Finalization of the low panel of VAZ 21099. Tuning of side mirrors

The first option requires an improvement in the fuel supply system by a mechanical unit, namely the carburetor:

1. It is required to install a throttle body or diffuser of more updated models.
2. The springs located in the primary chamber on the throttle actuator should be carefully removed.

Tuning the carburetor of this kind significantly increases the air flow, allows the engine to "breathe", and significantly increases its dynamics and power characteristics.

The second option provides for the purchase and installation of a special unit - a controller. This device is a software carrier. Thanks to this, it is possible to increase the indicators of power, torque and, of course, dynamics.

Tuning the VAZ-21099 suspension

It is necessary to update the VAZ suspension according to the scheme known to many car lovers:

• high-quality installation of two-piece shock absorbers;
• the product of the replacement of the cross-type stabilizers;
• installation of updated brake discs;
• installation of an updated hub;
• product of replacement of hinges with spherical ones;
• carrying out the procedure for lifting the suspension by installing advanced versions of the springs.

Salon tuning for VAZ-21099

This procedure conditionally consists of two stages:

1. Replacing the seats with new ones / upgrading the standard front ones. For example, summing up the heating system, covering it with high-quality modern fabric.
2. Interior trim renewal. Such innovations are easy to make on your own or by purchasing a new set in a ready-made form.
3. Installation of curly carbon inserts (you can choose wooden, plastic, chrome, etc.) on the side panels of car doors. Thanks to this, the car inside will look more representative and chic.

Finally, it is worth to draw the attention of readers to the fact that tuning the VAZ-21099 interior is independently more a creative process than a technical one. Here you will need to show a lot of patience, accuracy and accuracy in decisions, in order to get high-quality tuning as a result, which can make a proper impression both on the car owner himself and on strangers.

Standard dashboard VAZ 21099

Do-it-yourself tuning of the VAZ 21099 salon provides for the dismantling and installation of the europanel. It should be noted that a high VAZ panel is removed longer than a low structure of this type. In any case, the following tools are needed for such tuning:

• screwdriwer set;
• nuts and washers;
• current indicator;
• wires.

Step-by-step tuning steps

Before dismantling the VAZ 21099 panel, you will need to manually remove the terminals from the power supply. The steering wheel trim is then removed. The nut should be unscrewed so that its end is flush with the same element of the steering column shaft. You cannot turn it off immediately. Then tuning the VAZ 21099 panel provides for the removal of the steering wheel.

After unscrewing the 6 fixing screws of the lower casing, you will need to remove it. The lining of the ignition switch is dismantled. The next step is to loosen the bolt that secures the base of the switches. The last element is removed from the shaft, and 2 blocks with the corresponding wires are disconnected.

This will require marking the washer and wiper switches. The block with wires is disconnected from the corresponding levers and direction indicators. The suction should be pulled out so that there is traction. At the same time, the handle of the first unit is pulled towards itself. Then on the panel, the bolts for fixing the console overlay are turned out and the overlay itself is removed.

A cigarette lighter cartridge and an ashtray are pulled out of the socket. The VAZ torpedo is equipped with a heater fan, which will need to be removed. It is recommended to use a screwdriver for this. The block and two wires are disconnected from the fan switch. They light up the Europanel.

Tuning instrument panel

It is also necessary to disconnect the handles of the headlight hydrocorrector and the light switch. After unscrewing the nuts, the corresponding switch is pushed into the panel. The side nozzles are removed with a screwdriver. The high panel provides for the flap of the lining fixing bolts. The last elements are located on both sides of the torpedo.

Subsequent tuning is carried out taking into account the removal of the radio socket. The existing audio equipment is pre-dismantled. Then, using a screwdriver, the latches are removed and the cover is lifted. The connector and wires are disconnected from the cigarette lighter. A similar step is carried out in relation to the backlight and the alarm switch.

The final stage of work

The high VAZ panel is dismantled carefully, as there are latches on the left, which quickly break. After disconnecting the block from other elements, the entire instrument cluster is dismantled. The final step is to disconnect the cable from the speedometer. If the europanel is equipped with additional equipment, then you need to be even more careful. Tuning the torpedo provides for disconnecting the pads from the following units:

• onboard control system;
• ignition relay;
• the remaining instrument panel;
• backlight lamps.

