Tuning LADA PRIORA station wagon - tuning interior, engine, headlights, suspension

The leather interior looks rich and elegant
When choosing a car, the first thing you pay attention to is what’s “under the hood.” However, ride comfort also largely depends on the interior. Lada Priora is a car with good technical characteristics, but a rather mediocre factory interior.

It, of course, contains all the necessary details, but it is far from ideal. For Lada Priora, tuning the interior is a good way to radically change the car without affecting its technical parameters.

Tuning a Priora sedan with your own hands, where to start

When thinking about restyling their car, many car enthusiasts try to radically change its appearance, supplement the body structure with body kits, sills, arches, spoilers and other “decorative” elements. But we should not forget that high-quality tuning should not only change the design of the Priora, but also change its dynamic and economic qualities for the better, making the car more comfortable and easy to use. Otherwise, all manipulations performed are only decorative.

The main tasks that tuning for a Priora sedan must perform:

improved sound insulation;
increasing the dynamic properties of the car;
maintaining and improving body streamlining;
increasing the passive safety of passengers;
improvement of engine power indicators;
reduction of fuel consumption;
addition of interior parts that increase the comfort of the driver and passengers;
increasing body protection from external factors.

All of these tasks must be completed in a comprehensive manner, primarily improving the comfort and safety of the driver and passengers. As for the external restyling of the Lada Priora, here everyone chooses the direction of action according to their own taste.

It is also important to take into account the fact that it is not always possible to do tuning of the Priora sedan with your own hands. In some situations, special tools and devices are required, which are located in specialized car dealerships

In this case, it is worth resorting to the help of experienced specialists who can also give good detailed advice in the process of restyling the Priora.

Updating the appearance

The field for tuning in relation to this model is quite voluminous. The car is subject to both external and internal tuning.

In terms of external tuning, the following is most often installed in a car:

Wheels of increased diameter and a different pattern. The manufacturer has provided the possibility of installing larger disks (up to 16 inches). Most often, the owner improves the car by purchasing light alloy wheels - their cost is quite affordable, and the choice of wheel designs is huge. Forged wheels are less common, since the number of patterns is limited, and the price is almost twice that of alloy wheels;
Installation of additional linings, spoilers, bumpers for the car. Many auto component manufacturers produce special kits for external tuning of the Priora hatchback. The average cost of a complete set is about 15,000 rubles;
Installation of new optics. To radically change the appearance, owners install bi-xenon units and change the color of the reflectors;

Some car enthusiasts change the headlight units to LED ones and tint the taillights. All of the tuning examples given are suitable for both black and white cars, however, to achieve the best effect, the color scheme of innovations (spoiler, bumper, wheel color) must be in harmony with the body color.

Hinged roof rack

For lovers of outdoor activities and avid summer residents, a hinged roof rack will be of great help in completing their tasks. There are many models available for purchase, both from famous manufacturers and low-quality Chinese products.

Hanging roof racks are divided into several types:

Products from heaven. The most budget option (2000 rubles), a universal trunk. Installed using cross bars. The workmanship and durability leave much to be desired (although there are exceptions). The load capacity does not exceed 60 kg, and installation often involves fine-tuning the part for the car;

High quality Chinese products. The cost starts from 3500 rubles. Unlike their cheap counterparts, they are made of higher quality material, in compliance with production technology. Their load capacity reaches 75-80 kg, and installation is simple and convenient;

Expensive luggage racks from famous manufacturers. They are distinguished by their high cost (from 7,000 rubles), excellent quality and ease of installation. The maximum load capacity reaches 100 kg.

Installation of the hanging roof rack is simple and not particularly difficult.

You can do everything yourself:

Cross bars are installed on the roof of the car.
Using special fastening devices on the arches, they are securely attached to the body.
Then the roof rack itself is installed on top. Typically, the arch mounts are locked with a locking device to prevent theft.

