Do-it-yourself Renault tuning - interesting projects, mandatory modifications and interesting solutions for tuning the body, interior and engine (90 photos + video)

You can “finish” a car of almost any brand in many ways: from factory modification programs to independent tuning of Renault Logan with your own hands. It all depends on what part of the body your arms are attached to. But it's not only that.

Not all automakers want to give a piece of the pie to third-party tuning firms (and fine-tuning hundreds of thousands of Renault Logans is still a piece of cake!). And that’s why Renault is ready to offer various tuning options, especially with an official guarantee! These tasks are entrusted to a special department of RenaultSport, which supplies car dealerships with the most charged hatchbacks, in which there is simply nothing left to improve...

However, all this concerns Logan only partly. According to an employee of one of the Renault dealerships in St. Petersburg, no factory modifications are provided for this model, however, it is possible (with an official guarantee) to install additional equipment (parking sensors, alarms, audio systems), tint the car, or even apply airbrushing. Moreover, the latter is done by agreement with a third-party company, although it is covered by an official guarantee, like a paint coating.

What can be upgraded in Renault Logan

Before you start pumping up your iron horse yourself, you should find out as much information as possible that can help in some areas.

For example, when watching a video of Renault tuning with your own hands, you will be able to sketch out the stages of work in your mind, plus understand what can be replaced (not every part requires this).

So, Renault Logan tuning includes:

• Replacement of rear and front bumpers;
• Replacement of special thresholds;
• Installation of a new aerodynamic spoiler (serves to increase downforce at speeds exceeding 140 km;
• Replacing moldings;
• Installation of new muffler tips;
• Headlight upgrade (adding new light or functions);
• Reduced clearance by 4-7 cm;
• Installation of air collectors (necessary for cooling the engine compartment, front brake, improving ventilation of the front tires, etc.). Can be of various shapes and types;
• Replacement of side deflectors.

Another wiper problem

There is another complaint about Renault Logan windshield wipers. Structurally, they are created in such a way that the coverage area of ​​the passenger wiper does not reach the driver’s. As a result, a lot of water remains in the middle of the glass and flows down. Logan breeders call this phenomenon snot. On the road, this snot is annoying, forcing you to constantly turn on the wipers to brush away excess water.

There are several ways to overcome this problem. For example, you can buy brushes of non-standard sizes: 60 cm for the driver's side and 45 cm for the passenger side.

If you raise the parking position of the passenger wiper, you will also get rid of the snot or it will simply become too small.

To completely solve the problem, it is necessary to modify the trapezoid: bend or shorten it. The second method is more effective, but requires the use of a grinder and welding. In addition, the modification is time-consuming, but the problem disappears forever, and you will be able to install larger wipers on both sides, increasing the cleaning area of ​​​​the windshield.

Renault Logan – tuning (options and prices)

But still, in order to make this car a little prettier, you need to buy some external tuning parts (80-100 thousand rubles, if you buy all of the following):

• Alloy wheels - always in stock, have a wide range of models for Renault Logan;
• Xenon headlights are always in stock, since they are relevant today, the price and quality depend on the country of origin, you can purchase a set separately or pay for installation;
• “Eyelashes” for headlights – usually sold as a set;

• “Angel eyes” for Logan are universal;
• Tail lights – sold in several options, such as black, chrome or LED;
• Fog lights – sold as a set, car owners consider “Prosport” to be the best of them;
• Radiator grille - you can purchase black or chrome, for example, “Berkut”, and protective grilles of a more expensive design are also sold;
• Wind deflectors and a hood deflector are sold individually and as a set (some believe that they only damage the car);

• A spoiler can be purchased from any manufacturer, but the wait for delivery of more expensive ones will take at least a week;
• A body kit in the color of a car such as the domestic whale “Galant” or the German “Mattig” includes moldings, sills, front and rear bumpers, a muffler, “eyelashes”, a spoiler and two fog lights - other configurations can also be included, but painting in color will cost you will have to pay extra for the car body;

If you don’t have enough money for a whole body kit, you should think about purchasing some parts separately, for example, sills and trims for the front and rear bumpers. And ordering from Tolyatti will cost you less.

You can buy bi-xenon headlights and do the tuning yourself or pay for installation.

If you have long dreamed of turning your Logan into a beautiful sedan, but do not know which model to focus on when tuning, our reviews and test drives will help you. Perhaps the information from this article about what the owners want to change in a similar budget sedan Lada Grante will also help you.