You will need to unscrew the screws for the lower fixing of the torpedo on both sides. Using a screwdriver, the plug is pulled out and the screws for the side fixation of the torpedo are unscrewed. The Europanel is filmed at the final stage. Installation of a new structure of this type is carried out in the reverse order. Upon completion of this procedure, the operation of the switches is verified.

Often, tuning a VAZ torpedo involves dismantling the plastic and removing the panel board. In this case, you will need the following tools and materials:

• soldering iron;
• europanel or insert;
• ultraviolet light bulb;
• wires;
• light bulbs;
• cartridges;
• glue;
• marker.

Initially, you will need to remove the old Euro panel, remove the glass and the existing edging. The insert and arrows are carefully pulled out. Particular attention should be paid to the new insert. It is recommended to make holes with a certain margin. This will prevent the arrows from sticking.

Further tuning is based on dismantling the standard backlight. This can break the plastic. The board is initially dismantled. Experts advise to pre-apply the existing connection and connection diagram on paper.

The standard illumination is replaced by neon lamps. Neon is glued to the panel. A plastic protection is fixed on top. In this case, you need to check whether this structure is securely held. The block with which the neon lighting is controlled should be glued to the europanel. To do this, you can use glue or double-sided tape.

This tuning is easy to do with your own hands. An important point is the installation of the panel and the correct connection of its devices to the network. For this, auto mechanics recommend using books on the repair and operation of the VAZ 21099.

As always, let's start our tuning with the most important element of any car.

Engine tuning

Most domestic cars have many flaws that reduce the power of the engine and chassis. So, for example, a thermostat can work perfectly while driving to cool the engine, but as soon as the heating system is turned on, the work of this device immediately goes out of control. In this case, there are problems with engine overheating, complete failure of the car or wear of parts. The thermostat can be adjusted slightly, having previously understood the cause of this problem. In the heating system, when switched on, the heating liquid and the coolant are mixed, due to which the cooling level in the thermostat drops. This is especially true with the onset of frost when the coolant already sinks to the bottom of the tank. The best option would be to install a pipe where the thermal element is located in the thermostat. In addition, you will need to close the hole at the water pump. This allows you to control the incoming fluid when the heating system is turned on. After these changes, you can see that even at an elevated interior temperature, the degree in the engine will not exceed 78C, and this is optimal for its operation.

In production, it is often possible to replace, as a defect is allowed when installing a generator belt, or, more simply, a timing belt. This makes the engine less powerful and also greatly reduces driving safety. In order to fix this problem, you need to replace the belt with a new one, while the work can be done with your own hands. The main thing is not to make a common mistake when the belt is kinked or twisted, which significantly reduces its service life. At the beginning of work, before removing the alternator belt, you need to remove all parts that prevent its dismantling. These are the steering pump, belt pulleys and air filter. After this procedure, the alternator belt is removed by first unscrewing the two bolts that hold it, and the work is carried out in the reverse order when installing a new part. It is recommended to carry out work only with knowledge of the matter, so as not to damage the crankshaft mechanism while removing the timing belt.

The basics of mechanical tuning

To improve the dynamics of the engine, many make a variety of upgrades to one or another part. So, for example, in a Nine engine, drivers often replace valve bushings. The new bushings have many benefits. The first thing to look out for is their light weight and polished case, which makes this part wear less quickly. The lighter weight prevents the valve from hanging, which allows you to squeeze power and high rpm from the engine without interruption in engine operation. Engine power is increased by improved cylinder purging.

The problems of domestic automotive production are also rooted in the large weight, reciprocating and rotating parts, which, with their large mass, increase the wear of the rest of the engine parts, and besides, the machine's power either drops or failures occur. The best way to fix problems like this is to simply lighten these parts, and this applies not only to valves, connecting rods, and piston replacement. The weight of the crankshaft can also be reduced by replacing the flywheel. The weight of the standard flywheel is 6.6 kilograms, and the new parts are understated in weight to 5.2. Replacing the old flywheel with a new one makes the engine dynamic, dips disappear at increased power and speed, in addition, the engine responds faster to closing and opening the throttle. The rest of the engine parts increase wear resistance.

