The legendary “troika” was one of those models of domestic cars, from which, in fact, the domestic auto industry began. Like its predecessors – VAZ 2101 and VAZ 2102, the car was developed on the basis of the Italian Fiat-124. However, before achieving the maximum effect, the employees of the Volga Automobile Plant made a lot of efforts to create a dynamic and comfortable car.<\/p>\n

1 Modernization of the VAZ 2103 engine – valves are to blame for everything<\/h2>\n

When operating the Lada, many of its drivers face some difficulties. To remedy the situation, and at least somehow adapt the car to modern conditions, the owners are forced to resort to tuning its internal and external parts. The first element that causes complaints in the process of leading the Troika is the engine.<\/p>\n

\"Tuning<\/a><\/p>\n

Car Lada “troika” To get a boosted power unit, Lada specialists often pay attention to Lada lifting valves. For optimal engine performance, they should be adjusted so that the maximum distance between the engine and the parts is 12 mm. After adjusting the valves, we get a more powerful engine. If you overdo it and “push” the valves further, then as a result you will only aggravate the condition of the power unit of your VAZ 2103. In this case, it is better to purchase special spring valves that can rotate much faster than standard elements.<\/p>\n

Before you start adjusting the parts, do not forget that the constant operation of the valves in extreme conditions leads to rapid wear of the internal camshaft. Therefore, if you moved the valves too much, install a new roller button shaft on the Lada. Such an element will take on part of the load, which optimizes the operation of the entire engine.<\/p>\n

2 New “eyes” for the national legend<\/h2>\n

At the end of the tuning of the elements under the hood of the VAZ 2103, it was the turn of the appearance changes. The first thing that comes to mind in the process of thinking is to paint the car. In this case, the Zhiguli owner has two options: use regular paint or a more creative styling method using liquid gum. Such a composition will not only distinguish the car from the crowd of others, but also protect its body from scratches for a long time.<\/p>\n

Painting a car with liquid rubber Another popular method for upgrading the appearance of the VAZ 2103 is a new front optics for a car. For such an operation, devices with a powerful opening are best suited. These elements work effectively in difficult weather conditions, practically do not fog up and have a long service life. To install them, you do not need all kinds of keys and nuts, because they are fixed with plastic clips. Thanks to this, do-it-yourself work is done in half an hour.<\/p>\n

Front optics with powerful aperture As for changing the optics in the rear of the VAZ 2103, there are several interesting options here. For example, you can repaint the headlights so that only the bezels for the headlights remain. To do this, remove the rear optics, rinse and dry the devices thoroughly. Then the lanterns are glued with adhesive tape and a round object is applied to their surface. After that, carefully circle the cover of the object with a knife, separate the excess parts with tape. In the process of tuning with your own hands, you can also replace the turns of the car. To do this, you can purchase details of a triangular or other shape.<\/p>\n

3 Refinement of the car interior<\/h2>\n

High-quality tuning of the VAZ 2103 is impossible without upgrading the interior. This need grabs your attention as soon as you get into your car. Firstly, the standard car design<\/a> is very dull and boring. Secondly, having swept in the car even on a flat road, you will clearly hear the loud knock of the dashboard. Therefore, in order for Lada to look attractive not only from the outside, but also from the inside, you need to spend some time in the car and do it yourself.<\/p>\n

First, we optimize the backlight of the dashboard. To do this, remove the panel, carefully remove the scale, trying not to damage the arrows. We put it aside and take out the standard Lada instrument lighting lamps. Instead, we insert neon or LED lighting elements and assemble the structure in reverse order.<\/p>\n

Adjusting the backlight of the instrument panel The next stage of do-it-yourself tuning is the overhaul of the VAZ 2103 panel. In this case, we need to get rid of the hum that the instrument panel constantly emits. For this we need the following tools:<\/p>\n