Advantages and disadvantages of power units

Engine design K7J (manufacturer Automobile Dacia, Romania) 1.4 l/75 hp. inherited from fairly old Renault Corporation engines developed in the 80s (ExJ series) and therefore looks somewhat archaic: there is an unusual chain drive for the oil pump, used on units with lower camshafts, and ancient timing rocker arms.

The remaining solutions of the 1.4 engine are standard and no different from other four-stroke 4-cylinder single-shaft SOHC engines: in-line vertical cylinder arrangement, 2 valves per cylinder, timing belt drive, liquid cooling and a combined lubrication system (lubricant is supplied to the most loaded parts of the internal combustion engine under pressure, to all others - by simple spraying).

Engine Renault Logan K7M 710 and its successor K7M 800 (produced by the same Automobile Dacia) 1.6 l and 86 hp. (K7M 800 - 82 hp) are almost completely identical in design to the K7J, they are also liquid cooled, but have a piston stroke increased by 10.5 mm, obtained by changing the height of the block.

The greatest differences in design and characteristics are observed in the K4M engine, despite the fact that this internal combustion engine is 1.6 l and 102 hp. is also just another development of the K7M series. An all-new 16-valve cylinder head with two lightweight camshafts and a new piston system.

Here, finally, the need for constant adjustment of internal combustion engine valves over fairly short runs has been eliminated, eliminated by the simple use of well-known hydraulic compensators. The engine accelerates the car to 100 km/h in 10.5 seconds, reaching a maximum of 180 km - quite good performance. There are no obvious weak points in this unit: the necessary changes have been made to the system in terms of the pump and thermostat, and the ignition module has also been modified.

Considerable experience in operating Renault cars with all three types of liquid-cooled engines allows us to draw up a fairly objective picture of their strengths and weaknesses, and in the two models K7J and K7M these characteristics are almost identical, and only the K4M engine has significant differences due to more modern technological solutions, and which one is better is up to the buyers to decide.

Currently reading: Renault Logan 1.4 engine: service life, power, faults

Advantages of K7J and K7M:

• low cost and simplicity of engine design;
• reliability: confirmed service life is more than 400 thousand km;
• versatility and maintainability;
• ease of maintenance;
• high torque;
• good “elasticity” of engines, equal to 1.83.

Disadvantages of K7J and K7M:

• relatively high fuel consumption;
• instability of speed when idling;
• the absence of hydraulic compensators in the design, as a result - the need for constant adjustment of the valves (after 20-30 thousand km);
• “bending” of valves when the timing belt suddenly breaks;
• increased “fluidity” of crankshaft oil seals;
• poor reliability of cooling system elements;
• noisy and prone to vibration.

The advantages of the K7M model over the K7J include only an increase in maximum power by 12% and maximum torque by 11%. But the 1.6 liter internal combustion engine also pays for these advantages with an increased appetite of 4.5%, so which is better is a moot point.

• reliability, practical service life exceeds 400 thousand km;
• compliance with Euro-4 environmental standards;
• increased power (102 hp);
• low noise and vibration resistance;
• more modern and reliable cooling system.

Compared to 8-valve engines, the K4M 16V is much quieter, vibration-free and has the same service life, but significantly more power and torque.

Disadvantages of the K4M motor:

• expensive spare parts;
• “bending” of valves when the belt breaks;
• weak “elasticity” of the engine, equal to 1.53, as a result – problems with car acceleration when overtaking.

Thus, a detailed analysis of the technical characteristics of all three ICE samples, as well as practical experience in operating Renault Logan with these power plants, allows us to determine which engine is better. The more powerful 1.6 liter internal combustion engine with liquid cooling is still somewhat preferable to its “big brother” 1.4 liter.

Power 75 hp It’s simply not enough for comfortable driving of a loaded car, either on a country highway or during short “jogs” around the city. And in the debate between a 16V motor and an 8V motor, the first sample is the undisputed leader. The only characteristic in which 16V is inferior to its opponent is “elasticity”.

The 1.6 and 16-valve engine differs from the newest modifications; they are the absence of a mechanism for regulating valve timing; this engine design has significantly reduced the dynamic capabilities of the car. But the advantages remain excellent maintainability and durability, that is, increased engine life, thanks to simple design solutions from the manufacturer.

The engine is powered by a 1.4-liter 8-valve engine, which confirms the identical layout and similar design aspects of both engines.