Tuning carburetor nines

On other VAZ 21099 models, you can replace the carburetor with an improved one, but in this series such work cannot but require high costs, for the replacement of additional parts and the work itself. You can make small modifications to the jet system, or play with the valve system, but this will only slightly improve the performance of the car.

Suspension tuning

In any car, after the engine, the main system is the chassis. In domestic cars, it is made, well, but still, when driving, you can feel some flaws that can be easily corrected on your own. A common problem is the breakage of the corkscrew ring, which needs to be replaced from time to time and is done with your own hands. At the same time, many turn to specialists, not knowing how to get a grenade in order to get a broken corkscrew ring and replace it. It goes without saying that it is difficult to get the grenades and if you do it wrong, it can be damaged, but the easiest way will be to simply disassemble it into parts and carefully dismantle it, everything in parts. After installing the grenade back into its native nest, at the slightest touch, this part may fall out. This happens due to the fact that a new corkscrew ring is not installed to fix it.

The second action that can improve the chassis of the VAZ 21099 is replacing the clutch and this work can also be done in normal garage conditions. Of course, there may be a problem due to the lack of a lift, but money is saved. The first step is to dismantle the clutch itself and the gearbox. The clutch consists of 4 parts, namely the driven plate and the pressure plate, the spring diaphragm and, of course, the clutch flywheel. During dismantling, problems may arise that are associated with the fact that the driven disc can fall out of the flywheel and fall, while the part will be damaged, so this must be monitored. It is better to use a screwdriver especially when removing the cover mount and loosening the bolts to block the flywheel. After dismantling, an inspection of the pressure plate and flywheel is carried out for chips, damage or simple wear. Naturally, this should be done if only part of the clutch is replaced, and not the entire system is installed. If, nevertheless, scratches and damage are noticeable, it is better to replace the spare parts. After that, it is worth inspecting the diaphragm spring and support rings for damage and, if any, replace the parts. The clutch assembly is carried out in the reverse order, but remember that the driven disc is installed in the flywheel, the pressure disc with the least protruding part of the hub. After that, you need to tighten all six bolts tightly.

A common problem, perhaps, is the tapping of the wheels when cornering. The reason for this is the already damaged or defective CV joint, which must be replaced with a new one, and this must be done immediately after the onset of the symptom so as not to damage the rest of the chassis. There are 3 types of CV joints made of different materials. The first material and the most common is the rubber material, which is also used in the factory to make a car. For rubber materials, large negative aspects are not noticed, but there are few positive ones, namely, a short service life, and, of course, a large number of rejects. Silicone CV joints are rarely used in production, or rather, only by special order, but even in ordinary life, parts made from such material are not recommended to be bought, due to the fact that the silicone dries up, breaks and no longer fulfills the assigned tasks. Polyurethane material has proven itself the best, and now, even after buying a new car, it is better to replace the CV joint with an analogue of a similar model. This will give the car's driving dynamics when cornering and high speed. In addition, polyurethane withstands external and chemical damage, which increases its service life and wear resistance.

External tuning VAZ 21099

The external tuning of the VAZ 21099 is far from ideal, but fortunately, modern times have presented drivers with many ways to fix it. So, for example, repainting the interior and the outside of the car is great both after buying directly from the assembly line, and when purchasing a car from hands, when the paint has almost faded. Painting can be done independently, but this will require a spray gun and a garage with strong power outlets, as well as large in volume, so that gases do not accumulate.

Good ventilation is also recommended, but you can do with open doors in good and not windy weather. The car must first be prepared, namely, remove the layer of paint in order for the new layer to lay down smoothly. In addition, after the primary paint coat has been removed with sandpaper, the body must be checked for damage to the primer. If there are dents or cracks, then it is better to prime this place in order to prevent the spread of corrosion, which can damage the new applied layer of paint in the future. After the putty and priming work is completed, a layer of paint is applied, and in several stages. The paint is applied three times, and after each time you need to give a little time for everything to dry. In the salon, the car is painted in a similar way, but all the furniture will have to be dismantled, and the cracks and the dashboard must be covered with a newspaper or better with a film.

After completing all the work, the machine cannot be used immediately, since the paint must completely dry out. Works are carried out exclusively in spring or summer, when the temperature is high and there is no high concentration of moisture.

