The VAZ 2110 can be considered an excellent example of an attempt to catch up with the Western auto industry by auto designers from Tolyatti.
However, very quickly the car became outdated, and in order to bring it closer to the level of cars produced in the West, all that remains is to do your own tuning.
But it is worth noting that it will take quite a lot of effort and time, not to mention a solid portion of patience, because when comparing tuning a VAZ 2110 with a 2107, it will take much less money to modify the latter yourself, since this car has already become a kind of tuning classic.
Engine and transmission tuning
Engine tuning must begin with improving the engine’s “breathing”, that is, you must first provide the engine with sufficient air flow.
If you replace such a simple part as an air filter, the engine power will increase by 8%.
Immediately after replacing the old filter, you need to dismantle the entire throttle assembly, which will provide the necessary volume of air for the formation of the fuel mixture.
Of course, you will have to spend money on purchasing an intake receiver, but for this you need to make a choice - more power will be needed at low speeds, or maybe it is necessary for the car to feel more confident at higher speeds?
It must be said that replacing the camshaft and exhaust receiver should only be done in a professional service center, where special conditions have been arranged, since carrying out such work yourself can ultimately cost you much more.
Naturally, such a modification will require replacing the intake system. For example, you can install a 4-2-1 manifold, designed so that the gases are first drained into 2 pipes, and then connected into one common one.
Chip tuning will also not be superfluous
Having started tuning the VAZ 2110, you will also have to modify the transmission. For example, having a sixth gear won't hurt at all (although it's quite difficult to install).
How to choose tuning for VAZ-2111
To simplify the task of the owner of a VAZ-2111, we suggest studying some rules that will allow you to update your car quickly and beautifully:
Pay attention to the details of the car, especially the body, which immediately catch your eye. The front and rear bumpers definitely need to be replaced. How to do it? First, visit a store that sells auto parts. You can replace the air intake mounted by default - instead of the boring part, install a stylish branded version; a sporty model is more suitable for a guy. Use your imagination and buy the best suspensions for your iron horse, don’t go cheap - inexpensive models cannot boast of good dynamism and streamlined shapes. Add tinted deflectors
They will allow you to further stylize the VAZ-2111 and provide the necessary comfort to the driver and passengers. Many beginners do not know that a properly selected deflector can redirect air in the right direction, as well as improve ventilation in the car interior; road dust and small stones will not get inside the vehicle. Appreciate the color of the body as if from the outside. What would you like to add? It is not necessary to radically change the color of the vehicle, you can at least change the hue, add saturation or, conversely, blur, it all depends on the wishes of the car owner. Contrast will provide depth. It wouldn't hurt to install a camera in the cabin that shows the picture from behind. This camera adds an unusual charm to the VAZ-2111, and in case of an accident the camera will become an indispensable assistant.
Suspension tuning
When tuning the suspension with your own hands, it is important to replace the factory shock absorbers from the VAZ 2110 with single-tube sports ones.
After all, sports shock absorbers will increase the rigidity of the entire suspension, and also allow you to easily adjust the degree of compression and rebound.
In order for the car to behave optimally both on the highway and on a country road, you can reduce the ground clearance, so you need to use shortened springs.
If hard shock absorbers have been installed, it is necessary to install adjustable struts that have two springs (a soft one and a stiffer one).
One will reduce vibrations on sharp turns, and the other on a country road
When tuning the suspension, it is important to remember about the stability of the car on various roads. To increase the stability of the “ten,” it is necessary to widen the vehicle’s track and adjust the wheel alignment.
To increase the track, you will have to install special stands in the hub. In addition to all this, it is recommended to replace the rubberized parts of the bushings and silent blocks with polyurethane ones, which improves the rigidity of the body.
Having done this suspension tuning, you will find a practically new car, obedient on any road.
Do-it-yourself tuning VAZ 2111 photo and video examples
VAZ 2111, created on the basis of the popular sedan VAZ 2110 #8212, is a front-wheel drive station wagon, which has become widespread mainly due to its practicality. Buyers of such a car are primarily concerned with its performance characteristics, and not its appearance, so a Lada 111 in tuning is a rather rare sight. All the better for the owners of the 11th model, because their efforts to modernize the car will not go unnoticed.
The technical side of tuning the VAZ 2111 has been worked out quite well, because in this matter you can fully use the modernization techniques of the same “tens”. You can easily select suspension parts to reduce or increase ground clearance, buy everything you need to increase engine power, improve the exhaust system, etc.
Not everything is so simple with changing the appearance of the car, however, the range of industrially produced aerodynamic kits for this station wagon includes about ten options. In addition, you can add the desired touches to the appearance of the car by purchasing individual parts. You can try on individual tuning elements or ready-made kits for your car using programs specializing in virtual 3D tuning.