The changes affected the following components and systems:

• the cylinder volume increased (1.6 liter engine), which made it possible to increase power in tandem with torque and improve the dynamic characteristics of the model;
• The output of the unit increased by 11% (up to 82 “horses” for the 8-valve version), this engine design led to an increase in torque to 132 Nm;
• the cooling system has undergone adjustments (the need for this modification is caused by an increase in engine power);
• the cooling circuit did not receive any fundamental design changes, and its elements were modified in order to achieve greater performance, for which some new components were integrated, which led to an increase in the service life and efficiency of the system, especially in critical operating modes;
• power increase up to 102 hp. With. achieved thanks to the use of new components in the cylinder-piston group units and valve mechanism:
• the number of valves has doubled (from 8 to 16), which ensured better filling of the combustion chambers with the mixture and led to an increase in power and dynamic capabilities;
• The service life of the motor has increased significantly due to the use of parts made of new, more durable alloys;
• After applying the previously mentioned design solutions in the updated engines, Renault Logan developers managed to achieve significant fuel efficiency:
• 1.5 liters at a distance of 100 km for a 1.6 engine with 16 valves;
• 1.0 liter in the case of 8-valve engine versions.

All these innovations made it possible to essentially make the 1.6 liter engine. more modern (especially the 16-valve version), the engine life has become longer. Although the developers did not apply progressive and innovative design solutions, this modernization of engines for Renault Logan still made it possible to attract a large army of new potential customers to the updated model.

In addition to design innovations, these units began to meet the requirements of Euro-5 environmental standards. In the future, the manufacturer of Renault Logan models planned to bring the engine design to the level of compliance with Euro 6/7 standards.

The update of the 1.6-liter unit was not limited to the use of a 16-valve cylinder head mechanism. The increase in traction and power characteristics was achieved thanks to significant transformations, including:

• increasing the performance level of the intake and exhaust systems, which was a necessary measure to bring engines to the advanced level of environmental standards;
• the use of new elements in the cooling circuit, which significantly improved the efficiency of its operation;
• replacement of the generator with a version of increased performance for the Renault Logan model, which made it possible to cope with increased loads on this unit (now the power varies depending on the model’s configuration)

Do-it-yourself Renault Logan interior tuning

Fortunately, the Renault Logan interior is not particularly sophisticated, and many tuning accessories for universal use can be used here too.

Floor mats

You can purchase sets of mats, for example, glowing mats from PROSPORT, which will glow when used in the cabin with ultraviolet lighting. You can decorate it a little and at the same time extend the service life of existing mats with special aluminum linings that prevent them from being abraded by shoes under the control unit. In addition, you can choose covers for the pedals themselves, which will protect them from rapid wear and will give the interior a special flavor.

Four-point and six-point seat belts, belt covers

Do you like fast driving? This is for you! With such a seat belt, you won’t even feel discomfort during hard braking, and in the event of an accident, you will have a much greater chance of not getting hurt at all.

The simple seat belt cover is not only beautiful, it greatly alleviates the discomfort caused by the seat belt and is a must-have if you spend all day behind the wheel.

Sports steering wheel

You can completely replace the steering wheel of your car with a sports one. It's not just the bright colors, you'll also get a steering wheel that's ideal for handling comfort. The rough surface, ergonomic design, and often the presence of control buttons on it will make it possible to enjoy driving on any road.

You can further improve the steering wheel with the help of a clutch that allows you to quickly remove the steering wheel or adjust its stem. Steering wheel braids are available in hundreds of different options; their purpose is not only to make the appearance of the interior more memorable, as a rule, when using them, the driver receives greater comfort. Choose it as the final touch when tuning the Renault Logan interior.

Gear shift knob

The gear shift knob is one of the most striking objects in the car interior, certainly attracting attention. You can choose from a variety of handle options that not only add style thanks to the design and visual extension of the lever, but also give you the comfort you need

There are a variety of covers for pens in a variety of options; choose the color to match your interior.

Decorative frames, inserts, and other elements

All these little things at first glance help make the interior of the car individual and unique, conveying the character of the owner. An air ionizer will get rid of unpleasant odors in the cabin, you can install any audio systems to replace the standard ones, and complete flashing of the entire cabin is possible. The time when interior tuning was limited to stickers on windows and coins behind the windshield rubber is long gone; make your car special. Tuning the dashboard, instrument panels, everything is in your hands.

Types of tuning

It's no secret that the tuning procedure not only improves the appearance, but also improves the technical characteristics of the car.

We can say that through tuning, a vehicle turns into a truly modified product of the automotive industry.

Varieties:

• technical – this type of tuning includes:
• increasing engine power parameters;
• gearbox transformation;
• chip tuning;
• modification of the car suspension.

