Tuning Lada Priora. How to make a cool tuning of a Lada Priora with your own hands

Almost any unit on a Priora can be upgraded - for this there are accessories for Priora on the market. The auto industry in Russia has been constantly developing over the past 10 years. Russian AvtoVAZ has released many models that try to compete with foreign cars. One of these models: Lada Priora. Many companies produce accessories that can be replaced instead of factory ones.

Priora first appeared on general sale eleven years ago. In 2013, restyling was done and the plant produced Priora 2. It was the sales leader in the Russian automobile market. It is optimized for traveling on our roads, easy to operate, and reliable. When installing accessories on the car, some parameters change for the better, since they were developed specifically for the Priora, and factory spare parts were taken as a basis.

Manufacturers produce models with body types: sedan, hatchback, station wagon. Priora is respected for its accessibility, simplicity, and comfort. In addition to the listed advantages, there is one more - modernization. It is enough to decide which part of the machine you are modifying and purchase the necessary spare parts by choosing an online store. You yourself will be able to modify car optics, perform acoustic preparation of the Lada Priora, and improve some technical characteristics. Read the article to the end and you will find out which units can be upgraded!

Tuning the Priora engine - how to modify a powerful unit

The Priora hatchback is equipped with a 16-valve engine, which, despite the ridicule of many skeptics, is powerful enough even for driving in extreme conditions. Despite this, having resolutely taken up tuning the model, work must begin with the engine. The first assistant in modernizing the Lada power unit will be a supercharger compressor. Having this part at our disposal, we can already count on increasing the engine power by approximately 2 times. The compressor is easy to install with your own hands - installation of the part does not require in-depth knowledge of the design of the injector and gas distribution system. All that is required of us is to place the element on the crankshaft pulley, and then secure it with bolts and fastening harnesses. After installing the compressor, the gas-fuel mixture becomes more saturated, which increases engine power regardless of the conditions in which you operate it.

Refinement of doors

Adjusting the headlights of a Lada Priora with your own hands: video instructions

To add brightness and uniqueness to the Lada Priora, some fans cover the doors, and specifically the handles, with Diamond Chip vinyl film. This material is durable and shiny, which is especially noticeable in the sun.

To cover interior elements with diamond chips, you need to outline and cut out the required piece of material. Glue it using Moment glue. Carefully smooth it out with your fingers, working through each protrusion.

As a result, the appearance of the tuned interior will change under the influence of sunlight. On a cloudy day, diamond chips look like an ordinary matte surface, but on sunny days they will shimmer with light and light up with a million lights.

Design features of Lada Priora

The design of the Priora is practically no different from the tens. The only exception is the engine, and if the 2110 could be found with both a carburetor and an injector, then the Priora has only injection engines with a 16-valve head. Since 2008, the car plant has been producing Priors in the hatchback body. It is believed that this type of body will attract a youth audience more, and judging by the experience of the 112th Lada, this is so.

Since 2008, a luxury version of the Priora Hatchback has been produced, which included the following previously unavailable options:

climate system;
fog lights;
frontal airbag;
heated front seats;
full power accessories and parking sensors.

Despite such an abundance of comfort in the cabin and quite good technical characteristics, as usual, there are a lot of people who want to improve the design of the Priora. The improvements concern not only the design, not even so much as it concerns more external data of the car. We have selected photos of the Priora hatchback tuning on the page, and while you are admiring folk art, we will tell you about the main trends that the tuners of this car follow.

A little information

The history of this family of passenger cars began in 2009, when the first sedan, designated 2170, rolled off the assembly line. Following it, a year later, a station wagon appeared, which was labeled as 2171, as well as a hatchback 2172. But as already noted, the largest Among these three cars, the station wagon gained popularity.

In the process of creating these cars, the designers used previously well-proven components and assemblies. The same components of the car that caused criticism were replaced. In general, Priora received more than 200 new elements and components that had not previously been used on VAZ cars. The creators did a good job with the interior of the car and its exterior.