Body kits

Installing body kits for this model is a common method of external tuning. Installation of body kits will require the owner to have a simple set of tools - a screwdriver, a meter, a level, a drill with a set of drills, double-sided tape, and degreaser.

But how tuning the interior of a Lada Kalina is done, and what you can do with your own hands, is described in great detail in this article.

It will also be interesting to learn more about how tuning a Kalina sedan car is done with your own hands.

The installation process of body kits occurs in several stages:

First, you need to try on the part at the installation site (side body kit - trim) and mark the attachment points to the body;
Then the place of contact with the body must be degreased;
Using a drill, make additional holes (if molding is being mounted, using double-sided tape will suffice);
Using self-tapping screws, secure the new part to the body.
When installing the bumper, it is necessary to dismantle the factory part and if all the holes match the tuning one, then install the new one on the standard mounts.

Why change the bumper

The standard Lada Priora product is replaced in two cases:

the old one is too worn out;
installation of an alternative model to create a more attractive appearance.

From a practical point of view, everything is clear. If the part has many abrasions, cracks and dents, operating a car with such a bumper is not only unpleasant, but also dangerous for some parts of the engine compartment, which remain without any protection. When driving, if a collision occurs with an obstacle, the most significant impact load falls primarily on the bumper. This element serves as protection for the cooling radiator and engine. Of course, it will not save you in case of a strong impact, but in minor accidents it will help you avoid unnecessary costs for repairing components in the engine compartment.

Lada Priora is a completely new car, which for the most part does not need modification, but still, with the help of tuning, its qualities can be improved.

The first step is to remove the shortcomings that are already associated with the hood and doors out of habit. The hood is stuck in the Middle Ages, and in order for it to stand properly, manufacturers decided to use the time-tested “Poker” in the old fashioned way, but this problem can be solved by installing hood stops, which often have a universal look.

Doors are a sore subject for the entire AvtoVAZ concern, as they lack sound insulation when closed. This problem can be solved by replacing the locks with a vibration-absorbing design, included in the kit, which also includes noise-absorbing bolts. To enhance the effect, you can also glue noise-absorbing material, which will soften the impact when closing the doors.

Then it comes down to the appearance of the car. The vinyl base, which nowadays often forms the main part of the beauty and elegance of a car, can easily be used on the domestic Lada

You can choose either a vinyl pattern and cover the entire car body with it, or pay attention to a chrome film for covering parts of the car body kit, in the form of a bumper, hood, wings. With a large monetary contribution, you can please the appearance of the car with airbrushing

Airbrushing has long been used not only in the automotive business. Using it, you can even apply your own design, which will fit perfectly into the overall design of the car with a new body kit. You can even order someone's photo to be applied, but this may look stupid and ugly due to the sharp transitions and corners in the car.

The appearance of the Lada Priora can also be modified due to the chrome base. This film repeats almost the colors of all available metals, and even gold color can be found. The advantage of such a film is that it really makes the car unique and noticeable on the road, but a problem may arise due to a disagreement with the traffic police, especially in the sunny summer months. All this is due to the strong reflective base and glare that will disturb other road users.

Carbon fiber coating looks very strong on any car, especially the new generation film. Previously, carbon fiber with a 2D image was used, but it was replaced by an expensive, but improved in appearance, 3D carbon film, which in some cases can make a complete imitation of the carbon fiber coating of the entire body or some of its parts.

The Lada Priora's body kit looks unique, but new features force drivers to take a closer look at the details for improvement. Particularly eye-catching is the spoiler, which can give the car the appearance of an airplane and, in addition, improve its performance. A correctly chosen spoiler makes the car ride more aerodynamic, makes it easier to control and even slightly lowers the bar for fuel consumption.

Another step towards improving the Priora is replacing the standard muffler with a new one. Muffler models can split the car into two parts, which gives it power and an animal look. The shape of mufflers can be very different, but in the form of a unique Priora shape, a round Japanese muffler with two outlets on the sides of the rear bumper is best suited.

Contrast can perfectly highlight the new parts installed on the car, namely bumpers, sunroof and sills.

