VAZ-2104: tuning with your own hands

The car 2104, tuning of which is realistic to perform on its own, is in great demand in the domestic market. With proper maintenance and proper operation, the machine will work reliably and for a long time in its regular equipment. However, many owners want to design an exclusive interior of the vehicle, as well as improve the running and traction characteristics. Consider the possibilities of improving this brand.

Modification of the body

Model 2104, tuning which is often aimed at upgrading the body, in this vein can be refined in three versions:

1. Easy upgrade - replacement of radiator grilles, installation of minimal body kit, light alloy wheels and tinting of windows.
2. Middle tuning involves the installation of new optics, handles and locks, as well as equipment with a complete body kit and airbrushing.
3. Deep refinement is the alteration of the body structure, with a change in clearance, doors, understating the roof.

Fantasy, creativity and a little skill will make it possible to give an ordinary model 2104, tuning which it is not difficult to perform, a kind of a car of a representative class. Particular attention should be paid to painting and polishing the bodywork. The installation of rare caps and chrome inserts harmoniously complement the overall picture of the improvement of the exterior.

Underestimate the interior by a few centimeters can be by cutting the pillars with the simultaneous refinement of the bumper and rear light elements. With a skilful approach, this solution will dramatically change the appearance of the car. However, it should be remembered that the low roof will have to get used to when landing.

Series 2104: tuning the salon

If you mean a thorough alteration of the interior, you should replace the steering wheel, shift knob. When choosing a rudder, you need to consider its compatibility with the presented car. Otherwise, the opposite effect may occur, which worsens certain technical parameters of the technique.

Most often in the cabin, folk craftsmen change seats and lining. Fortunately, it's quite possible to find analogues from high-quality modern materials. It is not necessary to use leather as an upholstery, as it is not cheap. Replacements or velours are quite suitable. Sports style lovers can install appropriate fixed seating seats and tightly fitted belts.

Also in the cabin, tuning by own hands (2104) is really to hold in part of the light elements. Improve the interior will help replace the backlight of the instrument panel with LEDs, as well as the installation of similar elements on the doors, lighting lamps. In the classic version of the improvement of the inner filling is the replacement of rugs, door panels and ceiling finishing.

Engine Improvement

Do not forget about the modernization of the power unit of your Quartet. Tuning 2104, a photo of which is presented below, can be produced in this way in two ways. In a simple version, use a boring cylinder, which allows you to increase the working volume of the motor. This also increases the maximum torque.

The second method is associated with an increase in the stroke of the elements of the piston group. It will be necessary to correctly select new connecting rods and replace the crankshaft. It's better to entrust such work to professionals. The upgraded car will be more difficult to keep on the road after increasing engine power. To prevent such unpleasant moments, the suspension should be modified. The optimal option will be the installation of a sports system that is subject to adjustment. A stiffer suspension, as well as an increased ground clearance, will allow better control of the car on the road while simultaneously increasing the maximum speed.

Brake and exhaust system

The feeding and discharging unit on the "quartet" can be improved by replacing the silencer with a straight-through version and installing a zero air filter, as well as a sports exhaust manifold of the "spider" type.

The new brake system will increase the safety of movement. To do this, it is sufficient to replace the drum elements with an efficient and more sensitive block with vented disks thirteen inches in size.

What else can I change?

As an option VAZ-2104, tuning which many perform independently, can be shortened.

The truncation of the body turns an already not particularly bulky car into a maneuverable subcompact, to which all narrow alleys and traffic jams are not terrible. As an experiment, some craftsmen transfer the spare parts to the trunk lid. The procedure of shortening an auto consists of several basic operations:

1. Cutting out a part of the passenger compartment.
2. Reduction of the length of the propshaft.
3. Re-laying of electric wiring, braking system.
4. Painting and polishing of the resulting masterpiece.

In practical terms, reducing the length of the vehicle of the brand in question will save a bit on fuel consumption, and the external transformation will surprise and admire many participants of the road flow.

In addition, you can update the optics of the "four", replacing it with xenon lenses with LED "angelic" supply. Slightly "pokoldovav" over the shape of the trunk, really mount the shortened rear brake lights, the type of American cars. To reduce the buildup of the body and increase the softness of the stroke will allow a pneumatic cushion installed in the inner part of the spring. Similar elements function, as well as with standard auto equipment.

In conclusion

The domestic car VAZ-2104, tuning which is capable of the majority of motorists, can be transformed beyond recognition. Low interior, new upholstery, body kit, original light elements and airbrushing are just some of the ways to improve your home vehicle.

It is not superfluous to strengthen the motor, by replacing it with a more powerful option or by boring the cylinders, and also strengthen the suspension assembly. Alternatively, you can install springs from the "Volga" or "Niva", which will more confidently overcome domestic roads, especially areas with holes and pits. Using imagination and the right approach, you will make from your "quartet" a real and unique masterpiece.