Further, the car body after repainting or already on the native layer, you can apply various kinds of films, which are now sold in large quantities at car markets. Naturally, vinyl is the preferred choice for drivers due to its wide variety, easy installation and low cost. Vinyl film is installed according to the window tinting method. More precisely, the surface is first degreased, and then a vacuum is created with the help of a hair dryer and a film is applied, which adheres tightly to the body. Its durability is not as great as that of other types, but due to its low cost, it can often be replaced with a new one. In addition, with the help of vinyl film, you can perfectly hide places, scratches or chips of the car. There is also a chrome film, which is often used to apply only to some parts. It does not stick to the surface, but is simply pulled over by parts such as the hood, bumpers or fenders. Previously, of course, the body kit should be removed, although installation is practiced without dismantling the body kit.

The appearance of the car can be improved by using small tuning parts, such as installing plastic rims, installing a spoiler or similar parts that transform the car. In addition, there are details that not only give the car a new look, but can also help the driver himself, or rather, make the car more functional. These parts include the refrigerator mounted on the roof of the car.

Headlights VAZ 21099

Tuning VAZ headlights is a great way to give the car a new and aesthetically beautiful appearance, and at the same time improve the quality of driving at night. OEM headlights use conventional filament components, requiring drivers to find and replace light sources with halogen or xenon bulbs. Xenon, as a rule, is a great option, but it has not been used for a long time due to the ban in accordance with GOST, and simply because they blind the cars in front. It is best to use GT series lamps, which are fitted to racing cars. Such a light source is distinguished by a glow of 4000-5000K, while it is focused on the section of the road that the driver should see, and does not spread over the entire area. Cars coming in the opposite direction do not get any discomfort from such a glow. Lovers of xenon need not get upset, but rebuild the headlight box for a new glow. It's about making angel eyes, or rather, installing 5 sockets in a circle, and using lower power xenon lamps. This creates a favorable and even glow on the road, and the car itself takes on a very attractive look.

Another headlight improvement is the installation of fog components on the rear of the car. Often in the garage, there may be an incompleteness, but one fog lamp is for sure, and it can just be used to solve the problem. To install additional lighting, you only need a small length of wire and a relay with a chip. It is better to take the place for installation on the left, since it is on this side that the driver is located and so he will better see the illuminated area for parking.

Bumpers

Replacing the body kit of a VAZ 21099 is a complicated matter, but at the same time it can make the look of the car new and beautiful without any problems. There are many ways to update the body kit of the car, or rather, the bumper, but the best thing is to completely replace the parts. You can, for example, borrow bumpers from old VAZ models. It will be inexpensive for the equipment, and the installation is easy to carry out, right at the manufacturer's service centers. In order to choose a bumper, its color and shape, you should contact the service center. Of course, on the one hand, this is an ideal option, for those who want to change the look of the car while doing it with little blood on the part of monetary losses. At the same time, the type of car may become a little newer, but it will not differ much from the previous one due to the similarity of the shape and style of the body kit, many models of the VAZ series. It is best to pay attention to body kits that are made to order, especially for the VAZ 21099 or for universal types.

So, for example, a body kit for this model, a foreign manufacturer called Miller, is very popular. The bumpers are made of fiberglass and there are many benefits to be found here. This also applies to the lighter weight, which contributes to the increase in power and fuel consumption. In addition, fiberglass is a material that will withstand all external factors for a long time. Chemical and mechanical influences do not, however, affect the appearance of this part, and even temperature drops, which is normal for the Russian region, cannot affect the quality of fiberglass. Fiberglass bumpers are handcrafted in three layers. The first layer is the main material, then comes the polyester resin, on which plastic is already applied in order to completely hide the fiberglass, and already during painting the last layer is applied more evenly. These bumpers are more expensive than domestic ones, but at the same time they are perfect for this car model and they can even be made to order.

Tuning side mirrors

The standard VAZ 21099 side mirrors are far from high-quality products. Drivers often complain that they cannot drive them in a modern way, right from the cabin, the side mirrors do not have a heating system, and even mechanical tuning has its drawbacks in that there is a limit. It goes without saying that this affects most of all safety while driving. The problem is solved by replacing the mirrors with new ones and this is quite simple to do. It is surprising that many mirrors already with built-in modern technologies are of universal types in their structure, and therefore it will not take a lot of time to find equipment for installation on the VAZ 21099 model.