Internal tuning is based on replacing interior elements.

External tuning consists of the following processes:

• installation of modified lighting equipment and other optics;
• installation of body kits and spoilers;
• replacing some body parts with other lightweight options;
• applying airbrushing, moldings and various overlays;
• tinting glass surfaces.

In order to visually familiarize yourself with this procedure, you can look at photographs of tuning Renault Logan and Renault Duster.

Radiator pad

A fairly noticeable detail of tuning is the installation of a radiator trim, which, in addition to its beautiful appearance, can also perform a protective role.

Installing it yourself is not difficult, and it costs only 1500-2000 rubles.

Interior tuning

It is difficult to do professional tuning of the Renault Logan interior. If you really take the issue seriously, the price of such tuning will be approximately half the cost of a standard Logan, and this is not entirely advisable. But still, you can redo the interior even with a small budget, for example, if you install a different audio system, put on beautiful covers, change the steering wheel, then all this will not cost much.

With a budget of 10,000 rubles, you can install a more powerful audio system, especially if you don’t like the standard one. A subwoofer will cost about 10,000 rubles, new speakers - 6,000, and a rear acoustic shelf - 2,000 rubles. As for the multimedia system, prices can be completely different, there is no limit, there are systems that cost more than a car.

As a rule, all the acoustics and various elements are already available, except that it will take about a week to install these systems if you take the car to a service center for them to install it.

The door sill plates with the model name look original; depending on the design, they can cost about 2,700 rubles. And for those who are not used to the fact that the car does not have an on-board computer, there is good news - it can be installed for 6,000 rubles. Also, to make the car more modern, you can install heated seats; this topic is especially relevant for those who drive a lot in the winter. For 3000 rubles it will be possible to solve this issue.

Next, in order to know exactly how much fuel is left in the tank, you can install a fuel pressure regulator with a pressure gauge; for example, such a regulator from Prosport will cost 3,000 rubles. In general, this regulator is needed in order to increase engine power by pumping more fuel into the cylinders. But this is true for really powerful engines. For Renault Logan, this pressure regulator is purely for beauty.

For those who will allocate 100,000 rubles for body tuning

The most expensive interior finishing job is reupholstering the interior. It all depends on the quality of the materials used and the number of parts that need to be altered. If we take the re-stitching of the front and rear seats, door inserts and headrests, then the price of the issue will be about 70,000 rubles, if we take large cities of Russia, such as Moscow and St. Petersburg. If you do a complete re-stitching, the price can rise significantly.

Hood stop

Another cheap solution in Logan is a mechanical hood stop, which is popularly called a poker. Why didn't the manufacturer install a stop that would help lift the hood and hold it in the open position without additional fixation? The topic has been thoroughly developed and on the forums you will find numerous reports on their installation. Parts from domestic brands - Tavria, Devyatka, Niva - are suitable as stops. Various mounting options have been invented.

The finished delivery kit contains fasteners, stops and detailed instructions. Even a beginner can easily cope with the task. There are a lot of reviews on the forums about such sets from users who managed to buy them and use them.

Updated Renault Logan (Dacia) 2013

The 2013 Logan is a completely different car. Literally everything is new. The French completely changed the exterior, the entire interior changed, and the car also received many new useful features that make the car head and shoulders above its previous versions. In general, officially, Logan 2013 is the second generation of the car, since in 2008, the car underwent only a slight restyling. This year, Renault also introduced the Sandero model and the Sandero StepWay modification. These three cars have a lot in common. The body design, front and rear lights, as well as the interior are almost identical. Thus, the French want to follow the fashion trend - unification, which is characteristic of all models of famous brands.

For example, in Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes, cars of all classes have long been similar to each other. Even the Hyundai brand made the new Accent, Elantra and Sonata models simply copies. Now it seems that Renault has joined this trend. See what awaits us in the new Duster!

Windscreen wipers

The first thing the driver sees when driving a Renault Logan for the first time is the unusual operation of the windshield wipers. The wipers do not turn on automatically after using the washer, as happens on many modern cars. Some people even like it, but many logan drivers still require automation. Amazingly, everything needed for this function to work is in the car: you just need to modify a few things.

According to the instructions, even an inexperienced motorist can perform the upgrade. The costs are also cheap - only one transaction is required. After the modification, the function begins to work as follows: when you pull the wiper lever toward you, water splashes onto the glass, and after 1-1.5 seconds the brushes begin to move. The number of strokes depends on how long you hold the lever:

• less than a second - one swing;
• two seconds - two swings;
• three seconds or more - three strokes.