Those who like to improvise with the Lada can use sensational tricks from films, namely installing doors on the car that open upward or a hood that opens on the sides, although such an upgrade will be expensive.

Tuning the front panel of Priora

Tuning the front instrument panel may not add shine to the car, since it is least noticeable even to passengers, but still, the driver himself will be much more pleasant to observe the speed and revolutions on the new panel. The trouble is that doing tuning with your own hands in this case is practically impossible. Often panels are either made to order or ready-made kits are purchased. A unique change to the model of the front panel with your own hands can only be attributed to the work of installing LEDs. They can be very helpful at night, since the light on the Lada Priora on the panel itself is dim, and seeing something is a problem. Diodes can help improve beauty, but the main thing is not to overdo it, as they can also interfere. With a large number of LEDs installed on the front panel, the light from them at night begins to confuse the driver.

With plastic in the car everything is much simpler. The handles, front panel, and all other plastic can be modified in color, partially or completely. The contrast of black and metallic colors will look much better on the Lada Priora. You can tune plastic panels yourself using a regular aerosol can and plastic sealant. Work is carried out in a well-ventilated area and without temperature changes, so that the paint dries quickly and evenly.

It is also possible to buy new plastic and replace the old one with it, thereby changing not only the color, but also the shape, but as practice says, there are few such parts on the Lada Priora, but you can borrow parts from the Grant or Kalina models, where plastic parts and their mounts are similar to Priora.

Bumper tuning

Many body kits that can now be found on the market for the Lada Priora are sold individually, that is, you do not need to take the entire set and you can save money on this. To give the car an aesthetically complete look, you only need bumpers.

Sniper series bumpers were confidently used on the Grant model, but on the Priora they look no worse. The bumpers are placed on standard car mounts, and the work can be done independently. The bumper material is ABS plastic, lightweight series, can withstand a variety of external factors from severe temperature changes to exposure to oils, gasoline, solvents, alkalis and salts, which is especially beneficial in the winter season. The front bumper already has a hidden cutout for a tow rope.
The AVR series bumpers have the same characteristics as those of the Sniper, but can be custom-made to match the color of the car, which already eliminates a number of problems. The material of the body kit is fiberglass, which can also withstand many external and mechanical damage factors, but weighs a little more.
The “I am a robot” bumper is made of lightweight plastic, has a smooth and clear shape structure, and can be installed on standard mounts. Does not require additional intervention to create seats. Solves problems with engine cooling due to a wide air intake and an already built-in radiator grille.
There are special covers for the standard rear and front bumpers that do not require replacing the body kit, but add and almost completely change the appearance of the car. As a rule, the standard material for such linings is ABC plastic. Front bumper skirts prevent dirt and dust from getting into the radiator grille and directly onto the bumper itself.

Lada Priora: new interior to suit your taste

The most noticeable thing in the interior of the Lada Priora is, of course, the seats. Selecting them is very problematic, since the factory models practically do not differ from the basic configuration. Therefore, you just need to improve the existing seats by upholstering them with new material. But it won't last long, especially if you want a leather interior. Therefore, it is better to partially replace the upholstery. For example, make inserts from a material of a different color. The interior of the new Priora driver's seat may have an irregular orthopedic shape. Therefore, it is worth replacing completely. The driver's seat should stand out from the rest of the interior. This will emphasize the importance and solidity of the Lada owner. Leather is best for this. For a sporty style, interior tuning must include the installation of a high racing seat.

For the convenience of passengers during long trips, there are special stands for a variety of items. The standard set includes a hole for a plate, a glass holder, and an additional hole of any shape. If this is available in the front seats, then the creators of the Priora deprived the rear passengers in this regard. Therefore, it is possible to install a mounting board on the front seats.

Eco-leather in the cabin

To separate passenger seats, install an armrest. You can install a cup holder in it. But it’s better not to do this, because in this case the armrest will lose its intended purpose. In addition, if you have a leather interior, the fabric on the armrest will quickly become unusable.

