VAZ-2109: tuning. Spare parts for VAZ-2109

Repair and tuning VAZ-2109 are different concepts. In the first case, the part changes to the same serviceable one, and in the second - to the spare part with improved characteristics, which is designed to modernize the car. Therefore, it is worth sharing these concepts. As for many cars, for the VAZ-2109 tuning is, first of all, the improvement of the quality characteristics, at which the power, aerodynamics, as well as speed and comfort are increased.

The concept of tuning VAZ-2109

There are several categories in which the VAZ-2109 improves its performance:

1. Improvement of external characteristics, namely the installation of sporting skirts, which are designed to increase aerodynamics and streamlining of the car.
2. Tuning of the salon. This type of modernization is designed to improve the comfort of driving.
3. Improved running characteristics. This changes most of the suspension, which leads to better handling and the position of the car on the road surface.
4. Engine tuning. This modernization leads to an increase in the characteristics of the power unit, namely, the increase in power, which in turn makes the car more speedy.

Thus, on the VAZ-2109 tuning can not only upgrade the car, but also completely replace the main parts, which will improve the main technical characteristics.

Outdoor tuning

External body kit and spoiler are fundamental in creating outdoor tuning. Spare parts for VAZ-2109 (tuning without them, of course, is simply impossible) can be purchased both in automobile markets and in specialized stores.

Another option is the manufacture of parts with their own hands, which is not easy, but really, given the modern technology. The main positive quality of the VAZ-2109 - tuning here is not complicated by the manufacture of additional fasteners. New parts are installed on the car on standard fastening places.

Let's consider how to carry out tuning of a bumper on VAZ-2109. In order to upgrade the buffer with your own hands, it is worth buying material. Ideally fit fiberglass or car clay.

It should be noted that when using the first material, the bumper is made from the ground up and many factors will need to be taken into account. In the second case, it is enough to have an old protective element of the body at hand.

For the manufacture of the body kit, we will need fiberglass, hardener, soil, putty, paint and a little skill. Let's consider the technological process of manufacturing the VAZ-2109 bumper with our own hands:

1. Since the fiberglass is sold by rolls or sheets, it will need to be torn to pieces, so that it would be easier to work with it.
2. Then take the first piece and apply a hardener - and so, a piece by piece, building a new bumper.
3. When the hardener solidifies, a new detail is obtained. It needs to be brought to its logical end - to install fasteners. These can be brackets that are bolted or will be mounted in the manufacturing process. The second option is more reliable.
4. Now it is necessary to cut openings under the fog lights and air intakes to cool the bottom of the radiator.
5. When everything is done, the part should be primed. Further, in order to level all surfaces, a thin layer of putty should be applied. When it dries, it should be polished.
6. At the end, paint is applied to the finished part and allowed to dry.

That's how the tuning of fiberglass parts is done. With plasticine, everything is much simpler. On the old part, the material is molded, and when it dries, it should also be primed and ground. Installation of fasteners should be done on standard parts, which will simplify the installation of the finished product.

Tuning of the panel and instrument cluster

The second most popular on the VAZ-2109 - tuning the interior of the car, that is, the modernization of the cabin. This is quite a painstaking work, which not everyone can do, so many people turn to the services of specialists.

As a rule, tuning of VAZ-2109 devices is carried out first of all. There are two options for upgrading and improving:

1. Replacing the backlight for color and gluing the scale of the cuts with new beautiful options that can be purchased in stores.
2. Replacement of the instrument cluster itself, for example "Mikas". It is worth considering that you will have to mount a new ECU that fits the chosen panel, and also flashing it.

No less often done and tuning the panel VAZ-2109. The most common variant of it is a constriction on a beautiful colored fabric, like "Rivel", or skin. Both types of tuning are good, but also are not cheap. Of course, it is considered unprofitable to tighten the VAZ-2109 instrument panel with your skin, if you do not do it yourself. The average price of this service in the tuning studio is 10 000 rubles and more. The ideal option is fabric. The average market price of a constriction is from 5,000 rubles, depending on the type of material.

Since there are different versions of the VAZ-2109, the tuning of the high panel is a bit wrong. In the standard, it does not need to be dismantled and modernization can be carried out, only partially dismantling. When the high panel is installed, it will have to be dismantled completely, to be tightened with the material.

Tuning chassis

At the VAZ-2109 tuning the running gear can also be done by yourself, so as not to waste extra money. In the constructive plan, everything is simple, and therefore the time and the manufacturer's book "VAZ-2109 Operation and Repair Manual" will be required, where all the processes are described in detail, and, depending on the edition, there are pictures.

Consider the main details that are replaced with the tuning version:

1. Front and rear shock absorbers. Often, they are installed from the manufacturer "Phenox". They ideally fit into standard landing fixtures. The average cost is 4000 rubles. For a complete set of 4 pcs.
2. Springs of APN. Their price is 3000 rubles.
3. Front and rear suspension stabilizer. It has a double structure. The cost is 800 rubles.
4. Ball bearings of the reinforced version from DMZ. The price of output from the plant is 500 rubles. Per set.

Everything else changes at the request of the owner. Experts also recommend changing the steering rack, which is considered morally obsolete.

Tuning engine and exhaust system

The VAZ-2109 tuning engine - a rather complicated procedure, because it requires accurate calculations to achieve maximum effect. It should be noted that it is best to trust this operation to professionals who know how best to squander the cylinder block and what valves to install to achieve maximum injection.

In addition, when tuning the motor, the radiator, the pump, the cooling system pipes, the throttle (in the injector) or the carburetor, the ignition, the exhaust system of an individual type and other details change.

Purchase of spare parts for tuning or manufacturing: advantages and disadvantages

The main advantages of purchased parts is that they simply need to be painted and installed, without spending money and nerves for manufacturing. And the main drawback here is the lack of individuality in such spare parts.

When making your own hands, the advantages and disadvantages are directly opposite. You can make the way you like, but it's time and nerves, and it's not always the first time.

Tuning as an alternative to repair

Often car owners, especially older VAZ-2109 cars, carry out car tuning instead of repair. At a price more expensive by 20%, but at the same time the car becomes individual. So, a thorough overhaul of the body or engine can be turned into tuning. The details are not much more expensive.

Search and purchase of spare parts

For VAZ-2109 tuning parts can be found in different places. This will help:

1. The car market, where something is not available, can be brought to order.
2. Tuning shops. Here you can find almost all the modifications and improvements, as well as get a free consultation from experts.
3. Internet shops. They have a large assortment of goods at low prices.

Thus, the purchase of tuning parts is not a problem, and a wide range of assortments will help determine any consumer.
