The standard seats have been replaced by sports counterparts with headrests.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-221897-625058f68c7cb.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-221897-625058f68c7cb.webp\" alt=\"How to do tuning the VAZ 2102 with your own hands?\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Modernization of the VAZ 2102 If necessary, the car is equipped with a Skoda engine. To increase the power of the car, the air filter is being upgraded. From a structural point of view, it has the shape of a circle. The hood is pre-opened, the lid fasteners are unscrewed. The standard air filter can be removed. The seal is cut.<\/p>\n<p>The updated filter improves the draft of air masses from the corresponding filter. Then the sides of the casing are cut out in those places where there are no latches. The pipe is fixed at the bottom (under the engine). When carrying out such tuning, the probability of dust and dirt settling on the engine is taken into account. Mechanics recommend replacing the air structure 4-5 times a year.<\/p>\n<h2>2 Body work<\/h2>\n<p>Tuning Lada provides for body work. Experts identify the following reasons why the body rots:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>thickness of thin metal (it is recommended that the body elements be made of metal with a thickness of 0.8 mm);<\/li>\n<li>rust formation under the hood, doors and fenders;<\/li>\n<li>operation of the car in winter, when the road surface is clogged with chemicals;<\/li>\n<li>open storage of cars;<\/li>\n<li>rare cleaning of the car from dirt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In UAZ and VAZ, auto mechanics identify the following weaknesses, which are often susceptible to corrosion:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>under decorative overlays;<\/li>\n<li>under the wings<\/li>\n<li>thresholds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If corrosion is detected on the central pillars, side member, joints of various elements, it is recommended to completely replace the body. The rest of the welding work is entrusted to professionals. Various decorative backgrounds and overlays can be used to fine-tune the exterior.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-221897-625058f79f13f.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-221897-625058f79f13f.webp\" alt=\"How to do tuning the VAZ 2102 with your own hands?\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>car body<\/p>\n<h3>Taking measurements<\/h3>\n<p>Body tuning begins with control measurements of the main parts of the Zhiguli. Using a tape measure, measure the distance between the component attachment points and the vehicle chassis nodes.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>To accurately restore the original appearance of the car, you will need to correctly measure the body.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Using the control points of the floor of the body, the correct fastening of the floor elements is checked. In this case, the units and other units are not disassembled. In the process of upgrading the body of the VAZ 2102, the following parameters must be taken into account:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>diagonal dimensions of the rear doors &#8211; 983 mm, front &#8211; 1273 mm;<\/li>\n<li>from the center of the lock to the fixed loop, a distance of 889 mm is observed, along the back &#8211; 819 mm;<\/li>\n<li>distance from the corner of the rear door to the center of the lock &#8211; 863 mm, from the front door &#8211; 926 mm;<\/li>\n<li>a distance of 1397 mm is maintained between the central pillars of the doors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Painting work<\/h3>\n<p>The next step is to paint the body. It is recommended to pre-clean the metal from old paint. For this, sandpaper is used. For sanding large areas, use a sander with a suitable disc. An aggressive solvent is used to remove old paint.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-221897-625058f8ad4cb.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-221897-625058f8ad4cb.webp\" alt=\"How to do tuning the VAZ 2102 with your own hands?\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Body painting The next step is to putty the body. This compound is used to smooth out small dents. Putty is recommended to be applied in a thin layer. Then a primer is applied to the metal. If the part does not require painting, auto mechanics recommend using a paper stencil. They cut themselves. Adhesive tape is needed to attach the stencil to the body. Otherwise, use a special paint product that can be easily washed off with water. Contains glycerin, water, gypsum, dextrin.<\/p>\n<p>White spirit is used to degrease the body. If the surface has been treated, it will need to be wiped with a clean, dry cloth. You can buy car paint in a specialized store. At the same time, experts advise checking whether the selected shade matches the color of the car, which is indicated in the technical passport of the VAZ 2102. Otherwise, it will be necessary to put an appropriate mark. When tuning the body, uneven gaps of 1.5 mm are allowed. The front surface can protrude inward or outward relative to the fixed elements by 2 mm.<\/p>\n<h3>Deformed surfaces<\/h3>\n<p>If during the modernization of the body it is not possible to install a new part, it will be necessary to restore the deformed surface. To perform high-quality welding of the body of the VAZ 2102, a certain experience in working with welding equipment is required.<\/p>\n<p>To repair the deformed surface, various methods are used, including heat treatment. According to this technique, the metal is heated to a temperature of +650 \u00b0 C. To prevent the part from deforming, the diameter of the heating spot should be 3 cm. Gas welding is used to heat the body. The cutter moves from the periphery to the center of the part. At the same time, the problem area is leveled until a uniform coating is obtained. Similar work is done with a hammer.<\/p>\n<p>When mechanically repairing a deformed surface, a mandrel and rubber, wooden and metal hammers will be required. You can fill the dent with a special quick-hardening compound &#8211; putty or solder.<\/p>\n<p>Thresholds, fenders, front panel under the bumper and other body parts can be restored by resistance welding. This tool is used to weld a new part. Resistance welding is characterized by fast welding of elements and prevention of surface deformation.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For VAZ 2102, tuning is done manually using a set of screwdrivers and keys, a jack, a tester.
