How to do tuning of the VAZ-2110 interior with your own hands: detailed instructions

Not every owner is impressed by the stock design of the dozen's interior. Of course, everyone prefers to sit in a car that is not only beautiful, but also significantly different in appearance from its counterparts. Therefore, it is quite possible to tune a VAZ 2110 torpedo in 1 day with your own hands. This means that some modernization of the car's appearance should be carried out. This can be done by wrapping the torpedo with material. Which type will be chosen is determined by the creative imagination of the car owner.

I must say that this is not at all easy to do. You will have to spend a lot of work and time on this. This is understandable, because the body has a lot of bends and some places will simply have to be stitched together. The buttons located on the sides will cause particular trouble. First, the torpedoes are removed. This is done in order to make a pattern using them. Mark the places where the fabric will be sewn. At the same time, do not forget to leave an extra centimeter of fabric in order to overlap. When making a pattern, it is better to use thick Whatman paper. Anyone who is not comfortable with thread and needle is advised to turn to an experienced tailor for help.

In general, tuning a VAZ 2110 with your own hands is not an easy task, and before you start doing this, you should think very carefully and calculate your strengths and capabilities.

Instrument panel tuning

Content

No one will argue that each driver has his own taste preferences. The way he arranges his car to some extent reflects his character. Sometimes you can only be surprised at the versatility and uniqueness with which drivers do this.

All this fully applies to the instrument panel, the appearance of which can be changed using the following actions:

• Application of overlays. It is better if these are linings located on the top or sides. As an additional equipment, air ducts usually come with them. In the original version, wood trim is used. At the same time, VAZ 2110 tuning receives a big plus. This makes the car more respectable. In addition, this pad is equipped with a fastening mechanism, air ducts, and parts for connecting sensors.
• When the panel is removed, the car owner faces some difficulties. He can unscrew seven screws without difficulty, but the remaining two will have to be tinkered with. They will have to be broken out or, by lifting the panel, simply cut down. There shouldn't be any worries. The new panel will cover everything. Once the panel has been removed, it should be prepared for installation. The remainder of the factory material must be cut off, and the sides must be adjusted directly during installation. We should not forget about the need for sound insulation. Otherwise there will be squeaks in the future.
• Tuning 2110 with your own hands when replacing the instrument panel involves spending a certain amount of time. When the instrument panel is replaced, it must be completely dismantled. Anyone doing this for the first time will spend at least 6 hours on this procedure. In the future, it will take much less time.
• When tuning a VAZ 2110 with your own hands at home, some elements also change. This applies to individual functional parts. In this case, we can say that there is a VAZ 2110 tuning of spare parts.

What can be changed?

First, let's look at what can be changed. The following types of upgrades are most often performed:

• Without significant modernization, it is almost impossible to make it comfortable. Such modernization means improving the degree of sound insulation. Despite the fact that the domestic manufacturer had previously announced that the car’s insulation had been carefully studied, this was not done. Therefore, it is recommended to begin modernizing the interior by increasing the quality of insulation.
• Another important upgrade is the installation of new seats. The standard ones are inconvenient, and over several years of use their condition deteriorates significantly. Modern seats have lateral support, lumbar support, and so on. The difference is significant. At the same time, we note that lateral support allows you to sit comfortably while driving.
• The central torpedo can also be significantly modified. Tuning the interior of a VAZ 2110 may involve installing a new torpedo or upgrading a standard one. Note that such a change will significantly transform the interior of the car.
• You can also replace the car's upholstery. If the point is that the old one is seriously worn out, then you can find the car disassembled to look for more preserved panels. It is also possible to purchase other panels from companies that produce tuning parts.
• Other changes can be made: installing a new instrument panel, gear shift knob, installing lighting fixtures or new acoustics. There are many ways to change the interior of a vehicle.

Sidebar: Important: In order to determine the scope of the upcoming work, it is recommended to create an action plan. A lot will depend on this plan: the amount of costs, the time required to complete the work, and so on.

Instrument cluster

Algorithm of actions:

1. The negative wire should be disconnected from the battery.
2. Taking a screwdriver, unscrew the lower screws and the two upper fasteners that secure the trim.
3. Next, remove the exterior lighting switch.
4. Disconnect the wires for the fog light and heated rear window.
5. Unscrew the screws that secure the instrument cluster.
6. The combination should be carefully removed and the wiring harness terminals disconnected.

Now it is possible to completely change the scales. You can also install LED lighting.

Options and prices

Today 2110 is no longer produced. The price on the secondary market varies from $3,000 (carburetor version) to $5,000 with an injector and a more decent appearance. The factory provided three modifications: standard, norm and luxury. The last of them was equipped with 14-inch wheels, an on-board computer, heated front seats, a spoiler and fog lights. In its standard configuration, the Lada 110 was almost empty.

