A beautiful car is the ultimate dream of any man. How nice it is when you are driving along the road in an expensive and sports car, and girls turn their attention to you. Any man in his life strives to accumulate as much financial resources as possible in order to buy himself a powerful, iron horse. The wind in the face and tremendous speed, that’s what excites a man’s blood.
Sometimes we inherit a car (for example, a VAZ 2101) and in order to keep it neat, the man constantly looks after it, changing worn out parts.
But what if you go further and, having saved a certain amount of money, tune your steel friend yourself? Moreover, on the Internet you can find a large number of photos of tuning a vase with your own hands.
Tuning
Tuning is a process in which a car receives more improved technical and aesthetic characteristics compared to factory production. Tuning improvements include:
- complete redesign of the car's appearance;
- improving technical characteristics by replacing parts;
- bringing car comfort to the highest level.
Tuning the hood of VAZ 2107
It is proposed to consider creating an individual shape of the hood cover using certain types of materials and simple tools.
- First, a foam mold is laid out on the existing lid. This is not a difficult task - foam plastic does not present any difficulties in use.
- Next, the foam is wrapped in aluminum foil; if necessary, aluminum tape is also used - this is necessary to prevent damage and deformation of the foam from exposure to the resin.
- The areas where the fiberglass and the hood come into contact are cleaned. If this point is ignored, the materials simply will not stick to each other. Only after this procedure is completed, glass fiber and resin are applied to the surface of the product.
- It takes time for the resin to harden, after which a thin layer of putty is applied to shape it. To avoid cracking, do not apply putty in a thick layer.
- To level the surface, excess putty must be removed: for this, an emery cloth is used.
- The hood is painted and the quality of its appearance is determined.
- Next is re-wrapping the surface of the part using fiberglass and subsequent treatment with resin. The process is repeated 4-5 times.
- Once the resin has finished curing, the created mold is detached from the old hood sample. The same process can be used to create the shape of the rear trunk lid.
- The surfaces are leveled, treated with putty, and prepared for painting.
- Before the painting procedure, the part must be tried on, defects eliminated, and gaps checked.
- To give the hood lid additional rigidity, aluminum strips are added to the inside.
- Paint is applied, time is waited, and the finished part is installed at the mounting points.
Soviet beast
VAZ 2101 and all subsequent models that were released in this car series are truly fighters of the old school.
For example, the now legendary “kopek” was first released in 1970, and the last car of this brand was rolled off the assembly line in 1988. That is why, even the most young car already requires some kind of tuning.
Where to begin?
To begin with, tuning a car can start with the appearance. External tuning of a VAZ can be made original and colorful. It is worth giving the car a bright color, applying various stickers that would show the owner’s character (for example, a jumping tiger or a bright fire), replacing the tires with more sporty ones, etc.
The new appearance will give the car additional advantages, and the person who gets behind the wheel of such a beauty will feel at the top of Olympus.
What is tuning
In the automotive industry, tuning means modifying a car in order to improve its characteristics.

Proper tuning will help breathe new life into an old “penny”. It is important: if you decide to start tuning a VAZ 2101, you will not be a pioneer in this matter - without exaggeration, entire generations have been improving the “penny” - which means that you will have at your disposal a lot of detailed instructions, stories of trial and error.
Tinting
One of the interesting elements that give a car a more important look is window tinting. This work is absolutely easy to do with your own hands. To do this you need to prepare:
- regular knife;
- hair dryer;
- spatula (preferably rubber);
- spray;
- soft cloth.
The tint coating is applied in several stages:
- stage number 1 – preparation of a soap solution;
- Stage No. 2 - take a soft rag and thoroughly soap the glass (carefully ensure that “foam clouds” do not form);
- Stage No. 3 – cut the film to size and carefully stick it on;
- Stage No. 4 – carefully smooth out the formed bubbles;
- Stage No. 5 – dry the tint coating.
To get the best results, it is better to remove the glass from the machine and carry out the work in a damp room, such as a bathtub. For a visual example, you can look at photos of self-tuning of glass on a VAZ on the Internet.

It is he who is the “heart of it” and technical tuning begins with the car. The motor withstands excellent heavy loads and a long service life. Using tuning, thanks to minor modifications and engine tuning, increases its power.
