Photo tuning VAZ 2112 - a lot of cool tuning photos

Tuning VAZ 2112 is simple and stylish

Tuning of domestic cars is of constant interest to car enthusiasts. With the advent of the VAZ hatchback body type, implemented in the VAZ 2112, the opportunity arose to experiment with this type of car. Tuning the VAZ 2112 (photo below) is the most popular, because in the line of similar cars it is the best option.

Thanks to the fact that the developers have made the body smaller, the car has become more convenient to drive. Also a plus is its maneuverability when cornering, which makes the VAZ 2112 look like a sports car.

What sets this model apart is the presence of a more attractive design of the interior space. The car has universal properties, especially when transporting luggage and cargo. About the same as the VAZ 2109, the tuning of which is similar to the tuning of the VAZ 2112. The comfortable rear backrest of the car allows it to accommodate sufficient volumes. And since it folds separately into two parts, both the passenger and the cargo being transported can fit in the back.

ABOUT REPLACING SEATS

The seats on the VAZ 2112 cannot be called comfortable. This is especially noticeable on long trips. So, at the first opportunity, drivers put seats from other cars on the “two-wheeler.” As a rule, Skoda Octavia acts as a “seat donor”.

It is impossible to install the seats from this car on a VAZ 2112 in the garage, since serious adjustment of the fasteners and welding are required. There is only one option: use the services of specialists with the appropriate equipment.

We carry out tuning of VAZ 2112 ourselves

The VAZ 2112 car is a completely complete and convenient model, which cannot be said about the VAZ 2106, for example. But, as you know, there is no limit to perfection, and any tuner will always find something to improve. In this case, car styling is perfect. To do this, use additional parts that allow you to change the appearance. You can also improve the aerodynamics of the car. For tuning the VAZ 2112 (photo), backlight can be installed. Usually it is done under the bottom of the car, especially since the ground clearance of this car allows it.

You can also tune the interior of the VAZ 2112 yourself, which means replacing the seats with a sports version and installing some devices. As for improving technical performance, it depends on the type of engine. Depending on this, one or another procedure will be carried out.

The VAZ 2112 handles quite well, but to achieve even better results you can work on the steering. To do this, you can install power steering, as well as a new steering mechanism. The braking system also deserves attention. To improve it, it is necessary to install new parts.

External styling of the twelfth model

To make visible changes to the car, it is necessary to add new parts to it. A body kit can be such an excellent design solution. They are different. Depending on the preferences of the car owner, you can choose the right model. There are sports options, and there are body kit models that emphasize the style and individuality of the car. The VAZ 2112 will immediately look like an American car.

Thus, do-it-yourself tuning for the VAZ 2112 becomes a real creative process. A sports body kit will help you feel more confident even at high speeds, thanks to its well-thought-out design. But the stylish aerodynamic body kit, which has an impressive air intake, can easily cope with cooling the engine and brake system.

To improve the appearance, you can also work on the lighting. You can illuminate not only the bottom, but also the rear headlights by installing diode lighting in them. Heating the windshield can also be a practical tuning option. In winter, this allows you to significantly save time on clearing snow from glass. In summer, such a system will prevent the car from fogging up. This gives you efficiency and practicality in one package.

Tuning the interior of the VAZ 2112

As for the car's interior, this is perhaps the most favorite part of the car for tuning enthusiasts. Here they can experiment, but in general, everything here is the same as when tuning a VAZ 2109. Very often they like to highlight the interior. The usual illumination of instruments on the panel will no longer surprise anyone. Is it difficult to create a starry sky in the cabin?

It turns out that this is a feasible task for everyone. It is enough to install a large number of LEDs on the ceiling, and the sky will shine. This type of interior will not only serve as a backlight, but will also delight and surprise passengers.

It is also possible to replace the ceiling with an identical ceiling from Priora. It fits perfectly. The same can be done with door trim. In this case, for a VAZ, do-it-yourself tuning (2112) is a completely doable task. For your favorite passengers, you can install a mirror in the sun visors. It seems like a small thing, but it’s nice.

Tuning technical parts of VAZ 2112

To tune the VAZ 2112 engine, you need to increase its volume. It is determined depending on the piston diameter and stroke. To increase this volume, there are two options: use the factory version or make the increase yourself. In the latter case, it is necessary to change the factory stroke, but there will be no significant increase in volume.

You can also chip tune the engine, choosing between two options: economical and sporty. Of course, the sports option involves improving the dynamic performance of the car when driving in urban conditions. In this option, you must be prepared for increased fuel consumption. Economy mode allows you to reduce fuel consumption in the city. By the way, chip tuning of the VAZ 2114 is also strongly recommended by experts, because it has a very beneficial effect on the fuel consumption of the VAZ.

The procedure is carried out using special equipment, so in this case for the VAZ 2112 (coupe) tuning should be carried out by a specialist in this field. If you are confident in your knowledge and skills, then you can easily do everything yourself.

CEILING COVERING

The material from which the ceiling covering in the VAZ 2112 is made gets dirty very quickly. Over time, a dark spot appears on the ceiling, directly above the driver's seat. Similar spots appear above the heads of passengers (but, as a rule, later). Re-upholstering the ceiling covering on your own is not an easy task. But finding a reupholstery specialist is not easy, plus his services are not cheap. So VAZ 2112 owners do it simpler and simply paint the ceilings of their cars using universal paint in spray cans (to paint the ceiling of a “two-wheeler” you need 6 of them).

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

Painting the ceiling directly in the salon is not an option. First, the coating must be dismantled.