Front panel and instrument panel

When the classic style of the car's interior begins to get bored, and at the same time it is already faded and outdated a long time ago, it needs to be updated or replaced. The first thing you need to pay attention to is the dashboard of the car, which most often comes into the driver's field of vision. There is, of course, the easiest option in terms of time, namely the purchase of a new dashboard and its subsequent installation, but as practice says, this is a costly business. You can update the old instrumentation system with your own hands, and this does not require a large investment. Nowadays there are a lot of stickers, equipment for creating a new tint, and just the work is easy to do. The first step is to dismantle all the devices on the panel. The work will be carried out on the example of a tachometer.

To begin with, the flaring of the tachometer rim is removed with the subsequent removal of the glass. Further, it is necessary to remove the arrow and here difficulties may arise with the standard equipment, where the arrow often sits quite firmly. If after two minutes it is impossible to dismantle the pointer with your hands, then you do not need to make efforts so as not to bend it or break it, but it is better to spray it with a small amount of WD-40. After that, the arrow will become pliable. After the work done, all dashboards need to be left alone and start looking for stickers. Naturally, you can buy them at the bazaar, but you can also make them yourself. All it takes is a good printer to print.

Craftsmen to work in programs for editing pictures can improve a previously downloaded photo. The printed sticker is installed with glue, while it is better to use a waterproof adhesive due to the frequent ingress of moisture under the glass of the dashboard. After the entire procedure, you can end the work or continue and install a new backlight, replacing the standard lamps with LEDs. There is one secret that allows you to make the LED light not directional and diffused, which is much better on the dashboard, and at the same time does not distract the driver while driving. For this, the heads of the LED lamps are cut off, and transparent glue is applied in their place. After checking all the equipment, the instrument panel is installed back into place.

Luggage compartment

Tuning the luggage compartment is not an easy job, if only for the reason that the driver often simply does not know what to modify in it. It goes without saying that there are many ways to make the luggage compartment better, but this is usually the imagination and work of amateur drivers. So, for example, for those who do not carry sacks of potatoes in the trunk and simply do not use it, the installation of a speaker system is suitable. The work is done easily and often independently. First you need to make a case from plywood for installing speakers. It is better to pre-cover the plywood sheets with some kind of fabric for aesthetic beauty. Next, holes are cut in the plywood for installing new speakers. They can be connected first of all to the central buffer, and only then to the power supply. By the way, even headlights are suitable for such work, which just give out the necessary voltage.

Tuning salon VAZ 21099

You can make the VAZ 21099 the fastest and most powerful by changing all the parts in the engine and installing new equipment on top, but people are always looking at the appearance of the car and the state of the interior. I would like to note that tuning the salon is a rather expensive business, but after the end of the tuning, often the drivers do not regret the work done. There is a whole lot of how you can update the car from the inside. Perhaps you need to start with plastic bases, and this applies not only to the front dashboard, glove compartment, but also to the plastic panels installed on the doors. You can buy new panels from the manufacturer specifically for this car model, but it's best to just wrap the plastic panels with chrome or vinyl wrap. The panels will need to be dismantled first, which is quite difficult. If you sheathe the plastic with leather material, then first you will need to cut out a pattern, but it is difficult to do this so that the material lies flat and does not gather in waves. Therefore, it is better to use a chrome film that is easy to apply. The front plastic is very difficult to dismantle, so it is better to paint it. You can paint the panels completely, or you can create contrast. To do this, you need to close the places that are not recommended to be painted with newspaper or better with film. It goes without saying that the job is not for beginners, but it can still transform the car.

The interior of the car is being renewed gradually and one should not forget about the small details, for example, the steering wheel trim. The steering wheel, very quickly due to constant friction with hands, is erased and loses its beautiful former appearance. There may be three methods to fix this problem. First of all, you can simply remove the old trim and sheathe the steering wheel with new material. It is advisable to choose leather that can withstand not only constant contact with hands and high temperatures, especially in summer, when the sun's rays break through the windshield. You can simply buy covers that are ready-made for the steering wheel, which are tightened with laces and practically nothing is visible from the old material, but the central part remains open and a contrast that is unpleasant for the eye can be created. There is also a third method and the most expensive one, namely the complete replacement of the old steering wheel with a new one. The problem is that new steering wheels are cheap, but they are installed only in services, which means you have to fork out.