However, after 2005, the standard modification improved slightly - now an electronic engine control system and an on-board computer were installed on the car. Moreover, for an additional fee, the car was equipped with a power steering wheel and electric windows.

The steering column could be customized. There were also ventilated brake discs, an immobilizer and air conditioning. In the production of body elements, only galvanized metal was used.

The car from Togliatti was many times superior to other VAZ cars. For those drivers who love speed, they have developed a ten sports class, however, it is already in a different price category.

It is clear that the VAZ’s interior is inferior in comfort to many foreign cars, but it does not look ascetic. Everything looks harmonious and there is ergonomics, which can be improved if necessary. The seats are quite comfortable and have headrests. The ride of the car has become softer and more stable. Alloy wheels were added.

Small tuning of the interior and engine

When modifying a car, you can provide the engine with a fairly good flow of air masses. Replacing the air filter with a more modern analogue will help increase engine power, which can reach 8%.

Installation of new optics

One of the modification options involves installing new optics. Tuning VAZ 2110 headlights with your own hands involves tinting them.

To do this, they use various methods, even to the point of simply painting them. Before painting the headlight, it must be removed. Of course, before painting it should be sanded and degreased. Heat-resistant paint should be used and the composition should be applied evenly.

Tuning tail lights

Don't forget about the taillights. In the factory version they clearly leave much to be desired. If you use the simplest option - painting, this will not affect the illumination at all.

Shumka

Anyone who decides to tune a VAZ 2110 with their own hands at home can also transform the interior. But for this you first need to stock up on upholstery and soundproofing material.

For upholstery of chairs, foam rubber is used, the thickness of which should be at least 5 mm. Aerosol glue is used to stick it on.

Illuminated seat belts and locks

You should pay attention to the possibility of changing the car interior by installing backlighting for the seat belt, handles and locks. Such changes are not only attractive, but quite useful - you can simply find a belt, handle or lock in the dark. In our case, we use a red backlight.

It is quite attractive at the right time and gives the interior a sporty look. In order to carry out the modernization in question, you should purchase some elements:

• Resistors and drivers.
• Wires, the length of which is 1 meter.
• LEDs in the amount of 4 pieces.
• Thermal gun and insulating material.

These consumables can be purchased at a fairly low price.

The job of creating the backlight consists of doing the following:

1. Tuning the VAZ 2110 interior begins with dismantling work. The seat belt buckle can be disassembled by unscrewing the bolt. Please note that there is no need to dismantle the seats. The structure is disassembled by slightly expanding the body using a knife or thin steel plate or screwdriver. 2. After completing the dismantling work, the LEDs should be attached. Fixation is carried out using special glue. In this case, the cable is also fastened using the method in question. 3. We check that these elements do not interfere with the functioning of the belt. Otherwise, modifications will need to be made. 4. If nothing interferes, then you can reassemble the structure in the reverse order. 5. In order to significantly increase the service life of diodes, you need to use resistors when connecting. 6. Quite a lot of problems are caused by wiring connections. It extends under the seat, then into the tunnel. 7. The diodes are connected depending on the needs.

The above points should be taken into account when considering how to change the interior by installing lighting. Tuning the interior of a VAZ 2110, carried out by installing LEDs, does not take much time.

Replacing door trim

To modernize the interior, it is recommended to replace the door trim. You should choose a plastic that is softer than what is presented in the standard version.

The color is chosen at the discretion of the car owner. It can be single or combined. The choice of fabric insert is carried out in the same way. You can make niches where the speakers will be inserted.

Panel set

When such tuning is carried out, the following nuances are taken into account:

• The clips do not always fit in their place.
• The screws are longer in length than those located on the standard panel.
• The diameter of the niche for the speaker is 16 mm. The loudspeaker itself has a diameter of 13 cm. Therefore, it is necessary to use electrical tape and other sealing materials.
• If there is a mechanical window lifter on the rear door panel, the holes for the handles will be 2 cm larger. In this case, the gap is sealed with a special material.

Changing the door trim

Such tuning has the following advantages:

1. Externally, the car becomes more presentable.
2. It becomes possible to install speakers with a diameter of 16 cm.
3. You can quickly replace the fabric part.

Unfortunately, self-cladding also has its disadvantages:

• The panel is expensive, but has low quality.
• The panels have such parameters that it will not be possible to install them on a VAZ 2110 without modification.

If you have the desire and opportunity, then you can order the panels from a specialized company.

