The VAZ 21099 car has been out of production for a long time. Nevertheless, the car is still in demand on the secondary market today. Moreover, many owners want to emphasize the individuality of their car, distinguishing it from many others like it. For this, various tuning methods are used, which will be discussed below.
- Chassis tuning
Replacing shock absorbers - Replacing shock absorber struts
- Installing disc brakes
- Installing the rear spoiler

Experts' opinion
Alexei.
It is recommended to carry out work to change the interior in stages. This is due to the fact that with such an approach, from implementing simple to complex ideas, you can gradually make the car completely different. However, you need to take into account that you need to take into account the sequence of work: first we replace what is below, and then what is installed on top of it. Victor
When changing the interior of a vehicle, it is quite important to initially create an action plan that will contain all the stages. This is due to the fact that with this approach it is possible to eliminate the possibility of redoing work already done
For example, if the interior is insulated, then it must be done first, and along the way, replace the dismantled interior elements: the front dashboard, trim elements, and so on.
What can you say about “Nine”
Tuning a VAZ 21099 with your own hands
Despite its age, the “Nine” still remains one of the most popular cars in the vastness of our country. This is explained by the fact that, at a low cost, it is quite simple and unpretentious. This model was developed by the Volzhsky Automobile Plant in collaboration with the world famous German concern Porsche, which had a very positive effect on its characteristics.

For such cars, tuning allows you to remove all the shortcomings that are typical of some products of the domestic automobile industry, and emphasize or add something useful.
The airbrushing mentioned above also looks very impressive - the main thing here is that the sense of taste is at the level of your imagination.

Alloy wheels are not only a means to improve the exterior of a car, but also an opportunity to provide a more comfortable ride. Such discs can be chrome-plated, nickel-plated or beautifully painted.
And just as in the previous case, you can think about installing an aerodynamic body kit made of plastic, polystyrene foam or polyurethane foam. Here, start from your own imagination, but do not forget about the performance characteristics.
On a VAZ 2109 car, you can change the door opening mechanism, which looks very impressive and unusual among domestic brands.

Experts say that it is somewhat difficult to trick the front optics - here you can limit yourself to installing “eyelashes” or angel eyes. However, on the VAZ 2109, tuning the headlights can be done simply by installing alternative optics. Today on sale you can find a wide selection of interesting options with which you can tune the VAZ 2109.

And the rear lights are completely subject to change - on the VAZ 2109 this kind of tuning is very common.
Tuning car interiors VAZ 2109
There are possible options that differ from the usual ideas about taillights, as we see in the photo below.

On VAZ 2109 cars, interior tuning looks the same as on other models - you can try to do something interesting with the front panel and instrument panel.
Also pay attention to how the interior colors are selected - as a rule, this is a combination of two colors that combine well with each other. If you are installing a music system, part of the acoustics can be hidden in the trunk - in the video below we see an example of such an arrangement
If you are installing a music system, part of the acoustics can be hidden in the trunk - in the video below we see an example of such an arrangement.
On VAZ 2109 cars, tuning has a huge number of options - your ideas will largely depend on your imagination, as well as the amount of effort and finances that you are willing to spend for this.
A high-quality exhaust system will eliminate many problems.
It's no secret that the body of the VAZ 21099 model is mounted on elastic supports made of metal and rubber. This design is designed to provide durable and high-quality insulation of the body from vibrations and vibrations of the engine. But if we talk about the exhaust system, it is rigidly connected to the engine, and therefore fully experiences all the dynamic load. In addition to these vibration effects, exhaust pipes are also affected by internal stresses associated with periods of heating and cooling that follow each other in an unpredictable combination. In addition to all this, gases press on the exhaust pipe from the inside, and from the outside it can be damaged by stones and other road obstacles.
Thus, when tuning a VAZ 21099, it is recommended to use a corrugated pipe to the exhaust system, which will reduce the harmfulness of vibrations. And you can get such a bellows-type metal compensator at any auto parts store. As a result of such actions, you will forget for a long time about the sound of the muffler on the bottom, and will also save the exhaust pipe from unexpected perforations.
