How to tune a VAZ 2107 with your own hands - ideas and solutions

Tuning itself is actions aimed at improving a number of characteristics of the car: appearance, comfortable conditions in the cabin and improving driving performance. Typically, all this work is carried out with standard factory-made car models, produced in large quantities and having the same, far from the best, parameters.

Recently, do-it-yourself car tuning has become popular. Everyone who seeks to modify their own car wants to see it endowed with a unique and unforgettable appearance. Among professional performers, this activity is called external car tuning, which involves performing a wide variety of operations of varying complexity. As a result of the efforts made, the vehicle becomes completely unrecognizable among numerous similar vehicles.

Little by little, cars from the “classic” family are becoming a thing of the past, including the VAZ 2107, whose production was closed in 2011. But this absolutely does not mean that the brand will soon be forgotten; on the contrary, there are all the prerequisites that the “Seven” will be seen on the roads for many more decades. The fact that this model has already become a classic contributed to the popularization of the trend: tuning vases with your own hands and made it an excellent springboard for various modifications and improvements, because today working on a “classic” is akin to a certain ritual.

The simplest solution is to do the tuning of the VAZ 2107 with your own hands, which can make changes to the appearance of the car - equipping the body and headlights with a variety of overlays. The next level of complexity is considered to be airbrushing - applying original drawings to a car. And, finally, replacing the standard plastic body kit with a sports one - installing aerodynamic elements: a spoiler or a wing. However, it is not at all necessary that everything be done just by replacing the radiator grille and bumper; do-it-yourself tuning of the 2107 involves modifications, including vital components.

Engine modification

Refining the engine or tuning the VAZ 2107 in this unit is considered a relatively inexpensive activity, but as a result of these actions it is quite possible to obtain a significant increase in power indicators. It is not difficult to explain: the factory design of engines is not particularly accurate, and numerous technological deviations are not uncommon in them, already included in the nameplate power of the engine. After eliminating these flaws and inaccuracies, and introducing your own or someone else’s developments, it is quite possible to achieve significantly superior power compared to the factory version, a significantly longer engine life and its characteristics.

Carburetor modification

Tuning the carburetor helps to significantly improve the performance of the car. These works do not require as much financial resources as work with the power unit. Another noticeable advantage of such actions taken by a car enthusiast is the immediate achievement of a positive result.

Suspension modifications

When the time comes to consider the issue of comfort and reliability of control, the first thing you need to think about is improving the suspension, especially if you are considering tuning the 2107 car, because for production VAZ cars, improving the suspension will not only not harm, for them it is even desirable. The main thing is to take into account the need for an integrated approach to tuning the suspension and the car as a whole.

The rear suspension springs are not stiff enough. Alternatively, you can install parts from Niva. Not only do they fit great, but they also have great staying power. Thus, the car will be endowed with “sporting” qualities. That is why it is important that a car with such characteristics is successfully combined with changes in the engine, interior and appearance.

Interior improvements

If we take into account the classic design of the Lada, then every second owner who wants to tune a VAZ 2107 car has a desire to bring its appearance to perfection, to make it unique. If you figure it out, it’s not difficult, the main thing is to clearly understand what needs to be done and strictly follow the order of work.

Below you can watch a video about tuning a VAZ 2107.

So, then there is a proposal to consider in more detail the actions being taken to make changes to the appearance and design of all the above-mentioned components in order.

Engine tuning 2107

The car engine is undoubtedly the main component of the vehicle. And tuning in relation to it is aimed, first of all, at increasing power. This, in turn, causes the crankshaft to work intensively with increasing speed, which means there is a need to ensure ideal balancing of the parts in the crank mechanism. Possible weight in parts should be reduced to zero. Particular attention should be paid to the camshaft. By expanding the overlap phase, it is possible to achieve motor power of up to 30%, and this is quite a noticeable increase.