Installation of electronic seats

Another way to carry out interior modernization work is to install electrically adjustable seats. You can install the electric mechanism yourself quite quickly, the procedure will not lead to large financial costs. The work can be carried out for all VAZ cars with front-wheel drive. The modernization work looks like this:

• First you need to select the necessary parts. To change the seats, you will need a power window, a 10A fuse, buttons for adjusting the position of the backrest and a sufficient number of wires to transfer voltage from the source to the installed motor.
• You can tune the interior of a VAZ 2110 yourself: first, we disassemble the window regulator: gearbox, iron disk - these elements are necessary in order to rotate the entire mechanism being created.
• The design should be slightly changed, for which a hole measuring 14 by 10 millimeters is created.
• Next, we install the entire structure on the seat. In this case, the metal part of the mechanism should be directed towards the seat. The metal part is modified by creating a 13 mm hole in it. The metal bolt that is initially present must be removed.
• In order to eliminate the possibility of damage to the mechanism, it is worth protecting it with a special casing. It can be made from plastic.
• The buttons can be placed in any most convenient place. As a rule, the button block is moved to the central dashboard near the seats. The choice of location for the block of buttons should be taken seriously, since if they are poorly positioned, a lot of inconvenience will be created.

The above work requires the skills to connect the energy consumer to its sources. Be sure to include a fuse in the circuit, which will eliminate the possibility of the motor burning out.

Engine and transmission

The main task of such manipulations is to make the engine “breathe” better. A car can be compared to a person, only he has gasoline instead of blood, and electrical wiring replaces the nervous system. Both systems require air. The higher the load, the more air is required. Therefore, the car needs to ensure good air flow. The engine power will increase with the replacement of the air filter. It would seem that such a simple detail, but power indicators increase by as much as 8%. After removing the filter, it is necessary to remove the entire throttle assembly. Of course, there will be additional costs, since it will be necessary to purchase an exhaust receiver. But it is necessary to change it, just like the camshaft, only in specialized conditions. In other words, the car will have to be taken to a service center. And this also comes with additional costs, since the car will have to be delivered there by tow truck.

Of course, it will be necessary to replace the exhaust system. It is possible to install a 4-2-1 manifold. According to this scheme, gases merge into two pipes, and then into a common flow.

It would be a good idea to modify the standard transmission. It wouldn't hurt to install a sixth gear. But it should be said that this will require a lot of effort and time. Although the result will justify all the costs. The car will reach its maximum speed very quickly.

Installing additional keys

Please note that additional control units may be required when installing additional accessories. It is possible to install keys on the central panel. This can be done quickly and easily. The procedure for performing the work is as follows:

1. The front panel is disassembled. 2. Excess plastic is cut off. 3. The edges of the frame are processed to a minimum size. 4. To place the keys, you should create a special base made of plastic. 5. In order for the structure to be sufficiently rigid, stiffening ribs should be created. 6. Buttons can be taken from any car. It is worth noting that, if necessary, you can make the buttons backlit as an indication. 7. If necessary, you can repaint the color of the key to match the interior design.

The result of the above changes is a significant increase in the functionality of the car interior. The keys can be responsible for various additional functions. If necessary, you can create a niche for a multimedia system, which will be responsible for many functions in the car: playing music, watching videos, navigation, and so on. You can purchase various multimedia systems, the cost of which varies from several tens to hundreds of dollars. If necessary, you can modify the front panel almost beyond recognition.

In conclusion, we note that before carrying out work you should always create a work plan. It will eliminate the possibility of problems and errors during tuning.

Tuning the interior of the VAZ 2110

At the same time, the emphasis is placed on qualitative improvement of noise insulation performance. Plus, the interior needs to be punched. They mainly use two-color velor. You can use tweed to match the body color. It is necessary to reupholster the seats. This need is dictated by the fact that the factory fabric wears out quickly. When reupholstering, the factory seats must be removed. This makes it much easier to get the job done.

Fragments are carefully cut out from standard material, placed on new material and outlined with a pen. For any constriction, reinforcement with foam rubber is necessary. Its thickness must be at least 5 mm. It would be nice if the seats were covered in leather. They will, of course, not be cheap, but they will last a very long time.

Specifications

Power unit

The first VAZ-2110 was equipped with an engine with a carburetor and “automatic choke” without the use of a choke lever, which is present in conventional types of carburetor.

The VAZ 2110 engine had a volume of 1.5 liters and a power of 69 hp. pp., which contributed to economical fuel consumption - approximately 7.5 liters per 100 km. A little later, a 1.5-liter injection 16-valve engine debuted, developing 94 horses. It had a DOHC type gas distribution mechanism.

