Lada Kalina 2 station wagon: tuning of the body, interior and engine

DIY tuning of Lada Kalina 2 station wagon

The first Lada Kalina station wagon was released quite a long time ago, and its design is already significantly outdated.
Therefore, the engineers decided to carry out some external and internal improvements. After the work done, the Lada Kalina 2 was released, in an updated station wagon. But, despite the modifications carried out, many owners of this car carry out individual tuning.
Let's look at how exactly in this article.

review with photos and videos

Every car owner, no matter how much he loves his iron horse, periodically thinks about what modifications could improve it. A smoother and more confident ride, external gloss, excellent visibility, a powerful engine and reliable brakes, excellent acoustics - every motorist dreams of all this. And if all this can be done with your own hands, then such an “update” has no price at all. In this article we will try to touch on all the subtleties of what tuning is most often performed by owners of the Lada Kalina 2 station wagon.

What types of tuning are most common for the Lada Kalina 2 station wagon?

When deciding to do tuning with your own hands, a rare driver relies solely on the desire to create something with his own hands; most often he expects to save time and money in this way, which means that we are not talking about complete tuning, but only about partial improvement of the car.

At the moment, it is believed that the Lada Kalina 2 station wagon is the most popular passenger car in the Russian Federation. Before you start upgrading this car, we recommend that you look at the photos and video reviews that are available in large quantities on thematic websites. But first, decide on the part of the car that needs to be updated.

Types of tunings

Initially, tuning was used to improve the speed characteristics of cars. But time does not stand still, and this procedure affected all elements and components of the machine. There are two types of tuning:

1. Technical - one of the types where the body structure, engine, suspension are changed, the gearbox and brake system are modernized. Such tuning will help your car become more stable on the road, increase power, and also increase speed and maneuverability. It is performed using special equipment. Unlike internal tuning, you don’t have to consider it, you just need to get behind the wheel and you will feel it while driving.

   

2. Interior - here the elements of the cabin are changed, it is carried out without any special equipment. This type is aimed at improving comfort inside the cabin for both the driver and passengers.

   

Car interior tuning

The purpose of this improvement is not only a sporty bias, but also improved comfort in the cabin. People who approach this thoroughly can transform the interior of their car beyond recognition, especially if it is a Lada Kalina. This type of tuning will not affect the speed of the car in any way, but will attract the attention of others. For the Lada Kalina, the most relevant thing is tuning the exterior - after all, it is the unpretentious appearance that is the weakest point of this car.

1. Interior trim. Active use of the machine leads to wear and tear of the seat material and the overall upholstery as a whole. Each owner chooses for himself and his budget how to change the appearance, what materials to cover the interior with - the difference is in price and quality.

   

2. Changing or replacing is the same as the original steering wheel. Such changes will affect the improvement of car control; you can also additionally install push-button controls on the steering wheel, which can control the car’s acoustic system. The steering wheel is heated. Car dealerships offer steering wheel covers with massage braiding; it looks stylish and, in addition, helps with blood supply to the hands, or covers made from high-quality expensive leather.

   

3. Car panel. You can modernize it, add LED lighting, which can decorate not only the instrument panel, but also serve as additional lighting on the ceiling or passenger doors. Replace dials.

   

4. Replacing pedals. There is a large selection of them, they differ in size, shape, and can be selected for each person and their parameters. Aluminum pedal covers are also sold, which improve the grip of the driver's foot on worn-out gas, brake and clutch pedals.

   

5. Installation of the acoustic system. Currently, such a variety of audio systems have appeared in stores and on the Internet, which can be supplemented with amplifiers, a subwoofer, or add speakers for surround and powerful sound. Every driver who loves driving fast does it to the accompaniment of high-quality music.

   

6. Installation of video monitors. Many drivers have adopted the installation of car video recorders, as well as control panel monitors, which have a lot of functions, ranging from a TV to a GPS navigator.