As for the characteristics of the Lada Priora station wagon, these cars received quite reliable naturally aspirated 1.6-liter engines, with a 16-valve timing belt, producing 96 hp. With. This engine allows you to accelerate the car to a maximum of 183 km/h. At the same time, the fuel consumption of the Priora station wagon in city conditions is 9.8 liters, while on the highway consumption drops to 5.6 liters.

Engine tuning Priora hatchback

The 1.6-liter Priora engine showed itself well even in the tenth family, but over ten years it has become somewhat old mentally and physically. Therefore, it is a completely legitimate desire of the owners of a hatchback, which involves more active driving, to give the engine a little pepper. You can’t have too much pepper, since the designers have lightened the pistons and connecting rods. That's why many people do it easier. Increases engine power without even getting your hands dirty. Chip tuning, and no fraud.

Chip tuning of the Priora hatchback is carried out within certain limits, since any adjustment, even the most insignificant, can lead to a change in the characteristics of the entire engine. As a rule, chip tuning of a Priora engine involves a productive increase in power. This is achieved by making changes to the control programs that are embedded in the ECU. You need to understand that you won’t be able to increase the power indefinitely - 1.6 liters of volume is not rubber, and the engine’s capabilities are not unlimited. The tensile strength of each part, as well as its service life, are calculated by engineers, and if this threshold is crossed, the service life of the motor will drop several times. There are certain factory standards that regulate any changes in the software control of the motor. Therefore, the specialist who will reflash the ECU must know and take them into account.

External tuning of Priora hatchback

The range of plastic parts and additional accessories for Priora is so large that this list will not fit on any server. There are frankly useless and stupid accessories that only interfere with the machine’s operation, but there are also useful ones. The following methods of external tuning of the Priora hatchback are most often used:

Plastic spoilers and body kits, anti-wings. Before buying such beauty, you need to make sure at least the quality of the plastic from which the body kit or bumper is made. The stock Priora bumpers don’t do much for safety anyway, but if they are replaced with makeshift plastic buckets, then there’s no need to talk about safety. Also, don’t be tempted by large-area spoilers and fairings. No one has ever tested their work in a wind tunnel, so the result from their use may be exactly the opposite of what was expected.
Changes in Priora optics are a sore point for most. Gas-discharge light, which is essentially prohibited, is also prohibited in Priora. At least today. It cannot be legalized, so xenon lovers remain outside the law. In the event that xenon is not provided by the manufacturer. Therefore, we will not rub salt in the wound. But the LED optics, at least on the rear lights, have not yet caused any complaints from the traffic police, so you can diversify the appearance of the car with such an LED cocktail, as shown in the photo of the Priora hatchback tuning.

Dashboard upgrade

The main problem with the Priora dashboard is that it creaks a lot. The entire panel is made of fragile plastic. This is the source of creaking and rattling. Car enthusiasts who are tired of listening to these sounds glue all the joints on the dashboard with bitoplast (an alternative material is modelin, but the sound-absorbing properties of bitoplast are still better).

How to do

Before gluing, the panel will have to be removed from the car. To remove it, you only need a Phillips screwdriver.

To remove the entire panel, you only need a screwdriver

All joints and places of contact of plastic parts are covered with a layer of bitoplast. Any universal glue will be suitable for this operation.

Bitoplast is ideal for gluing panels

The edge of the air duct should be glued especially carefully

Interior, sound and lighting

The interior of the stock Priora looks very modest, but decent. And if you compare it with its classmates from Europe, the same Opel Astra of the late 90s, the first generation Ford Focus, then Priora has not lost face. It is, of course, far from modern cars, which is why owners use all possible means to improve the interior of their favorite hatchback. We have presented several options for such tuning in this section.

LED lighting has become popular, coming from black neighborhoods through Hollywood masterpieces. They illuminate everything with LEDs: doorways, the instrument panel, they are used as the main interior lighting, and they also find more exotic options that, fortunately, are not visible during daylight hours.

