How to upgrade a VAZ 2110 on your own?

I decided to create a topic, it will constantly change and be supplemented. The topic will be of interest to newcomers to driving, who will ask the question: “what should I do with the car?” Another goal is to preserve and remember some rare parts, even those that have gone out of use, because everyone who modifies a car sometimes wants to install something unusual. Go. (mostly there will be factory tuning created by enterprises, not homemade)

1) Rear window cover

2110 (specifically for the sedan). The same ones exist for the VAZ 2114.

2) Frill overlay

decorative (attached with self-tapping screws).

3) Mirror covers

Kurazh-3

4) Rear window trim

2110, 2112. There are different variations, it can be transparent. Their main goal is to hide rust when selling (some people use it as tuning).

5) Athermal glasses

(green glasses). Sometimes people buy a kit and replace regular glasses with green ones. Here I will also add such an improvement as a heated windshield from Priora.

6) Hella optics

, also stands on M-ki. There are halogen and xenon variations.

7) Plastic front fenders

for a normal face. 21108403015 - left, 21108403014 - right. Articles from the manufacturer Kamplast, there are others.

8)Front bumper from Bogdan 2110

. Factory bumper, an interesting replacement instead of the original one. It’s worth mentioning here that you can’t count all the bumpers, there are a lot of them.

9) Mirrors from Priora

. On the left is the old one, on the right is the new one. Review of inexpensive mirrors for Priora from Aliexpress

10) Flashlights Autointersvet

, domestic and factory, withdrawn from sale, currently available on Avito. There is light chrome and black variations.

11) “Putter” lights. I strongly recommend the manufacturer OSVAR, do not buy Chinese ones, they fade and often have wiring problems. OSWAR “sticks” are available in light and dark.

light

dark

12) Jabot from Priora-2. May require local adjustments. 2170-8212734 - right part of the frill 2170-8212735 - left part of the frill.

13) Headlight washer. There was a full-time one. In addition, we can recommend the skif OFS-12S washer.

regular

Scythian

14) Windshield seals from Priora. Fights dirt on side windows and does not erase paintwork from the roof. 21700-5206070/65/64 - article number (we change the last two digits, consists of 3 parts)

15) Leather deflector (hood sconce, auto sconce), a rare thing these days, but it’s still on sale.

16) Rear window linings with a deflector, apparently protection from dirt for the rear window. I don’t have the name of the body kit or other information.

17) Euro pens, the majority of positive reviews are collected by pens from the Lynx company, so I recommend them, beware of China, otherwise your money and time are wasted.

18) Headlight cleaner 2110. Nowadays there are few offers for sale.

While I remembered such options, and only for external tuning, perhaps I will create separate themes for the interior, engine, etc. Write interesting options in the comments!

INSTRUMENT PANEL UPGRADES

The main problem of the dashboard on the VAZ 2110 is that it is very soft and can be deformed even when poked with a finger. Therefore, car owners strive to strengthen it. Here's what you need for this:

  • screwdriver with a set of open-end wrenches;
  • sandpaper;
  • epoxy resin;
  • polyurethane foam;
  • fiberglass.

SEQUENCING

The main thing that the driver must understand is that you need to work with the panel very carefully. It's easy to break.

  1. Since it is impossible to work with the panel inside the cabin, it will have to be removed by unscrewing the fasteners with a Phillips screwdriver.


    To modernize the dashboard it will have to be removed from the “ten”

  2. The removed panel is thoroughly cleaned of dust and dirt. This is done using a piece of dry rag.
  3. A thin layer of polyurethane foam is applied to the cleaned outer surface of the panel.
  4. When the foam hardens, it is given the desired shape using sandpaper.


    The polyurethane foam on the surface of the panel hardened and was treated with sandpaper

  5. The resulting surface must be strengthened. To do this, fiberglass is laid on it in several layers, which is fixed with epoxy resin. After the glue has dried, the surface is sanded again.
  6. Now all that remains is to cover the panel with high-quality vinyl film. Its choice depends on the driver’s preferences. Many people choose film painted to look like carbon.

IMPROVING INSTRUMENT LIGHTING

The dashboard lighting on the VAZ 2110 has never been bright, since it uses ordinary incandescent light bulbs. Therefore, drivers often replace them with LEDs. They are brighter. And they last longer.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS

To install the LEDs, you will first have to remove the instrument cluster from the panel. The light bulb sockets are located on the back wall of this unit, and there is no other way to reach them.

  1. The steering wheel of the car is set to its lowest position.
  2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew two self-tapping screws located above the devices.
  3. After this, the decorative trim can be pulled out by pulling it towards you.
  4. Below it there are 3 more screws that hold the instrument unit with light bulbs. The screws are unscrewed with the same Phillips screwdriver.
  5. The instrument unit is removed. All wires are disconnected from the rear panel. The incandescent light bulbs are removed and replaced with LEDs.

  6. The block is installed in place, then the instrument panel is reassembled.

Tuning headlights VAZ 2110


Well, let's continue tuning the VAZ 2110 at home. After new bumpers have been installed, the radiator grille has been replaced with a more attractive option, and the rear and front wheels have acquired new shapes, you can move on to tuning the optics. It’s no secret that the “original” Lada lights do not stand up to serious criticism, so their upgrade is not only desirable, but also necessary.

