Lowering VAZ-classic 2101-2107, VAZ-2108-2114 (Samara), priors, viburnums and grants

The VAZ-2114 is a five-door hatchback produced by the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. The restyled version of the VAZ-2109 was produced under the code name “Samara-2”. The car differed from previous models in the unique design of the nose area of ​​the body; it received new headlights, hood, radiator trim, bumpers and moldings. The entire Lada model range.

The official presentation took place in 2001, and serial production of this vehicle continued for 10 years (from spring 2003 to December 2013). Throughout its history, the car has undergone various improvements. The Lada-2114 car was replaced by a new Lada Priora car.

The domestic hatchback VAZ-2114 is quite common among the young population and was often purchased for the first experience of driving a car. The vehicle belongs to the budget niche, so it is not worth demanding bright indicators and characteristics from the car. Lada-2114 is suitable for country trips, as it has good ground clearance, allowing it to cope with minor obstacles and uneven road surfaces.

Car history

As mentioned above, the production of the “14th model” lay at the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. The car, which was equipped with a new name “Lada 2114 Samara-2”, was created on the platform of the famous VAZ-2109. Many owners of “nines” are already tired of the outdated front panel, so the new Europanel is very popular among drivers.

Serial production of the domestic hatchback began in 2003. The Lada-2114 Samara was equipped with the already familiar four-cylinder eight-valve 1.5-liter power plant, which was able to prove itself well in the 2109 model. When 2007 arrived, the car underwent an update that affected the technical part.

The line of power units has been replenished with a brand new 8-valve 1.6-liter engine. The catalyst was now installed directly next to the internal combustion engine, and it also received a plastic housing. The changes also affected the dashboard. The company pleased drivers with the presence of an on-board computer. The glove compartment in the upper part disappeared, and the panel itself was finished with hard plastic.

After 3 years, specialists significantly modernized the VAZ-2114 in 2010. Now under the hood of the domestic hatchback there was a sixteen-valve power unit from the Lada Priora.

Thanks to cooperation with the Recaro company, it was possible to equip the car with new seats and suspension. Production of the Lada VAZ-2114 was discontinued on December 24, 2013. The “transitional” version, represented by the 14th model, was successfully replaced by a new version from Lada – Priora.

Appearance

Despite the release of a newer model, there are not many differences between the VAZ-2114 and VAZ-2109 in terms of bodywork. The new product had:

• New front part of the body;
• New lens shape;
• New hood;
• Another radiator grille;
• Improved quality of plastic on bumpers;
• Spoiler;
• Moldings;
• Door sill covers.

One thing can be said frankly: the VAZ-2114 was very lucky due to the policy pursued by the manufacturing company. In fact, the pioneer in this series was the VAZ-2115 sedan, which, as practice has shown, was a real pancake.

Taking into account the mistakes made, the innovations developed for the 15th and the use of time-tested features of the 2109, it was possible to release a complete and one of the most successful vehicles in the history of AvtoVAZ - the Lada-2114. The weight of the car was 970 kilograms, and its carrying capacity was 425 kilograms. Ground clearance height – 160 mm.

After improvements in 2011, the ground clearance was increased by 5 millimeters. This was achieved thanks to the installation of racks from Lada Priora. Between the headlights there is a small radiator grille. This decision was made partly due to the fact that the engine does not need a large air flow for cooling. It is in this place that the handle for opening the hood is located, which is very practical.

The VAZ-2114 car has become much better than its predecessor in terms of appearance and interior design. The design turned out to be more streamlined and stylish.

The side part of the VAZ-2114 has external mirrors made in a rectangular shape. Thanks to this solution, the driver has better control of the situation on the road. I would also like to mention the doors of the 14th model. They have a special opening mechanism, which makes boarding and disembarking passengers more comfortable.

According to statements by AvtoVAZ designers, the door opening angle is almost 90 percent. Not every car can boast such characteristics to improve the level of comfort for its passengers and owner. The five-door model comes with 13-inch wheels, which, if desired, can be replaced with more massive ones.

The rear part was completed with an eye to new ideas and solutions. The stern of the VA-2114 has modified headlights, which received 3 signals: stop, reverse and turn signals. This element is very practical and interesting. Moreover, this solution saves a little space. Almost all automobile concerns use similar technologies.

In general, the appearance of the VAZ-2114 has become more pleasant, modern and not so sharp compared to the VAZ-2109. A stylish body kit along the entire edge of the car added some zest to the appearance. It's nice that the bumpers are now painted to match the body color. The exterior of the new product was equipped with sporty features: the headlights narrowed, the shape of the hood changed, and the body became more streamlined.