Lada Priora Lada Priora

The popular Russian car Lada Priora is available in 4 body types: sedan (VAZ-2170), station wagon (VAZ-2171), hatchback (VAZ-2172), coupe (VAZ-2173) and in several trim levels, which undoubtedly makes this car convenient for different people. Lada Priora replaced the popular and beloved Lada of the 10th family and was created for our Russian roads and our harsh climate. Safety, efficiency, ease of maintenance, suitability for our fuel - the designers took care of all this.

Lada Priora is equipped with power steering EUR or power steering, 8-valve (81 hp) and 16-valve (98 hp) engines, with a declared resource of 200,000 km. The new engines have a lightweight connecting rod and piston group, which increases engine power by 10%.

The body of the Lada Priora has been strengthened to improve passive safety, and the torsional rigidity of the body has also increased. The Priora is equipped with airbags: in the “Norma” configuration – a driver’s airbag, in the “Lux” configuration – side and front airbags for the driver and front passenger. The “Lux” configuration is also equipped with seat belt pretensioners, ABS, BAS and ESC systems, fog lights, parking radar, heated front seats and windshield, electric windows on all doors, cruise control, rain and light sensor, multimedia and climate system, combination devices with GLONASS. According to the Lada Priora promotional website, when impacted at a speed of 5 km/h, only the bumper is damaged, without affecting the other structural elements of the body. The environmental friendliness of the car complies with Euro-3 standards for the Russian market and Euro-4 for the EU market.

VAZ 2172

Lada hatchback. History and tuning of LADA Priora 2172

Story

The product of the Russian AvtoVAZ, LADA Priora 2172, was released in February 2008 and became the second car in the line after the sedan. The basis of the 5-door front-wheel drive hatchback, like other representatives of this family, was the VAZ “ten” - this time the VAZ 2112.

As in the cases of the sedan and station wagon, there is no need to talk about the Priora 2172 only as a restyling of the VAZ - the new model has been almost completely redesigned both technically and externally. The exterior, unusually attractive for our cars, was obviously created with an eye on fashion trends among the same “foreign cars”.

As for the technical qualities, they are the same in all models of the series, only the configuration variations differ. The Priora 2171 is considered the most equipped, created in more advanced “normal” and “luxury” variations. The 2172 hatchback, as well as the sedan, is also represented by a more budget-friendly “standard” modification. It is distinguished by the absence of such pleasant and necessary additions as, for example, an indication that the driver’s seat belt is not fastened, an anti-lock wheel system, etc.

The LADA Priora 2172 engine has a 16-valve mechanism, 4 cylinders, a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 98 hp. The maximum speed is 183 km/h with acceleration to 100 km/h in 11.5 seconds. The lowest fuel consumption of 5.6 l/100 km occurs in the extra-urban cycle, in mixed mode the figure is 7.2 l/100 km, and in urban mode – 9.8 l/100 km.

At one time, a test drive of Priora 2172 took place in the hot Crimea, so one of the central points to which special attention was paid was the air conditioning and ventilation systems. Moreover, the first is represented by components from two manufacturers - Panasonic (Japan-Taiwan) and Halla (Russia-Korea). The results of the operation of these systems showed good results and received high marks - the car was able to survive the hot southern climate with dignity. A unique breakthrough is the air recirculation function, which is simply irreplaceable in conditions of long-hour city traffic jams.

The suspension of the LADA Priora 2172 also demonstrated excellent qualities on the Crimean winding roads - the car ran smoothly, with virtually no roll when cornering. Various “roughnesses” in the form of small and large gravel, holes and hummocks were also easily overcome. Considering that the current state of the road surface in many regions of Russia leaves much to be desired, this characteristic is extremely valuable.