Of course, you still have to work hard to reduce the weight of the flywheel - during a sharp increase in speed, it takes power away from the engine. The next mandatory step will be the installation of special nozzles responsible for forced lubrication of the piston and cylinder. In addition to increasing durability and reducing the coefficient of friction, this action will also have a beneficial effect on improving the temperature regime of the piston head.

Leaving the cylinder head of a VAZ-2107 untouched in order to carry out a full engine tuning is out of the question. Runs here:

• Expansion of inlet and outlet channels.
• The diameter of the valves is being increased; it is advisable to replace their heads with more wear-resistant titanium ones.
• If the head channels are enlarged, logically the cross-section of the channels on the “spider” should be increased. This helps to increase engine power due to more complete exhaust gases and better fuel supply.
• If there is a desire to supplement the engine with a compressor/supercharger, here you can be sure that the engine will achieve a power of about 250 l/s, and maybe even 300 l/s. In this case, of course, you cannot do without altering the carburetor, but the efforts made will be fully justified by the result obtained.
• Another important nuance in changing the operation of the engine is refining the sound so that it becomes truly “cool”. This is achieved by converting the exhaust system to forward flow. Here it is worth considering that along with the bass, thanks to the direct-flow system, it will be possible to add about 10-15% to the engine power.

Noise insulation

One of the first recommendations for tuning the interior of this car is proper sound insulation. Why do it? Firstly, most of these cars already have significant mileage. Many modern cars cannot withstand domestic roads and require additional sound insulation after just a few years.

What can we say about the VAZ 2107. Important information! mental isolation is necessary for the following reasons:

• the higher the mileage, the more extraneous sounds appear in the cabin;
• when installing a new speaker system;
• to eliminate external noise associated with the operation of the engine and other components.

In addition, noise isolation is needed if you plan to install a high-quality acoustic system. You will not be able to appreciate the sound if there is extraneous noise in the cabin. Where to start and what are the main elements needed for such an operation? First of all, it is recommended to prepare the doors, the inside of the hood and the luggage compartment. But often, this is not enough. Many experts recommend additional soundproofing of the floor, seats and central tunnel.

Important information! Soundproofing is never superfluous. You may want to change the standard audio system. Extraneous noise will prevent you from fully enjoying the sound quality. In order to soundproof the floor, it is necessary to remove all seats and coverings from the interior. Sheets for sound insulation are laid directly on the metal. Before this, the bottom is treated with a special mastic. The first layer is already placed on it. As for the thickness, it is determined by specialists (or by you, if the sound insulation is carried out independently). In principle, one layer is enough to tune the interior of a VAZ 2107.

To prepare the inside of the hood and luggage space, you can use ready-made kits. This makes the task much easier, since the sheets are cut to the size of the parts on which they are laid. Before the material is glued to the surface, it must be degreased. The sheet itself is laid using a hair dryer. The kit usually comes with two layers. The second is a noise absorber. It is placed on the first sheet. At this point we can consider that the first stage of tuning the VAZ 2107 interior is completed. Now you will be much more comfortable inside the car. Extra sounds and noise will no longer cause you discomfort and you can safely buy a good speaker system. We'll talk about it a little later. Finally, one more important point. Over time (and perhaps this moment has already arrived), the dashboard may begin to rattle. This is especially noticeable on used cars. Domestic roads and build quality are the two main reasons for the appearance of extraneous noise.

In order to eliminate it, it is necessary to treat the dashboard both from the inside and the outside. The most rattling part is the central air duct. To eliminate noise, it is removed from the dashboard, disassembled into two parts and carefully glued (you can use ordinary thin rubber and sealant). By the way, it is recommended to coat the seat of the air duct in the heater with sealant. Another part that can make noise while driving is the heating system control cables. Of course, they do not do this themselves, but in contact with other parts. The simplest option is to wrap them in foam rubber, after smearing them with glue.