The aerodynamic performance was initially identical to that of the 2115 model. However, later, the drag coefficient of the updated Lada-2114 was even lower - 0.45 versus 0.46 for the “standard” 2109. But the balance of lift forces changed seriously: the total lift force increased slightly, but it was now distributed evenly across the axes. Due to such improvements, the quality of driving at high speeds improves.

A small feature of the Lada 2114 car is the installed spoiler, which allows you to increase road grip, as well as the dynamic data of the car. It’s doubly nice that such an element comes already in the basic version from the factory.

How to lower a VAZ-2114 for everyday driving

Amateurs who take on tuning domestic cars face the difficult task of not turning their project into a “collective farm.” The blogger showed how to lower a car “according to GOST”.

The author of the Abram TV channel films the process of finalizing the VAZ-2114. In one of the recent series, he lowered the car, but not too much, but so that the car was still suitable for everyday driving. For this reason, the blogger ordered a complete suspension kit from Demfi, since he believes that filing the springs on his own is unsafe. Moreover, the choice fell on the Drive version, which is one of the toughest.

It is curious that the VAZ-2114 had springs lowered by 50 mm at the front and -70 mm at the rear. This decision was made due to the fact that the front springs would sag under the weight of the engine. After replacing the stock suspension elements with new ones, the motorist went for a ride in the “four”. According to him, the car has become slightly stiffer, but it looks more interesting.

Interior

As for the interior decoration of the VAZ-2114, it has inexpensive but high-quality materials. The hard plastic of the front panel creaks a lot when driving. From the point of view of our drivers, the interior can even be considered “luxury”, since it has an on-board computer, a seat heating function, two power windows and fog lights.

The on-board computer displays information about the remaining gasoline in the tank, the number of kilometers that can still be driven, average consumption and time. The steering wheel is comfortable and can be easily adjusted to suit you. It’s very nice that the steering wheel does not interfere with a full view of the instruments on the panel. The interior of the updated VAZ-2114 also has a heater with an updated structure. The doors are equipped with central locks.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the new Europanel. It has two liquid crystal displays. The left corner of the “instrument board” is occupied by a temperature sensor, which informs the driver about the current engine temperature in order to prevent overheating of the power unit. This sensor is designed in the form of a scale. Next comes the tachometer, which has a round design.

The central upper part has indicators in the form of arrows. Near the engine speed sensor there is a scale that displays the speed of the machine. The maximum value on the speedometer is 200 kilometers per hour. Finally, the upper right part shows the level of gasoline in the tank. Under this sensor there were indicators for turning on the side lights and high beams, as well as a message about a malfunction of the brake system.

Not without an overboard thermometer. The driver's seat is not the most comfortable. It simply cannot be adjusted. When landing, the notch puts pressure on the lower back, and most car owners are guilty of this. The central part has emergency signs, which during normal operation of the vehicle look like an ordinary dark stripe.

Due to the new panel structure, interior ventilation has increased. We managed to eliminate the problem of air supply to the deflectors on the sides. The upholstery of the chairs has a fabric structure, which over time becomes covered with very noticeable abrasions. Many elements of the interior decoration have a lot of play and creaking, which can be heard even with the slightest movement. But it’s nice that such a defect can be easily eliminated.

Also, the restyled Lada 2114 model is equipped with seat belt fasteners from the “ten”. The ceiling received a customizable interior lighting flashlight. Lada 2114 does not have a lot of free space for passengers. The rear-mounted sofa is uncomfortable and uncomfortable on long trips. Although the rear seats can be folded down, in their normal state they take up a lot of space.

It will not be so comfortable for a tall person to sit in the back. In principle, even an ordinary person with average height will feel uncomfortable. The rear windows are manual. A lot of owners of the fourteenth model struggle with extraneous noise in the cabin using sound and vibration insulation. However, due to such improvements, the weight of the vehicle increases significantly.

Some VAZ-2114 owners complain that the rear doors are jammed, making them difficult to open. Also, the loud and unpleasant sound of doors closing has not gone away. If the back row is folded and the shelf is removed, the usable space inside the Russian hatchback will become larger – 600 liters. In the normal position, the luggage compartment does not have a large volume - 330 liters.

It’s also unpleasant that the factory shelf, which we talked about a little higher, constantly rattles. This is why many people advise buying an acoustic shelf that will dampen such unpleasant sounds. In general, the update had a positive impact mainly on the interior, although there are some controversial issues. For example, the stove has become more powerful, but because of this the noise level has increased.

Selection of racks

Tuning version of car suspension

The choice of shock absorber struts for a VAZ-2114 can often confuse the car owner, since in addition to the original there are a number of analogues that can also be installed, as well as a sports version. Let's consider which of all the racks are most suitable for installation on a car and are suitable for our rough roads.