Finally, the car's passive protection measures have been improved - the luxury package has not only a driver's airbag, a particularly durable double floor, a roof reinforcement, door safety bars, but also front seat belt pretensioners, as well as an airbag for the passenger sitting next to it. with a driver. In addition, the Priora 2172 has an excellent ABS system from Bosch, which allows us to talk about a fairly serious level of protection for the car from unforeseen situations.

Interesting Facts

Initially, Lada Priora was created in accordance with fundamental environmental standards - Euro-3 according to Russian standards and Euro-4 for models exported to EU countries. In 2011, the countries of the European Union moved to new, higher standards for assessing the environmental friendliness of vehicles, therefore, from July 1 last year, LADA Priora 2172 began to be produced in accordance with Euro-5 standards. Since stricter control of this parameter is planned in the Russian Federation, the release of a Priora that meets the Euro-4 level is soon planned for the domestic market.

Tuning VAZ 2172

In order to eliminate existing technical shortcomings, as well as improve the appearance of the car, professional car dealerships implement Priora 2172 tuning.

Thus, technical tuning of the Priora 2172 will significantly increase engine power, and therefore make the car faster and more durable, which are prerequisites for participation in racing competitions. To do this, the Priora 2172 engine is tuned - for example, its volume is increased to 1.8 liters, an “Autoturbo” compressor is installed, or a turbo engine is assembled. For simpler tuning, sports camshafts and a receiver, a direct-flow resonator and muffler, an equal-length exhaust manifold 4-1 or 4-2-1, and other parts are installed.

After this, it is important to improve the maneuverability and stability of the car - for this, the Priora 2172 suspension and tuning of the Priora 2172 brake system are carried out: sports springs and hard shock absorbers PLAZA or SS20, a subframe and reinforced strut supports are installed, standard parts are replaced with professional racing ones. At the same time, Priora 2172 steering tuning is being implemented, allowing the driver to feel the car as himself and clearly drive it along a given path, as well as transmission tuning. An important condition for this is the purposeful use of the car as a racing vehicle - for driving in normal urban conditions, such characteristics can cause a lot of inconvenience to the driver and his passengers.

After the car is equipped to the highest class, it’s time to start modernizing the interior and exterior - styling of the Priora 2172 has no limits if real professionals get down to business. Update the interior trim by choosing a bright and stylish design option, cover the body with original vinyl, color-tint the windows to match the main design idea, install a decorative front bumper grille and complement it with LED fog lights, illuminate the thresholds, install a spoiler on the roof or trunk - options a huge variety.

All you need is to ask our specialists for help and hear specific suggestions regarding car tuning. And at the same time receive competent advice on diagnostics and maintenance of your vehicle.

Tuning the trunk of Lada Priora

The trunk may not be the main part of the car, but the fact that it can be perfectly remade, especially in a car model like the Lada Priora, is for sure. So, for example, the luggage compartment is often filled with all sorts of tools, which rattle while driving, and at the same time make it difficult to put any additional parts on it. That is why it is better to make a cutout from plywood, paint it, and make a kind of second floor in the luggage compartment. It can also serve as a place where audio components can be inserted.

The big disadvantage of the luggage compartment is that the backlight works in it, but only when the dimensions are on, and this is very annoying, but such a factory defect can be corrected. Two wires lead to the lamp in the trunk, namely the yellow-red one for ground, and the yellow one, which is connected to the dimensions. All that is needed for independent lighting of the luggage compartment is to redirect the yellow wire with a current supply of at least 12W. The easiest option would be to connect the lamp to the amplifier, if there is one in the trunk; otherwise, it is best to use the help of the lamp in the cabin itself.

Lada Priora, a sedan type, does worse than all other models in the luggage compartment, since the lighting there is dim, which is especially bad in winter at night. This problem can be corrected with the help of additional LEDs. To do this, connect two LED strips to the luggage lamp, and they are attached with double-sided tape. The driver, as a rule, chooses the form of lighting himself, which once again confirms the advantages of this method.

