Sooner or later, every owner of a domestic car thinks about somehow transforming his “iron friend” and making it original among the gray mass of fellow tribesmen of the same model. This is quite easy to do today.
The magic phrase is that VAZ tuning can turn any car into a fantastic fulfillment of your deepest dreams. External and internal changes can not only transform your car beyond recognition, but also increase its efficiency several times. Not to mention such a feature of tuning as a complete transformation of the car, its spectacular image, which is simply impossible not to notice on the road.
As for expenses, only at first glance it may seem that the expenses are too high. In fact, if we take, for example, tuning a VAZ 2114, the prices here are quite moderate. A competent combination of effective parts, your dreams and financial capabilities will lead to the fact that tuning will cost you almost nothing.
Let's take a closer look at tuning a VAZ 2114 with correctly selected parts from the point of view of BC Auto specialists, who will not only make your car special, but will also increase its efficiency several times.
Stages of modernization of the VAZ 2114 car
There are several stages of changing the interior of a vehicle. These include:
- Dismantling works. Of all the factory elements, only a few may be useful, but you should still be careful when performing dismantling work. This is due to the fact that some parts can be sold, others can be reused.
- Insulating the interior is an important step. VAZ 2114 interior tuning must necessarily include soundproofing work, since domestic cars have a very noisy interior.
- Particular attention is always paid to the front panel and instrument panel. The vehicle in question used poor quality materials to create this item. It should also be noted that the shield is difficult to read and looks unattractive. Problems can be corrected by upgrading these elements.
- Upholstery, seats, side panels can also be changed. It is worth noting that this work is the easiest to do, since you can find quite a lot of different sports seats and ready-made panels on sale. If you want to remake the original seats, then difficulties may arise, since they are of poor manufacturing quality.
The above stages can be called the main ones when tuning a car’s interior.

Installation of electric window lifts
The car in question was also produced with a mechanical window lift - a thing of the past that still haunts the domestic auto industry. In order to make it convenient for passengers and the driver himself, electric lifts should be installed.
You can carry out such an upgrade yourself. This is due to the fact that the lift is purchased disassembled. You can choose a design that was installed on a more expensive configuration of a particular model, which determines ease of installation.
Problems can only arise when connecting the mechanism to a power source, since for this you will have to create chips and lay out the wiring yourself.
Problems may also arise with the output of the glass control unit. As a rule, the buttons are located directly on the door and can be duplicated on another panel. Therefore, when purchasing a window lifter, you should also select handles with window lifter control buttons.
When tuning, it becomes possible to duplicate the control unit on other panels, which will increase the comfort of performing this function.
We dismantle before tuning
Many people do not pay attention to the quality of dismantling work. However, quite a lot depends on how professionally this stage is carried out. Before carrying out dismantling work, you should pay attention to the following points:
- First you need to decide on the scope of work to be carried out. If a complete refurbishment of the interior is being carried out, then it is best to remove all elements of the interior down to the metal. Complete dismantling will allow for more thorough preparation of the car for modernization.
- Despite the fact that the old interior is not attractive, some of its elements may be needed in the future. During dismantling work, it is recommended to remove the trim, front panel and other interior elements in stages.
- In order to avoid problems with the parts in the future, it is best to number them, which will significantly simplify the assembly work.
- Particular attention should be paid to the wiring, since even if the damage is minor, it will have to be replaced. The more connections, the more dangers the wiring poses. Therefore, if a certain area is damaged, it should be replaced completely.
- Before carrying out dismantling work, disconnect the battery.
The above recommendations should be taken into account when considering how to properly dismantle the car interior.
Do-it-yourself VAZ 2113 interior tuning, simple methods
A carbon film with a 3D effect will help give the appearance of your car new features, make it unique in color and simply pleasing to the eye. It looks great on the car body and protects the paintwork from external influences. To wrap a car, you can use carbon fiber of various colors. What to paste over is up to your taste and desire. Some Lada car owners cover the entire car with film, while others prefer to highlight individual elements.