Native racks

2108-2905001 and 2108-2905002 – original catalog numbers of front shock absorber struts for the VAZ-2114 family of cars. The average cost is about 2,000 rubles/piece.

Original shock absorber struts

Since the conversation is about which struts are better, we can conclude that original shock absorbers do not suit car owners. But why? It seems that the design engineers took everything into account when designing this spare part, but no, something is still wrong.

The first factor that puts native stands in a negative position is that their endurance leaves much to be desired. The shock absorber seal does not last its life on smooth roads , not to mention the fact that it has to constantly absorb potholes. Since the original struts are of the oil type, when accelerating over 120 km/h it begins to loosen, and at 140 km/h this becomes significantly noticeable.

It is these two problems that become the reasons that car owners begin to look for a replacement for the original part.

What's behind?

2108-2915003 and 2108-2915004 – original part numbers for the rear left and right shock absorber struts manufactured by AvtoVAZ. The average cost is 2000 rubles/piece.

Maybe analog is better?

Analogue racks are usually either a cheap replacement for the original, with the same characteristics, or an improved budget option.

In fact, many manufacturers of spare parts offer a wide range of products that have long been loved by car owners and are highly popular.

So, let's consider a possible option for installing analogues of the VAZ-2114 shock absorber.

Front struts

Shock absorber strut manufactured by Fenox

Rear pillars

Shock absorber strut manufactured by Finwhile

Particular attention should be paid to shock-absorbing struts manufactured by Monroe.

Monroe racks

As practice has shown, they cope well with the uneven roads of the country and also have high durability. Read more about the process of replacing rear shock absorbers here.

Sports and popular stands

Sports shock absorbers

As you know, many car enthusiasts install sports and semi-sports shock absorber struts on their cars to achieve maximum effect on the roads and maximum stability. They are more durable and absorb road imperfections much better than stock or analog struts.

There are a number of manufacturers who have proven over many years of work that parts can be not only high-quality, but also durable. So, let's look at which spare parts manufacturers offer high-quality sports shock absorber struts.

Popular solution - Kayaba

Shock absorber struts manufactured by Kayaba

“Kayaba” are legendary stands that have earned worldwide recognition. They are famous for their quality and durability. At the same time, the automobile spare parts market is filled with counterfeits of this manufacturer. Let's look at what racks the manufacturer offers for 2114:

• EXCEL-G is a gas strut that is filled with nitrogen. Mainly intended for everyday driving, without special loads.
• Ultra SR and Ultra GR are sporty shock absorber struts with increased stability.
• Premium is a new generation of hydraulically driven shock absorbers. High-quality production material increases long-term use.

ProSport - CIS is not lagging behind!

Racks produced by ProSport

A legendary CIS company that has long been making sports versions of parts for domestically produced cars. There are two options for installation on a car - gas (sports) and gas-oil (semi-sports).

SS20 - forward domestic manufacturer

Racks manufactured by SS20

Popular manufacturer of domestic origin. The main specialization is the creation of tuning parts for cars produced in the CIS. For the VAZ-2114 there are 4 options for shock absorber struts from this manufacturer:

• Highway . Rigid struts that maximize cornering when accelerating.
• Standard . This option becomes ideal for those who live in harsh regions. They tolerate extreme heat and frost very well.
• Comfort . A universal version of racks, and therefore they are highly popular among car enthusiasts. The design features are such that they grip the road surface properly and work well with any driving style.
• Sports . These are the toughest racks. This option is intended for tracks, as it ideally holds the car during sharp maneuvers at high speed.

Ultra Extreme

Ultra-Extreme sports racks

Some of the most expensive options . These are combined racks that are ideal for both urban and road riding. Made from high-strength material that perfectly absorbs uneven road surfaces. The average service life is 70-80 thousand kilometers.

Plaza

Domestic sports stands produced by "Plaza"

Oddly enough, St. Petersburg racks have gained quite a high popularity among owners of the domestic automobile industry.

To avoid counterfeits entering the market, the manufacturer puts an o, which guarantees a quality mark. Although all stands are oil-based, this factor does not reduce their quality. So, let's look at what options it provides:

• Soft-Drive. The soft version of the struts is designed for city driving. Although there is a drawback in the form of rocking of the car, they are quite durable.
• Sport . Very rigid struts are designed for driving at high speed, because they perfectly hold the car on the road surface.
• X-Drive . Rigid racks, which were originally designed to hold a car on a slippery road, which became a fundamental factor for their use in the northern regions.

Brembo

Brembo struts

Quite a well-known manufacturer of tuning spare parts. It received worldwide recognition for its improved brake systems, and in 2011 it entered the CIS market, where it began producing a fairly wide range of parts for the domestic automotive industry. So, let's look at what options this company offers:

• Soft racks for those who love drag and drift in a car. But, they are not suitable for high-speed driving.
• The best option for those who love to drive and drive a car every day.
• ProSport. Rigid racks that are designed for high-speed driving. They perfectly hold the car on the road surface.