Tuning the Lada dashboard

Changed panel backlight color
Changes to the instrument panel will be the least noticeable visually, but will greatly help the driver set the buttons in the position in which he is comfortable. Doing this manually is quite problematic and extremely difficult without special skills. Therefore, it is better to order new panels in the store. What even a beginner can do is install LEDs.

Change	Description
Instrument panel lighting	The factory backlighting of the instrument panel on the Lada Priora is quite dim. Therefore, installing or replacing LEDs is a top priority. It is better to choose dark green or yellow colors. The main thing in this matter is not to overdo it. Lighting that is too bright can disturb the driver.
Steering wheel and gearbox	After tuning the instrument panel, you should move on to the gearbox and steering wheel. Here you can give free rein to your imagination. Even a schoolchild can cope with upgrading the steering wheel and gear lever of the Priora. The easiest way is to cover them with leather. If you have a can of paint and sealant, you can paint the steering wheel without changing anything.
Stove and fan grilles	Do not paint the stove and fan grilles. Fumes from low-quality paint may be released into the interior. A lot depends on the color scheme. It is better to choose a combination of black with yellow or red if you need to give the interior of the Lada Priora a sporty style.
Interior color	If you want to give the interior some respectability, metallic or brown leather (if you have a leather interior) will do.

It is important to remember that the rest of the interior devices must fit into the overall surroundings. For example, a gear shift lever made to look like wood is unlikely to be combined with a sports steering wheel.

Restyling of the VAZ 2170 interior

Priora tuning will help make the interior as comfortable and unique as possible. The Lada style can be seen in the interiors of all production cars produced by AvtoVAZ, which especially encourages car enthusiasts not only to change the design of the instrument panel, but also to improve the sound insulation of the doors, roof and trunk of the car, as well as replace the trim of these body parts.

First of all, the front panel can be replaced, which is done by installing custom or purchased kits. You can only install the LEDs and decor with your own hands using decorative film. LEDs can also be used to complement the interior door handles, trunk lid and illuminate the footwells of the driver's and front passenger's seats.

Interior refurbishment

The updated cases, made of high-quality textiles or leather in a pleasant color scheme, look impressive. The main thing is that all the interior parts are combined with each other and complement the overall style of the car.

Tuning the Lada Priora engine

Lada Priora with standard factory engines with 16 valves does not seem to evoke much desire to modify it, since, contrary to popular belief, it is much more powerful and dynamic than the engine that is installed on “nines”. Still, sometimes you want to make your car faster, and with the Lada Priora a supercharger compressor can help, which can increase the power and traction force of the engine by 30-50%, without the need to go into details of the operation of the injector or gas distribution when installing it. Installation is carried out using fastening units that are attached to the crankshaft pulley. Power increases due to the enrichment of the fuel-air mixture, but it also has its negative qualities. After installation, fuel consumption increases significantly, which leads to rapid wear of the fuel system and accumulation of paraffins.

From the point of view of comparing useful and negative qualities, turbocharging wins due to increased efficiency, but at the same time without spending a large amount of fuel. A mechanical supercharger, or in our case a supercharger, takes some of the energy from the engine, while the turbocharger works exclusively on the energy of exhaust gases. The only cost will be that the turbocharger takes about 10 liters. pp., in order to overcome the resistance arising from the gases of the exhaust manifold. Here you can also find some negative aspects, at least in the fact that the turbocharger requires a lot of careful maintenance, due to the lack of depressurization of the connections. That is why racing enthusiasts, when using turbocharging, must ensure constant oil changes to ensure its cleanliness and the flow of coolant.

If you increase the design volume of the cylinders, you can increase the engine power without any problems. This work is carried out after boring the cylinder blocks and turning the remaining walls, and this will give a large volume of the combustion chamber. The friction of the pistons immediately stops rubbing against the cylinder walls, which adds ease to the rotation of the crankshaft and a subsequent increase in power, and at the same time the dynamic impact on the piston system increases. There is another method that is designed to increase the volume of cylinder blocks. To do this you need to use low pistons, but the crankshaft must be high. With such changes, the stroke length of the piston connecting rod changes. The piston begins to rise higher into the combustion chamber, which increases the level of fuel compression, and then lowers, creating more rarefaction there. This significantly changes the ventilation of the entire system, making it better, which leads to a faster enrichment of the fuel-air mixture.