It must be said that in order to perform high-quality internal and external tuning of the VAZ 21099, the ability to handle an electric welding machine is required. If you don’t have one, you can use high-temperature sealant or a tube of cold welding, complemented by a pair of clamps. The fact is that you will need to cut off a piece of the exhaust pipe with a grinder, and then weld a bellows compensator bought in a store to the resulting gap.
Engine
Engine for a VAZ 2109 car: characteristics, repair and tuning
Without modifying the power unit, tuning the VAZ 2109 is absolutely unthinkable. In this case, it is recommended to contact a certified service station.
Serious engine rework involves a whole range of actions. Usually the goal is one of 2 results:
- Getting a return of 98 hp. With. and acceleration to 183 km/h;
- Sports option.
Getting a return of 98 hp. With. and acceleration to 183 km/h
To do this, the following parts are installed:
- lightweight connecting rods 121 mm;
- lightweight crankshaft with a piston stroke of 78 mm;
- forged pistons (diameter 82.5 mm);
- lightweight piston rings;
- 11.3mm camshaft;
- Cylinder head from Lada Kalina.
Sports option
In this case, lightweight components are installed: flywheel, crankshaft, pistons and connecting rods. In addition, installation of oil nozzles, a new gearbox, clutch, copper radiator, contactless ignition system, and a sports muffler will be required.
In addition, VAZ 2109 engines are often bored to increase volume, and an upgraded generator and thermostat are installed. The injection system offers several methods:
- installation of a new Solex carburetor;
- installation of 2 carburetors;
- conversion of the carburetor power system into an injection system.
The last option is quite expensive and labor-intensive, so not everyone implements it.
Chip tuning has also not been canceled. However, under the hood of the VAZ 2109 there is an atmospheric engine, from which, in principle, it is impossible to achieve a serious increase in power. But it is quite possible to make the engine less voracious and more flexible, but only with a competent tuner.
The most radical solution is to install a turbine and intercooler, which implies large and serious modifications.
Classification of ongoing improvements
How to connect a new instrument panel to the Lada Priora and Kalina
Before carrying out work, attention should be paid to the classification of modifications
It is conditional, but it determines what results should be achieved. Carry out interior tuning to solve the following problems:
- To increase the comfort of being in the car while driving. This group includes work that is related to improving insulation, heating systems, installing new seats, and so on. Note that the insulation of the car interior, which is done at the factory, is very ineffective. Therefore, even with the installation of additional equipment, it is practically impossible to increase comfort in a car in which strong hum and noise while driving is a constant phenomenon.
- Achieving an attractive, aesthetic appearance. The interior design of the car in question is, roughly speaking, unattractive: straight lines, square shapes, terrible quality of the materials used, and so on. In order to make the cabin pleasant and comfortable, modernization should be carried out aimed at changing the design. An example is the installation of new panels, seats, instrument panel and other elements.
Sidebar: Important: Almost all work that involves changing the interior of a vehicle can be done independently. In most cases, you do not need to have special tools with you - as a rule, a standard driver’s kit is quite enough
Why is the revision being carried out?
Many people wonder what is wrong with the carburetor, why many decide to modify it. There are quite a few different ways to change this design. Most often, modification consists of smoothing the inner surface in order to reduce resistance. The methods used to cast the body and many other elements are the reason why the internal surface has a large number of angles and irregularities.
Sidebar: Important: The additional resistance that occurs when air moves causes the power to decrease and the driving performance of the vehicle to deteriorate.
Appearance tuning
The appearance of the VAZ 21099 is very far from ideal. Therefore, car owners have been trying to improve it for as long as this car has existed.
Installing the rear spoiler
This is the first thing that the owner of a VAZ 21099 thinks about. The spoiler is installed on the trunk of the car. Its influence on the aerodynamic qualities of the body is minimal, and this part serves solely to improve the appearance of the car.