Tuning the carburetor VAZ 2107

This is a necessary action when making changes to the S7 engine. Tuning the 2107 carburetor itself is not complicated, it can be done even in the kitchen of your own apartment, and the effect will be achieved immediately. What we mean here is that the built-in power of the Zhiguli engine has significantly greater performance, which, unfortunately, cannot be achieved without making changes. Necessary actions:

• The first step is to remove the spring that connects the vacuum and the throttle valve. This will affect fuel consumption, approximately plus 0.5 liters, but the jerk of the car completely compensates for everything.
• A similar procedure applies to the secondary chamber damper - using a thin wire, you need to make a drive directly from the lever directly to the damper.
• The diffuser installed in the primary chamber is being replaced - from 3.5 to 4.5.
• The nozzle in the accelerator pump can be increased to “40”. This will not affect fuel consumption, but the start will be significantly faster.
• Next, the main jets are replaced. It is recommended to do this in increasing order, first installing a jet marked GTZ-162, ride it, get used to it, and look at the behavior of the engine. At the same time, if fuel consumption increased by 1 liter does not cause concern, you can install a GVZh-190 jet. Next, even cooler: replacing the primary chamber jet for a 1.5 liter engine - GTZ-130; for 1.6 liters - GTZ-135.

Helpful advice It is important not to forget about the individuality of each engine; increasing the jets should be done gradually. Otherwise, it will simply be filled with gasoline, fuel consumption will increase, and the opposite effect will occur.

There is also a warning that is better to heed: from some craftsmen you may hear a recommendation to organize a pressurized air supply into the air intake. This is absolutely impossible to do. The reason is intensive wear of the engine, and, accordingly, its failure. In this case, the air filter will not be able to cope with cleaning the air from dust, and the air pressure itself will practically not increase.

Front strut

The most popular element, widely used by many owners of Russian cars, is the front cross brace.

Its installation is carried out in the area of ​​the upper shock absorber supports, by securing it between the strut cups.

The main purpose of this part is to increase the angular rigidity of the body and improve the handling quality of the vehicle.

In addition, the presence of a spacer helps eliminate the “floating” geometry of the suspension arms, which occurs as a result of strong impacts on road potholes or uneven surfaces.

The main reason why many car enthusiasts, in particular owners of VAZ cars, make such modifications is due to insufficient body rigidity, which contributes to deterioration of handling, a feeling of “sluggish” steering and excessive roll that occurs when performing maneuvers.

This is detected only when driving at high speeds, mainly associated with trips on country roads.

Those drivers who spend most of their time within the city and are accustomed to a calm, leisurely drive may not notice these shortcomings.

The spacer is a fairly thick metal rod, either of a fixed length, intended for specific car models, or endowed with the possibility of spatial adjustment, facilitating the installation of the element on different cars.

Its installation is carried out when the machine is placed on a flat surface by screwing several nuts onto the upper studs of the shock absorber mounts.

If for some reason there is a mismatch between the mounting holes, the car body must be slightly “pulled” in the desired direction.

Installing a crossbar makes a certain amount of sense. You will not only significantly improve the car’s handling, but also extend the “life” of its body, thanks to improved torsional resistance.

Tuning the suspension of the VAZ 2107

If serious tuning of the car is planned, and not its simple repair, the presence of a factory suspension on it is unacceptable. Let it remain only in memories, and not the best ones. But what needs to be done is to replace the shock absorbers, it is better to choose good German quality, but in the front part it is better to make the rod 2 centimeters shorter, tuning the rear suspension of the VAZ 2107 involves lowering them by 4 centimeters compared to the factory ones. This will keep the pre-force of the shock absorbers unchanged.

Next, the springs are replaced; it is recommended to install spare parts from Niva. Only at the front you will have to get rid of one coil, and on the rear springs you will have to remove two coils. To make the car stable in the transverse direction, the number of stabilizers is increased to three, while at the front it is better to pair two stabilizers on one side.

Using adjustable transverse and longitudinal rods, the parallelism of the axles and the adjustment of camber and wheel toe are adjusted. After all the actions taken, the “seven” acquired a completely different look: it looked more crouched to the ground.