   

7. Interior noise insulation. The Lada Kalina station wagon does not have very good soundproofing ability. While the car is new and fresh from the showroom, this is not so noticeable, but over time, parts wear out and the car begins to make unpleasant sounds both inside and outside the cabin. To avoid this, the inside is covered with a special vibration-insulating material that absorbs noise, which even ensures high-quality sound for your acoustics.

   

External tuning

Creating a harmonious appearance of a tuned car is not an easy task. Any intervention in changing the body can entail danger, so the process must be approached seriously and without fanaticism. External tuning can be carried out on any type of body, be it a Lada Kalina station wagon, sedan or hatchback; with the correct formulation of the task, you can achieve good results in terms of power, speed and performance of your car. So, what changes can be made during external tuning:

• replacement, flashing and boosting of the engine;
• replacing the chassis, switching to high-profile tires, replacing wheels with cast, forged or combined ones;
• increase or decrease in clearance;
• replacing the suspension with a stiffer one for better traction;
• tinting of windows, headlights and direction indicators to emphasize the seriousness of the car;
• body painting, you can turn a boring color into a spectacular car;
• adding body kits: spoilers, air intakes, thresholds, replacing bumpers, which will significantly improve the car’s handling;
• replacement of optics, installation of LED optics for brake lights, basic dimensions, as well as xenon lamps for front optics;
• adding accessories such as muffler tip, radiator grille, mirrors, etc.

Installing an additional device - a cold intake - will increase power and reduce fuel consumption.

Mechanical tuning

This type includes tuning of the transmission, engine, brakes and suspension. Using this type, not only does the car improve due to new capabilities, but its power also increases, which is what such tuning was originally aimed at.

Advantages of mechanical tuning:

• optimization of motor operation;
• improved handling at high speeds;
• increase in engine power;
• reduction in fuel consumption.

Many Lada Kalina owners dream of a radical transformation of their car, and sometimes this leads to amazing results. So don’t be afraid to experiment and use your imagination.

How to change the appearance of a car

The easiest way to tune the appearance of the Lada Kalina Cross is to use accessories , which are sold in large quantities in car stores. They are easy to install on Kalina Cross yourself.

Among them are various designs:

• bumpers;
• hoods;
• air intakes;
• thresholds;
• linings for both front and rear bumpers;
• spoilers;
• wheel arch extensions, etc.

The use of lensed optics will not be superfluous. To complete the image of the new Kalina Cross, replacing the factory wheels with original alloy wheels, which will emphasize the aerodynamic lines of the body, will help.

Interior tuning

Tuning the interior of the Lada Kalina Cross, as a rule, begins with replacing noise and sound insulation. This is all the more important if you plan to install high-quality sound radio equipment.

When updating the interior, experienced specialists advise using:

• non-standard pedal covers;
• original gear shift knobs;
• instrument panel lighting enriched with color accents.

The comfort of the driver and passengers will also be improved by replacing the standard seats with sports seats. Of course, the number of seats in the back will decrease, but the interior will become more comfortable.

Designers from specialized tuning studios can also replace the interior trim, using high-quality materials (plastic, fabric, leather) for its finishing. Often the color unity of the body and interior does not leave the proper aesthetic impression. And here professionals can have their say.

Replacing the standard steering wheel with a sports steering wheel gives the interior a sporty look. It will significantly improve the driving comfort of the Kalina Cross and the aesthetic perception of the interior. At the same time, the sports steering wheel fits optimally into the overall style of the Lada Kalina Cross car.

If the owner of Kalina Cross is accustomed to luxury, then you can equip the interior with inserts in the color of, for example, mahogany. By replacing the plastic upholstery with fabric upholstery the color of old wine and complementing it with gilded fittings and a fragrance with the smell of expensive cognac and smoking sandalwood, you can satisfy any requirements of any, the most demanding and capricious customer.