There are many spoilers available on the market in a variety of materials, from steel and carbon fiber to polyurethane foam. The choice here is limited only by the thickness of the car owner’s wallet. Some drivers prefer to make spoilers themselves. But the quality of such homemade products often leaves much to be desired.
Replacing rims
Initially, the VAZ 21099 is equipped with steel wheels, which have a number of disadvantages. Firstly, they are quite heavy, which affects both the inertia and controllability of the car. Secondly, their appearance is not beautiful.
Therefore, drivers prefer to replace steel wheels with alloy wheels. They are light and beautiful. And their main drawback is increased fragility. Where the steel disc bends, the light alloy disc will crack, after which it can only be thrown away.
Tuning rear view mirrors
Most often, additional protective plastic covers are mounted on standard rear-view mirrors. In some cases, they are repainted to match the color of the car. You can purchase them at any specialized car tuning store. A mirror with such an overlay and the car body look like a single whole.
The second option is also possible: installing side mirrors from other, more modern VAZ models. Typically, drivers prefer to install adjustable mirrors from Granta or Vesta.
Bumpers, wheel arches and sills
Specialized stores today sell body kits for almost any car, and the VAZ 21099 is no exception. Thresholds, wheel arches, rear and front bumpers can be sold individually or in sets. The most popular manufacturers are ATT, AVR, ZESTLINE. The cost of a bumper from these manufacturers starts from 4 thousand rubles.
Chassis tuning
During this procedure, changes are made to a variety of components and assemblies. Let's list them.
Replacing shock absorbers
The standard shock absorbers on the VAZ 21099 have never been highly efficient. Therefore, modernization of the chassis always begins with their replacement.
Gas-filled tube shock absorbers with spacer rod for improved handling and ride height control
Instead of “native” hydraulic ones, drivers install gas-filled shock absorbers (based on one or two pipes). This action allows you to increase the stability of the car and halve its braking distance. In addition, almost all gas-filled shock absorbers now have the ability to be adjusted, which allows the driver to either increase ground clearance or, conversely, “lower” the car.
Replacing shock absorber struts
Shock absorber struts are another design element of the VAZ 21099, the reliability of which raises many questions. They can travel 100 thousand km, but after that problems inevitably arise. Therefore, car owners replace them with products from Plaza, Protec, Koni, etc. Fans of extreme driving, in addition to the racks, install spacer bars, which make the suspension stiffer, but at the same time increase the car’s handling.
Installing disc brakes
Today, almost all leading automakers install disc brakes on all wheels of their cars. They are considered the most effective.

However, the VAZ 21099 is an old car, so its rear wheels are equipped with drum brakes. Domestic car owners solve this problem by installing disc brakes on the rear wheels from the front wheels of the VAZ 2109 or VAZ 2110. They are fully compatible with the VAZ 21099 and do not require any additional modification.
How to increase comfort in the VAZ 21099 interior?
When considering how you can increase the comfort of staying in a car, we note the following points:
1. It all starts with insulation improvements. The vehicle in question has ineffective standard insulation. This moment determines that the car is cold in winter, hot in summer, the interior takes a long time to heat up, and a constant hum is heard when driving. The situation can be changed by insulating the body. You can do this work yourself using available tools and special materials. However, some materials can be found at very low prices. Note that any major tuning is not complete without changing the interior of the vehicle
Therefore, we recommend that you pay attention to this method of increasing the comfort of staying in a car and examine the issue in more detail.
2. In addition, do not forget about the constant squeaking and crickets, which make long-distance movement almost unbearable. It is worth considering that even high-quality insulation does not solve the problem, since it does not come from the outside, but from the inside. Unreliable fastening of panels, cheap plastic and many other reasons lead to the problem. This can be solved by sealing the voids, for example, with the same insulating material, and checking all connections. Over time, the bolts and screws become loose and the fastening weakens, which leads to noise and squeaking.