ATF

ATF struts

A new manufacturer that entered the CIS market only in 2015. The main plant is located in Western Ukraine, but this does not reduce the quality of the products. It only offers one strut option - Sport. Rigid racks are designed specifically for driving at high speed.

Rack types

For all types of cars there are three options for shock absorber struts:

• Oily . The most common installation option on cars produced in the CIS. They are soft and suitable for any type of riding. The only drawback is that when they are installed, the car begins to rock at high speed.
• Gas . A rigid option that prevents the car from swaying at high speed.
• Gas-oil . An average option that will allow you to drive not only off-road, but also feel comfortable on the highway.

Specifications

Power unit

Over the 10 years of serial production of the Lada 2114, several power units were placed under its hood. First, it is worth mentioning the 1.5-liter, 8-valve engine, which developed 78 horsepower and 116 Nm. This engine consumed about 7.3 liters for every 100 kilometers in combined mode.

This modification has an injection intake controlled via an electronic unit, replacing the obsolete carburetor intake. Not without a new camshaft with adjusted phases. After AvtoVAZ introduced an injector into the VAZ-2114 engine, a group of engineers increased the efficiency of the engine, adding power to it. On the other hand, it was also possible to reduce the “fuel appetite”.

In 2004, a modification of the power unit was released, with a displacement of 1.6 liters. The engine already produced 81 horsepower and 125 Nm. In combined mode, the engine consumed 7.6 liters per hundred kilometers. The eight-valve injection power plant has an increased volume thanks to the cylinder height increased by 2.3 millimeters, which provided a longer piston stroke.

Instead of the ignition module, they began to install a coil. The new version of the engine has become more powerful and environmentally friendly, but gasoline consumption has increased when compared with the first 1.5-liter engine. In addition, in the same year they released a 1.6-liter version of the engine with a 16-valve system.

Such an engine already produced 89 “horses” and 131 Nm of rotational force. Based on the passport data, for every 100 kilometers you need 7.5 liters of gasoline in combined mode. In 2007, this engine was subjected to serious modification. The working volume remained at the same level – 1.6 liters. But power increased to 98 horsepower and 145 Nm of torque.

It’s nice that the increased power did not negatively affect the “fuel appetite”. According to the passport data, the new product consumes 7.2 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers. They worked hard on the previous VAZ-2114 engine for 3 years and made several changes.

Engine with a displacement of 1.6 liters.

The connecting rod and piston group was lightened by as much as 39 percent. The drive of the gas distribution mechanism was changed - now it was tensioned automatically. The valve wells have become smaller in size. The quality of cylinder honing has increased significantly.

Transmission

All power plants of the VAZ-2114 work together with a five-speed manual transmission, which has been improved. All torque potential is transmitted exclusively to the front wheels. Both the transmission and the suspension were developed only by Russian engineers.

Chassis

The car was built on the platform of the previous model - the time-tested "nine" (VAZ-2109), which was subjected to serious modernization. The front wheels operate with McPherson struts, and the rear wheels with trailing arms or coil springs. Driving the car does not cause the most pleasant sensations, since there is no power steering.

The steering wheel itself is made of a rack and pinion type. The braking system of the domestic hatchback received disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. If we take the average speed limit of 80 kilometers per hour, then the braking distance with passengers will be 40 m.

Safety

It’s not very pleasant to talk about the safety level of the Lada-2114. The car does not have airbags and the body metal is too thin, which is not capable of providing the proper level of protection in an emergency. The vehicle is severely deformed even with mild impacts, so it is advisable not to drive at high speeds.

Lowering VAZ 2114

Lowering of VAZ 2114 front -50, rear -70 mm. Apparently it won't be short. Probably 70-80% of 2108-2114 owners have thoughts of lowering the car. I also wanted the car to look better, but not to shake. Understating the BPAN is still not my thing, especially since there is a need to drive not only around the city.