As a rule, car enthusiasts follow one of two paths - installing new LED lights or tuning existing ones. And if the first option does not raise any questions - everyone selects lanterns at their own discretion, then the second option requires some explanation. Refinement of optics consists of tinting - painting, and the color and intensity of illumination does not change. This is very simple to do - just remove the headlights (to get a complete picture, it is recommended to tint both the front and rear lights) from the car and separate the glass from the sealant. After this, you need to clean and degrease the surface, and then proceed directly to painting. It is done with heat-resistant paint, in an even layer, without affecting the headlight glass.

After the paint has dried, the lights are put in place. At this point, tuning the headlights of the VAZ 2110 can be considered complete

STEERING WHEEL COVER

Without braiding, the steering wheel on the VAZ 2110 seems thin and slippery, which does not have the best effect on driving safety. So after buying a car, car owners usually install a braid on the steering wheel. You should choose size “M”, intended for steering wheels with a diameter of up to 39 cm (this is the standard wheel for the VAZ 2110).


The braid is sewn together with a clamp needle and nylon thread

The purchased braid is put on the steering wheel, its edges are tightly sewn together using a clamp needle and strong nylon thread.

We bring the body to a “shine” state

In order for the body to look truly beautiful, it is necessary to give it shine. If you are satisfied with the color of the car, you can leave it as is, but if not, it is recommended to choose the most suitable one and repaint it. Special note : if you want your car to really look its best, it makes sense to replace the body with a new one. Because if there are defects, they will appear and the appearance will be spoiled, and redoing an already finished project is double the cost. In addition, you can take the car to an airbrush technician, who will decorate it with patterns and apply any inscriptions the owner desires. This step will slightly increase the cost of tuning, but the effect will be amazing.


Vinyl stickers for VAZ 2110

To give your car a real shine, you will need to treat the car with liquid glass. Liquid glass is a mixture of an alkaline solution of potassium and sodium silicates. It is sold in automotive markets in aerosols or small cans, and the application process does not require special skills. It is recommended to spray the composition in small spot applications of 10-20 square meters. cm. Then take a microfiber cloth (it does not leave streaks on the body and does not scratch the paintwork) and carefully polish it. The result is a truly sparkling car in all weather conditions.

ABOUT REPLACING SEATS

The standard seats on the VAZ 2110 have never been comfortable. Therefore, car enthusiasts replace them with seats from the following cars: Skoda Octavia A5, Hyundai i30 or BMW E60.


Domestic car enthusiasts often bet on the “tens” of seats with the Hyundai i30

All these chairs are distinguished by their thoughtful design, comfort and compactness. It is not possible to install them in a garage, since the fastenings will have to be seriously modified and reworked. So the car owner has only one option: take the car to the appropriate car service center, having previously agreed with the specialists. The price of such a service is from 40 to 80 thousand rubles.

Tuning the VAZ 2110 engine and transmission

You need to start engine tuning by improving the “breathing” of the engine, i.e. First of all, you need to provide the engine with a good air flow. Replacing such a simple part as an air filter will increase engine power by up to 8%. Immediately after the old filter, you need to remove the entire throttle assembly, because it will be able to provide the necessary amount of air for the process of preparing the fuel mixture.

Naturally, you will have to spend money on an intake receiver, before you have to make a choice - where will you need more power at low speeds, or is it necessary for the car to feel more confident at high engine speeds? It should be noted that replacing the exhaust receiver and camshaft should only be done under special conditions in a professional service center, because Carrying out this work yourself may require additional costs for repairs and delivery of the car by tow truck to the same service center.

Naturally, this modification will necessarily require replacement of the intake system. For example, you can install a 4-2-1 manifold, where gases will first merge into two pipes and then be combined into a common stream. Engine chip tuning would also be a good idea.

Having started tuning the VAZ 2110, you can also modify the standard transmission. For example, a sixth gear would not be superfluous (although “adding” it would be very labor-intensive and time-consuming). But such an addition justifies itself - when installing such “short” gears, you can provide the opportunity for a quick and rapid increase in speed and the engine reaching maximum power.

Therefore, you need to immediately take into account the task for yourself: do you need to rarely change gears or very often turn to the gearshift knob? Don't forget about the clutch, because... The factory one won't last long. Here it is recommended to go to a special store and purchase something from the options of Western manufacturers (AP, UK, Lockhead). A limited slip differential would be a good idea for safety reasons. The suspension should not be ignored either. Read more information on the tens engine here

Blue leatherette inserts blend seamlessly with the gray interior background


The seats have red leatherette covers, the doors have red plastic inserts


The car owner used leatherette and vinyl of the same color to decorate the interior

So, every car enthusiast can improve the interior of the VAZ 2110. The main thing in this matter is not to get carried away. Excess is not good for any business. And car tuning is no exception.

External tuning


Well, let's start our VAZ 2110 tuning by transforming the appearance of the car. Of course, we can’t say that the “ten” looks unattractive and hopelessly old; its exterior is quite nice and modern, although minor external tuning obviously wouldn’t hurt it.

So what can be changed? Here, a truly unlimited field for maneuvers and imagination opens up for the car owner - new bumpers (both front and rear), sunroof, spoilers, sills, updated radiator grille, hood airbrushing, door handles and much more. All this can not only provide the body with additional protection and improve its aerodynamics, but also radically transform the appearance of the car, making it truly unique. The main thing here is not to overdo it, and not to turn your Lada into a New Year tree, decorated generously, but no matter how.

However, the external tuning does not end there. Many car enthusiasts note the unsatisfactory quality of the “original” discs (both rear and front), so it is highly advisable to replace them with new ones. An excellent option would be cast (titanium) wheels, distinguished by both their excellent technical data and the variety of available designs.