Priora is a good choice to try your hand at amateur tuning, and at the same time to give your car uniqueness and inimitable individual characteristics that the manufacturer deprived the car of. Tune the Priors correctly and tastefully, good and smooth roads for everyone!

About replacing seats on a Priora

Priora seats are another element of the interior that many car enthusiasts prefer to get rid of. The reason is simple: the standard seats are not comfortable. And this feels very good on long journeys. Most often, instead of the standard ones, the Priora is equipped with seats from a Mazda 6 (second generation). These seats are distinguished by the highest comfort, and in addition, their dimensions are almost the same as those of the standard “Prior” ones.

The Mazda 6 is an ideal “seat donor” for the Priora

But these seats have serious problems with fastenings. It will have to be cut off almost completely, and then welded again, fitting it to the Priora mounting holes. It is impossible to do all this in the garage without a grinder, a welding machine and the skills to work with it. Therefore, there is only one option: take the car to a car service center, having previously agreed on a price. Now the cost of installing Mazda seats on a Priora starts from 20 thousand rubles.

Engine change

The Priora engine provides ample opportunities for tuning. Most often, car enthusiasts bore the cylinder block and install shortened pistons in the engine. Such pistons, in turn, require replacing the crankshaft. As a result, the characteristics of the engine are completely changed, and its power can increase by 35%. But there is a minus: fuel consumption will also increase. Therefore, not all car enthusiasts decide to undertake such radical engine tuning. Many people limit themselves to installing mechanical compressors in the engine, which can increase engine power by 10–15%.

Cylinder boring is one of the most labor-intensive engine tuning options.

Another inexpensive way to increase the dynamic parameters of the Priora is to work with a carburetor. In this device, the jets and acceleration pump are changed (most often, parts manufactured by BOSCH are installed in place of standard spare parts). Then fine adjustment of the fuel level is performed. As a result, the car accelerates twice as fast.

Ceiling reupholstery

The ceiling is one of the weak points in a Priora car. It is easy to damage, scratch, burn and smudge. As a result, when tuning the interior of a Priora hatchback with your own hands, you must redo the ceiling.

The simplest way is to cover it with artificial suede - a self-adhesive velvet non-woven film. Tuning includes several stages:

We disassemble the interior, remove all rubber bands, seals and interior elements. To remove the ceiling, it is necessary to dismantle all racks, clips, passenger handles, visors, and other fasteners. It is necessary to disconnect the power supply to the backlights. We pull out the ceiling that is sagging

We need to be careful, so we lower all the chairs. We paste the plastic ceiling using self-adhesive tape. We install the ceiling in place.

Thus, our efforts in tuning the car will not be in vain. We will update the interior and give the car its own character.

Chassis

When it comes to changes in the chassis, the first thing drivers do is remove the standard brake booster and replace it with a vacuum one, always with two membranes. This doubles the reliability of the brakes. Stiffer springs and ceramic-coated discs are installed in the clutch basket, and a lightweight flywheel is installed on the crankshaft. This measure significantly reduces the vehicle acceleration time without premature wear of the clutch and gearbox.

The rear wheels of Prioras are often equipped with disc brakes from “tens”

Finally, the rear drum brakes are removed from the Priora and replaced with disc brakes from the VAZ 2110. The drum brake design is no longer used almost anywhere, since it is considered obsolete. Installing a disc system on the rear wheels increases braking reliability and requires virtually no modification.

Replacing the steering wheel

Some car owners do not like the standard Priora steering wheel and they prefer to get rid of it, replacing it with something more acceptable. This could be a “sports” steering wheel of small diameter, or a steering wheel of some non-standard shape. To remove the standard steering wheel from a Priora, you need the following tools:

flat screwdriver;
crosshead screwdriver;
set of hexagons;
24mm socket and long ratchet driver;
new steering wheel.

