Any car requires improvement and refinement,especially if it is produced at the factory ZAZ. Tuning ZAZ-1102 "Tavria" is a refinement of the famous Ukrainian car, which received the status of a nationwide. Low cost, ease of repair and maintenance made it available even for people who have a small salary. But sadly, what the price is and the quality, so many car enthusiasts do Tavria tuning themselves.
Outdoor body kits
On the outside of almost all the details of tuningmade by hand and on their own. With the entry of the ZAZ-1103 into the market, many domestic manufacturers of parts began to manufacture lightweight body kits, but they do not provide aerodynamic qualities. Therefore, tuning "Tavria" do-it-yourself became more relevant.
The first step is the finalization of the front andrear bumpers. The material can be used plastic, fiberglass and automotive clay, which are easy to process, and after taking the form it holds it well.
The side sills are made of plastic orsheet metal, the best for the production of aluminum remains. From the same material can be made wheel arch extensions, but here is usually used mounting foam, which is then puttied and painted.
On the tailgate, you can install a rear window spoiler for the brand "Tavria". Tuning version parts can be purchased at the automotive markets or in specialized stores.
Альтернативной оптики для ЗАЗ-1102 не produced. But motorists have found a way out: cheap Chinese xenon is installed in standard lenses - this is also tuning. “Tavria”, the photo of which is presented in the article, with the entry of LED technology from the motorists, began to receive regular headlights with the addition of running lights.
Paint and airbrush
Another upgrade option and improvebecomes painted in metallic or mother of pearl, as well as airbrushing. In this case, "Tavria", the tuning of which is not always cost-effective, becomes colorful and stands out among other cars.
In Ukraine, it is not often possible to meet ZAZ-1102 in the author's painting or with drawings. Such cars are often presented as collectible items at various exhibitions and tuning forums.
Interior tuning
Since the price of the car is about1000-2000 dollars, then for “ZAZ Tavria” tuning of the cabin becomes unprofitable, since you can invest the same money in the material itself. Motorists found a way easier. Instead, the regular seats are set from the Opel Vectra B. They ideally become regular fixtures, and their value in the automotive market is negligible.
Tuning salon "Tavria" does not end on onereplacing the seats. Upholstery and carpet are replaced with carpet, the color of which is chosen by the owner. The instrument panel is sheathed with colored self-adhesive film produced by the Kharkov Polyethylene Plant. Illumination of the instrument cluster is replaced by the method of soldering LEDs into a digital circuit.
Engine tuning
For the Ukrainian car "Tavria" engine tuning exists in two versions:
- Complete replacement of the engine and gearbox on the engine of the VAZ-2106 or 2108.
- Finalization of the piston group and injection.
The first option for many is quite familiar:Old MeMZ-245 motor is removed and a new one is installed. At the same time, it is necessary to replace many details at the same time, from the mountings to the elements of the fuel system and cooling system.
Второй вариант тоже не совсем прост, как кажется at first sight. The engine will have to be dismantled and subjected to boring-honingovka under the new pistons. Usually, instead of the standard ones, lightweight ones are installed from the manufacturer ATI (Poland) with a diameter of 75 mm.
Auto intake and exhaust chamfer“Tavria”, which tuning is done only on a special machine, is reduced by 0.4 mm, which makes it possible to inject fuel into the combustion chamber earlier. Also to add power you can install two carburetor "Solex". But it should be borne in mind that consumption will grow by 50% from the standard.
Last added power optionbecomes the installation kit exhaust kit. This is an expensive pleasure, and therefore the owners of the Ukrainian car "Tavria" do not carry out tuning of this system. The only thing that remains affordable is the muffler tips, the range of which is huge.
Tuning of the chassis
Tuning chassis "Tavria" can be donein a total way or partial. So, first of all replaced the hub, wheels and tires. Next, you can install new springs and shock absorbers. For fans of reduced clearance they will have to be cut by 2 cm.
Of course, you can buy a full set of tuningthe running gear, which is presented by the Ukrainian manufacturer “Bogdan”, but in terms of its pricing policy is an exorbitant cost that does not justify the investment. Therefore, some elements of the VAZ suspension are often installed, which makes the Tavria more stable on the road surface.
Brake system adaptation
An integral part of the modernization of the chassisthe adaptation of the brake system to the standard of the Tavria car remains. Tuning the brakes becomes an indispensable part of the refinement, since this system from the factory is not entirely reliable.
To improve the efficiency of the brake systemYou will have to replace the front and rear brake drums, pads, and the parking brake. On this you can not stop and install a shortened set of brake tubes Brembo, but it will have to replace the brake cylinders, which will be hard to pick up on this car.
Of course, tuning "Tavria" - this is a noble impulse,but often the money invested in such a car does not justify itself. Therefore, before you begin to upgrade the ZAZ-1102, it is worth thinking carefully.