Engine with “two” six carburetors
Method one - finishing:
- grinding and adjustment of exhaust and intake manifolds;
- relief and weight adjustment of all pistons, connecting rods and crankshaft;
- engine ignition and power modification systems.
Tuning method - second carburetor:
- Remove the spring of the vacuum flap in the throttle drive of the primary chamber. Due to this, the dynamics of the “six” will increase, but at the same time, gasoline consumption will increase by 0.5 liters;
- We replace the vacuum throttle valve in the primary chamber with a mechanical drive. You can use the spring that we removed from the vacuum account. With this drive, the car will improve smoothly and the dynamics will accelerate. In this case, it is not the fuel consumption that will increase;
- replace the primary chamber with a diffuser marked 3.5 instead of 4.5. And at the same time, to speed it up, replace it with a larger pump sprayer (30 to 40). Fuel consumption will remain the same;
It should also be taken into account that tuning the VAZ 2106 engine can significantly change the behavior of the car on the road, and often damage safety.
Tuning suspension VAZ For
2106 sports driving, due to the softness of the six, it is not suitable. The same can be said about almost all VAZs, with the exception of the VAZ 2109, tuning of which also requires serious work on Thanks.
The suspension will be improved, the car will become a little stiffer and it can be lowered lower. This will all have a great effect on handling and maneuverability. What.
the car can be modified:
- go through the entire car suspension;
- install sports shock absorbers; gas-oil ones are best;
- use double last.
In the stabilizer version, you will need the help of qualified specialists; sufficient knowledge in engineering technology is required here.
Tuning the brake system on a VAZ After
2106 engine and suspension tuning we move on to the “six” brake system.
Process in stages:
- Replace the factory master cylinder with a larger one. This will allow the pressure to increase in the system;
- improving the front brakes. The best kit for this is a set from 2112 VAZ, which fits perfectly in place of the old front brakes;
- installation of a complete set of disc brakes.
This will require 2112 VAZ calipers, but tuning studios prefer to install 520142 ATE Power Disk. The latter have ellipsoidal surfaces of grooves and due to this they are called “Takaya”. The ventilated kit without modifying the hub is ideal for the VAZ 2106.
To replace rear brakes with modern disc brakes, it is better to contact a professional auto service center. To do this you will need machine equipment and special tools.
Tuning and modification of VAZ 2106 clutch
After the first three stages, we move on to finalizing the clutch of the VAZ 2106. This mechanism is designed for a smooth connection between the crankshaft and the transmission of the car during movement and gear shifting.
It is necessary to check the clutch pedal travel so that it does not exceed 120-130 mm; otherwise, adjustments will have to be made. But often the driven disc may require replacement due to poor clutch conditions, which negatively affects the smoothness and start of the VAZ 2106.
Gearbox for VAZ Zavodskaya
2106 “six” box is being converted to She. the sports one will differ from the classical one, in the gear ratios of the Sports one. In numbers, the box has longer lower gears and shorter higher gears. Gear ratios are selected depending on driving style.
In the gearbox, you will also need to replace the link with a short-throw one. In this case, the lever travel will decrease, and as a result, gears will shift faster.
Automatic gearboxes are practically not used for the VAZ 2106. But if you wish and have the financial capabilities, you can make any modernization to the car.
Changing the “eyes”
Car headlights are another external element that can be easily tuned. The headlights can be given a darkened color or their color can be changed altogether (for example, given a bluish tint).
One of the popular ideas that has caught on and will help make tuning a VAZ 2110 easy with your own hands is the idea of making headlights in the form of “angel eyes”.
To put this trick into practice, you need to take:
- pliers;
- hair dryer (preferably a construction hair dryer if available);
- file;
- transparent plastic rod;
- four 3.5 volt LEDs;
- insulating tape;
- 220 Ohm resistors;
- any object in the shape of a cylinder (preferably a regular can), but with a diameter smaller than the headlights.
Once all the building materials are at hand, work can begin. The work consists of several stages:
- take a plastic rod, give it the desired length and heat it until it softens;
- twist the rod around the jar, wait until it cools down;
- take a soldering iron and solder resistors to the LEDs. Wrap the fastening area with insulating tape;
- connect 2 LEDs together;
- to give a “radiant effect” on the outside, make small cuts around the entire circumference of the tube;
- place the LEDs in the tube and secure the ring with tape;
- Remove the glass from the headlights and install it inside.