Next, changes are made to the steering, or more precisely, to the steering column. It’s easier to remove the factory one and again install a spare part from the Niva. The alteration can be called minimal, and you won’t need a lot of money, besides, installing an electric booster is available. Of course, you will have to do some adjustment of the electric amplifier to the speaker, but these are not difficult steps. In order to facilitate the operation of the amplifier, it is better to use needle bearings for the steering sector, and ordinary ball bearings for the pendulum arm.

Useful advice When working on car suspension, in any case, work must be carried out with great care. Personal safety and the lives of others depend on this; you especially need to remember this when reworking the steering.

Lightweight valves

Installing lighter than standard valves ensures that the valve closes quickly with a spring. For this purpose, expensive light alloy valves are used. This method of modernization provides greater efficiency and normalization of valve timing at high speeds.

When tuning valves, you can install upgraded valves with a special shape of the disc profile.

Sometimes, instead of using light alloy valves, the valve plates are simply lightened. Less weight requires less camshaft effort to operate. Reduced weight rockers can be used in conjunction with lightweight valves. This will give even more advantages when using the machine at high speeds.

A similar effect can be achieved by installing more powerful valve springs. The valves also begin to close more quickly, but this solution has its drawback: stronger springs place additional stress on the camshaft, reducing its durability.

Do-it-yourself tuning of the 2107 interior

Improvements to the engine, brakes and suspension of the car are, of course, undoubted advantages for the “seven”. But, nevertheless, tuning will not be considered complete if the interior of the car is left without attention. This is a place that is always in sight, it makes a certain impression on passengers, and the owner himself has to spend a lot of time in the car admiring the results of his work.

First you need to update the interior trim. Not every driver will be able to independently make new seat covers or reupholster the interior with leather, so you will most likely have to turn to a specialist for help. The choice of material for work depends on personal financial capabilities.

Many who do the work themselves prefer to replace the chairs. Typically, models are selected that are equipped with armrests and have lateral support.

It is recommended to install electric windows on the side doors and replace the handles.

The instrument panel usually undergoes major changes. It is preferable to replace it with a new one altogether.

It's worth considering replacing your music equipment. It is better to match the color of the acoustics to the color of the new upholstery material in the cabin. To do this, you should first consider samples of possible solutions in the photo.

Useful advice It should be taken into account that the factory generator is not able to cope with the loads generated by all the installed additional equipment, including lighting decorations. It is better to immediately plan to replace it, at least with an 80-amp one.

Another little trick has to do with the original design of the curtains hung on the windows. This requires a minimum of time and financial investment, but the effect can be created to the maximum.

How expensive is it

The cost of modifying a car entirely depends on what exactly needs to be improved, what spare parts you will have to buy for this, whether you buy the service at the appropriate car service center or do the tuning yourself. The price of the same change may vary several times depending on your requests. For example, a simple installation of fog lights can cost no more than a thousand rubles if you take inexpensive lamps and do everything yourself. If you want to install it yourself, and even entrust this task to specialists, then be prepared to spend several thousand on it. On the other hand, tuning is not repair. The car can easily survive without these optional modifications. Therefore, you need to take a simpler approach to cost: if you have a desire to improve something and have enough money for it, that’s great; there is no desire or money - well, let it remain as it is.

Tuning the dashboard of VAZ 2107

In order to make changes to the design or appearance of the instrument panel, it will first have to be disassembled. Using a screwdriver, carefully remove the instrument needles. To remove them, it is better to use pliers, but in order not to damage the rod, do not sharply pull them up. The needles are removed from the speedometer and tachometer.

