Lada Kalina 2 in blue all colors

External tuning of Kalina

It is quite difficult to make a car look beautiful; you need to take into account all the trends of modern requirements for car tuning so that the car looks strict and without unnecessary “collective farm” tunings.

Installing a lip under the bumper of Kalina will give a stylish look and a slightly sporty look to the car. There are many different bumper lips, but the most popular and reliable is the samurai lip. This part is inexpensive and is made of rubber, which is very good for its durability.

The cost of this lip starts from 600 rubles.

Alloy wheels

Wheels are 50% of a car's appearance. After all, a car on boring, inconspicuous rims is unlikely to catch the eye, but if you install beautiful, stylish rims with a larger radius, you will undoubtedly gather crowds of onlookers with smartphones.

On the Lada Kalina, wheels up to R17 are installed without any modifications. But it should be remembered that beauty requires sacrifice. When installing large-radius discs, the rubber profile becomes minimal, which greatly affects ride comfort; the car becomes stiffer, but noticeably more maneuverable.

Spoiler

The spoiler on fast cars such as Formula 1 or Bugatti Veyron serves as an aerodynamic wing. It pushes the car to the ground or helps it brake when it accelerates to unimaginable speeds.

As for the Lada Kalina, here it only plays the role of external tuning of the car. Spoilers are quite different, both in appearance and type of installation. The most popular lip spoiler in modern times. When installing it, there is no need to drill holes in the car body, which spoils the paintwork. The lip spoiler is attached with double-sided tape.

Its cost depends on the region, the starting price is from 600 rubles.

As you know, Lada cars are available in several trim levels, ranging from standard to luxury. In the luxury configuration, the car received painted mirrors with turn signals, PTF, heated seats and much more. If your car has a standard configuration, do not despair, as it is quite easy to give it the appearance of a Luxury car.

Replacing the turn signal repeaters with those installed in the side mirror. And in place of the old repeaters, SE plugs are installed, which indicates the luxury equipment of the car.

It is recommended to install mirrors from the restyled grant. They have a more modern look.

Antishildik

Nowadays, you can notice that a large number of cars are driving without nameplates. Indeed, this decision introduces some nice changes to the car, allowing it to stand out from the crowd.

The nameplates are quite easy to remove; you just need to heat them with a hairdryer and remove them, as they are installed with double-sided tape.

The legendary Lada Kalina, shrouded in myths and fables. Even Russian President V.V. Putin took part in creating the image of the people's car, driving along the Khabarovsk-Chita federal highway in a yellow Kalina Sport. Lada Kalina was produced in three versions: hatchback, sedan and station wagon. It ranks fourth in popularity. Since May 2013, production of Lada Kalina 2, the second generation of Kalina, began. Like all cars produced by AVTOVAZ, Lada Kalina is easy to tune. Tuning the Lada Kalina in a hatchback body is especially popular; sedan tuning is close on its heels; station wagon tuning closes the top three.

In the second generation Lada Kalina, designers and engineers tried to refine the car to the level of European cars, making factory tuning of the car. But there is no limit to perfection.

Let's focus on the internal tuning of the Lada Kalina and Lada Kalina 2. Tuning the interior includes changing its internal parts and components. This includes installing heated sports seats, replacing the standard steering wheel with a sports steering wheel with carbon fiber trim or colored inserts. Installation of polished pedal covers. Some owners of Lada Kalina and Lada Kalina 2 change the instrument panel of the Kalina to the instrument panel of the Lada Granta. The gearshift knobs can be easily replaced with a LADA Vesta style knob.

The factory door trim is not bad. But tuning the interior of Lada Kalina and Lala Kalina 2 will not be complete if it is left untouched. The interior door trim definitely needs to be removed and new trim with cup holders and audio preparation installed in its place. How to do without armrests, now this is a necessary detail for tuning the interior of Lada Kalina, Lada Kalina 2. It is always more pleasant to twitch in a traffic jam, comfortably resting your hand on the armrest and leaning on the orthopedic headrest.

Are the seat covers worn out? No problem. Replace them with new ones. You should not save money by buying Chinese blown covers or T-shirt covers; the best choice is domestically produced covers, sewn according to the patterns of standard covers.

• cup holders;
• glasses holders;
• pens;
• air duct nozzles with chrome rings;
• multifunctional boxes;
• chrome door lock buttons;
• dashboard moldings;
• rugs in the drawer and other useful little things to add functionality to the interior of your car.

Don't forget about rugs. Rugs for Lada Kalina, Lada Kalina 2 are not a tribute to fashion, but a necessary thing. Rugs help protect the car interior from dampness, dirt, and dust. A trunk mat is especially useful. It carries basic cargo, which is not always clean.

There are different central consoles for tuning. There are wood, luxury, carbon. Install and enjoy.

Installation and replacement of components is accessible to everyone and does not require special skills or knowledge. Manuals and video instructions for installing interior tuning components for Lada Kalina and Lada Kalina 2 can be found on the Internet.

Tuning the interior of Lada Kalina and Lada Kalina 2 is a purely individual matter. With its help you can bring your own car to perfection.