Engine chip tuning

Chip tuning of the power unit is one of the ways to optimize the operation of the Lada Kalina Cross engine. At the same time, there is an opportunity, meeting the customer’s wishes, to improve the dynamic characteristics of the engine or reduce fuel consumption. Currently, special devices are used for this, which, when connected to the on-board computer, allow you to change engine operating modes depending on customer requirements.

Regardless of the customer’s wishes, properly performed engine tuning using such devices allows you to:

1. Increase torque and power characteristics by 20.25%.
2. Optimize the dynamics of acceleration and movement of Kalina Cross.
3. Ensure optimal engine operation in various climatic conditions.
4. Improve the elasticity of engine operation.

Technical tuning of components

When making a decision on technical tuning of Lada Kalina Cross components, you need to weigh everything carefully. As a rule, the operation of components under conditions of maximum loads leads to their rapid failure, so such work should be trusted only to experienced specialists who are capable of not only performing such work, but also guaranteeing long-term operation of the tuning components.

In general, technical tuning is subjected to:

• power plant;
• pendant;
• transmission;
• braking system.

By completing the entire tuning complex associated with improving the technical characteristics of the Lada Kalina Cross, instead of a standard factory car, you can get a powerful car that will surprise others with its capabilities. However, tuning requires a lot of time and financial investment.

INTERIOR TUNING

Car owners also make a lot of changes to the Kalina’s interior.

Replacement of upholstery.

The standard interior trim in Kalina is a combination of plastic inserts and leatherette.
Many tuning enthusiasts remove the tabs and replace them with leatherette. Connoisseurs of comfort also get rid of leatherette, replacing it with velor or carpet. These materials can transform the interior, but they cannot be called durable.
Genuine leather is also used for finishing.
But this option is only available to very wealthy drivers, so it is extremely rare.

When a car undergoes deep tuning, it rarely happens without replacing the standard seats with sports ones. They are more suitable for the aggressive driving style for which the car is being prepared. Anatomical Kalina-Sport seats with high headrests and back support are in great demand. The cost of one such seat is from 7 thousand rubles.

Dashboard and steering wheel trim.

To add individuality to the dashboard, Kalina owners usually use vinyl film.
Film painted to look like carbon is in particular demand. It looks very stylish on the dashboard. But there is also a minus - after 5 years, even the highest quality vinyl film becomes unusable.
As for the steering braid, you can purchase it at any specialized store. The range of braids is now very wide.

Additional interior lighting.

For illumination, various LED strips are used, connected to the vehicle’s on-board network. The cost of one such tape is from 400 rubles. Most often, additional lighting is installed on the floor of the car. Its purpose is not only aesthetic, but also practical: if the driver drops some small item on the floor of the cabin, it will not be difficult to find it. Drivers also illuminate the door handles inside the cabin using the same diode strips. This is a relatively new direction in tuning, which is quickly gaining popularity.

The standard headlights on Kalina are equipped with optics from BOSCH, and they work well. Here's what those who still want to change something in the lighting system do:

replacement of optics in headlights. To replace the “native” optics, optical kits with white xenon illumination are installed, which are freely sold in almost all spare parts stores. But when installing such a kit, the driver must remember: he does this at his own peril and risk. These headlights produce a very powerful luminous flux that can blind oncoming drivers. And the traffic police officers really don’t like this. This is why many car owners slightly dim the backlight using special sprays;

Dashboard

The torpedo has a great influence on the interior of the entire cabin. And if we compare the tidy of the Kalina with the classic Zhiguli models, then the Togliatti engineers have stepped far forward, but they are still very far from ideal. To produce torpedoes, the factory uses very low quality plastic. This negatively affected the performance of the instrument panel. The colors fade over time, the plastic itself becomes covered with small cracks, and the entire torpedo begins to make unpleasant sounds when moving. You can improve the appearance of the dashboard and get rid of extraneous sounds yourself, for this you need:

1. Disassemble the torpedo and glue all the places where the plastic comes into contact with metal, foam rubber or other insulating material.
2. If necessary, secure all electrical wiring harnesses with plastic clamps.
3. Secure the air ducts that direct the flow from the heater.
4. Replace all plastic fasteners with new ones.
5. You can also make changes to the color scheme of the torpedo along the way by covering it with a special film. If the hands grow from the right place, this procedure is not difficult to perform on your own.
6. Installing a “Grant” central tunnel with cup holders will significantly improve the appearance and add more practicality. The tunnel has a different color from the original instrument panel, this can be corrected by covering it with vinyl film. There are also no holes for the electronic mirror adjustment unit. They will need to be made separately or find another place for installation.
7. By installing an armrest between the front seats, you will significantly reduce fatigue from driving a car over long distances. The armrest is also an additional niche for various small items.

Mechanical tuning

In this situation, the car will consume only 5-6 liters of fuel per 100 km along the highway. In addition, it is possible to adjust the operation of the gas engine using the on-board computer (as always, the concern uses common firmware on its cars).

Quite good results can be achieved using chip tuning (on gasoline). This is an upgrade of the firmware, which is responsible for the operation of the motor (the amount of supplied air and the moment of opening/closing of the valves increases).

The main thing is that it is performed without any intervention in the mechanics of the vehicle. That is, it is the computer settings that change, nothing more. But it must be borne in mind that such a modification can only be performed on a fully operational vehicle.

Let's pay attention to tuning the Kalina Universal with your own hands. https://www.youtube.com/embed/woHK_zhI2sA

If a person has financial limitations, but wants to get the “maximum” out of his car, then he can install a supercharger.

This will not be very expensive, but will significantly increase the permissible engine power. In addition, the Lada engine has a very good performance reserve.

There are combinations when a more productive generator is installed in the VAZ-1117. However, such a modification will only be required if the car owner plans to install a considerable amount of additional equipment (electrical).

By default, the “station” is designed for a maximum load of 175 W, but this will not be enough, for example, when using a refrigerator and air conditioner at the same time. Accordingly, you should install a generator with at least 300 W, but when it operates at full power, the amount of fuel consumed also increases (by 15-20%).

But tuning the Lada Kalina-2 Universal in terms of mechanics will not be so effective. Here, right from the factory, engineers have provided a large number of improvements both in the operation of the engine and the chassis (transmission).

How to tune a Lada Kalina Cross car

The updated Kalina of the Cross model received improved off-road characteristics in the form of increased ground clearance and large-diameter tires. But it is not suitable for real off-road use. On dry dirt roads, the Kalina is capable of moving at a fairly decent speed (without much discomfort for the driver and his passengers). But it cannot overcome complex off-road obstacles due to its lack of all-wheel drive and low-range gears. “Kalin” with all-wheel drive is not currently produced, and it is not advisable to install it yourself, since when you add up the cost of the car and the amount of money spent on introducing all-wheel drive, you get the amount for which it is possible to purchase a factory SUV that has all-wheel drive right off the assembly line. But you can make a number of changes that will have a positive impact on the performance of the car.

Before choosing Lada accessories, you should decide what exactly needs to be changed in the car:

1. Appearance. External tuning of the VAZ allows the Russian car to stand out from the crowd of monotonous and boring vehicles. A big advantage is the affordable cost of spare parts for changing the design of Lada Kalina 1117-1119. Activities such as installing spoilers, halogen headlights and decorative trims, and lowering the suspension are popular. The car takes on a sporty and slightly aggressive look.
2. Decoration and/or equipment of the salon. Internal tuning of the Lada can be done using a sports steering wheel (or a new braid on the steering wheel), armrests, window curtains, covers and seats. To make your trips not only convenient and comfortable, but also not boring, you can purchase audio and video systems for the cabin.

Some types of VAZ tuning accessories can not only improve the design of the car, but also protect the car from negative external influences. So, by installing curtains on the windows in the cabin, you will not only change the image of the car, but also protect the interior from fading in the sun.