3. In order to make the car comfortable in winter, a new stove is installed, which will heat the interior faster than the standard one. The new stove is installed quite simply, the main thing is to connect it correctly. However, in some cases, it is possible to increase the degree of heating of the car interior only after improving the cooling system, since the supplied air is heated by the liquid that cools the engine.
4. A fairly popular way to increase comfort in a vehicle interior is to install high-quality acoustics. At the same time, such a modification can be fully appreciated only with high-quality insulation of the body. Despite the fact that such tuning is carried out quite often, only a few perform it well. There are quite a few problems with connecting acoustics. To begin with, you should remember that truly high-quality sound can only be achieved by placing several speakers around the perimeter of the body. This way you can achieve a surround sound effect.

The next point that it is recommended to pay attention to is the seats. Just a few years ago, tuning consisted only of using new covers
However, the seats of modern cars are significantly different from those installed on the VAZ. We are talking about supports: lateral, lumbar, and so on. There are tuning kits that allow you to replace seats with minimal changes to the vehicle interior. They are created specifically for a specific car, which simplifies the installation process.
6. Also, comfort for the driver can be increased by installing backlighting on the front dashboard buttons, an additional element for controlling the main systems, for example, music. Recently, almost all cars have been equipped with steering wheels with buttons that allow you to make certain settings without being distracted from the road. Such a modification is quite difficult to implement, but quite feasible.
7. Don’t forget about the various pockets, drawers, and compartments that can be used to store necessary things. For example, we can mention that quite often a special holder for a mobile phone is glued to the windshield. It significantly reduces the view from the driver's seat, which can cause an accident. The problem can be solved by creating a special place to mount a mobile phone. The most attractive modification would be the creation of such a place with the possibility of simultaneous recharging.
As you can see from the list above, there are quite a lot of ways to implement the task of increasing the comfort of staying inside a car. Some are simple and inexpensive to implement, while others require more expensive interventions.
Installation of a multimedia system and other elements
With the spread of touch screens, they have become quite often used in the production of multimedia systems that are installed in cars. Of course, you can purchase a GPS navigator that will be mounted on top of the panel. But still, this design option is impractical, as it takes up a lot of free space and impairs visibility.
If desired, you can implement a multimedia system into the torpedo. For this:
1. Select a multimedia system. 2. Find out its exact dimensions. 3. We mark the area on the dashboard. 4. We cut out the plastic. 5. Install the multimedia system. 6. Connect the system. 7. We carry out decoration.
In the same way, you can install control units for additional functions, for example, self-installed fog lights or interior lighting. In order to significantly simplify the work, you can buy a disassembled control panel from another car, also mark the location on the dashboard and cut out a place to install the panel.
In general, we can say that it is possible to modify a factory torpedo almost beyond recognition.
Tuning the VAZ 21099 engine
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 carry out simple actions aimed at improving the fuel supply system through a mechanical unit - a carburetor:
- Installing an advanced modification of the throttle body or diffuser. It is advisable to install samples with larger markings than standard ones
- Removing the spring from the throttle valve actuator in the primary chamber
Such tuning of the carburetor on the VAZ 21099 will increase the air flow, allow the engine to breathe, increase its power and dynamic characteristics.
In case of reflashing the VAZ 21099 injector settings, you need to buy and install a special unit - a controller. This device carries software that will increase power, torque and dynamics. So, tuning the VAZ 21099 engine with an injector is simply carried out.
Helpful advice
Conducted studies show that you should not chase expensive devices; they are ineffective and are often inferior in terms of power and dynamics to controllers with standard programs.
From all of the above, we can conclude that chip tuning of the VAZ 21099 engine does not provide an impressive increase in the technical characteristics of the power unit. Therefore, you should not waste money on this operation.