Interior tuning

External tuning is of course good, but you still need to take care of yourself. Tuning the interior is also huge and great, because the exterior is made for others, and the interior is for yourself. It is necessary to approach modifications to the interior in such a way as not to sacrifice the comfort of the car.

Cases

Stylish covers help you choose any pleasant color for the interior, if you don’t like the standard colors in the Kalina’s interior. The covers also protect the seats quite well from dirt and retain their original appearance much longer.

The cost of good covers starts from 5,000 rubles.

Salon Suite

Luxury Lada cars differ from the norm not only externally, but also in the interior. The luxury version of the viburnum includes heated seats, full power accessories, a touch screen and much more.

To give your car a luxury touch in the interior, you can install heated seats and connect a full electrical package.

The steering wheel is the element most susceptible to aging and in many Lada cars, by 100 thousand km, it already falls into a sad state. To protect it or hide signs of wear, a steering wheel braid is installed.

There is a huge selection of different braids, so choosing steering wheel protection to suit your taste will not be difficult. There are two types of braids: completely covering the steering wheel and partially covering it. The most popular braids are those that partially cover the steering wheel; they are simple and quick to install. But their main drawback is that the steering wheel only partially closes.

Body colors Kalina 2 station wagon and hatchback

Technical part

Improvements on the technical side involve tuning the engine and transmission, which allows for more power and dynamics. Below is a list of modifications that will make your car drive much faster.

Chip, Firmware

Car firmware is done with a special device used by specially trained technicians. The computer connects to the car via the OBD connector and changes the factory firmware of the electronic control unit to a tuned one. Chip tuning allows you to increase power by several horsepower, which is noticeable immediately after the firmware.

The cost of firmware from a good specialist starts from 2000 rubles.

Exhaust

The exhaust on Kalina is equipped with a catalyst from the factory, which during tuning can affect the increase in power. In faster cars that have already undergone a large number of modifications, the catalyst is removed. This allows the internal combustion engine to more easily release exhaust gases without unnecessary resistance.

The catalyst is also removed when the car has a high mileage; when the catalyst becomes clogged, it begins to poorly pass exhaust gases, thereby “choking” the car.

It is not advisable to replace it with a new one, since it is quite expensive, so many people replace it with a spider insert from.

The sound with such an insert is more bassy and pleasant, and the car dynamics feel much more pleasant.

Camshafts

Sports camshafts will help achieve better vehicle dynamics. Installation of such shafts should be carried out at trusted service stations, followed by tuning of the ECU and its firmware.

Flywheel

A lightweight flywheel is installed for a sharper increase in speed. This flywheel allows the motor to spin much easier and faster. Reviews about this modification are only positive, but it was noted that starting from a standstill after installation required higher speeds than with a conventional flywheel.

Blocking

The self-locking differential allows you to block the wheels during a sharp start with slipping. This modification allows you to achieve a clearer and sharper start in drag racing competitions. On a standard differential, when slipping, only one wheel spins, but on this differential, both wheels are locked and the car jumps off the start much more efficiently.

Brakes

When finalizing the technical part, do not forget about the brakes, because they must always be in good working order and effective. It is recommended to install disc brakes on the rear axle instead of drum brakes. And also replace the front brake discs with perforated ones. This will allow for better brake cooling. Cold brakes are much more effective than overheated ones.

Potassium growing is not doomed yet. Goal: accelerate the car from 0 to 100 in 8 seconds without any problems. This is done like this: Start from second speed with the engine idling at about 4000 rpm. Having reached a speed of 60 km per hour, quickly move the speed lever from 2 to 3 speed and press the gas pedal all the way to the floor and hold it for 4 seconds. Tested on the road over potholes at 3 speeds to hundreds in 4 seconds. Condition: no cylinders with toxic substances. The most difficult thing to get going is the most difficult thing in potassium growing. The first speed is powerful but it takes a whole second to switch. The second speed is from zero to 60 kilometers per hour in 4 seconds without problems if the car is rolling at a speed of 5 kilometers per hour. It is very, very difficult to tear it out of place. Tested from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds, or even in 3. Sometimes it happens when the engine is washed with a soft wash and injector cleaner is poured into the gas tank. You also need about 20 liters of fuel. Or even less. And so the R13 wheels will be no more difficult; they only soften the ride without itching; the R14 is simply softer. Rinsing into the tank and into the oil, about half a can is enough, but Lavr Express is even better for decarbonizing piston rings. It’s advisable to let the whole tank go down at once, but you can do half of it, no problem, you don’t have to change the oil. This is not Valekrik. You cannot throw away the fire extinguisher. You can't have a spare tire. These are the conditions. Benzak is best 92 at least according to the instructions 95. 92 is denser and accelerates harshly 95 is compressed and wait for a bang. And 92 is threshing. Threshing. Total: Difficult start, second rpm 4000, preferably without slipping, 4 seconds or 3 seconds up to 60 km per hour, sharply the lever towards you and then away from you into the charge 3 speed clutch, with all this, also sharply pressed, released and everything froze, the drive froze, the measurement froze like iron pressing the pedal of the bastard all the way to the floor on a straight and wide road is not scary without oncoming traffic, it’s not scary somewhere there, plus or minus the vibrations of the steering wheel are not important. And it froze and froze for 4 seconds from 60 to 100 and broke into high society forever from... that... same... where they once were... Eight eight check in order from 60 to one hundred and then from 5 or 10 to 60 km per hour... And right away you will have the right to take a place in a better world. In just 8 seconds, a Kalina sedan and a Kalina or a BMW station wagon or a Skoda station wagon are like two peas in a pod and you immediately have the right to purchase a station wagon. He's taking a station wagon to high society, well, if it takes him or Japp for a ride. The station wagon was a secret purchase from the car factories!!! This is what many people didn’t know...