It became

The situation was complicated by the fact that I had no experience in working with/changing the suspension.
For a whole year I thought and decided what and how to do. Just sawing is not my thing, I drove such cars, not very well. As a result, I found a person who has sufficient experience to advise me on a worthwhile understatement. And I brought life together with this man. So, I explained to him what and how I wanted in the end. He proposed a compromise option: lowering -50/-70, and then, he said, this is close and even a lot for the suspension to work well. Deep down I disagreed because... I wanted either -70 around, or -70/-90, but I listened to him, because... I have a lot of experience, but I am guided 80-90% by emotion and desire for appearance. Among other things, he had contacts in Togliatti at Demfi, the opportunity to order racks specifically for springs from the local Kulibin and assemble them manually. So, we decided together (he advised, and I wisely agreed): 1)
Demfi Premium struts, manual lowering -50/-70
2)
Evolex supports
3)
Springs I bought earlier - Tehnoressor -50/-70
4)
SS20 bump stops Struts and the supports arrived from Togliatti in about a month and a half, bought additional boots and bumpers, and went to install them (also on recommendation). After installation, I went to the breakdown. The result is that it has become tougher, but not critical. The car does not chatter, does not shake, the suspension works as it should. I also sometimes travel as a passenger in a Note, Teana, Passat CC, Corolla - of course, it cannot be compared with the softness, but these are other cars. Moreover, there was a contrast, because On the day of changing the suspension, I changed the winter R-14 to the summer R-15. The car has become more stable in turns; I can consistently take the same turns in a higher gear. The only “BUT” is that it was just a little short of the lowering that I wanted. Ideally, it would be even lower by -40/-20 mm, I think this would not affect pragmatism (I wouldn’t start scraping the asphalt with my belly), but it would look very cool. If this desire does not go away further, I will think about something.

Was

It became

When I first bought the car, it had spacers on the back for the rear shock absorbers. But it didn’t bother me then. Then I wanted to lower it, a year later I did it, I lowered it primarily so that the car would steer, I didn’t want to spend 15 thousand on short-stroke struts and springs (as well as 15 thousand themselves)), so I cut 2 by 2 turns, but the back turned out to be high, and then another turn at the back, for a total of 2 by 3.

I really liked the way the car behaved; you could take corners, it still stood as if on rails, and at the same time you didn’t have to worry about the ground clearance, it was enough to drive everywhere without any problems, just like on stock.

But the struts were damaged, and after about 5 months the car began to rock on bumps, and on potholes, due to the short stroke, the suspension was punched, and all these blows go wherever you think, right, on the body and on your back, the panel keeps rattling, the radio I failed once, and the hard blows to the back made me sick. And by winter the landing was over, I bought new standard struts and springs.

I immediately began to notice that there was a lack of controllability, and I’ll tell you why now. The fact that the center of gravity is high is already understandable, but the main bullshit is that the ass is higher than the front, plus the entire mass of the car in front, it turns out that the front is overloaded, and when you go into a turn, the car leans on the front wheel on the outer side of the turn and the ass in the back dangles slightly when there's shit in the hole, there's no grip. The castor also turns out to be small or even negative. Also, there is no comfort, again due to incorrect weight distribution. Well, now the main thing is how to solve this problem. Well, yes, lower your ass. 2 turns will be just right. It’s better not to touch the front because the suspension travel decreases, and with it comfort and ground clearance, which is necessary to leave the yard in winter, or when driving on a snow-covered road on which an obstacle may arise in the middle of the road that will not be possible to get around; such situations have happened to me, In general, lowering the front will only worsen the properties of the car.

By lowering the rear, we get advantages in the form of better weight distribution, and this is always very much appreciated in cars. Now the ass is more confident in turns, there is no roll on the front wheel, the load is distributed more evenly between the front and rear. Comfort has increased, again due to weight distribution, because the front wheels are not overloaded. The castor has increased, which means the car turns better and easier, and also drives straight when accelerating, rather than throwing it in all directions as before. The car tilted back and even sitting in the chair became more comfortable. Regarding the transportation of bags of potatoes and other things, don’t worry, nothing will be rubbed. That’s actually all that I planned to talk about on this topic, I was convinced from my own experience that this understatement is the best solution and comfortable for everyday use.

Options and prices

The equipment of the Lada-2114 will not be very rich. However, the car is practical, unusual and has a whole list of necessary functions. The car has:

• Climate control;
• Seat with plenty of settings;
• A steering wheel that can be adjusted both in terms of reach and vertical plane;
• Instrument panel with engine speed and speed sensors;
• On-board computer;
• Central console with an abundance of buttons;
• Anti-lock braking system;
• Front seat heating function.

It is no longer possible to purchase a new VAZ 2114 car, since the production of this model has been stopped. But on the used car market you can buy a pretty good option. The price may vary depending on the year of manufacture, equipment and general condition. On average, this is about 240,000 Russian rubles.

Lowering VAZ-classic 2101-2107, VAZ-2108-2114 (Samara), priors, viburnums and grants

Currently one of the most common types of VAZ tuning

there is
an understatement

VAZ
cars .
Now, first of all, after purchasing a car, enterprising “tuners” cut the spring
, and the most common question on the Internet is:
“How many turns should I cut
on the basin so that the car lies flat?”