It is amazing that the system was not modernized at the factory for a long time, but in the latest models this problem was nevertheless solved.

Tuning Renault Logan

By looking at photos of Renault Logan tuning, you can bring interesting ideas to life. You can improve your car either with the help of a tuning studio or on your own, since there are plenty of tuning parts on the market. Tuning a Renault Logan with your own hands is not a very expensive and time-consuming process.

You can start tuning Renault Logan yourself by installing new alloy wheels - this will take a little time. You can install front optics, rear lights, side window deflectors, additional brake lights, fog lights. If you don’t want to change the standard headlights, you can purchase specialized headlight covers for Renault Logan. Glasses are available in various colors and shapes. They are plastic covers that change the shape of the headlights and protect the glass from damage without interfering with the glow of the lamps. In general, alternative optics are significantly different from those installed at the factory and significantly change the appearance of Renault Logan. You can continue tuning Renault Logan by tinting the windows with a dark film or film in the body color.

External tuning

External tuning of Renault Logan also involves the installation of an aerodynamic body kit, which, in addition to its attractive appearance, also improves the aerodynamics and handling of the car. Body kits include front and rear bumpers, side skirts, spoiler, side skirts, and radiator grille. You can install a wing and a visor on the rear window. There are a lot of options for external tuning of Logan, it all depends on the imagination and preferences of the owner. This machine is great for a variety of exterior modifications.

Internal tuning Renault Logan

In addition to external transformation, most drivers prefer to improve the technical characteristics of Renault Logan, for example, increase engine power, since the factory one does not have the desired power. The most affordable and effective way is chip tuning. Through chip tuning, the electronic control unit is modified, the computer program is changed, but the technical part of the car is not affected. Pros: increased power, torque and reduced fuel consumption.

Driving a Renault Logan becomes fast and comfortable. In addition, chip tuning provides another significant advantage - it is the installation of a system in the car that can select programs for normal engine operation. Thus, the driver has the opportunity to drive the car by independently changing the engine characteristics. That is, if there is a need for fast driving, the ECU switches to the sports operating mode; when driving quietly, the standard mode is switched on. Chip tuning will help make it easier to drive a car on city roads, but on the highway it makes it possible to accelerate sharply when overtaking. Many Logan owners increase braking dynamics by installing ventilated brakes on the front axle.

Renault Logan interior tuning

The Renault Logan interior is too simple and not original, so the use of special parts and accessories is a necessity.

You can reupholster the seats, steering wheel and other interior parts with modern materials in the same color scheme and style. Velor, leather, eco-leather are perfect for these purposes: the materials are relatively inexpensive, but durable and elastic. Tuning the Renault Logan interior includes installing heated seats, which is very important in domestic climatic conditions.

Car owners should acquire high-quality sound insulation, which will eliminate the sound irritants characteristic of Renault Logan. An air ionizer will eliminate unpleasant odors in the cabin. Rugs will add a special touch to the interior and perform a protective function. All these details can make the interior of the car individual and convey the character of the owner. Modernization of Renault Logan will help car owners gain comfort, coziness and additional opportunities.

Combined firmware

Among the chip tuning innovations, we should mention “smart” firmware, which has the ability to independently determine the mode for the operation of the motor (version 16V). These programs develop the ability of a car to adapt to the driving style of a particular owner.

The operating principle of these programs is based on the following aspects:

• during intensive acceleration to high speed, the program activates the so-called “sport mode”, the end result of which is an increase in power (fuel consumption increases significantly);
• if the owner switches to a calm driving style, then the firmware reproduces an “economy mode”, which implies maximum fuel economy, implying a forced loss of power.

Chip tuning Renault

Chip tuning is a special procedure that allows you to improve the dynamics of the car, as well as increase the comfort parameters when driving and handling.

Advantages of Renault chip tuning:

• increasing the sensitivity of the gas pedal;
• smoothing out dips with increasing speed and effects caused by turbo lag;
• improvement of pick-ups from below;
• increasing elasticity characteristics under various loads;
• solving problems that arise due to floating speed on a cold propulsion device;
• improving the functioning of the internal combustion engine when the air conditioner is running.

Chip tuning improves not only turbocharged engines, but also naturally aspirated ones. This fact can be verified by measurements on a dyno stand.

Airbrush or vinyl film

Well, in the end, you can pay attention to applying various airbrushes, although vinyl film will be much cheaper.

Plus, vinyl film is much easier to apply yourself, as well as remove it (if you no longer like it). The same cannot be said about airbrushing, where to remove it you will have to completely repaint the car.