It goes without saying that there is also an internal covering, such as the floor, ceiling, armrests. You need to work with these parts in the same style as with the panels. That is, you can dismantle all the parts and repaint them or cover them with fabric, and you can choose the most common fabric, because the roof of the car is not strongly exposed to mechanical stress. During roof repairs, a heating system can be installed. This is useful if children often ride in the car, and in winter it is no secret that it is quite cold in the car.

The final touch regarding tuning the car's interior is furniture, which, like the steering wheel, constantly comes into contact with something, which means it is erased, torn and burned out by the sun. Replacing the upholstery is not easy, but nothing is impossible. To begin with, it is customary to remove all the casing from old furniture, while dismantling the springs and foam rubber. It is recommended to work only in a respirator, since the foam rubber has, most likely, turned into dust over a long time. The springs can be replaced partially or completely, depending on their condition. It is better to buy a full set of springs to be sure that after the repair they will not fire. The material can be chosen very different and there are no problems with the variety on the market. It is necessary to choose not only the color scheme, but also the material itself. There are ordinary fabrics that are often suitable for their price, but as far as quality is concerned, they are inferior. Ordinary versatile fabrics quickly fade in the sun and tear. Better to give preference to either leather or a special material for upholstery. It goes without saying that at a price they are much more expensive, but on the other hand, you can be sure that for a long time, you will not need to make repairs in the car's interior again.

An alternative option for changing the style of the cabin, and in particular for the furniture, is to use slipcovers. Naturally, their use is far from the performance and beauty that appears after repairing the car's furniture, but this method can save both time and a lot of money. So, for example, buying model covers can be compared in price with the usual work of furniture repair, but it saves a lot of time. The high price is due to the fact that furniture covers are made only by hand, having previously measured all the seats. These covers have no negative qualities, except for the price. They are perfect for the seats, they do not roll and do not gather in waves, they can withstand all chemical and mechanical influences, which is especially good, because the covers often need to be washed. The material is used of high quality, beautiful and comfortable both for passengers and for the driver himself.

For those who do not really want to spend money on tuning the VAZ 21099 interior, but still the old and worn design is already starting to hurt the eye, buying universal car covers is suitable. The advantages of universal covers are few, since they are made of ordinary and low-quality fabric, but due to the low price, people can afford to replace the material every year.

Many car owners believe that tuning should first of all stand out and emphasize its presence. Therefore, they mold on the car everything that they find at the local car market. But you can do something useful and convenient. And first of all for myself. To make it more pleasant to while away the time in the car, to stand on cold and snowy winter evenings in traffic jams. Others, for sure, can immediately think about how to change the terrible low or explosive high torpedo for a foreign car or something else from this opera. But after all, we only look at the torpedo and the instrument panel, but we are in direct contact with the steering wheel. You can, of course, go to the local car market and buy yourself a brand new Turkish or Chinese instead of a frankly wretched standard steering wheel (both old in the spirit of a penny, and newer with a large signal). Moreover, with flashy inserts in red or blue. BUT you won't be surprised that there is zero skin and that after a while it will peel off, peel off, etc. ...

We offer for your consideration such a refinement as a steering wheel padding with leather, and at the same time the installation of a steering wheel heating. The latter is very important for residents of the northern regions, and such are decent. Although you can restrict yourself to just covering the steering wheel with leather. And if you have cold winters or very cold winters, then coupled with auto start, this revision is generally a fairy tale. I left a warm house, got into a warm car, took up a warm steering wheel ... I don't need to convince anyone that even if the interior is heated for 15-20 minutes, the steering wheel rim will not warm up ............ .....

We have previously published an article here. Now we publish a similar material for the owners of "chisels" with a high torpedo.

Considering the sad glory of this torpedo as the most explosive, it is quite easy to understand why the owners of these machines are willing to spend a lot of time just to silence it. Removing a high torpedo has almost 2 times more steps than removing a low one .............