For those who want to lower their VAZ, they will need to take care of purchasing special racks for lowering the car. After all, under each lowered spring it is necessary to install lowered struts and shock absorbers

.
Because on them the stroke of the rod is changed, for the springs having a specific understatement. Otherwise, the rack will work poorly and will quickly fail. They also very often ask the question about the preferred lowering for the front and rear. So, the suspension works well up to a lowering of -50, then you need to get used to it. The next question: “How to choose the right struts and springs so that the car sits level?” To lower the VAZ 2110, 2112, Classics, Priors and Kalinas,
it is necessary to take front and rear lowered struts, shock absorbers and springs with the same lowering.
And in order to lower the VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099, 2113, 2114,
you need to take the rear lower than the front.
For example, when purchasing front struts and springs -70 mm
, springs and shock absorbers with a lowering of
-90 mm

Guys, I want to tell you that this is fundamentally wrong. After all, a spring is a suspension unit calculated by scientists, and sawing off the coils on the spring

You are disrupting the kinematics of this unit.
But no one even thinks about it. But this pseudo VAZ tuning
is very dangerous.
Let's take an analogy with an internal combustion engine. You won't drive on 2 pistons, will you? So in the suspension everything is similar. Unfortunately, tuners, as a rule, “saw”
the support
coils
to
lower the VAZ springs
.
Due to the absence of a support coil, the spring
is skewed and stops working, as a result the body receives additional load and is subject to wear, very often

the spring
which is lowered
in this way , flies off the support cup, the load is distributed unevenly.
All this leads to incorrect operation of the spring
and its further break.
By decreasing the height of a standard spring
, you also increase its stiffness, while the stress in the metal increases and its service life decreases, and as we have already said, there is an additional load on the metal of the body.
Therefore, it is advisable to purchase lowered springs
made in the factory.
Tehnoressor
have been especially popular lately .
Through mathematical calculations and a refined technological process, the output is high-quality lowering springs!

Tuning

Any car owner wants his car to be something different and stand out on the road. In addition, drivers want to improve their technical performance by achieving an increase in power or a decrease in fuel appetite. The best way to achieve these goals is to tune your vehicle.

It involves improving visual properties, driving characteristics and improving comfort. It's nice that you can do most of the tuning of the Lada 2114 yourself. There are several main parts of tuning:

• Appearance;
• Inner part;
• The power unit compartment, chassis and other improvements that increase the performance of the hatchback.

Body tuning

The easiest way to modernize the body of a domestic car is to paint the body in unusual colors or use stickers. Using the game of contrasts, you can make the car catchy and noticeable in city traffic. However, it is very important not to forget to coordinate the actions with the traffic police, since the color of the car is indicated in the documents.

Interesting details of the car modernization include air intakes. Some change the appearance of the hood and roof. Although the driving performance of the vehicle does not depend on this, the appearance of the tuning model will become more unusual. Not so often, but you can still find “lambo doors”, which look very catchy.

Car doors that open upwards will be difficult to ignore. It is not so easy to carry out this work. It is very important not to forget to adjust the gaps. In the future, you can improve driving comfort in the dark by tuning the Lada 2114 headlights. You can paint the lamps yourself and place LED elements or lenses in them.

If you don’t want to tinker, factory versions of headlights for Lada 2113-15 are sold, which differ from the basic ones. To give your car a new look, you can install a stylish body kit. It has:

• Front and rear bumper;
• Wing;
• Wing covers.

With the help of such parts it will be possible to increase the air flow to the VAZ-2114 power unit and improve aerodynamics. The exterior of the car will receive more sporty notes. Elements for tuning are purchased either separately or as a set. They stand out for their appearance, strength, weight and other parameters. Among the disadvantages of such modernization, it is worth highlighting the high cost of body elements.

It’s also worth mentioning the side mirrors. The standard elements do not have a great view and ice forms there in cold weather. Specialized stores can offer mirrors that are free of these shortcomings. With the help of new mirrors, you will not only improve the appearance of the car, but also increase the level of driving comfort and safety.

Small details that can improve the appearance of the VAZ-2114 include linings of various designs and appearances. There are also more modern windshields, a bumper air intake, wheel arch trims, etc.

Interior tuning

Changes can be made not only to the exterior of our hatchback, but to the interior. You can tune the interior of a VAZ-2114 in different ways, since almost everything can be changed. The simplest tuning of the 14th model includes:

• Installation of the armrest;
• Replacement of the rear view mirror;
• Installation of attachments for mobile gadgets;
• Decorations.

It is important to understand that the overall modernization of the Lada 2114 interior using your own efforts will take some time and significant funds. You should immediately understand what you need personally and at the moment.