Changes affecting the interior

1. The radiator grille is endowed with the role of not only a decorative element, but can also please with its practicality. This is expressed in the throughput of the oncoming air flow for cooling the radiator honeycombs of the cooling system.

There are several options for transforming the appearance of this element:

• painting in a color similar to the body coating;
• lining the grille or replacing it with a more sophisticated analogue.

On the market you can find many companies selling modified front grilles, this can be seen from numerous photos. They are often more effective than original products. Some workshops can make a custom grille based on your wishes.

We recommend using these parts if there is a need for deeper and more “advanced” tuning of Renault Logan.

2. Next, the front bumper will need modification. In addition, you can get overlays. This category of bumpers is endowed with increased strength and resistance to low-temperature atmospheric conditions. To replace the bumper, you will need to carry out a number of mandatory disassembly operations yourself. This will save the owner from the cost of workshop services.

If you decide to tune the “French” Renault Logan, then replacing the bumper is “vitally” necessary, since this gives the exterior a unique charisma, and can also increase the efficiency of air cooling of units located in the depths of the engine compartment.

3. Stern bumper. After installing a “fresh” front bumper, neglecting to replace the rear similar element will be a blasphemous act. The choice of bumper should imply post-installation harmony with other exterior elements, for example, headlights.

4. The next stage when complex tuning is carried out can reasonably be considered the installation of new and effective optics. If you are inclined to modify old headlights, then this procedure is unlikely to lead to the expected effect. Therefore, we recommend getting new headlights. After installing the new optics, LED elements need to be integrated into its body. The rear headlights already have diode emitters in the factory version.

If you set out to implement such tuning in Renault Logan, you can achieve a high-quality result, because the new lighting equipment will not leave most passers-by indifferent.

5. Next, we resort to installing light-alloy wheels with low-profile tires. If you want to tune Renault Logan, the parameters of the specified elements will be as follows:

• disc radius – R-16;
• Tire size – 205*50*R16.

These modifications are recommended to be carried out in conjunction with measures to modernize the suspension.

6. When tuning is carried out, you should not neglect the modification of chassis elements. It would be advisable to install more efficient brakes:

• larger diameter disks;
• calipers with pads that improve braking efficiency.

Modifications of this nature should be carried out if you intend to operate a Renault Logan car in extreme conditions.

The continuation when tuning the suspension yourself is to replace the shock absorber struts with stiffer damping elements. Here, the installation of stiffer springs is considered a mandatory and effective measure.

7. Transformations in the interior can take on a varied character. The instrument panel is usually modified to improve the aesthetics of its appearance. There are ready-made versions for this element in the market network. It is also possible to modify the panel yourself. But for this option, the owner must have certain skills. Due to the rare nature of some panel parts, refinishing it yourself can be a long-term process or a dead end.

8. To modernize interior panels, many owners are inclined to purchase ready-made elements. In the photo or video you can see the finishing options and choose the most harmonious one according to your preference. These spare parts have their own functions, as well as individual color shades. Most elements can be replaced by hand without much difficulty.

Leather-trimmed steering wheel and gear knob

Some owners are inclined to contact a workshop, where specialists will qualitatively install the upholstery of the steering wheel rim and gearshift lever handle. However, the option of installing these accessories yourself cannot be ruled out. For this improvement, we provide some recommendations to minimize the risk of damage to premium material.

So:

1. We take the size from the Renault Logan steering wheel and make a pattern. For this purpose, we wrap the steering wheel with tape, after which we mark the seam. We use a marker.
2. We arm ourselves with a sharp knife, with which we make an incision along the suture line, and then remove the pattern from the steering rim.
3. We place the resulting template on a piece of leather and make markings on the material.
4. Apply a stitch along the edges of the leather. A thick thread will do.
5. Now you need to sew the two edges of the strip (skin) along the inner surface.
6. We put the manufactured ring cover on the steering rim and sew it with a needle and thick thread. We pass the needle through the seam so as to create gaps the size of one cell. This type of seam is called macrame.
7. We perform a similar operation with respect to the transmission lever handle. You can also convert the handbrake handle in a similar way.

Car repainting, airbrush work

The most suitable color for repainting is white, the base color of budget models. At the request of car tuning enthusiasts, numerous studios can paint the car in exotic colors and various “metallics”.

Simple combination color options can come down to sticking on several dark longitudinal stripes of plastic stickers that immediately make the car stand out on the road. Interesting are the combined color options for the new Renault Logan, combining the white top of the car with a dark (black, red) bottom.