Regarding direct intervention in the VAZ 21099 engine systems, there is no need for them. The designers turned out to be surprisingly successful with the family of these engines. As standard, they have good dynamic performance and are fast enough for the highway and urban conditions. You can save money on this, but if you plan to participate in sports competitions, the following operations will not interfere:
- Replacing standard valve guides with bronze ones
- Installation of lightweight valves
- Modernization of the engine intake and exhaust systems - installation of advanced modifications of the manifolds
- Turbocharged engine. At the same time, do not forget about installing a valve to relieve excess pressure and turbocharged pistons with a “puddle” volume of 16.5 to 20 cm3
- To increase the service life of units and moving parts of the engine, a crankcase gas catcher should be installed. It will eliminate destructive carbon deposits on the surface of spare parts.
Carrying out all of the above actions will be a useful school for those who want to learn the versatility of tuning with their own hands.
The pinnacle of mastery should be body tuning
To rid the body of its inherent “chisel” simplicity, it is necessary to give it a futuristic appearance. It is on this basis that there is enormous scope for imagination, as a result of which a lot of masterpieces of automotive exteriors are born.
Tuning the hood consists of equipping the car with spotlights, doors without keyholes, body kits and trims, as well as ventilation openings and upgraded bumpers. If we give all this a matte color, then the car will appear before us in the form of a real “guest from the future.”
Skilled car enthusiasts are constantly coming up with more and more new body kit options, thanks to which the car becomes one and only. But the most important thing in this whole process is that you did it yourself - without the help of eminent specialists from expensive salons.
Well, now you know how to do tuning yourself: feel free to get down to business and start improving your car!
Modernization of the VAZ 21099 engine
Tuning a VAZ 21099 with your own hands should start with the engine. The ideal option is to install an injector. Here it is better to simply purchase a ready-made version and install it yourself. Fortunately, at flea markets you can now easily buy assembled engines, and not necessarily made by VAZ. Motors from the same Fiat, for example, are quite easily installed in the engine compartment.
What will such car tuning give? Firstly, fuel economy, and secondly, more uniform wear of power unit parts. And then you can start installing the on-board computer. Despite the fact that the manufacturer does not provide such equipment, there are a lot of options for upgrading electronics. For example, on the Lada 21099 it is quite possible to install automatic equipment from the “ten”, and thanks to the open software for the on-board computer, it can be reflashed without any problems, “making friends” with the new car.
And this, in turn, provides another opportunity to carry out a unique modernization - chip tuning, which involves making adjustments to the operation of the engine without mechanical changes. At home, doing this is not so difficult, having only a cable for connecting to the on-board computer (the so-called “patch”), a laptop or computer with a free COM port. Before performing chip tuning of the VAZ 21099 with your own hands, you should create a backup copy of the native firmware. If something goes wrong, you can return everything to its place and try to make adjustments again. The main thing is that it is absolutely free and does not require any investment.
You can also reconfigure the carburetor with the engine. This option is ideal for those cases if you plan to upgrade the “factory” engine, without electronics. The last tuning method is to artificially increase the volume of the combustion chamber, which also entails increased fuel consumption. But at the same time, the engine power increases dramatically, as does the heat generated during driving. That is, you will have to take care of increasing the volume of the radiator.
Visual tuning of the “ninety-nine”
Tuning the interior is generally very simple, since many domestic companies produce entire series of body elements for cars, which differ from those proposed by the manufacturer.
To save money, you should start by installing a spoiler (wing), thresholds (skirt), and decorative elements such as air intakes (they do not necessarily have to actually perform their stated function). The hood, doors, wings - this will already be a second-order tuning for 99 (if you have enough money).
Replacing factory optics also plays an important role in modernizing the body. There are a lot of options offered by component manufacturers. Naturally, if you do the tuning yourself, you need to pay attention only to those headlights that will fit into the housing of the old headlights. Or you can do it even simpler - just replace the lighting elements (with halogen ones, for example).
Many people still do exhaust pipe tuning. There are several options here:
- installation of a wider exhaust;
- adding a second pipe (you can even “false”);
- installation of a “knob” with a widened mouth, which will give a more “aggressive” sound of the engine.
The last option is the cheapest and most accessible. And after all this, you can also replace the hood and paint the car (using rubber paint or aqua print).