Sequence of operations

The Priora's steering wheel has an airbag. So first you have to get rid of it. And only then remove the steering wheel itself.

The negative terminal is removed from the car battery. Now you need to wait until the protective system capacitor discharges (usually this happens after 45–50 minutes).
The steering wheel is turned so that the wheels are straight.
The cover is removed from the steering wheel, under which there is an airbag. It is held on by 7 screws, which are unscrewed with a screwdriver.

The cushion cover is held on by 7 screws

After unscrewing the central nut, the steering wheel can be removed

Improved appearance

Here's what drivers do to improve the appearance of the Priora:

New bumpers are installed on the car (sometimes complete with thresholds). You can buy all this in specialized stores. Most often, lightweight kits from the Sniper or I Robot series are purchased from Priora. They are made of plastic, the cost of one bumper starts from 4,500 rubles;
spoiler installation. The products of AVR, which produces fiberglass spoilers, are very popular. Or the spoiler can be made to order at a tuning studio. But this is a very expensive pleasure;
replacing disks. On early Priora models, the wheels were steel, and their appearance left much to be desired. Therefore, tuning enthusiasts try to replace them with cast ones, since they are more beautiful and lighter. But for all its attractiveness, a cast disk, unlike a steel one, is very fragile. And its maintainability tends to zero;
replacement or modification of mirrors. The most inexpensive option is to install special overlays purchased in the store on standard mirrors. This simple procedure radically changes the appearance of your side mirrors. The second option is to install mirrors from other cars. Now that AvtoVAZ has updated its model range, mirrors from Granta or Vesta are often installed on Prioras. But before installation, they will have to be modified, since they are attached to the body differently;
replacing door handles. The standard handles on the Priora are trimmed with ordinary plastic, usually black. And they look very old-fashioned. Therefore, tuning enthusiasts often replace them with chrome-plated handles, “recessed” into the car body. As an option, the handles can be finished in carbon fiber, or completely match the color of the car body. There is no shortage of door handles today. And on the counter of any spare parts store, a car enthusiast will always be able to choose the option that suits him.

Lada hatchback. History and tuning of LADA Priora 2172

Story

The product of the Russian AvtoVAZ, LADA Priora 2172, was released in February 2008 and became the second car in the line after the sedan. The basis of the 5-door front-wheel drive hatchback, like other representatives of this family, was the VAZ “ten” - this time the VAZ 2112.

As in the cases of the sedan and station wagon, there is no need to talk about the Priora 2172 only as a restyling of the VAZ - the new model has been almost completely redesigned both technically and externally. The exterior, unusually attractive for our cars, was obviously created with an eye on fashion trends among the same “foreign cars”.

As for the technical qualities, they are the same in all models of the series, only the configuration variations differ. The Priora 2171 is considered the most equipped, created in more advanced “normal” and “luxury” variations. The 2172 hatchback, as well as the sedan, is also represented by a more budget-friendly “standard” modification. It is distinguished by the absence of such pleasant and necessary additions as, for example, an indication that the driver’s seat belt is not fastened, an anti-lock wheel system, etc.

The LADA Priora 2172 engine has a 16-valve mechanism, 4 cylinders, a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 98 hp. The maximum speed is 183 km/h with acceleration to 100 km/h in 11.5 seconds. The lowest fuel consumption of 5.6 l/100 km occurs in the extra-urban cycle, in mixed mode the figure is 7.2 l/100 km, and in urban mode – 9.8 l/100 km.

At one time, a test drive of Priora 2172 took place in the hot Crimea, so one of the central points to which special attention was paid was the air conditioning and ventilation systems. Moreover, the first is represented by components from two manufacturers - Panasonic (Japan-Taiwan) and Halla (Russia-Korea). The results of the operation of these systems showed good results and received high marks - the car was able to survive the hot southern climate with dignity. A unique breakthrough is the air recirculation function, which is simply irreplaceable in conditions of long-hour city traffic jams.