The artistic airbrushing of the body looks most striking. Amateur airbrush tuning of Logan is hardly possible. Even when using stencils, these works require special equipment, significant experience, well-honed skills, and many years of practice. To improve the exterior of the Renault Logan with airbrushing and give the car a unique look, you need to contact a trusted tuning studio.

Hello. Very beautiful tuning of rear lights for Renault Logan 2014. But how can I buy or order them from you, I can’t find the link? I want chrome rear lights like in the photo of the white Renault Logan car. Help.

What can be done to change the ground clearance and how will this affect the performance of the car? I usually only did external tuning and only a couple of times, this time I’m thinking about doing something about the interior and “internals”. Regarding ground clearance, I don’t know whether this car will make it better or worse.

I wouldn’t change the ground clearance, but it’s quite realistic, it’s harder to raise the car, but visually lowering it is real. There are special inserts for this, which allow you to change the appearance of the car, and in which direction, everyone decides for themselves.

For me, normal tuning is improving the engine. First of all, I would install a turbine, but for this I would have to change the gearbox, since the standard one will not withstand the increased power of the car.

Renault first introduced the Logan model in 2004. Probably, then the French had no idea how successful this car would become, and what popularity awaited it. Since 2005, the car began to gain incredible popularity in the CIS countries. The car was a “B” class sedan and promised to cost nothing at all, which was rare for 2004-2005. Logan was produced under two brands: Dacia and Renault. Dacia is a Romanian company that has become a subsidiary of Renault itself since 1998

Probably many people still pay attention to Logan’s blue badge

Logan 2004, sold without any changes for only 4 years. And already in 2008, the car received a light restyling, which was aimed mainly at improving the exterior. The new product received a slightly modified trunk lid and radiator grille. To improve comfort, Renault decided to work on the side mirrors; they became wider, thanks to which the owners of the new Logan received a greater view than before. Since 2008, Logan has not changed until 2013. And today, in 2013, Renault introduced a new generation of its popular Logan. How much better is the new product than previous versions and what’s new in it, let’s look further.

Pythia[edit]

Often, the correctness of the choice is determined by the need to make it again, despite the fact that the price is already known.

Now, since the real test for any choice is having to make the same choice again, knowing full well what it might cost.

Cookie wants love just like everyone else.

Cookies need love like everything does.

We lose something, something remains in us. I also don’t recognize myself in the mirror yet... but I still love candy as before.

Some bits you lose, some bits you keep. I don't yet recognize my face in the mirror, but… I still love candy.

No one knows what will happen after a person makes a choice without understanding what he had to choose from.

No one can see beyond a choice they don't understand, and I mean no one.

Everything that has a beginning also has an end. I see the end. I see darkness coming. I see death walking. And I know that no one can stop him except you.

Everything that has a beginning has an end. I see the end coming. I see the darkness spreading. I see death. And you are all that stands in his way.

Source. When you met the hunters, you felt this power. But he was not ready to dispose of it. You were supposed to die, but apparently you are not ready for death yet.

The Source. That's what you felt when you touched those Sentinels. But you weren't ready for it. You should be dead, but apparently you weren't ready for that, either.

He is you. Your opposite, your antipode, the result of an equation that strives for an independent solution.

He is you. Your opposite, your negative, the result of the equation trying to balance itself out.

About tuning options

The Internet is overloaded with a huge number of photos and videos showing modified elements of Renault Logan cars.

Thanks to this thematic resource, you can come to the conclusion about the possibility of doing your own tuning. Here we will present the most popular transformations, the introduction of which to the car is so desirable for the majority of Loganovods.

1. Refinement of the radiator grille, transformation of the appearance of the front lighting equipment, installation of LED backlight lamps in the headlight units.
2. Modification of the front and rear bumpers.
3. Tuning the side sill trims.
4. Replacing the taillights with analogues with LED emitters.
5. Installation of light alloy wheels with a larger radius, which includes the installation of low-profile tires. This significantly brings the exterior of Renault Logan closer to a sporty look.
6. The use of brake mechanisms with increased performance and resistance to overheating.
7. Upgraded components in the suspension, which improves stability.
8. Tuning the dashboard and console.
9. The use of decorative overlays on interior upholstery elements.
10. Installation of metal linings on pedal pads of control units.
11. Tuning of other (not listed here) interior elements in order to give the interior a complete look.

The above list of tuning improvements is most in demand by the large army of Renault Logan owners.