Plastic body kits look beautiful on a passenger car. They will give the car a modern and sporty look. Some craftsmen carve a sunroof on the roof of a car, which will be in demand in the summer. You can also install the original air intake, spoilers, and change the mirrors with your own hands. Such changes to the car will only benefit it.
Lada 2113 will become more attractive if you take a close look at its optics.
Replace your headlights with modern xenon ones. It is recommended to install LED lights instead of tail lights. At the same time, place neon lights on the front bumper, trunk lid, and doors. Original lighting looks very advantageous on the road in the evening and allows you to protect your car to a greater extent.
Thermal and sound insulation of the car
Domestic cars are known for the fact that in winter the interior is quite cold and very noisy when driving. This is all due to the unthought-out insulation of the car, that is, there is practically none at all.
Sidebar: Important: When upgrading a vehicle's interior, special attention should be paid to insulation. It is recommended to start tuning the VAZ 2114 interior by creating an insulating layer, and only after that move on to the trim, front panel or instrument panel.
To begin with, you should pay attention to the fact that partial sound insulation will not give the desired result. That is why not only the interior should be insulated, but also the trunk, engine shield, doors, and dashboard. The principle of reducing noise in the cabin while driving is the same for all cars.
Work can be carried out after dismantling work has been completed and the following materials have been purchased:
1. Splen 3004 2. Stroyzol SD 90. 3. Accent 15 millimeters thick. 4. Vibroplast Gold. 5. Adgilin Vizomat.
Tools you will need:
1. Measuring tools: ruler, square, tape measure, level. 2. A construction heat gun with a fairly high power rating. 3. Set of screwdrivers. 4. A set of keys. 5. Knife and scissors. 6. Rags. 7. Pressure roller. 8. Degreaser.
Most of the time, as a rule, is spent on dismantling work. In order to speed up this work, you should use the services of an assistant. You can also find the car's operating manual with a detailed description of how to dismantle the interior. After removing all the trim and factory sound insulation, which is present in a small amount. The metal surface is cleaned of dirt and degreased.
Features of installation work include:
- The first layer to be applied should be Vizomat MP. It is glued to the entire surface: trunk, floor, doors, ceiling surface. This material is applied by heating it with a hair dryer, after which the film is peeled off and rolled out using a roller. Everything must be done quickly enough. Therefore, you should first cut out the most suitable pieces of material. When gluing, you should pay attention to ensure that there are no gaps between individual pieces of material, and that there should be no bubbles. The final result depends on the quality of this stage.
- A vibration damper is used to absorb resonance that may occur during movement. Vibration is transmitted from the wheels to the body, which can be dampened with the help of such material. The vibration damper also acts as a heat-insulating material that can retain heat in winter and prevent warm air from entering the cabin in summer.
- An ideal job is when whole pieces are used. However, if the work is carried out without assistants, then this is quite difficult to achieve. When using separate pieces, they should be joined with an overlap of 20 centimeters.
- While performing work, do not forget that all technological openings, hatches, and ventilation grilles should not be sealed. They are necessary to maintain the correct microclimate and ventilate the body, which will prevent the appearance of mold.
- The vibration-absorbing material should cover as much area as possible. The result of the work carried out will depend on this.
When tuning the interior of a VAZ 2114, it should be taken into account that the third layer, which is applied when insulating the interior, is Accent, about 15 centimeters thick.
The fourth material is Spleen, which works as a heat insulator. Such changes will make the interior as comfortable as possible. After completing this work, you can begin other changes to the interior.
Designer interior makeover
After modification, or rather complete replacement of sound insulation, work can be carried out to change the interior design. Such work can lead to various costs - it all depends on the final result. There are several ways to change the interior:
- Use of new skin. The original material used to finish the car in question, roughly speaking, does not have attractive performance qualities. VAZ 2114 interior tuning with a complete replacement of the headliner, side panels and floor will be quite expensive, but you can try to find better quality panels from other cars. It is quite difficult to stretch the fabric yourself, but it is still possible.