Tuning the interior of a VAZ 21099 with your own hands is not difficult.
You should start with replacing the seats (both front and rear) and, if financially possible, also tackle the upholstery and rework the dashboard.
We should not forget about sound insulation by installing special “pillows” in absolutely all cracks. It will not be possible to modernize the interior of the VAZ 21099 with your own hands and at home.
Transmission
Tuning a VAZ 21099 with your own hands at home cannot be called complete if you have not changed the behavior of the car by upgrading the gearbox of a domestic sedan. It is enough to replace the traditional row of shafts, after which the acceleration dynamics will improve due to a change in the gear ratio. In practice this will appear as smoother movements. If the gear ratios are selected correctly, the load on the motor can also be reduced. Such manipulations will result in a 7% increase in fuel consumption. In addition to the shafts, you will also have to replace the driven gear of the box and the secondary shaft. You should not take full responsibility if you have not previously had experience in carrying out such work. It is better to carry out the replacement under the supervision of a person who is more knowledgeable in this matter.
Conclusion. It is possible and necessary
Of course, the VAZ-21099 will not become a Mercedes even after the most serious and expensive tuning. However, you can significantly improve the performance and convenience of this car with your own hands, and without spending mind-boggling amounts of money. Therefore, the decision to carry out tuning is very justified. You just need to decide on the improvement strategy, choose the most suitable options by looking at VAZ 21099 tuning photos on the Internet or in thematic magazines, and calculate all expenses in advance so as not to go too far beyond the budget.
Bumper tuning for VAZ 21099
One of the fundamental points of tuning the VAZ 21099 is improving 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 purchasing a sports, tuning version specifically for the VAZ 21099
- Manufacturing an exclusive model using construction foam, epoxy resin, and grinding materials. The complexity of this method is the derivation of symmetry and the creation of proportions. It also requires creativity
- The easiest way to modify it is with bumper covers for the VAZ 21099. But they are more of a decorative element and are used to create a complete, harmonious composition
Tuning the lighting system
First of all, drivers change the standard incandescent lamps in their headlights to LED ones, since they last at least 5 years and consume less energy. In addition, LED lamps turn on faster and are very ergonomic. Some go even further and install not LED, but xenon lamps.
Xenon lamps are high power, so they are often dimmed
But you need to be careful with them: the light flux is very powerful. You can easily blind oncoming drivers. Therefore, fans of xenon lamps often darken the optics in the headlights with a special tinting varnish sprayed from a can. The main requirement for this composition is that it must be resistant to high temperatures.
Instrument panel tuning
There are two types of them - pointer and electronic.
Most leave much to be desired. There are a huge number of options for modernizing them. There are 3 options for the original panels of the VAZ 2109: low, high and euro. As practice shows, all of them are unsuitable for effective tuning. You can put electronics there (speakers, on-board computer). In principle, the low panel does not provide space for an on-board computer, but there is a global tuning element underneath it - a solid profile top trim. The interior design is being transformed very successfully.
Quartz watches in black plastic significantly increase the level of internal comfort. It is easy to install. If the work is done conscientiously, then nothing will rattle or rattle. In addition, there will be an additional box next to the passenger. But there is one difficulty: before installation it is necessary to dismantle the instrument panel trim. At the same time, one of the well-known inconveniences of the low panel of the “nines” is eliminated: the gap above the instrument panel no longer glares onto the windshield, and while driving there is no need to cover the source of glare with fabric.
Setting up the carburetor on a VAZ-2109
Design and adjustment of the OZONE VAZ 2107 carburetor
Both partial adjustment and complete adjustment of the carburetor on the VAZ-2109 can be done quite simply. If these steps are performed correctly enough, then there is a high probability that most of the above problems will be eliminated.
By the way, you can adjust or tune the carburetor on this car yourself. This is necessary in order to save significant money that will be required to perform this action at the service center. It is much more convenient to carry out this work independently if you have an assistant next to you. In this way, you will also be able to save wasted time.