If you continue to work and modify the cylinder head, then the engine power will increase not only at low, but also at high speeds due to the increase in engine volume.

Tuning the interior of the Lada Priora

The interior can be called one of the capital parts for the modification of any car. Lada Priora looks exquisite inside, but if you modify it a little it will only be better.

The first step is to change the button base in the car. More precisely, rearrange some buttons or add them to the tunnel, which is located between the front seats. Such a change in the interior can be called not so much a design change as a technical one, but with the help of wiring and a utility knife, you can make the location of the buttons more convenient.

The second step relates to installing the LEDs directly into the handles. Any driver can immediately feel any button in the dark, but it is more difficult for a passenger to do this, so lighting the door handles is extremely important. It is best to select LEDs with a voltage of no more than 3W, and with a diffuse glow. In addition, it is better to install light bulbs in sockets for quick replacement, and at an angle so that passengers can ride comfortably, and not constantly catch the light with their eyes.

A big problem for domestic cars is lampshade lighting. The light from them falls strongly, but only to one point, and is not scattered throughout the cabin. At the same time, it is not comfortable for the driver to sit, and passengers in the rear seats can no longer see anything in the dark. The problem is solved by completely dismantling the lampshade and replacing it with an LED strip. The main thing is not to overdo it, but to use a tape with a soft but evenly scattered glow throughout the cabin. The problem can also be solved by replacing the standard lamp of the ceiling lamp with a new, LED, more powerful and smoothly dissipating, or by replacing the glass with a multifaceted cross-section, which delivers light to the darkest areas. There is an option to install an additional lamp. In the standard version, the lamp is installed at the top in the middle between the driver and the passenger. You can buy an additional lamp and install it above the rear passenger seat by first connecting it to the main one. To ensure that the light does not disturb the rear passengers, the lamps can be installed on the rear pillars and direct control over each of them can be made. That is, they can be turned on regardless of the main light source on one side or both at once.

The modifications to the Lada Priora in the passenger foot area, namely the installation of LEDs, look very attractive. This tuning is done using LED strip and mounting system. As a rule, floor lighting can be done to make the interior more beautiful, but also to ensure that the lighting in the cabin is uniform and clear. It all depends on the choice of LED power and their color. It is best to place the tape in closed areas. On the driver's side this will be under the pedals, on the front passenger side, the best place to install the LED strip will be the bottom of the glove compartment.

As for the front panel, as well as all other plastic parts, as a rule, in Ladas they are covered with leather or leatherette, but recently the method of covering them with carbon film has become popular. This method is much cheaper and easier to install. It's similar to installing tint. All that is needed for this is to degrease the surface, cut out the required size pieces of film with a margin of 1.5-2 cm on the sides and simply fix them on the surface using a hairdryer. It is better to cut the hole in the film after pasting the plastic, as there is a high probability of making a mistake.

Cases

Covers can be called a decorative feature of any car interior. For the Lada Priora, recently they began to produce models of covers not only to order, but also factory ones, which are fully suitable for standard shapes and seat models.

Fur covers are especially popular in Russia. This is due to the fact that for almost 9 months a year, it is winter in Russia, and fur covers can help not only keep the seat upholstery in its original form, but also warm the driver’s back in cold weather. At the same time, the air throughput creates comfort in the summer, preventing the body from sweating.

Model covers are not as widely popular as universal or fur covers, since they have a big disadvantage in their price. They are usually made to order, taking all measurements from the chairs. The driver chooses the material, as well as the color, independently. They are good in everything, and can fit into almost any interior, if modified.

