquire a cult symbol. Now this is not a car for those who have no money, but a toy that needs to be taken care of. And if so, then you can try to do something special and individual, taking the “penny” as a basis. Let's look at the most interesting tuning projects created on the basis of the VAZ-2101.

VAZ-2101 WRX STi

How to make a "penny" bring down 5 seconds to a hundred? Need to build it on a Subaru chassis Impreza WRX STi. During the most difficult operation to cross the Japanese and Soviet base Subaru was reduced by 13 cm, and the width of the VAZ-2101 increased by 15 cm.

The car's engine produces 280 hp, which is more than enough for the light weight of the modified "penny". And do not forget that now the car has an all-wheel drive transmission. The salon was also completely redone using instruments from ... a KamAZ truck!

VAZ-2101 with turbo engine VAZ-21126

In Ukraine, they made an excellent VAZ-2101 with a 16-valve engine 21126, supplemented by a TD04HL turbine. The suspension has been improved, which received KYB shock absorbers and springs, as well as brake system(four-piston Brembo calipers).

The steering rack was borrowed from the Mercedes-Benz E320 (so now it’s a “penny” with power steering), 16-inch alloy wheels were installed, lens optics were installed and the body was painted in bright orange.

Replica Fiat 124 based on VAZ-2101

When you get it from your grandfather interesting car why not make it even more original? The owner of this instance decided to turn the car into a replica of the Fiat 124, which, as you know, became the prototype of the first model of the Volga Automobile Plant.

A huge amount of time and money was spent looking for original parts, which were ordered mainly in Italy. By car, almost all interior and exterior parts were replaced with original Italian ones - headlights, repeaters, caps, handles, glasses, linings, nameplates, caps, plates, even an Italian radio tape recorder of those years was installed. Read more about it.

VAZ-2101 MME OFF ROAD

You can go the completely opposite way and turn the VAZ-2101 into an off-road monster on huge wheels and with a custom lift suspension. Throw in a turbocharged 1.6-liter powertrain that puts out 300 hp and you'll see how much fun it can be.

The project is still under construction. The work is carried out by the Moscow studio MME Garage. The body has already been significantly redrawn, completely changing the shape of the wheel arches. Cool made exhaust pipes located between the rear lights.

VAZ-2101 BADVAZ for drifting

If the car has rear drive, so you can make a drift car out of it. Perhaps somehow the owner of this instance reasoned like that. He equipped it with a 1.6-liter engine from Lada Priora with a modified cylinder head, turbocharging and new shafts.

The front suspension has been modified using elements from the BMW E30 and H&R parts. Well, judging by the photographs, this "penny" pretty well knocks sideways!

VAZ-2101 Brilliant Green

How to turn an ordinary VAZ-2101 into a very stylish resto project? Ask Vitaliy from the city of Lviv, who was able to do a colossal job in 3 years. The car received a lowered suspension, a lot of details from the early Zhiguli.

Of the non-standard, one can note the original front grille, a lip under the bumper and a set of old-school four-spoke rims. Inside, you can find a steering wheel from a Fiat 124 Spyder, and a rare export instrument panel with an early torpedo.

VAZ-2101 with a wide body kit

This project started out as a typical overnight drift cramp. But at some point, everything changed, and improvements began to be taken much more seriously. The place under the hood was taken by a 1.7-liter power unit, and the body received a set of aggressive overlays.

The salon was installed from an old BMW, the suspensions were finalized, and a custom exhaust was installed. All this made this project quite interesting both externally and from a technical point of view.

VAZ-2101 with a trailer

This "penny" lives in Latvia. We are interested in it not so much in itself, but because of the fact that the owner made a trailer for her from half of another VAZ-2101. The body of the car was sawn in half in the area of ​​​​the central pillar, and a “drawbar” was welded into the bottom.

The front of the trailer was covered with a solid sheet of metal, and the body itself was painted in the same color as the car. The final touch was wheel disks same design and a funny sticker on the front of the trailer.

VAZ-2101 Penny

VAZ-2101 Turbo Carrot

Installing a turbo engine is the best thing a VAZ-2101 owner can do. This is what the owner of this car did, completely sorting out the engine. Now its return is about 400 hp.

Drift VAZ-21013

The car changed several engines. At the moment, under the hood is a 1.5-liter turbo engine with 289 hp. In combination with a racing body kit and special coloring, the project looks simply amazing.

Every year, handy Japanese craftsmen take this tuned penny to different cities - after all, such a car from the USSR is very rare in Japan. .

VAZ-2101 with a wide body from Lithuania

Something made from a "penny"

Apparently, the owner of this car could not decide which car he likes more: Moskvich-401 or VAZ-2101. So he decided to merge them together, creating a rather ugly but funny car.

There is information that it took 8 years to build! That is, someone has been creating this madness for eight years, which cannot even be called beautiful! You can see a few more photos.

Drag bridge from Latvia

The car was prepared by TRT-Shop masters for professional participation in drag racing competitions. The stock engine was replaced with one from a Ford Mustang SVT Cobra and fitted with a pair of Holset HX-40 turbos.

Tuning 2101 do it yourself. Salon

Interior upgrade is a separate and, perhaps, the most interesting topic. The first and most important thing is the refinement of the instrument panel, the installation of a remote tachometer, and a complete change of door trim and ceiling.

When you start such an upgrade, a lot of questions arise and the answers to them are not immediately found. Which of them are the most common?

• Question about adjusting brightness
• How to increase the sensitivity of diodes

The only adjustment option is experimenting with different kinds of circuits. The same can be said about the diode sensitivity options. Try, analyze.

To avoid misunderstandings with the traffic police, you need to consult with them in advance. Find out what they think about the strength of a particular LED. In truth, there are no strict prohibitions and there weren’t, but it won’t hurt to show respect for law enforcement officers and once again show healthy curiosity.

After you have installed the front and rear optics on the VAZ 2101, you must systematically monitor its condition. LEDs often burn out and close, and therefore they need to be timely replacement. This action will guarantee the correct appearance cars. The new strong light of the "penny" will surely impress both you and those around you at night, when it can show in all its glory.

Upgrade "penny". Installation of a double stabilizer

Question: why do you need a stabilizer? Answer: it increases the stability of the car when cornering, and simplifies the process of driving the car.
So, we make the necessary purchases:

• Front stabilizer VAZ 2101;
• Four stabilizer links from the 10th model;
• Several pillows of the stabilizer bar;
• Cleaner and anti-corrosion compound.

Now we make fasteners for the first stabilizer. We remove the bushings from the racks, cut the racks using an angular grinder. Then we weld the rings and return the rubber bushings to their original place.