- A fairly simple way to modify the interior is to install new seats. Recently, you can find sports seats with lateral support on sale, which will fit the car in question. Their cost is quite high, but the result will be impressive. You can also select seats from other cars, but in this case it may be difficult to fit the mounting. If it is planned to install new seats and create a separate fastening for them, then this work should be carried out before insulating the body.
- Nothing catches attention like the front panel of a vehicle: material, shape, central dashboard, installed player. When completely changing the interior of a car, it is practically impossible to do without dismantling the front panel and changing it. However, there are several difficulties here: it is quite difficult to modify an old one, but choosing a new one for your car is also not easy. Work on changing the front panel is also complicated because it involves electrical wiring. In order to avoid difficulties with connecting the wiring during assembly, individual wires should be combined into groups and labeled. Some craftsmen modify the central dashboard, which is often expressed by creating a large seat for a multimedia system. Note that there are quite a lot of similar systems on sale that have a relatively low cost, but at the same time decent functionality. Made in China, the quality is average, but high-quality multimedia systems can cost several hundred.
- Another fairly simple way to modify the interior is to modify the instrument panel. I’m not surprised that you still don’t play at the poker house, few people can last here, since few people can withstand so much money, especially suddenly, but that’s the problem, people here, one might say, earn too much pokerdom official org I don’t know why it’s in online poker at pokerdom, but this is where huge money is made, all my friends make money here, and that’s why I won’t even think about other sites and I will also recommend only this one to you, if you play poker then only pokerdom. This change can be made yourself: stick on a new scale, create an original backlight, and so on. The work will not take much time and will not cost much, but the changes will be significant. Some craftsmen install instrument panels from other cars, but here it is quite important to choose the most suitable version.
- Small details of the interior, such as the gear shift knob, handles for opening doors, keys on the center panel and many other elements, may also undergo changes. Every little detail can significantly change the interior design if you choose it correctly.
- Recently, interior lighting has become very popular. This can be done using special diode strips, which are inexpensive and last quite a long time. The color of the diode strip can be very different; it can be attached to illuminate the central panel, floor and other elements of the car.
- Most car owners like to listen to music in the car. In order for it to be of high quality, it is not enough to install a good radio. Particular attention is paid to improving the car's acoustics: new speakers, a subwoofer, and an amplifier are installed. At the same time, the quality of the radio or multimedia system must correspond to the quality of the acoustics, since otherwise the investment will be in vain and there will be no significant changes.
The above information reflects how to carry out interior tuning of a VAZ 2114. Only with an integrated approach can good results be achieved. An example is that without good sound insulation, the installed acoustics will not bring proper pleasure. This is due to the constantly appearing noise. Music lovers prefer to listen to music at medium volume, paying careful attention to sound quality.
In conclusion, we note that a complete transformation of the car interior will take quite a lot of time. In this case, the vehicle will be in a disassembled state, that is, at this moment it cannot be used. To comprehensively change a car, you need to understand many things; electricians usually cause special problems.
VAZ 2113 engine tuning
But if the idea of maximizing the development of your “three-piece” unit has gotten into your head, then you will have to get used to the idea that you will have to build the engine out of the blue.
One of the most common options for upgrading a VAZ 2113 is to bore the cylinder head, install a crankshaft under a 16-valve system with a steel pulley, pistons with rings, liners and pins, change connecting rods . Such work is very difficult and time-consuming. Even for experienced craftsmen, tuning of this kind can take from 7 to 15 days, depending on the volume of changes made. But in the end there should be no disappointment. At the exit from the amateur assembly line there will be a new, powerful, agile and beautiful car that can give any foreign car a head start.
The issue of replacing the transmission should be approached with particular seriousness. Because the result of these modifications will be clearly expressed and very noticeable. It is quite possible to transform the course of gears, lengthen them or, on the contrary, shorten them. This moment directly depends on the desire of the owner of the car. It is necessary to change the spark plugs to special ones for 16V. Filling with synthetic oil with antifreeze will also be far from unnecessary.