Before you begin adjusting the carburetor, you need to prepare. To do this you should:
- ensure a constant flow of fresh air in the room where the carburetor will be adjusted or adjusted;
- place the car in a horizontal position;
- prepare rags that do not leave lint behind;
- get a flat-head screwdriver;
- Prepare cleaning products. In the worst case scenario, it could be gasoline. But it is best to use compressed air.
Salon
The modern driver strives for the maximum level of comfort while driving, but this model is disappointing with its gray interior and lack of acceptable ergonomics. Tuning will correct the situation, but the results obtained directly depend on how clearly you have imagined your action plan:
- Soundproofing should be a priority. If you are focusing on minimal costs, treating the bottom will be enough.
- The steering wheel of the VAZ 21099 rarely causes negative emotions, since it is optimal in thickness and shape. It is enough to replace the braid and at this stage move on to more important aspects.
- The standard torpedo is slightly angular, but one could live with this if it did not creak. Choose a suitable streamlined version from a foreign car, modify the fastening system and configuration.
- After replacing the dashboard, you are unlikely to be able to say with confidence that it matches the dashboard. Replacing this element is a labor-intensive and financially expensive task, but this measure is fully justified.
- It is better to immediately replace factory seats with more orthopedic options from the foreign automobile industry. This stage is already considered classic.
Tuning the suspension of VAZ 21099
Do-it-yourself tuning of the VAZ 21099 suspension is carried out according to the standard scheme:
- Installation of hard shock absorbers. It is better to use a two-section variety
- Installation of new brake discs and hub
- Replacing transverse stabilizers
- Replacing original hinges with spherical ones
- Carrying out suspension lifting by installing advanced versions of springs. You can also raise the rear of the car using shims for the standard springs
More attention should be paid to wheels and tires. Many experts argue that light alloys are much more reliable and practical than their iron counterparts. This is only partially true. The main advantage of alloy wheels is their low weight. But this indicator does not provide a significant advantage in terms of handling and dynamics. At the same time, light alloys are less practical than iron wheels.
When subjected to an impressive load, for example, when falling into a hole, they most often burst and require expensive repairs using argon welding. While iron discs can be straightened on the spot with a hammer and continue moving. In extreme off-road conditions and snowy roads, alloy wheels are inferior in practicality to their steel counterparts. Therefore, it is recommended to have both sets of rims and install them depending on road and weather conditions.
We change the interior design beyond recognition
If the above changes can only be appreciated by those who constantly drive a car, then those discussed below will immediately catch the eye - we are talking about changes in interior design.
As previously noted, by modern standards the interior design of the car in question looks truly historical. That is why we will consider the following methods for improving it from a design point of view:
A fairly common modification is changing the instrument panel. You can do this work yourself, and at minimal cost. Changes, as a rule, consist of creating a new backlight and changing the design of the scale. Recently, a method that involves installing a new panel, which is made specifically for tuning a domestic car, has become very popular. The choice is quite large, the price cannot be called high. A more complex improvement to the vehicle can be called changing the front torpedo. To do this, you can use a unit from another car or upgrade an already installed one. In this way, you can almost completely change the design of the car interior. Installing a new steering wheel from another car will also significantly change the interior design. It is worth noting that the factory-installed steering wheel is extremely inconvenient to use. Therefore, the method under consideration will not only change the interior design, but will also increase the comfort of driving. Significantly changes the interior design and lighting. An example is the installation of lighting on door handles and important elements of the control panel. When driving at night, such lighting will create an interesting effect; you can also make the lighting react to the level of illumination and change its brightness - it all depends on what budget is allocated for changing the interior and what skills the person who will carry out the work has. Various panels, trim and other trim elements also change
Their installation is simple; it is quite difficult to find panels that will be installed on the car without any problems. You should also pay attention to the little things that can be replaced enough, and the result will be very attractive. Examples include door handles, gear shift levers, and so on.
If you wish, you can make the salon truly unrecognizable.