The suspension of the LADA Priora 2172 also demonstrated excellent qualities on the Crimean winding roads - the car ran smoothly, with virtually no roll when cornering. Various “roughnesses” in the form of small and large gravel, holes and hummocks were also easily overcome. Considering that the current state of the road surface in many regions of Russia leaves much to be desired, this characteristic is extremely valuable.

Finally, the car's passive protection measures have been improved - the luxury package has not only a driver's airbag, a particularly durable double floor, a roof reinforcement, door safety bars, but also front seat belt pretensioners, as well as an airbag for the passenger sitting next to it. with a driver. In addition, the Priora 2172 has an excellent ABS system from Bosch, which allows us to talk about a fairly serious level of protection for the car from unforeseen situations.

Interesting Facts

Initially, Lada Priora was created in accordance with fundamental environmental standards - Euro-3 according to Russian standards and Euro-4 for models exported to EU countries. In 2011, the countries of the European Union moved to new, higher standards for assessing the environmental friendliness of vehicles, therefore, from July 1 last year, LADA Priora 2172 began to be produced in accordance with Euro-5 standards. Since stricter control of this parameter is planned in the Russian Federation, the release of a Priora that meets the Euro-4 level is soon planned for the domestic market.

Tuning VAZ 2172

In order to eliminate existing technical shortcomings, as well as improve the appearance of the car, professional car dealerships implement Priora 2172 tuning.

Thus, technical tuning of the Priora 2172 will significantly increase engine power, and therefore make the car faster and more durable, which are prerequisites for participation in racing competitions. To do this, the Priora 2172 engine is tuned - for example, its volume is increased to 1.8 liters, an “Autoturbo” compressor is installed, or a turbo engine is assembled. For simpler tuning, sports camshafts and a receiver, a direct-flow resonator and muffler, an equal-length exhaust manifold 4-1 or 4-2-1, and other parts are installed.

After this, it is important to improve the maneuverability and stability of the car - for this, the Priora 2172 suspension and tuning of the Priora 2172 brake system are carried out: sports springs and hard shock absorbers PLAZA or SS20, a subframe and reinforced strut supports are installed, standard parts are replaced with professional racing ones. At the same time, Priora 2172 steering tuning is being implemented, allowing the driver to feel the car as himself and clearly drive it along a given path, as well as transmission tuning. An important condition for this is the purposeful use of the car as a racing vehicle - for driving in normal urban conditions, such characteristics can cause a lot of inconvenience to the driver and his passengers.

After the car is equipped to the highest class, it’s time to start modernizing the interior and exterior - styling of the Priora 2172 has no limits if real professionals get down to business. Update the interior trim by choosing a bright and stylish design option, cover the body with original vinyl, color-tint the windows to match the main design idea, install a decorative front bumper grille and complement it with LED fog lights, illuminate the thresholds, install a spoiler on the roof or trunk - options a huge variety.

All you need is to ask our specialists for help and hear specific suggestions regarding car tuning. And at the same time receive competent advice on diagnostics and maintenance of your vehicle.

Changing the exterior - what can be done and how?

Most often, when tuning, it is the exterior that is changed. This is due to the fact that such improvements are immediately noticeable and require relatively small investments. Just a couple of years ago, only a car enthusiast with designer skills could make a beautiful tuning of a VAZ Priora. After all, all elements were created from scratch from scrap materials. Today, exterior tuning is significantly simplified, since for this you can simply purchase a set of body kits and install them. You can significantly change your prior as follows:

Replacing the radiator grille. It is this element of the front part that defines its style. Some grille designs allow you to change the appearance of the Priora so much that it is practically unrecognizable from the front. It is not necessary to change other elements.
You can further change the car by installing different bumpers. Today, designs that have large air intakes are very popular. They are factory installed even on some budget new generation models. When choosing such a bumper, it is worth remembering that the Priora does not have an inflated body, and a structure that is too bulky will not fit. In addition, you need to decide on the amount of ground clearance - a bumper that is too low will complicate travel on broken roads, but at the same time will give the car a sporty look.
Another popular method of tuning Priora is the installation of completely different optics. Today, designs that use diode technology are very popular. The individual diodes look quite attractive. At the same time, diode light sources have a higher light emission rate.