This engine reached the speed mark of 100 km/h in 12.5 seconds, and the maximum speed had already reached 185 kilometers per hour. The technical equipment of the Lada-2110, which had a sixteen-valve engine, looked quite decent compared to inexpensive foreign cars of those years. The last engine update took place in 2004 - then the volume was increased by 100 cubic cm.

The dynamic component of the 69-horsepower engine is unlikely to impress even the driver of the 2106, however, reduced fuel consumption by 12 percent compared to the 99th often lured buyers. The maximum speed with such an engine is about 162 kilometers per hour.

Also, after a while, the injection 8-valve engine 21102 was produced, the power of which was already 78 horses. The first hundred was reached in 14 seconds, and the maximum speed was 170 kilometers per hour.

Despite the more modest power in terms of technical components, when compared with 1.5-liter engines, the new engines boasted more increased torque. More importantly, the 1.6 16v valves did not bend when the timing belt broke, as often happened with 1.5 16v power units.

In the injection version of the engine, injectors very often fail, but you can repair them yourself or have them repaired by specialists. This video explains well how to clean and rinse the injectors yourself.

But very often when you do it yourself, you can make a lot of mistakes and break even a very working nozzle. Therefore, we advise you to contact specialists who can repair the injectors very quickly and efficiently and even with a guarantee. Why do we recommend the “injector repair” company - because they can even undertake such repairs that everyone refuses, they work throughout Russia and the CIS countries, they have direct supplies of spare parts from manufacturers, and there is express delivery.

In addition to the indicated engines, in the Russian Federation you can find the “Ten” with a two-liter Opell X20XEV power unit, which a little earlier was installed on the Opel Vectra A in one of the most powerful versions. Having such a powerful engine on board, the VAZ-2110 reached the first hundred in just 9.5 seconds, and the maximum speed limit rested at 205 km/h.

Transmission

The VAZ-2110 gearbox is represented by a five-speed manual gearbox with synchronizers in all main gears. The main gear is cylindrical, helical. The differential is conical, two-satellite. The clutch is single-disc, dry, diaphragm.

The car is perfectly repairable, and parts for it are not as difficult to find as for other cars. It’s not for nothing that many people recommend the VAZ-2110 as their first car.

Suspension

The front suspension is independent, with telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers, coil springs, lower wishbones with braces and a stabilizer bar.

The rear suspension consists of levers aggressively attached to the transverse support, coil springs that act as a spring element, as well as double-acting telescopic shock absorbers.

Steering

Installation of a hydraulic power steering wheel is provided. The steering mechanism is rack and pinion.

Brake system

All models of the VAZ-2110 are equipped with disc brakes in front, which on the latest version are also ventilated.
Drum brakes were installed on the rear wheels. Engine modifications Lada 110

Bumper tuning

The main task of such events is the correct fit of the joints. When tuning is carried out, there should be no gaps or distortions in the bumper. If you tune the bumper on your own, you can use regular mounting foam or polystyrene foam. The choice is determined by what appeals to the owner more and the size of his budget.

Advantages and disadvantages

Pros of the car

• Available service;
• Availability of spare parts;
• Possibility of repair “in the garage”;
• Front-wheel drive;
• 16-valve injection engine;
• Improved security system;
• Low fuel consumption;
• Suspension adapted to poor-quality road surfaces;
• There is a hydraulic power steering wheel;
• The steering column can be adjusted;
• Air conditioning can be installed;
• Improved front panel.

Cons of the car

• Corrosion of metal;
• Small resource of some spare parts;
• Build quality;
• Unbalanced operation of the stove;
• Low sound insulation of the cabin;
• Constant monitoring of the timing belt;
• Equipment.
• There is little free space inside the car;
• It will be uncomfortable for three adult passengers to sit in the back.

Camshaft replacement

Such actions will lead to an increase in the parameters and general characteristics of the engine dynamics. The greatest efficiency can be achieved if the entire assembly is subject to replacement, and not its individual elements.

Algorithm of actions when replacing the camshaft:

1. First you need to remove the plastic timing belt cover.
2. Then the cylinder head cover is opened.
3. When removing the timing belt, use a pry bar.
4. Then remove the bolt that secures the camshaft.
5. The key and gear are removed.

Install a new camshaft in reverse order. Installing a new sports camshaft will avoid the situation where the engine “knocks its toes”.

Installation of steering wheel from Vesta

Another quite popular way to change a car is to install a non-standard steering wheel, for example, from Vesta. The approximate cost of the design option that was obtained after analysis is 7,500 rubles.