Next, you can trim the doors and the interior as a whole. The inside of a car can be upholstered with a variety of materials. Fabric, leatherette and even suede leather are perfect. Then the audio system and dashboard are installed. You can use the factory dashboard, or you can install a newer one, which will significantly brighten up the interior of the car.

Some people glue surfaces with vibration-proof sheets. Such work will help reduce noise inside the VAZ-2114. The basic steering wheel is unlikely to feel pleasant, so you can replace it with a sports steering wheel.

But it is important to remember that such changes may be of interest to traffic police officers. To improve your car, install LED lighting for the underbody, luggage compartment and interior. This will have a positive effect on the visual perception of the car.

Chassis tuning

If we talk about modernizing the chassis, it will not have a positive effect on the appearance of the car, but it will significantly increase the dynamics and behavior of the hatchback on the road surface. There are 2 options for this tuning: sport and economy. The sports option implies an increase in the driving characteristics of the vehicle, which will allow the car to be more dynamic.

The name of the second option speaks for itself - it reduces fuel consumption. Among the main systems that undergo improvement are the power unit and chassis. Tuning the Lada 2114 suspension includes calibration of the entire system, wheel alignment of the hatchback, as well as modernization of individual elements:

• Replacing springs;
• Improved shock absorbers;
• Installation of anti-roll bar.

Such improvements will improve the level of driving comfort and optimize the behavior of the VAZ-2114 on the road. As a result, the car will sway less and will stop rolling during a sharp turn.

Powertrain tuning

Tuning the engine of the 13th, 14th or 15th model is quite difficult, but it is possible. To achieve an increase in engine power, it is necessary to reflash the control unit and increase the diameter of the cylinders using boring. To achieve a better result, you can replace the BC that distributes the gas. Taken together, these actions are quite safe and help increase the engine’s power by up to a third.

More effective, but risky methods include installing a turbine and replacing the crankshaft with a new one with an extended piston stroke. Such work will make the VAZ-2114 more dynamic, but this often leads to rapid failure of the hatchback engine. No one has canceled the possibility of chip tuning the VAZ-2114, which will also allow you to increase power or reduce fuel consumption without disassembling the engine.

Comparison with competitors

In this price segment, the VAZ-2114 car does not have many direct competitors. But the choice other than the 14th model may fall on the VAZ-2112 or the younger Lada Priora. There is no point in talking about significant differences, but it is clear that the Lada Priora will be newer and more modern.

All cars are produced by the same manufacturer, so there will be no fundamental differences. Some people will like the Lada-2114 because of its sportier appearance, but there will also be connoisseurs for the VAZ-2112 or Lada Priora. In any case, the choice is made by everyone personally.

Tuning VAZ 2114 (Lada 2114 tuning)

When tuning a VAZ 2114, remember that there are certain standards, the change of which requires approval. Before starting tuning with your own hands, the car owner is obliged to contact the State Traffic Inspectorate with an application, which will detail all the changes that are planned to be made to the design of the car.

By decision of the traffic police authorities, a permit is issued, which specifies the conditions for registration and the procedure for issuing a certificate of compliance of the vehicle with safe operation techniques. In some cases (when the changes are too significant), a conclusion from specialists will also be required, who are required to attach technical documentation to the conclusion.

Upon completion of the technical work, the car owner is required to submit a declaration statement about the changes made, their volume and quality. In addition, the car owner presents the car itself for a technical inspection, after which appropriate changes are made to the registration documents.

When considering the issue of tuning a VAZ 2114 , it should be noted that this car is perfect for such an event. It reaches speeds of up to 200 km/h and is very easy to drive. In addition, for the “fourteenth” Lada, several ready-made package options have been developed, created taking into account different needs.

Tuning the VAZ 2114 engine

Tuning the VAZ 2114 engine is one of the key operations. In order to slightly increase its power, it is enough to simply reflash the control unit and replace some parts with sports analogues.

Taking into account such work, the output of the power unit can be increased by 10-15% compared to the standard version. To further increase the output, the cylinder head, gas distribution mechanism will have to be replaced and the valves will be bored out. And the most extreme way is to install a turbine on the Lada 2114 engine.

Another way to increase the power of a standard fourteenth engine is to replace the standard crankshaft with a new one, with an increased piston stroke, providing more torque.

Tuning the 2114 gearbox involves changing the gear ratios. Remember that a number of gears, as well as the final drive, should be selected based on the specific engine. And with the help of a self-locking differential, you can significantly increase the transmission of torque to the wheels, which will increase traction “at the bottom” during intense acceleration.

VAZ 2114 suspension tuning

It's no secret that when tuning the chassis it is necessary to adjust the suspension as stiff as possible, which requires replacing the standard shock absorbers with stiffer ones. To reduce roll angles, stiffer anti-roll bars should be installed.