VAZ is such a machine that every owner who is trying to make it even a little better will sooner or later come to the conclusion that it is necessary to remove the torpedo. In order to glue it against a squeak or glue the wall of the engine compartment behind it with a vibroplast. Or even decide to replace it ... There are enough options!

Disconnect the wire from the "-" terminal of the storage battery. Set the wheels to the straight-ahead position. Disconnect the rod from the carburetor air damper drive lever and the speedometer drive cable from the gearbox ...................

Do-it-yourself car tuning is a popular trend today, which is an analogue of foreign specialized design studios. The cars of the domestic auto industry are most often subjected to modernization. Often these are models that are called classics. Model 21099 or "Ninety-ninth" was no exception, as the car was nicknamed by the people.

VAZ 21099 is a symbol of its era - 90 years. This model can be confidently called a breakthrough of the domestic auto industry in the field of car design. A fundamentally new design, advanced equipment, good driving characteristics for urban conditions conquered hundreds of thousands of motorists. To buy "Ninety-ninth" is to show your high social status in the 90s. And today this car can often be found on domestic roads. Do-it-yourself tuning on a VAZ 21099 allows you to create truly exclusive modifications that will become the pride of the owner.

Traditionally, for the domestic auto industry, the car has a huge potential for modernization. At the same time, the price for tuning a VAZ 21099 will not be high, since many improvements can be made with the help of improvised means and a creative approach to solving problems. But even if you buy components, an exclusive appearance, non-standard interior design and advanced characteristics of the VAZ 21099 will pay off all financial costs.

Tuning the external VAZ 21099 will not require impressive financial investments, since the appearance of the car changes quite easily by replacing, improving the following elements:

• Radiator grille
• Hood
• Opticians
• Doors
• Wings

Tuning the salon is also relatively easy, thanks to the simple device, the layout of the interior. This is facilitated by a large number of options for its design using specialized and improvised means.

The domestic auto industry offers 2 options for upgrading the VAZ 21099 engine:

• Carburetor improvement
• Injector flashing

In the first case, it is necessary to perform simple actions aimed at improving the fuel supply system by means of a mechanical unit - a carburetor:

• Installing an advanced modification of the throttle valve or diffuser. It is advisable to install samples with more than standard markings
• Removing the spring from the primary chamber throttle actuator

Such tuning of the carburetor on the VAZ 21099 will increase the air flow, enable the engine to breathe, increase its power and dynamic characteristics.

In case of flashing the settings of the VAZ 21099 injector, you need to buy and install a special unit - the controller. This device is a carrier of software that will increase power, torque and dynamics. So, the tuning of the VAZ 21099 injector engine is simply carried out.

Studies have shown that you should not chase expensive devices, they are not very effective and are often inferior in terms of power gain and dynamics to controllers with standard programs.

From the foregoing, we can conclude that the chip tuning of the VAZ 21099 engine does not give an impressive increase in the technical characteristics of the power unit. Therefore, you should not spend money on this operation.

With regard to direct intervention in the VAZ 21099 engine systems, then they are not necessary. The family of these motors turned out to be surprisingly successful for the designers. They have good dynamic performance as standard and are fast enough for the highway and urban conditions. You can save on this, but if the car is planning to participate in sports competitions, then the following operations will not interfere:

• Replacing standard valve guides with bronze
• Installation of lightweight valves
• Engine intake and exhaust system modernization - installation of advanced manifold modifications
• Turbocharging the engine. At the same time, do not forget about installing a valve to relieve excess pressure and turbocharged pistons with a "puddle" of volume from 16.5 to 20 cm3
• To increase the service life of units and moving parts of the engine, a crankcase gas trap should be installed. It will get rid of destructive carbon deposits on the surface of spare parts

The implementation of all of the above actions will be a useful school for those who want to explore all the versatility of tuning with their own hands.