Next, it is advisable to consider each of the above points in separate order for a more detailed acquaintance with the possibilities of hand-made tuning, and also consider the photo.

Why tuning is necessary

As mentioned earlier, Renault cars (Logan and Duster) have some advantages, thanks to which they have won the trust of many car owners.

Advantages:

• Low price;
• Maintenance is not expensive;
• Capacity;
• Optimal running parameters;
• European (acceptable) quality.

Flaws:

• Low level of quality of materials from which the finishing is made;
• Inadequate ergonomics;
• Insufficient basic equipment.

Of course, it cannot be denied that in recent years the modern Renault Logan and Renault Duster have changed a little: the manufacturers have improved the design and added a couple of new devices.

Factory tuning is not typical for such models: sometimes the tuning procedure is carried out by small organizations motivated solely by interest and working on pure enthusiasm, while other enterprises fundamentally do not undertake the work of upgrading such cars.

It is for this reason that owners of Logans and Dusters often have to tune their cars themselves.

Replacing rims

After installing light alloy wheels, many owners discover changes in the behavior of their car. This applies not only to acceleration dynamics, but also to handling.

In order for the new disks to fit on Renault Logan as “native” ones, the owner will need to worry about compliance with the technical parameters below, by which these products are classified and differentiated.

Among these points are:

• bolt pattern (it is important for attaching the disk to the hub);
• product diameter (in inches);
• the width of the disk itself and its overhang.

The indicated important parameters are present in the technical map of the car, and their compliance is paramount.

Sandero body modification

Do-it-yourself tuning of the Renault Sandero frame is very popular among the owners of this crossover. Video materials from master classes show a range of variations regarding tuning modernization of the car body. The entire range of work can be completed independently only if you have the appropriate equipment and tools.

If a car enthusiast wants to get a sports car as a result of design innovations, then such tuning can also be performed without the participation of third-party specialists. First, the thresholds of the car are hung with powerful, embossed structures, the wing is attached to the trunk, the protection of the car is strengthened at the front and rear, with the frame of the bumpers being improved. The radiator grille is replaced with a special metal mesh, which can be simply chrome-plated or painted to match the color of the car. The best option is to install the same type of grille in the space under the radiator and in front of it. This tuning is more appropriate.

Recent trends in car tuning indicate that it has become fashionable to apply various protective films to the car body. Renault Sandero has not been spared fashion either. Films are sold through official sales representatives. There are options for incomplete body wrapping, for example, tuning the hood or parts of the front bumper. They are applied to areas that are less protected when moving. Tuning using film is performed in a special room and with the necessary equipment.

The number of different types of Renault Sandero wheels is simply impressive. The diameter of the wheel hub (60.1 mm) and proper drilling (4/100) have a particular influence on the appearance of the rim. For the Renault Sandero line, the most suitable range of wheels can be offered by manufacturers NZ, as well as Alcasta and Cross Street.

How can you tell if your parents are being toxic?

There are no ideal parents: every person is capable of doing unpleasant things and saying hurtful things. The question is whether this behavior becomes the exception or the rule.

Peg Streep, in her book The Unloved Daughter, described the difference between toxic parents and loving ones:

The first sign of toxic communication is that it makes you feel bad.

If after another visit to your parents (or even after a short call) you feel not at all joy from communicating with a loved one, but guilt, helplessness, depression, irritation, or even anger, there is definitely a problem.

Here we are not talking about parents who become unbearable due to obvious or hidden mental disorders (you can read about this here), or about domestic tyrants, who are truly dangerous to be around and from whom you can only escape.

How to adjust the headlights on a Renault Fluence yourself

To get it, you need to press two buttons that are located on the sides of the socket. We take out the light bulb from the socket, simply pull it out. We install a new light source. We assemble the headlight unit. Renault Fluence headlights. That is, you need to carry out all the work described above with the lighting unit on the opposite side

That is, you need to carry out all the work described above with the lighting unit on the opposite side.

Trunk

Do-it-yourself modifications to Renault Logan 1 also concern improving the trunk. The car is not small, but it also has hidden reserves. The factory spare tire is located in the niche “face up”; its internal volume is not used in any way. If the wheel is turned over, the tow rope and other small things that are usually found in the trunk of every driver fit perfectly into the space.

Currently reading: Renault Logan technical specifications, configurations and prices

And so that half of the trunk is still level, experts advise covering the spare tire with a split plywood cover. The halves of such a homemade cover are connected by a sheet of thin sound insulation, the thickness of which does not exceed 3 mm. This articulated joint further reduces noise and vibration.