The stops can also be replaced with versions with diodes as a light source. They are more visible at dusk, look modern and very attractive. The turn indicator is rarely changed, since they do not reflect much on the appearance of the car, but during operation they are more noticeable than standard designs. Of course, no exterior tuning is complete without installing alloy wheels. In this regard, restrictions apply only to the cost of disks, since it can reach several tens and hundreds of thousands. At the same time, do not forget that discs can become unusable if you drive carelessly.

Important! A popular method of changing the exterior is creating a spoiler. However, technically this moment is not needed, since it is intended to increase downforce only when driving at very high speeds. If Priora cannot maintain a constant speed of more than 150 km/h, the spoiler will only be of a decorative nature. During its manufacture and fastening, aerodynamic features are taken into account. Therefore, it is best to purchase ready-made versions and install them.

Interior tuning

Here are typical options for tuning the Priora's interior:

change of upholstery. The standard upholstery on the Priora is regular leatherette with fragments of plastic. This option does not suit everyone, and drivers often remove almost all plastic inserts, replacing them with leatherette. Sometimes carpet is used as upholstery material, although such upholstery is not durable. Interiors are very rarely decorated with genuine leather, since this pleasure is not cheap. Such finishing may well cost half the cost of the car;

The upholstery in this cabin is carpet with plastic inserts of the same color.
replacing the braid on the steering wheel. In any tuning store, the driver can choose a steering braid to suit his taste, from almost any material - from artificial leather to genuine leather. There is no need to make this finishing element yourself;
dashboard trim. The most popular option is vinyl wrapping. Cheap and cheerful. Although the service life of even very good film does not exceed six years. Much less often the dashboard is trimmed with carbon fiber. To apply such a coating you will need a specialist with the appropriate equipment. And his services will cost the driver a pretty penny;
interior lighting. In the standard version, only the driver and front passenger have lamps. But even this lighting is not very bright. To somehow correct this situation, drivers often install lighting for the feet and glove compartment. It is performed using ordinary LED strips, the cost of which starts from 500 rubles. Some car enthusiasts go even further and install floor lighting. It can be useful if you urgently need to find some fallen thing in the dark.

Floor lighting is especially useful when the driver drops something in the dark

What is needed to improve a car?

Chip tuning
is just about installing the necessary programs. To do this, you need to know various resources well or have a familiar programmer.
Body kits and spoilers
are installed using double-sided tape or self-tapping screws; you will also need a drill to make the cuts. Well, you also need the spare parts themselves: spoilers on the edges and body kits on the front part.
Optical tuning
can be done using eyelashes, LED strips, and tint films. For installation you need the materials themselves and a soft cloth.
Alloy wheels are installed in the same way as regular ones
. In order to exchange old ones for new ones, you need wrenches of the right size and a jack.
No tools are needed to tune the interior
. It is only important to buy covers, remove the old ones and install new ones. You can also put updated floor mats. And for the steering wheel, you can buy a special device that will help you switch music and fully control the player even while driving.

Technical improvements

Firmware or chip tuning

In order to improve the speed and agility of your car, you can flash the ECU of the Lada Priora for not very much money. This is done by qualified specialists. Using the firmware, you can customize the car as you wish, whether it is an economical car or a fast car.

Exhaust installation

As you know, a catalyst was installed on the Lada Priora. On cars with high mileage, it often gets clogged and fails, which slows down and slows down the car; replacing it is quite expensive. But there is a way out: replacing the exhaust with a spider without a catalyst. After replacing the catalyst with a spider. The Priora ECU will need to be re-flashed. For a more complete tuning of the Lada Priora exhaust, you can lay out the entire exhaust route. Which is not a cheap activity.

