The advertising campaign of AvtoVAZ, preceding the release of the new Lada Granta model, announced almost unlimited possibilities for tuning the car. Constructors and designers have made every effort to preserve functional characteristics brand, leave a wide "field of activity" for external and technical tuning.
But, it did not work out as expected. For reasons not entirely clear, the mass production of tuning parts was suspended. Therefore, the expectations of the majority of fans of VAZ cars did not come true. They tried to look for a way out of this situation in different ways: some abandoned the idea of improving the new Lada, others tried to squeeze the most useful out of the available available tools with their own hands. To help professional and "collective farm" tuners, software developers have prepared special programs for the virtual one, which allows you to try on all sorts of modifications specifically for your car.
Interestingly, the budget Lada Granta launched into mass production was already an object of factory tuning. The designers of the TMS-Sport company worked hard on its interior and exterior. Particular attention was paid to improving the quality characteristics of the engine: a turbine was installed on it, which increased the engine power to 210 hp. a sequential box gears of the modernized version and a limited slip differential greatly simplified driving.
Some changes were made to the exterior of the car: a properly installed and well-designed body kit made Lada more aesthetic and attractive appearance.
Methods of tuning designated by professionals Grants often become the objects of primary attention of car restylers. They install spoilers and bumpers from Lada Grants Sport, make voluminous overlays on the fenders and sills. Such changes qualitatively affect not only the appearance of the car, but also its functional characteristics - the aerodynamic performance of the model increases.

The first tuned grants - do not deny yourself anything!
The first budget Lada granta appeared on the mass market relatively recently. Therefore, there is relatively little data on possible tuning variations for this brand. But already on the basis of some photos taken from the Internet, one can draw conclusions - there really is a place for fans of improvements. And although there are not many factory parts for tuning on free sale, the cunning "tuners" have learned to get out even in such difficult situations.
The first part of the car that the hands of folk craftsmen touch is the body. On the streets of the city, you can already see cars repainted in the most unexpected colors - from matte black to bright pink. But the "crown" of all creations is still considered Grant, pasted over with a gold film. The machine "a la gold bar" is a kind of attempt to show your respectability and presentability. Indeed, such a tuning variation cannot fail to attract attention on the road, colorfully standing out in the crowd of ordinary factory stampings. About how we wrote earlier in garage conditions.
The second stage of reincarnation is the understatement of the car's landing. By the way, by the author this experiment is the same owner of the "gold" Lada Granta. Replacing the springs and standard shock absorber struts made it possible to at least visually bring the budget Russian car to the famous Audi R8. And although many drivers consider this stage of tuning to be something akin to suicide (given the state of our roads), the result obtained exceeded all expectations.
The stumbling block in the revision of the factory grants was the wheel rims. Most of the restylers agreed that the designers paid enough attention to the elaboration of the body. But light-alloy wheels in body color are still better to replace. And to complete the new look, you can use the stylish spoiler, borrowed from the sports version.
Well, and of course - where without the popular replacement of lighting fixtures! Different types backlights allow you to present the car in a completely new look. The headlights and foglights from the new "Kalina" installed on Grant look good. You can also limit yourself to a purely visual refinement of the optics with the help of.

Having exhausted the riot of imagination on body alterations, motorists began to modernize the interior. Some have used spare parts and interior parts from other brands. The more sophisticated and wealthy - they ordered designer chairs and upholstery from professional auto-ateliers. To create coziness and isolation in the car from the surrounding sounds, you can make door panels, roof, floor, wheel arches and car trunk.