Do-it-yourself tuning of the VAZ 21099 suspension is carried out according to the standard scheme:

• Installation of rigid shock absorbers. It is better to use a two-section version of them.
• Installing new brake discs and hubs
• Replacing the cross stabilizers
• Replacing native hinges with spherical
• Carrying out a suspension lift by installing advanced versions of the springs. You can also raise the rear of the car using the pads for the standard springs

More attention should be paid to disks and rubber. Many experts claim that light alloys are much more reliable and practical than their iron counterparts. This is only partially true. The main advantage of alloy wheels is their low weight. But this figure does not give a significant advantage in terms of handling and dynamics. At the same time, light alloys are less practical than iron discs.

Under an impressive load, for example, when they fall into a pit, they most often burst and need expensive repairs using argon welding. While the iron discs can be adjusted in place with a hammer and continue driving. In conditions of extreme off-road and snowy roads, light-alloy wheels are inferior in practicality to their steel counterparts. Therefore, it is recommended to have both sets of discs and install them depending on road and weather conditions.

Tuning the interior of the VAZ 21099 is an important stage in the transformation of the car into an exclusive sample. It can be divided into 2 stages:

• Installation of new or modernization of the standard front seats. For example, you can bring heating to them, and the seats themselves can be covered with fabric or leather. At the same time, buying covers will become a simple, but impractical solution for large-scale tuning.
• Replacement of the interior trim. It is not difficult to do this, it is enough to remove the old one and fit the interior with a new one. You can do the trim yourself or buy a ready-made kit. A good design solution would be to install curly inserts made of carbon, fiberglass, wood, high-quality plastic or chrome elements on the side panels of the doors.

Do-it-yourself tuning of a VAZ 21099 salon is a creative process that requires precision and patience.

The angular VAZ 21099 torpedo, which squeaks disgustingly, needs to be replaced, even if a complete modernization of the car is not planned. An excellent alternative to the standard model will be an advanced, streamlined version from foreign cars. The owner will only have to install it by modifying the configuration and mounting system.

By replacing the torpedo, you can immediately tune the VAZ 21099 instrument panel, since the standard unit is unlikely to fit a new torpedo and will have to be refined. It is easier and better to install a new dashboard, the main thing is that it fits the connectors.

One of the fundamental points of tuning the VAZ 21099 is the improvement of the bumpers. Recycling them radically changes the appearance of the car. There are several ways to upgrade bumpers:

• Installing a bumper from another model or buying a sports, tuning version specifically for the VAZ 21099
• Manufacturing of an exclusive model using construction foam, epoxy resin, grinding materials. The complexity of this method is the derivation of symmetry, the creation of proportions. It also requires creativity.
• The easiest way to improve is the bumper cover VAZ 21099. But they are more of a decor element and are used to create a complete, harmonious composition

The smooth, flat hood of the Ninety-ninth offers ample opportunities for modernization. Using a metal-cutting tool - a grinder, welding and putty from a standard hood, you can make a sample worthy of a Batmobile with gills and air intakes. The tinsmith's skills allow the hood to be configured in a variety of ways. In extreme cases, it can be pasted over with a carbon film.

Helpful advice

When upgrading the hood, you should first draw what you want to get, then transfer your plan in the form of markings to the surface of the engine compartment cover. It is imperative to check the markings several times and only after that you can start improving the hood.

The modernization of the luggage compartment depends solely on the skills of the car owner and his imagination. There are at least several dozen options for completing the luggage compartment. The most popular is the installation of a powerful speaker system. Also, a small LCD panel is often mounted on the inside of the boot lid. Some people install it on a mechanism that pops the monitor when the trunk lid is opened.

It should be remembered that such modifications take up almost all the space, so you will have to sacrifice the ability to load things or a tool in the trunk.

Another way to improve the luggage compartment, more precisely, its lid can be considered the installation of a wing - spoiler. In addition to being aesthetic, it has a practical function - it creates downforce at high speeds. It is necessary to choose a model that will harmoniously fit into the exterior of the car. An awkward model can spoil all efforts aimed at creating an exclusive, stylish car design.

Optics tuning on the VAZ 21099 is mainly carried out by installing specialized overlays on the headlights. Installation of LED strips is an effective and simple means of decoration. A practical option would be to install halogen headlights. On the VAZ 21099, the refinement of standard optical devices is most often carried out. Replacing them with new models is a laborious process, without which you can easily do with improvised means.

Tuning the rear lights on the VAZ 21099 is carried out in the same way as the modernization of the headlights.