1. The ceiling covering in the VAZ 2112 is held on by 10 screws and 13 plastic latches located around the perimeter. To remove the screws, use a Phillips screwdriver. The latches are opened manually.

2. The removed covering is removed from the passenger compartment through one of the rear doors (to do this, the covering will have to be slightly bent).
3. The selected paint is sprayed from a can onto the ceiling covering (no preliminary primer is required - the universal paint is well absorbed into the material).
4. After painting, the ceiling needs to be dried. It takes 6-8 days for the smell to completely disappear. Drying is carried out only in the open air.

   
   The coating needs to be dried in the open air for 6–7 days.

5. The dried coating is installed back into the interior.

REPLACING THE BRAID ON THE STEERING WHEEL

The standard braid on the VAZ 2112 is made of leatherette, the surface of which seems too smooth to many. The steering wheel simply slips out of your hands, which is very dangerous when driving. Therefore, almost all owners of “dvenashki” change the standard braids for something more suitable. There is now a huge selection of braids in spare parts stores. The steering wheel of the VAZ 2112 requires a braid of size “M”. It is put on the steering wheel and sewn along the edges with ordinary nylon thread.

Clamp needles and nylon threads are used to sew the braid together.

Self-tuning VAZ 2110, 2112

In the summer of 1995, the first production copies of the VAZ 2110, popularly known as the “ten,” rolled off the assembly line of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. Based on this model, two more cars were later developed: the VAZ 2111 station wagon and the VAZ 2112 hatchback. When tuning the VAZ 2110 and its modifications, you need to know the features of upgrading this car yourself.

Appearance

Most of the upgrades associated with tuning the “tens” were reflected in its appearance. The main objects for tuning are the following parts of the car:

• doors, trunk and other body parts;
• wheels;
• machine optics.

Tuning a VAZ 2112 can be done with your own hands. The same can be said about modifying the “ten” and the station wagon based on it.

Wheels

The most often chosen as modernization objects are car wheels. Drivers are replacing factory stamped steel wheels with cast or forged ones. The combination of such accessories with low-profile tires gives the VAZ a sporty look.

Some car enthusiasts install 16- and 17-inch wheels on the VAZ 2110, the diameter of which is significantly larger than the factory ones. However, most drivers prefer wheels with a diameter of 13 or 14 inches, equal to the diameter of their original wheels.

Fans of off-road driving can increase the vehicle's track by installing wheels with a reduced offset. These wheels with deep tread tires improve vehicle stability and reduce the risk of rollover.

Before installing wheels on a car, you need to make sure that they are suitable for installation on the “ten” and related models. The list of wheels approved for installation on the VAZ 2110, VAZ 2111 and VAZ 2112 can be found in the operating manual for these vehicles.

Overlays

When performing tuning on the VAZ 2110, overlays are often used. Installing such an accessory is a stylish and inexpensive option for upgrading the “tens” with your own hands. The products are installed on the following parts of the car body:

• hood;
• glass;
• fairings;
• bumpers;
• front and rear lights, on which eyelashes are installed;
• air intake.

Chrome mesh trims look good on a car's radiator grille.

The cost of one decorative overlay is from 300 to 1000 rubles. They are attached using self-tapping screws or bolts. Sometimes double-sided tape is used to install the overlays.

Engine

There are many modifications to the VAZ 2110 engine to improve its performance. A list of engine changes that tuning enthusiasts can do with their own hands:

1. A zero resistance filter is installed in the engine.
2. Changes are being made to the fuel supply system to the engine. For example, jets are installed - dispensers that control the amount of incoming fuel.
3. A larger diameter throttle valve is installed in the intake system to increase the volume of air supplied.
4. The receiver is being modified.
5. Direct-flow exhaust is installed. This procedure is considered one of the most common modifications performed by car tuning enthusiasts.
6. Various manipulations are performed with the cylinder block. For example, new camshafts are installed.
7. The engine cooling system is tuned to obtain a cold intake effect.

Suspension

Often the object of tuning on the VAZ 2110 and related cars is the suspension. The following manipulations are performed with this VAZ design element:

1. Lowering the car. Despite the possibility of purchasing new lowered springs, many owners of the “ten” prefer to limit themselves to shortening the factory units, sawing off several turns from them.
2. Installation of helical suspension and adjustable shock absorbers - coilovers. Such a suspension has a high price, however, making coilovers with your own hands is difficult if you lack experience.
3. To increase the stiffness of the springs and increase the ground clearance of the car, interturn spacers - buffers - are installed.
4. To give the “ten” an extravagant look, wheels with a negative camber angle are installed.
5. Manufacturing of independent rear or front suspension.

Despite the ban on most of these modifications, tuning enthusiasts make the following changes to the car’s braking system:

• installation of rear disc brakes;
• installation of multi-colored pads on the caliper;
• installation of brake pads with a modified appearance.

Salon

In addition to body design modifications, drivers often make changes inside their cars. Common types of tuning the interior of the “tens”:

1. Buying a new audio system and installing subwoofers in the trunk of a car.
2. Improving car sound insulation.
3. Replacing the factory dashboard with a new one. An updated accessory often includes additional options, such as a temperature sensor.
4. Buying new heated and adjustable seats.
5. Replacing the original steering wheel. A new steering wheel is often adjustable.

Thanks to the favorable price-quality ratio, the VAZ 2110 and its variants have become popular among Russian car enthusiasts. The low price and simplicity of the design allow tuning and making changes to the “top ten” that improve its appearance and technical characteristics.