AvtoVAZ's grandiose plans - dreaming is not harmful
Realizing that it was losing its tuning qualifications, AvtoVAZ decided to start producing a new proprietary system, which will be equipped with a neutralizer from the well-known company Eberspaecher. In the meantime, the plans did not become a reality, motorists were offered an alternative replacement - a chrome miracle, which in its expressiveness, beauty and power can easily compete with the well-known MIGs.
Improving the braking system is an indicator of qualified tuning
Brakes are not only an important part of a car's equipment, but also a rescue element in critical situations. Therefore, many tuning lovers are not limited to external changes, but pay special attention to brake system, change the standard disc brakes to new, more powerful ones. Of course, this pleasure is not cheap, and it cannot be assessed from the outside. But calmness and confidence while driving are provided to you.
Gas with pleasure
Along with all of the above advantages, this machine has one significant drawback - weak electronic pedal gas. The car stubbornly does not want to accelerate quickly, especially if there is an additional load or climbing a mountain. The installation of a booster on the gas pedal, as a specific and effective signal amplifier, allows us to eliminate this gap of engineers.
Installation and installation of this device does not require any additional skills or skills, it is easy and quick to carry out in a garage. With the help of standard connectors, the booster is attached between the gas pedal and the electronic unit. Practice has shown that the installation of such a booster allows you to eliminate the existing problem of car acceleration and speed up gear changes.
For more comfort the driver in the booster provides several economical and sports modes work. Those who have tested this device in practice claim that it has a positive effect on the reaction speed of a car. And the reasonable price of 4,300 rubles speaks in favor of booster tuning.
Granta Lux - almost perfect factory tuning
If tuning a car is not your strong point, but you really want to drive the most stylish, extravagant and comfortable car - choose the luxury version of Lada Granta, which was launched into mass production in 2012. The joint work of factory designers and constructors has been crowned with unheard of success - the car has almost all modern "bells and whistles" and does not require any additional modifications.
Factory Granta Lux is equipped with the function of heated front seats, has a mirror system with heating and electric drive. From exterior developments - alloy wheels, integrated fog lights, center console trim and chrome vents.
Re-flashing "brains" - the effect is palpable
Lada Granta is a versatile car. It can be effectively used for quiet movement in urban environments, or it can be upgraded to the popular sports version. Speed lovers do software flashing - a procedure that affects the speed of work on-board computer... The benefits of such a flashing are obvious - gaps on low revs, the average fuel consumption is reduced to 9.6 liters per 100 km.

Below we propose to get acquainted with the most successful (in our opinion) ways of tuning Lada Grants in the photo.
Such a move will help solve the problem on all thermostats, with the exception of Luzar products.
Refinement of the reversing lamp
Standard lamps reverse do not meet the needs of many owners of Lada Grant. They are especially hard to see in bad weather conditions, for example, in a powerful blizzard or in fog. Therefore, it is also necessary to look for a solution here. The best way out of the situation is to install a xenon lamp. Lighting devices of this kind are not a novelty for foreign cars, even in the "standard" configuration, but AvtoVAZ has not yet come to this. Therefore, you will have to modify the car on your own. Let's analyze the installation and connection for xenon H1 5000 K with an ignition unit. Installation is carried out as follows:
- We dismantle the old lighting fixture.
- Installing a new lamp.
- We connect the standard wires to the ignition unit, from which the xenon lamp is powered.
That, in fact, is all. A small investment of time and basic knowledge of the electrical circuit of Lada Granta will help you achieve a bright cold light that will be noticeable in any light. Now you can safely back up both at night and in fog or storm.
Domestic manufacturers have never taken into account the wishes of motorists when designing and manufacturing cars, guided only by instructions from the country's leadership and the relevant ministry. But the market economy has made its own adjustments and now the company's management is actively using the experience of the owners of VAZ cars and is trying to introduce constructive proposals from them into production. For example, the company's management promised to take into account a huge number of expressed wishes for improving the design of models and the Grant expressed by the owners of these cars in the near future. But what about those who have already purchased a car and face its shortcomings every day? Eliminate them yourself. Moreover, it will not be difficult to fix many of them with your own hands. So how can you improve your imperfect car?
The main problem that the owners of VAZ cars face is the lack of money for high-quality "pumping" of their car. Most car owners prefer to put up with them, but there are restless mechanics who bring their own hands into their iron horse the necessary changes, saving money and gaining invaluable experience in repairing your own car. Present to your attention rough plan work on self-tuning car Lada Granta.
Tips on how to start tuning your Lada Granta with your own hands and where to start customizing the car.
1. Carefully inspect the fuel supply pipes and the clutch cable. If there is direct contact between them, they must be isolated from each other. After that, pay attention to the steam and corrugated fuel pipes.
Interesting DIY tuning works are given in the article step-by-step instruction!
2. At the location of the washer reservoir windshield a piece of protective tape must be glued to the body, which will protect the tank body from wiping during operation.
3. Check the position of the harness located next to the level sensor brake fluid... This can be done by slightly turning the tank cap so that the battery does not touch the engine shield. If it becomes necessary to replace the harness, then after that you need to check the brake fluid level.
4. Inspect the ignition wires marked 2190-3724026. In case of damage to the insulation, insulate the damaged areas with 15-20 layers of electrical tape.
5. Check the diagnostic harness of the oxygen sensor. The manufacturer tries to minimize the sagging of the wires as much as possible, as a result of which mechanical damage may occur. To prevent the occurrence of damage in the future, it is necessary to reduce the tension on the wires by pulling them out of the passenger compartment a little.
6. Finally, you need to check everything brake pipes car, as they may be damaged due to too close relative positioning. To spread them a little to the sides, you can use a regular screwdriver.
All these simple "modifications" will eliminate some of the factory defects of the car and prevent the occurrence of serious malfunctions, the causes of which they can become.
