"Niva" 2121 - tuning for off-road

Initially, the off-road vehicle VAZ 2121 "Niva" was created for operation on rough terrain. It can conquer any peak, and this is a fact. However, despite the good ground clearance and full drive, the real traction and power have to be achieved by the motorists themselves. This is done with the help of multiple modifications (in other words, it's tuning). VAZ 2121 "Niva" and its technical characteristics we will consider in this article.

Refinement of internal combustion engine

If you are planning to conquer off-road on this off-road vehicle, it's best to start with engine revision. Such tuning of the VAZ "Niva" 2121 with your own hands is quite possible, but if you are not sure of your abilities, entrust all work to professional masters. The whole process is involved in increasing the exhaust and inlet channels of the cylinder head, as well as in reducing the weight of the valves and their guides. All this will increase the engine power by about 10-15 percent. This is a significant result, and on the road you will immediately feel the difference and will feel how easily your overcoming "Niva" 2121 overcomes obstacles. Tuning at this stage can be continued. In addition, to increase power, replace the carburetor and change the ignition system to electronic.

"Niva" 2121 - suspension tuning

The next stage will be the finalization of this part. Since the "Niva" is an all-wheel drive SUV, its suspension should be appropriate. In order to increase the course of the rear, it is necessary to install the "Rancho" shock absorbers and springs from the VAZ "four". Also do not forget about the reinforcement of the rear axle. The best material for this is steel boxes of 0.03 cm each. The front suspension can be increased in the same way. As a result, you will get a 4.5 centimeter greater ground clearance.

The exterior of the car "Niva" 2121

Tuning the exterior is an integral part of the finalization of the Niva. And since our task is to make the car more off-road, the first thing to do is to take care of the installation of the kangaroo. This part will protect the car body and its headlights from various impacts. By the way, lighting equipment can also be modified. Front install steel grilles, and instead of the serial stop signals set tuning options. But this is not the end of the styling process of the domestic SUV VAZ "Niva" 2121. Tuning can be supplemented by any airbrushing. It is best, of course, to do a complete painting of the machine. The optimal option for fans of hunting and fishing is the color of khaki. But in this case you will have to enter this revision into the technical passport, and this will draw a few hundred dollars more.

And in the end you can take care of installing the power bumper. Such parts are initially equipped with a powerful winch and are completely made up of metal. Unlike the painting of the "khaki" type, this part does not need to be inscribed in the vehicle's technical passport, and the effect from the application can be felt at the first departure. So tune your Niva and share your experience with others.