• The scale of one and the other instrument is scanned. The production of additional scales can be organized using a computer or purchasing ready-made templates.
• The scales are printed and laminated with thick film. After this, holes are cut out and ironed between several sheets of white paper.
• Similar to removal, in the reverse process, the manufactured scales are installed in place of the previous ones.
• When working on instruments, you should think about using backlighting. First of all, you need to take care of removing filters from large devices.
• The tachometer and speedometer are removed from the panel. The light filters in the amount of 4 pieces and the shutters located near the light bulbs in the amount of 2 pieces are removed.
• The diodes are glued to the sealant. Diode wires are inserted through pre-prepared holes and soldered to the power paths of conventional light bulbs.
• Installation in the car is carried out.

Blue LEDs look impressive. When choosing a lens shape, it is recommended to take a closer look at the “funnel”; it scatters light better, and the blue color itself creates the effect of a luminous scale and arrows. To replace standard lamps, you will need 4 LED and one diode lamp.

When planning to tune a VAZ 2107 torpedo, you should think about installing a new dashboard. But you shouldn’t discard the option of refining the old one.

It is possible to use decorative inserts for devices. To do this, the edge is flared, the rim is removed, the device is disassembled and the scale is replaced.

Making changes to the appearance of the instrument panel requires carefully sticking the material onto the panel; the work is accompanied by cutting out holes for the instruments. After the fastening of the material is completed, all unnecessary elements are removed.

Body

Tuning the VAZ 2107 body is the first thing that drivers do when improving their car. Work to change the standard design of the car includes installing a spoiler, replacing the standard bumper, installing body kits, repainting the car and applying airbrushing. In addition, the car's standard optics and wheel rims are replaced.

To give the VAZ 2107 a sporty look, special aerodynamic body kits made of plastic are installed on the car. They can be purchased as a set or separately, depending on the installation location.

Despite the availability of ready-made tuning kits for sale, many drivers create parts to improve the appearance of the VAZ 2107 on their own. Fiberglass is used for this.

Additional air ducts and stampings are mounted on the standard hood cover; in addition, it can be replaced with a part made of carbon fiber or carbon fiber. With full tuning, the doors and trunk lid of the car are subject to a similar replacement. These materials have increased strength with less weight.

When painting sevens, they use colors of unusual tones and colors that shimmer under different lighting conditions. A VAZ 2107 painted in this way attracts the attention of other drivers and pedestrians. As part of tuning, various designs are applied to the sides of the car. Airbrushing makes the car bright and memorable.

Optics

Tuning of car optics is carried out by drivers themselves. They change the design, resulting in beautiful and bright headlights with LED running and side lights integrated into them. The taillights are also changed to LEDs, and the glass is painted in dark or smoky tones.

Discs and backlight

Instead of standard stamped rims, the VAZ 2107 uses cast ones. Despite the fact that such tuning is financially expensive, and cast wheels are less durable compared to stamped ones. “Casting” looks more impressive on the car, does not weigh down the car, and the presence of additional holes contributes to more efficient passive cooling of the VAZ 2107 brakes.

Drivers install wheels with a diameter of 15 and 16 inches on their cars. Installation of 17-inch wheels is possible only when using low-profile tires, while the installation of large-diameter wheels is carried out with the preliminary design of welding joints for the wheel arches of the car.

LED strips are used to illuminate the underbody and rims of the car. In addition, they are installed on the door (LEDs light up when opened).

Tuning the VAZ 2107 stove

Many owners of the “Seven” express dissatisfaction with the operation of the heating device. Refining the stove will help solve this problematic issue. To do this, you don’t have to purchase specialized tools; improvised tools are quite suitable.

Judging by the reviews, the stove radiator gives off enough heat and there is no need to resort to improving it, but what is worth working on is improving the airflow.

First of all, you need to seal the air ducts: here you need to pay attention to the joints.

The simplest tuning, which does not require any design changes, is to replace the standard fan motor with the one used in the “eight” or “nine”. This motor is characterized by high power and increased speed. To install it, you will have to modify the stove body - remove the comb designed to direct air flow to the feet.

The impeller is kept original, you just need to drill a 7 mm hole intended for the motor shaft.

For such an upgrade, you will also need to replace the resistor with a switch taken from the same car model from which the motor was taken. These are mandatory conditions for the changes to be effective.