Replacing camshafts

Replacing camshafts with sports ones will increase the speed of the car and make it easier to accelerate and improve dynamics. Such work should be carried out in trusted service stations with subsequent adjustment of the electronic engine control unit.

Lightweight flywheel

Installing a lightweight flywheel will allow the engine to spin faster, thereby gaining speed faster. It was noted that when installing a lightweight one, the car has to move away at higher speeds.

Perforated brake discs

When replacing brake discs, it is best to immediately install perforated brake discs for the Lada Priora. These discs are very well ventilated, which allows them to heat up less and protects the pads from rapid wear.

Self-locking differential

A self-locking differential is installed in the gearbox, which allows both front wheels to spin simultaneously. As a result, a more reliable start from a place is ensured. Installing such a differential is quite difficult; the difficulty lies in adjusting it.

Braid on the steering wheel

Initially, the steering wheel on the Priora was trimmed with leatherette, which has its drawbacks. Firstly, it is very thin and short-lived. And secondly, this material seems slippery. This, in turn, can have a very negative impact on driving safety. Therefore, a responsible car owner, after purchasing a car, first of all strives to install a new braid on the steering wheel. Its size is M1. Purchased at your local parts store, placed on the steering wheel and sewn together using a clamp needle.

The braid on the steering wheel is sewn together with a clamp needle

Lighting system

First of all, the headlights are modified:

replacement of standard lamps. Initially, Priora is equipped with conventional halogen incandescent lamps, which cannot boast of either particular brightness or long service life. Therefore, instead of them, drivers install more durable and brighter LED bulbs;
replacing lenses in headlights. Usually new lenses come with xenon illumination. On the one hand, it looks very beautiful. On the other hand, too bright headlights may raise questions among traffic police officers. Therefore, car owners prefer not to take risks, and after installing new lenses, they darken them slightly using special sprays that can be purchased at the same store.

Working on dashboard lighting

The Priora dashboard looks the same on hatchbacks, station wagons and sedans. The outside is finished with “Soft look” plastic. The instruments are located on the panel quite well, they are informative and the steering wheel does not interfere with the driver’s seeing them. But the dashboard lighting in the Priora is very dim. This is especially noticeable at night. The standard panel uses 6 conventional incandescent lamps, which not only produce poor light, but also burn out quickly. Therefore, at the first opportunity, drivers try to replace them with bright white LEDs (and some car owners do not stop at this with an easy modification, and additionally enhance the lighting with LED strips glued along the perimeter of the dashboard).

Sequence of operations

To replace the light bulbs in the Priora panel, you only need a short Phillips screwdriver.

First, the screws located above the speedometers are unscrewed.

The decorative trim is held on by two screws

These bolts are located under the plastic cover

To remove the trim, the steering wheel will have to be placed in the lowest position.

The sockets with backlight bulbs are clearly visible on the block.

Trunk

Many people prefer to install speakers complete with a subwoofer in the trunk. This is done with both sedans and hatchbacks. And this is the most preferred option for lovers of powerful sound. There is only one problem: it will be impossible to use the trunk for its intended purpose. There simply won't be any room left in it.

Powerful audio systems are installed in the trunks of both hatchbacks and sedans

Not everyone is ready to make such sacrifices. Therefore, instead of powerful audio systems, LED lighting made from the strips mentioned above is often installed in the trunk. This is a very common phenomenon, because the standard lighting in the trunk and rear parcel shelf has never been bright.