Kalina exterior tuning

When tuning the appearance, the owner of a universal model has much more freedom in choosing solutions and taking actions to implement them. Here you can replace almost any of the body components. In this aspect, the plant also meets fans of modernization halfway and produces modified body panels and linings, although not of the best quality. Also, the market space in this segment is represented by a wide variety of companies specializing in the production of accessories for external tuning.

So, during the work, when modifications are being made with one’s own hands on the exterior of the station wagon, the owner can replace or use the following components:

• front: bumper and radiator grille;
• there are sills on the sides;
• change the wheels into fashionable alloy wheels;
• install lighting on the bottom (special platforms are provided for regular installation);
• install deflectors, which include not only real components, but also imitators, although they also allow the car to acquire an individual appearance.

You should also pay due attention to lighting. The manufacturer offers, along with halogen lamps, the purchase and installation of LED analogues. There are cars equipped with “spotlights”, but their operation is not permitted on Russian territory.

External tuning of the Lada Kalina station wagon in the second generation is almost identical to the list of activities implemented on the first generation of the model. Here the manufacturer also made it possible to replace the standard exhaust pipe.

The entire remaining list of tuning activities concerns transformations in the mechanical part of the station wagon, including the engine and suspension.

Protecting the body from dirt

We have already discussed the method of installing plastic lockers. Actually, by protecting the rear arches from dirt, the tuning can be completed. But some owners don’t stop there, continuing to improve the standard design by replacing mudguards. We are, of course, talking about front mudguards, which should stop dirt flying out from under the drive wheels. The standard rubber “barriers” mounted on the body of the “second Kalina” have a smaller area than was typical for cars of the first family. However, using mudguards of a larger area than those provided by the factory is not a solution to all problems. If you do this, dirt will begin to accumulate on the rubber surface, which will need to be cleaned very often.

Mudguards Kalina-1 and Kalina-2, comparison

If these arguments do not frighten you, read on. We look at how the “second Kalina” is being finalized today:

• It will be easy to install front mudguards from Lada Grants, produced by Petroplast. They are attached with 4 self-tapping screws. In theory, you can agree with the dealer to have the specified part installed immediately (upon purchase). And retail prices for Petroplast mudguards are the highest;
• The mount on the universal Elegant mudguards coincides with the VAZ mount at three points. The fourth screw will have to be screwed in by drilling a new hole, or try to hook onto the front locker. Here we were talking about the Elegant N1 model, available from spare parts sellers;
• On the universal mudguard “SRTC” the mount fits perfectly, but with the design everything is a little worse... However, the tuning option in question has already been implemented by many;
• Ultimately, you can use larger mudguards inherited from the “first Kalina”, but here you will have to work with a cutter (see photo above).

Conclusion: now you can buy either something universal, or, but at an inflated price (if not through a car dealer). Decide for yourself which is better. In addition to the four listed, there are probably other suitable options. We are waiting for your feedback about them in the comments to the review.

Tuning the mechanics of the Lada Kalina

Owners pay significant attention to Kalina's universal suspension, which is caused by the desire to achieve a higher degree of comfort while driving. As a rule, transformations involve replacing the following chassis elements:

• shock absorbers along with support bearings and springs;
• levers for more reinforced analogues;
• installation of additional braces between body cups;
• installation of rear transverse stabilizer, etc.

In order to achieve savings in fuel consumption, you can install LPG. Such a do-it-yourself modification will allow you to ensure a minimum consumption of 5-6 liters on the highway for every 100 km of distance traveled. The complex of modern gas equipment has the ability to regulate the functioning of the motor using an on-board computer.

Let's sum it up

Do-it-yourself modification of the domestic LADA Kalina station wagon in any of its manifestations, as expected, brings enviable “fruits”, this can be assessed from the photo. For some types of transformations, the manufacturer has prepared a “base” in advance so that it is not too difficult for the owner to implement this or that modernization plan. If there is no limitation in financial resources, then you can resort to comprehensive tuning, when not only the body or interior, but also the mechanical component of the car and its electronic equipment are subject to modifications.