Improvements at the factory

The manufacturer cannot always make what will actually be effective under different operating conditions. Therefore, car enthusiasts often modify their cars on their own.

Rear shelf

In viburnum, the rear shelf is made of low-quality material, which soon leads to it being skewed. Also, if you install a speaker system in your car, then a standard shelf will not allow you to achieve good sound.

An alternative to all these problems is an acoustic shelf made of thicker materials and covered with carpet.

Weight

Masses affect not only the car’s electrical appliances, but also the operation of the internal combustion engine itself and the battery charge. Standard masses are not very effective, so it is recommended to duplicate them in order to achieve more reliable battery charging and smooth operation of the internal combustion engine.

Test drive of the new Lada Kalina: first test of hatchback and station wagon

Luxury Kalinas now sport a new multimedia system with a touch screen. Moreover, the color display itself stands high and is convenient to look at on the go. In general, such a “shaitan system” still looks unusual in the interior of a Russian car. And somewhat alien: the black shiny control buttons somehow do not fit into the overall ambiance of the instrument panel. And the USB connector is hidden in the glove compartment, although it would be much more convenient to put it in a niche under the cigarette lighter. The multisystem itself promises a lot of things in the menu, but as soon as it came to viewing large photos and videos from a flash drive, the system began to slow down. And you won’t immediately understand the control interface; you’ll have to dig around for a long time to learn all its intricacies. At the same time, the system was able to connect with the fifth iPhone via Bluetooth and start music and phone calls through it, but proudly refused to be “friends” with the iPhone via the USB multimedia port, limiting itself to only the charging function. But no matter how much I nitpick, for the Russian automobile industry such a system is still a real breakthrough!

But so far there has been no breakthrough with the seats: they have not changed radically on the new Kalina, remaining just as soft and even amorphous. The release of the driver's seat with height adjustment, which is already in the plant's plans, is also delayed. But all these settings-profiles-softness-hardness pale in comparison to the procedure called “take out the headrest”! I couldn’t master it alone, no matter how hard I tried. There, it turns out, you need to know how to pry this headrest, where to pull it and when to press the latches. If the head restraints will be adjusted in the same way not only on pre-production prototypes, but also on commercial vehicles, then AvtoVAZ should not dream about new seats, but at least bring the old ones to mind. As well as the tilt adjustment of the steering wheel: on one of the test cars, the mechanism turned out to be so tight that I had to pull the steering wheel up with both hands, as if lifting a weight. But the new “Kalina” is also positioned as a car for women! But it’s unlikely that a fragile young lady will be able to cope with such an “exercise”...

What kind of engines will there be and are they afraid of the timing belt breaking?

For the second Kalina, three gasoline engines are offered, which still “eat” only 95 gasoline. On the 95, of course, the engines are faster, but what to do if the gas station only has the 92, but you need to drive? Vote with a canister by the road? By the way, the Lada Largus (also known under the agent nickname Renault Logan MCV) was initially also able to “function” on 92-octane gasoline, but in the process of preparing for Russian production, the VAZ team convinced specialists from Renault to reprogram the engine to use AI-95 fuel. Well, now we know who to “thank” for this...

However, let's return to our Kalinas. The “Standard” and “Norma” trim levels will for the first time receive an 8-valve 1.6-liter VAZ-11186 unit, developing 87 horsepower and 140 Nm, which is 6 “horses” and 8 Nm more than the 8-valve unit of the previous generation models. Will there be the same 1.4-liter engine with 4 valves per cylinder? The answer is negative: VAZ says that the 8-valve engine with similar power produces 13 Nm more torque, is simpler in design and cheaper.

The “Lux” versions (and later some versions of the “Norma”) will be equipped with a new 1.6-liter 16-valve engine with a modernized intake system (the index of such an engine is 21127), combined only with a cable 5-speed “mechanics”. The engine was boosted from 98 to 106 horsepower, which immediately raised questions among motorists, because in Moscow, for example, the transport tax on such an engine would be about 1.5 thousand rubles more. To this, the VAZ team responds that although the torque increased by only 3 Nm (to 148 Nm), the engine became more torquey and responsive in the operating range of 1000-2500 rpm. I checked: the engine really drives more confidently and smoothly from the bottom and accelerates the car quite quickly from medium speeds, so such a boost looks quite justified. As for consumption, on a test hatch with this engine, after driving on the highway and frisky flights around the training ground, the computer gave a figure of 10.5 liters per 100 kilometers.