Increased sound insulation

It was already mentioned above that the noise level in the Priora’s cabin is quite high. Therefore, drivers usually do not limit themselves to soundproofing the dashboard, and decorate the entire cabin with sound-absorbing material. Here's what you need for this:

vibroplast. This material has excellent sound-absorbing properties. In addition, it dampens vibration well. The optimal thickness of vibroplast sheets for the Priora interior is 5 mm;
isolon. The purpose of this material is to dampen those vibrations that the vibroplast did not dampen. That is why vibroplast and isolon are always used together. The thickness of the isolon must be at least 7 mm;
foam rubber The noise-absorbing properties of this material are good, but it practically does not dampen vibrations. Therefore, it makes no sense to use it without a vibroplast. The optimal thickness of foam rubber is 10 mm.

The low landing of this Priora immediately catches your eye. The bumpers and sills of this hatchback are one of the “I am a robot” kits. This hatchback is set very low, and there is a small plastic spoiler at the back. The combination of orange and black colors creates a very bright contrast, emphasizing the individuality of the car. Some owners In hatchbacks, an additional spoiler is installed above the rear window. On sedans, the design of the front doors is very often changed so that they move upward. The color of the spoiler matches the color of the sedan, so the spoiler is perceived as a single whole with the car. Another contrasting two-color sedan with a low slung. Sometimes very high spoilers are installed on sedans. , made of carbon fiber This sedan has a massive plastic spoiler installed, and the doors open upward.
So, the car owner is quite capable of changing the appearance of the Priora and making the car more beautiful. This rule applies to both sedans and hatchbacks. The main thing in this matter is a sense of proportion. Without it, the car can turn into a misunderstanding on wheels.

Decor of plastic components

The sedan is equipped with a lot of plastic parts in the interior; fortunately, many of them have light colors and can be easily repainted. The process requires not only a respirator and gloves, but also a degreasing liquid and primer. During operation, it is important to prevent the formation of drips.

Another way to improve the appearance of plastic elements is to cover them with carbon film. According to many car enthusiasts, this material is durable and looks impressive. The blanks are cut with a margin of 20-25 mm at the edges, after which the film is glued to a degreased surface. Edges and curves are blow-dried to prevent kinks and kinks.

Following the Lada Priora sedan, which replaced the models of the 10th family, AvtoVAZ also released models based on this car with other body types - hatchback and station wagon. Moreover, the latter turned out to be the most successful modification in this family. But these models are serial, therefore they are of the same type, and do not stand out in the general stream. Therefore, many owners of the Priora station wagon decide to carry out tuning in order to highlight their car and make it different from others.

We improve technical indicators

The Priora station wagon model is already quite well equipped from the factory, which makes it a completely modern car. We are talking about standard equipment of cars with parking sensors, all kinds of sensors, airbags, automatically controlled optics and much more. The designers also announced a possible increase in the power of the power plant, but it is unknown when the new engine will appear. Those who don’t want to wait for an update to this car do tuning the Priora station wagon with their own hands to improve the car’s performance.

It is best to start tuning a Priora station wagon with the technical component. Making a number of design changes can improve the engine performance quite well. But carrying out such modifications is a costly and time-consuming task. But such tuning Priors can “boast” of an engine with increased volume and, accordingly, power.

The essence of engine modification is to increase the volume of the cylinder by boring them. Together with the block, its head is also being modified, in which the cross-section of the windows has to be increased, followed by grinding. In addition, when assembling the power unit, it is recommended to use tuning and lightweight components - valves, flywheel, intake and exhaust manifolds, etc.

It’s worth starting tuning a Lada Priora station wagon from the engine, if only because this is the most difficult part of modifying the car. And if you managed to improve the engine, other types of improvements are already easier to carry out.

If you take the transmission, it does not require any special modifications. One of the options for improving this part of the car is to install a short-stroke rocker on the gearbox, as well as install self-locking differentials in the drive. In general, the tuning of the transmission can be considered complete.

A little on the suspension. In the factory version, the ground clearance allows this car to be driven on any road. But many car owners, in the process of modifications, lower the car by shortening the suspension springs, but it is better not to do this. On the contrary, to increase the load capacity and ensure good cross-country ability, it is better to increase the ground clearance of the Priora station wagon, for which special spacers are used in the suspension struts.
