"Moskvich-2141": tuning by own hands, features and recommendations

The car "Moskvich-2141", which can be tuned independently, is manufactured at AZLK. During the production was issued about 800 thousand copies. They are presented in two versions: standard and modernized with a motor from Renault. The second modification favorably differs in size, shape and running gear. Consider the possibilities of improving the car, the serial production of which is discontinued, but it can often be found on the roads.

Lighting elements

Tuning "Moskvich-2141" often begins with a modification of appearance. A great aesthetic and practical role in this is the replacement of optics. This is due to the fact that the native lights do not illuminate the road very well and have a rather primitive form.

There are several options for improving the optics of the car in question. The cardinal solution is the replacement of rectangular elements with round analogs. For this purpose, you can use affordable headlights from the VAZ-2106. Mount them should be two pieces on each side, thus it is necessary to do without installation of a factory lattice as it is intended for illuminators of the rectangular form. Alternatively, you can use a metal frame mesh, securing it securely in front of the machine. It is advisable to mount repeaters of turns, since triangular niches in the wings will need to be welded.

For those who choose this option, it will not be superfluous to install the turn indicator over the round lanterns or under them using SMD 5050 type LEDs. This light strip has 3 times more power than the nearest competitors. When choosing a fixture, consider their protection against moisture. If desired, you can use two pairs of ribbons or additional factory indexes that are mounted on the sides of the wings.

What to change in the salon?

At model 2141 it is better to begin tuning of this element from the torpedo. There are several options for replacing: "Nine", "Opel Vectra", "Volvo", "Mazda". Optimum similar to the "Audi A4". Before replacing the torpedo, it is necessary to take into account a number of nuances. After installing a new element, the front of the passenger compartment will be pushed forward and lowered to the floor. Certain inconveniences such a design can create high-growth drivers with long legs, especially during long trips.

In general, the considered option does not require fundamental structural changes inside and outside the car. Torpedo "Audi" has a multifunctional unit with control controls and an air supply system (warm or cold), and this simplifies its installation.

Tuning of the bumper "Moskvich-2141"

Most often, the front element is changed. This is due to the fact that the rear bumper still got a bizarre shape on tests, but it turned out that it shows excellent aerodynamic qualities, confidently resists air flows.

It is not necessary to throw out the standard model, it is enough to simply understate it. This can be done with a suitable size front "skirt". Further the bumper is repainted under the color of the car, equipped with PTF or day lights. Such a reformation will significantly improve the exterior of the car.

In addition, you can splice the bumper, leaving the top, and attach a new variant from below, for example from VAZ-2114. You can do it yourself using improvised means. Initially, the part should be cut by the Bulgarian on the top of the license plate, and in the donor set, the cut line is selected depending on the expected height of the finished product.

Recommendations

While carrying out the tuning of the bumper 2141, do not use a riveting gun to attach visible parts. Optimum - a galvanized building hood and a soldering iron. When heated, the sharp edges of the mesh will melt into plastic, and after cooling, firmly fix it in it. To give the desired bend, use a building hair dryer.

After joining the processed elements, it is necessary to conduct the filler joints with a special mixture for polymers. Then you need to sand the product with a sandpaper of fraction 800-100. Before applying the paint, treat the surface with acrylic primer, and after painting - with a protective varnish. When the varnish dries completely, the bumper is polished.

Carrying out further tuning AZLK-2141, use brand-name ready-made kits that can be purchased in special workshops. The set, as a rule, includes the following elements:

• Cover on the arches.
• Body kit.
• Bumpers.
• Thresholds.

These parts are assembled with a special sealant.

Engine gain

The most effective way to improve the performance of the power unit and reduce its noise is a complete motor replacement. As a donor you can use the installation of the "Audi-80". This motor will help significantly improve the dynamics and power of the car in question. In this direction, tuning 2141 with your own hands requires the purchase of all necessary consumables. It's best if it's the entire engine bought on the dismantling. Then it is necessary to dismantle the regular motor of "Moskvich", not dismantling it into small components.

It removes the old engine itself, gearbox, semi-axle, radiator. Then carefully cleared the place under the hood of the car. This operation must be carried out carefully, so as not to damage the wires. The gearbox is completely disassembled, its parts are diagnosed. Next, the original gearbox and the new engine are assembled. If all the elements are suitable, the design is fixed, after which it will be necessary to make a new subframe for the gearbox.

The next stage of improving the motor

Further, tuning 2141, spare parts for which can be found on disassembly or "on hands", is carried out as follows. It is necessary to make sure that the latches of the internal CV joints are located strictly opposite the hubs, and the power unit itself is in the longitudinal slope. Not at all it turns out from the first time. This stage of modernization is extremely important, it depends on the operation of the motor and the presence of extraneous noise when driving.

After installing a new engine, you need to weld the intermediate tube from the AZLK to the "pants" of the power plant from the Audi. A catalyst from a domestic machine will not be required, but a standard resonator and a silencer can be left without further work, like a standard stabilizer. Together with the power unit "Moskvich" will need to replace the wings. To improve the final result, it is better to carve a longer bushing, install it instead of the handle, and mount the handle from the top.

In conclusion

Tuning 2141 to conduct independently is quite feasible. Of course, we will have to spend a little, but with the right work, the result will be worthy. To begin with, you need to stock up all the required tools and spare parts. Further - the matter of technology.