At first glance, the changes in question are quite simple to implement. However, it is not. The fact is that the diameter matches, but the spline pitch does not match. That is why it is practically impossible to do without more thorough revision. Please note that the bushing located on the steering wheel is made of a fairly soft alloy. However, the steering shaft is made using stronger steel. In this case, a simpler solution is to press the steering wheel onto the steering shaft - the softer bushing is deformed, and the steering column can withstand the force exerted.

The work procedure is as follows:

1. To begin with, set the steering wheel to a level position. In this case, you should make sure that most of the splines match. This point will significantly simplify the pressing procedure. 2. After several blows, the softer alloy is applied and the steering wheel is mounted on the steering shaft. 3. The next step is to screw the steering wheel using a nut. The clamp is held with a wrench. 4. After this, you should remove the steering wheel back. In the place of the splines that do not match, there will be notches. They should be partially cut down using a file. 5. After carrying out such work, you should put the steering wheel on the steering shaft again, after which, if necessary, the procedure is repeated.

Work should be carried out until the steering wheel is firmly attached to the shaft. The metal can be removed quite easily, as it is soft. The whole procedure will take a little time.

Tuning the suspension of the VAZ 2110

Motorists resort to its modernization most often. This requires an integrated approach. Without replacing the standard shock absorbers, even installing sports springs will not have the desired effect, and lightweight levers are unlikely to fully reveal themselves unless the silent blocks are replaced. Replacement of elements in the suspension is carried out together and always in pairs in relation to each wheel. This ensures uniform wear and characteristics.

The springs serve as a damper. With their help, vertical vibrations created by the road are dampened. It is also important to choose the right shock absorber. This will provide the necessary stiffness according to the driving style of the individual driver.

Today you can find three types of shock absorbers:

• Low pressure gas-hydraulic type.
• Gas-hydraulic type with high pressure.
• Oil shock absorber.

The last type is the most widespread. The working substance in them is oil. They are reliable and comfortable, but when driving at high speed they often lose their properties. The ideal option is to install a gas-hydraulic shock absorber with low or high pressure. This will lead to increased rigidity, which will eliminate roll when cornering. Today, Eibach springs are the most popular worldwide.

For the suspension to be in perfect condition, it is necessary to replace the silent blocks. In the standard version it is made of rubber. A good alternative would be polyurethane. This material is superior to rubber in homogeneity, which leads to increased rigidity and longer service life.

It's a good idea to tune the brake system. And the point here is not so much about improving ride comfort, but about driver safety. At the same time, the driver will have full control of his driving and will not have to worry about safety.

Wireless charger

Modern business class cars have many useful options, for example, wireless charging of a mobile device. Many people have phones that are charged from a special unit. You can make a similar base yourself in the car in question. Let's consider all the features of such a modification. Wireless power supply occurs via the QI channel. This standard can be used to transmit energy over a distance of up to 4 centimeters. The technology involves transferring energy between two induction coils.

A fairly popular option for installing wireless charging is to embed the unit into a tunnel. In this case, the mobile phone will be charged almost constantly, and the phone can be picked up during a call quite quickly. In order to tune the interior of a VAZ 2110, you will need the following parts:

1. A charging module that transmits current according to the standard in question. 2. A converter that can lower the voltage from 12 V to 5 V. 3. A heat gun that will be used to mount the power supply.

Please note that the charger model is powered from a 5 V network. That is why the connection should be made through a converter. You can create a special niche for the charging module, which will eliminate the possibility of the phone slipping while turning. The mobile phone power base is attached to the base using thermoplastic. In order to monitor charging, you can display the LED in a visible place.

In a similar way, you can create a special unit to power a mobile phone. You can also purchase special holders that are designed for charging a cell phone in a car. However, their use is quite inconvenient.

Let's sum it up

The VAZ-2110 model with a modern interior and exterior design has shown that it is not afraid of the Russian climate, and it is well suited to our roads, fitting into city traffic. The car has a roomy trunk, a pleasant interior, a fast engine and low fuel consumption.

The VAZ-2110 vehicle has especially many advantages over its direct predecessor, the 99th model. Here a hydraulic power steering wheel appeared, as well as its adjustments, which could only be dreamed of before.

The appearance no longer had such a “jagged” appearance; now it was a more or less pleasant car with improved aerodynamic resistance. The inside of the car has also become much better and nicer, which is worth the new front panel. But when it comes to quality, domestic car manufacturers still have a long way to go.

Although, if we take the low cost of the sedan, then it was fully justified, because the consumption was not so high, the power unit was injection and quite strong, and the maintainability of the car was excellent. To this day, you can quite often see on the roads of the Russian Federation, and not only, the VAZ-2110, which continues to serve its owners.