Camshaft replacement

The standard camshaft of the VAZ 2107 distributes power approximately equally throughout the entire speed range. To improve power at low speeds, you can install a low-phase shaft, which closes the valves faster. A wide-phase shaft that opens the valves strongly gives an advantage when operating at high speeds.

Therefore, the market offers several camshaft options for tuning the VAZ 2107 engine: top, bottom (lower) and universal shafts.

Installing a low camshaft is convenient for those who often tow or simply do not like to “crank the engine” to high speeds. An overhead camshaft is needed for those who are used to maintaining high engine speeds. It starts working after 3200 rpm, but at low speeds the engine thrust weakens and fuel consumption increases. Therefore, such a camshaft is used only for specialized sports tuning.

Tuning doors VAZ 2107

The design of the "seven" doors is not particularly complex. But, still, it is worth paying attention to the locking mechanism. This refers to the installation of locks with a locking system. In addition, many people know the sound of doors closing in domestic cars compared to foreign cars.

Door structures and locks themselves are of great importance here. In the latest models of VAZ cars, the locking mechanism is hidden inside the doors, and a wear-resistant material like polyurethane is applied to the locking tongue. On old VAZs, the lock is mounted on the outside of the door, as are other parts. During contact in the process of closing metal to metal, an unpleasant metallic sound occurs.

But there is still a way out. Domestic manufacturers produce silent locks, as well as silent bolts. They are sold in pairs, fit most cars of the VAZ family and are not very expensive.

Increasing cylinder diameter

Such modernization requires special equipment and the work of a qualified specialist. Boring the cylinder and replacing the pistons with parts with a larger diameter allows you to get a significant increase in power. However, such tuning is usually used only on an old engine with worn out inner surfaces of the cylinders.

Tuning the hood of VAZ 2107

It is proposed to consider creating an individual shape of the hood cover using certain types of materials and simple tools.

• First, a foam mold is laid out on the existing lid. This is not a difficult task - foam plastic does not present any difficulties in use.
• Next, the foam is wrapped in aluminum foil; if necessary, aluminum tape is also used - this is necessary to prevent damage and deformation of the foam from exposure to the resin.
• The areas where the fiberglass and the hood come into contact are cleaned. If this point is ignored, the materials simply will not stick to each other. Only after this procedure is completed, glass fiber and resin are applied to the surface of the product.
• It takes time for the resin to harden, after which a thin layer of putty is applied to shape it. To avoid cracking, do not apply putty in a thick layer.
• To level the surface, excess putty must be removed: for this, an emery cloth is used.
• The hood is painted and the quality of its appearance is determined.
• Next is re-wrapping the surface of the part using fiberglass and subsequent treatment with resin. The process is repeated 4-5 times.
• Once the resin has finished curing, the created mold is detached from the old hood sample. The same process can be used to create the shape of the rear trunk lid.
• The surfaces are leveled, treated with putty, and prepared for painting.
• Before the painting procedure, the part must be tried on, defects eliminated, and gaps checked.
• To give the hood lid additional rigidity, aluminum strips are added to the inside.
• Paint is applied, time is waited, and the finished part is installed at the mounting points.

Appearance

Among the most popular and less expensive modifications are the installation of spoilers and a wing. In principle, both of them are quite functional things (though, rather, for racing and sports cars). So, in addition to taking care of beauty, you also get an improvement in the aerodynamic properties of your car.

Spoilers can be purchased at any auto store. It's easy to install them yourself, following the instructions. Some craftsmen make the wing from light metals on their own, but you can also buy it in the store. Installing it is also quite simple (usually on the trunk lid) - anyone can cope with the task.

The radiator grille is replaced with a more modern one. This procedure will not take much time and effort, but the appearance of your car will become more solid (or sportier - depending on the type of grille you choose). And some also add an overlay to the front bumper. Here you will have to tinker a lot, since you need drawings, measurements and templates. It is better to perform this operation with the help of, for example, a neighbor in the garage who has already done it.