In addition to tuning the VAZ 2114 suspension, we must not forget about the wheels. When choosing wheels and tires for the fourteenth, you should be guided by the operating conditions of the vehicle.

External tuning of VAZ 2114

External tuning of the four includes the installation of aerodynamic body kits, alternative front and rear bumpers, replacement of standard moldings, door handles, rear-view mirrors, as well as removal of the rear spoiler or replacing it with a more stylish one.

Of course, no tuning is complete without installing alloy wheels, of which there are a great variety available for the fourteenth Lada, and the replacement of standard rear lights with new ones, of which there are many offered in stores, has also become widespread.

The most radical external tuning of the 2114 with your own hands is achieved when the owners, on their own or with the help of specialists, modify the body parts according to their own program. For example, you can add air intakes to the hood or front fenders, or partially or completely paint individual parts in contrasting colors.

Tuning the interior of the VAZ 2114

Until recently, we could talk about window tinting, but with the adoption of technical regulations, requirements have been established: the transparency of the windshield and front side windows must be at least 70 percent, but the tinting of the rear and side rear windows is not regulated.

Tuning the 2114 interior may include replacing the standard front seats with sports ones, or simply more convenient and comfortable seats. LED lighting will help give the interior a stylish look, as well as tuning the instruments by replacing the original panel with an alternative one.

It is also possible to replace the standard on-board computer, install a GPS system in the center console, a quick-release coupling for the steering wheel, a braid for the steering wheel, and finally, you can lay down comfortable floor mats with a modern design.

Below is a selection of photos of white and black VAZ 2114, the tuning of which is the most popular. But the fourteenths and other colors are not deprived of attention.

Owner reviews

Owners of the Lada 2114 note the more modern and beautiful appearance of the car when comparing the model with the VAZ-2112 or, even more so, with the “nine”. The car is even worth its price, especially when you compare it even with used foreign cars. The hatchback, according to owners' reviews, is quite easy to drive.

The latest versions received front electric windows, an on-board computer, a heated rear window, and so on. The power plant turned out to be quite playful. I can't help but be pleased with the ground clearance, which allows the car to be used not only for city trips.

The domestic hatchback is unpretentious in maintenance. The cost of spare parts is not as scary as for the same foreign cars. With such a fairly agile power unit, fuel consumption is within normal limits. The car is ideal for tuning lovers, as it has a large springboard for modernization options both outside and inside. It is worth mentioning the excellent aerodynamics.

On the other hand, it is important to take into account the far from best assembly and the very quality of finishing materials. Drivers of the VAZ-2114 complain about unreliability, lack of free space inside the car, low quality iron and paint materials. Often a car is purchased for a family, but the 14th model suffers in terms of safety, because it doesn’t even have a driver’s airbag.

Also, the car does not have air conditioning and often breaks down. There is a feeling of discomfort during long trips. The seats lack good lateral support. The front panel plastic is quite hard.

Advantages and disadvantages

Pros of the car

• Good aerodynamics;
• Pleasant appearance;
• Quite fast power plants;
• Acceptable ride height;
• In high esteem among the young population;

Cons of the car

• Door handles often fail;
• The bumpers are also very easy to break since they are plastic;
• The car rots very quickly, it is necessary to treat it with a primer yourself, since the manufacturing company missed this;
• There's not much space inside;
• Low level of security;
• No air conditioning or power steering;
• Poor build quality;
• Hard plastic front panel;
• Small luggage compartment.

Results

Considering the information about the Russian five-door, we can safely say that the VAZ-2114 is a car that has more advantages than disadvantages. The car cannot be classified as a comfortable and luxurious car in the premium segment. The quality of parts, elements and assembly in general is far from ideal. But even if we take into account all these shortcomings, we cannot say that the hatchback turned out to be outright bad.

It has a pleasant and quite stylish appearance, is unpretentious in maintenance and repair, and allows for various tuning, which concerns not only the exterior, but also the interior of the car. It is also worth adding the low cost of the car as a whole and low prices for spare parts.

Of course, the issue of security is at the forefront, since there is none here. There is also very little free space inside, and the luggage compartment is small. The power of the power units is enough for dynamic movement, and the “fuel appetite” will not seriously deplete your wallet. Separately, it is worth noting the energy-intensive suspension and good handling, which was achieved thanks to the aerodynamic properties of the vehicle.

Unlike its predecessors, the VAZ-2114 received an adjustable steering column, an on-board computer, heated front seats and electric windows for the front doors. A Europanel with two small LCD displays also appeared. All this significantly increased the overall level of comfort.

Therefore, Lada-2114 can be safely recommended to novice drivers and those who like to delve into the car. This hatchback is often found on the roads of many cities and continues to serve faithfully, regardless of time.