To facilitate your creative process and direct your thoughts in a creative direction, we have created a selection of photographs with examples of VAZ 2111 tuning posted on the Internet (see below the article). Obviously, you can decorate a station wagon with your own hands using a lot of factory-made and home-made attachments, replace standard optics with modernized ones, organize an additional lighting system and implement many other original solutions.
The first and mandatory step to improving the appearance of a car with your own hands is to tint the windows and install cast or forged wheels. Replacing the usual “stamping” not only makes the car look modern and aesthetic, but is also useful for the chassis, especially if the latter is also modified or even larger wheels are simply installed than the original ones.
The large trunk of the eleventh model is a real find for lovers of high-quality sound. Even a very large subwoofer can easily fit here, causing the envy of owners of smaller interiors. There will also be room for payload.
Tuning the interior of the VAZ 2110
Tuning the interior of the “tens” means, first of all, focusing on high-quality sound insulation and interior finishing (as a rule, two-color velor to match the body color is used).
Passenger seats must be reupholstered, because the factory fabric will quickly wear out.
To do this, you will have to remove the factory seats - this will allow you to quickly plan the relative position of the material fragments.
In order to cut out the fragments correctly, it is important to apply each piece of standard upholstery to new fabric and trace it along the contour.
When reupholstering, you can’t do without foam reinforcement - it’s best to use material 4-5 millimeters thick
The cut out seat parts are glued to the foam rubber using spray adhesive.
Upholstering the seat with leather will not be cheap, but it will last quite a long time. By the way, it is recommended to periodically carry out cosmetic repairs of such seats - this way you will avoid its visual deterioration.
Optics
Recently, more and more motorists have begun to install so-called alternative headlights on the VAZ-2112. Tuning with the help of such optics, unlike the first case with a bumper, does not deprive your car of cross-country ability, and besides, it significantly increases the range of the lamps.
Alternative headlights for the VAZ 2112 are quite popular tuning. Now in stores there are alternative illumination for both rear brake lights and headlights. The assortment is sometimes amazing - car owners have the opportunity to choose optics for every taste and budget. Tuning a VAZ-2112 with the help of alternative headlights will significantly improve the appearance of your car, without depriving it of other positive qualities. The exterior will be further enhanced by a new radiator grille. As can be seen in the previous photo, the aluminum honeycomb grille looks very harmonious against the general background of the exterior. Also, for greater air supply to the engine compartment, so-called gills are made in the center of the hood. They will not only prevent possible engine overheating, but will also make your car look serious, sporty and aggressive.
Design and Exterior
The VAZ-2112 coupe was created on the basis of the popular and well-known VAZ-2112 model, which has established itself as a powerful and dynamic car of domestic production. The automaker's designers claim that the technical component of the car has absorbed all the advantages of previous models.
Compared to the prototype, the VAZ-2112 coupe has a more severe and dynamic character. The main difference between the body is the presence of three rather than five doors. It was this nuance that influenced some of the features of the car and became decisive for the changes made to the body design. The leather trim of the VAZ-2112 coupe interior and elegant, stylish side lines gave the car design respectability and originality.
The updated design has become more rapid and elegant. The spoiler installed on the VAZ-2112 coupe gave the car a sporty look, which was missing in the base model.
The doors became heavier and acquired cast hinges. The changes made to the design affected the dimensions of the car: the overall width and door openings increased significantly, which appealed to car enthusiasts with an impressive build.
Door trim
Replacing it is one of the first improvements that comes to the mind of a zealous owner who decides to tune the interior. This upholstery, as a rule, leaves much to be desired: it looks quite poor. And changing it is as easy as shelling pears. You just need to unscrew a few self-tapping screws that grip the planes. Then the handles are removed (first the latch is pulled out - be careful not to break it!). After the panel is removed, the lock button is unscrewed.
The binder is pryed off with a screwdriver or something sharp and detached from the frame (you need to unfasten the 8 plastic clips). In place of the factory one, you can put higher quality and colorful trim, pre-selected and suitable for the size of the doors (there are a lot of offers on the market). It is attached in the reverse order of removal.
Local noise insulation:
Owners of tens often complain about excessive noise when driving, which is clearly felt in the cabin.
Therefore, at the stage after dismantling the interior trim, it would not be superfluous to soundproof the body. There are two types of noise insulation: systemic and local. For local isolation from noise, you need to look at all screwed and fastened elements, tightening them as securely as possible to prevent rattling when moving and running the car engine. We cover the plastic at the joints with special self-adhesive. If necessary, you can secure the plastic parts with an additional screw.