Before you begin work on upgrading your machine, you need to have an idea of ​​the end result of your creativity. And even taking into account the fact that creativity is a little predictable process, you still need to outline directions for movement. What specific tasks will your car be configured for: off-road, drift, rally, or a cozy car for daily use. The chosen direction will determine where we need to start and where we should ultimately arrive. For the Lada Kalina 2 hatchback, there is no point in doing tuning and modifications that require serious financial investments, since having a large amount of funds, it would be more expedient to purchase a car of a higher class, or of the same class, but with additional options installed. For a car like Kalina 2, tuning is best done using inexpensive materials and mostly with your own hands. Therefore, when choosing a direction for modernization, it is necessary to take into account your capabilities, both financial and technical. You should also keep in mind that tuning the Lada Kalina 2 is not a quick process, especially when you have to do most of the work yourself. Another important point that should be taken into account before upgrading your car is that you will not be able to cover all the costs invested in it by selling the car. If you are ready for this, you can start.

Tuning wheels and discs

If you seriously want to make a modern BMW out of your Lada 2, then you can resort to another tuning method - installing fashionable rims on the wheels. High-quality and beautiful wheels can be selected in any specialized store, depending on the wishes of the owner and financial capabilities. You should not rely on brightness or catchiness. It won't add any sophistication to your car. Colored wheels have never been in fashion, and extreme colors will only add additional cause for sarcasm to the Lada. Black and white are considered acceptable colors (depending on the color of the car itself).

Car interior tuning

Tuning the interior of the Kalina Universal (as well as its second modification) mostly consists of upgrading the sound insulation system. It should be noted that in this car it is significantly inferior to the same Priora (apparently due to missing linings behind the wheels).

However, other vehicle owners do not bother with sound, preferring to install a powerful speaker system. But this is another topic - everyone has their own priorities.

As for the skin itself, VAZ provided the best option. Most of the interior is upholstered in durable synthetics (at the same time cheap). The smell is excellent, and optionally it can be covered with leather, but this will cost almost 30 thousand rubles.

If the owner plans to do the tuning of the Kalina Universal with his own hands, then he can completely replace the dashboard. Fortunately, the manufacturer took care of this possibility and made it completely removable (moreover, combined).

Pasting with vinyl based film

The outer surface of the vinyl film can imitate carbon. This material is also offered in different colors. Each element subject to modification is first dismantled. In Kalina-2, this action is simple to perform: the linings snap off, and the door handles are attached with self-tapping screws. Each step of the work performed is shown in the photo:

By the way, no one says that you need to limit yourself in choosing colors. White carbon fiber in Kalina-2 also looks good, even if vinyl is actually used again:

The owners have already tried all the options shown above on their cars. But no one forbids trying to invent something new.

When working with vinyl, the workpiece is cut along the contour, leaving an allowance of up to 10-15 mm. After gluing, the surface sometimes has to be leveled, for which hot air is used. Use a regular household hair dryer.

Tuning

In general, Kalina Cross tuning represents the process of modifying a car to improve its performance characteristics. When doing this you can:

• improve factory (technical) characteristics, which include engine power and efficiency, improvement of suspension, etc.;
• change the appearance (exterior) and/or interior of the Kalina Cross. What a car might look like after styling can be seen in the video:

How to take up trunk space

In Kalina-2, as in most other hatchbacks and station wagons, the trunk and interior are separated by a removable shelf. This shelf can be dismantled, or you can use it to install speakers. True, then there will be little space left for the subwoofer, especially if we are talking about a hatchback:

Everything looks great in the station wagon, especially if the shelf has been removed:

The amplifier in both cases is mounted on the back of the rear seat. In fact, it is not recommended to do this - the cladding elements are not designed for significant loads.