You can install alloy wheels and lowered tires, which will significantly improve the modernity of the car. It couldn’t be easier to do this - there would be money allocated for modernization, because four good wheels from well-known companies and four high-quality tires would already cost a tidy sum. Well, everything is simple here: I bought it and changed it (on my own or at a tire shop).

Regarding the modernization of light and optics:

many install the popular xenon. They also improve the optics itself through which the headlight light passes. You can also install LED lights: both the headlights themselves and the car body. But this procedure is not for everyone, since at night the car turns into a Christmas tree. You can get by with a mini option: LED illumination of headlights and dimensions, rear numbers. And very light - the bottom of the car. Then, at least, it won’t look too wild at night.

Tuning the radiator grille of VAZ 2107

The radiator grille is one of the main components to which tuning is applied. This can be explained by the fact that the designers and constructors did not take into account during development the fact of intense corrosion formation and the appearance of rust on the hood. This drawback is largely due to the shape of the product itself.

In addition, the grille definitely represents the “face” of the vehicle, so motorists strive to tune the VAZ 2107 grille and give it the most original look. It is possible to purchase a ready-made product in a specialized store. Here they are presented in chrome, with a matte finish of any color. No special knowledge or effort is required for installation; installation is carried out in old places with reliable fixation.

Another way is to do the work yourself using the necessary materials and tools. For work you need: a jigsaw, scissors, cardboard or plastic, fiberglass, tape, polystyrene foam, epoxy glue. The removed standard lattice is used as a mold to create a new product.

• The shape of the central part of the workpiece is cut out with a jigsaw.
• Using plastic or cardboard, a contour is drawn around the inside of the workpiece. This creates the lattice shape.
• Next, the steps are identical to creating a new car hood shape.

Salon

For many car owners, this is a source of personal pride. In this temporary house, the owners tend to collect all possible innovations for coziness and comfort, fashionable gadgets and completely necessary features.

To begin with, update the casing

. Of course, the leather interior on the seven will look a little strange. But it is quite possible to take care and purchase beautiful modern materials, paying attention to the selection of colors and the quality of the material. Reupholstery is usually done with the help of a craftsman who is well versed in this (because there are certain nuances). But you can master it on your own with the guidance of the Internet (on forums they usually share advice and even put entire master classes on public display).

Auxiliary powertrain support

The purpose of supplementing the standard motor mounts with another auxiliary module is to minimize the amplitude vibrations of the engine during sudden braking, acceleration and overcoming road hills or potholes.

Its presence eliminates the so-called “pecking” - inertial phenomena that occur during vehicle operation.

The presence of an auxiliary support also prevents spontaneous disengagement of the transmission gears.

This significantly reduces the risk of unpleasant incidents that directly affect safety.

Typically, it is difficult to install this component yourself.

A certain skill is required, which the average car enthusiast does not always have.

Separately, we will say that some engine models require the installation of a fourth support only after moving the ignition unit.

This, on the one hand, is an additional difficulty, but, on the other hand, it significantly improves the operating conditions of the electronic module, moving it away from the road, thereby reducing the amount of dirt that gets on it.

An additional support for the power unit is often installed during tuning of the suspension of VAZ 2109, 2110 cars.

Reinforced front stabilizer

The front stabilizer of increased rigidity is a means designed to significantly improve the quality of vehicle handling.

Its main difference from the standard part is the harder rubber bushings located at the attachment points.

The nuance of using such an element is that it improves the ride on smooth asphalt areas, but if you have to drive along a bumpy country road, vibrations in the steering wheel will become a real punishment.

Even the slightest impact will be completely transmitted to the steering wheel, which will significantly complicate the driver’s life.

A reinforced stabilizer is quite expensive, and we consider the need for its installation doubtful.

Perhaps only sports car models participating in road competitions need it. The average car enthusiast does not need this modification, especially when tuning the VAZ suspension.