Universal covers are used most often by those people who want to keep their chairs in decent shape. You never know if you'll have to sell the car. Universal covers fit any seat, so when purchasing them you don’t have to worry about whether they will fit or not. This is also their poor quality, since universal covers can peel off, roll up, and gather behind the driver’s back. It looks ugly and often causes discomfort. In terms of quality, they are inferior to all other models of cases.

Leather covers for Lada Priora are usually made to order, but you can find some models on the market. From an aesthetic point of view, they fit perfectly into the interior design, adding elegance and showing the importance of the driver. The disadvantages include the comfort side. The skin has a structure that does not allow air to pass through, and therefore the body can constantly sweat in the summer. In addition, the skin cannot tolerate low temperatures and temperature changes, which is not uncommon in Russia. Faux leather differs from real leather only in quality, but its structure has the same properties.

External tuning of Lada Priora

Body tuning

First of all, it’s worth tackling the Priora’s hood, which often has an incorrect position and is crooked, which disrupts the sound insulation when the car is moving. You can solve this problem yourself by replacing it with double-sided universal hood stops.

The next step is to improve the sound insulation of the doors by placing special noise and vibration-absorbing materials in their cavity, as well as replacing the standard locks with new ones with improved vibration-absorbing properties.

Vinyl wrapping

To protect and decorate the body, a vinyl base or carbon film is used, which is ideal for external restyling of the Priora. It can be used both as a pasting for individual car parts and as a stylish design on the hood or doors. There is also a large selection of films known as chrome base, which imitate metallic finish and highlight the prominent lines of the car.

Individuality for a sedan can also be achieved by applying a stylish airbrush design, but this will require a lot of money. A separate part of the Priora restyling is the installation of a spoiler, which improves aerodynamic properties and stylishly complements the appearance of the Lada Priora sedan.

Tuning the standard muffler by replacing it with a new one with a double outlet will give the car an aggressive and powerful look.

Chassis tuning

The performance quality of the Lada Priora chassis can be improved using a double-diaphragm vacuum booster, which increases the reliability of the brakes by 2 times.

It is also recommended to install discs with a metal-ceramic coating and stiffer springs in the clutch basket. This is an important safety issue while increasing the power of the car's engine.

The installation of a lightweight crankshaft flywheel will reduce the time it takes to accelerate the car to maximum speed, which will also reduce fuel consumption, reduce the load on the clutch and extend the service life of the gearbox.

Low profile tires

Replacing rims with low-profile tires will advantageously highlight the appearance of the Lada Priora.

Tuning headlights and glass

Restyling of lighting devices will improve the quality of light signals and will advantageously change the appearance of the Priora sedan.

Tuning car headlights involves the following work:

tinted rear lights;
installation of eyelashes;
combination of turn signals and dimensions;
installation of bi-lenses;

Tinting the taillights gives your car a unique look by applying vinyl to the removed glass of the rear light fixtures. The eyelashes of the headlights are formed using plastic blanks covered with vinyl film. You can also purchase ready-made eyelashes from a wide selection on the car market.

You can improve the turn signals on Lada Priora by replacing the 2-pin LED lamp with a 3-pin one, which should be connected to the headlight outputs. The quality of the headlights' glow will be enhanced by bi-lenses, which add beauty thanks to the pleasant blue xenon light.

Eyelashes for headlights

Car enthusiasts often tint their car windows themselves. But it is better to entrust this work to an experienced specialist, otherwise there is a high probability of minor defects that cannot be corrected.

Tuning bumpers and sills

Replacing bumpers on a Priora is one of the simplest and most effective ways to radically change the external features of a car. In addition, a well-chosen body kit improves the aerodynamic qualities of the car, protects the body from mechanical influences and ensures maximum natural cooling of the engine by counter-flow of air.

The thresholds of the car can also be restyled. A wide selection of parts of suitable sizes with different width parameters will allow you to choose a worthy replacement for every taste and budget.

Radiator grille tuning

When tuning a VAZ Priora, you should pay special attention to replacing the radiator grille, since this part is responsible for cooling the engine. It can be replaced either together with the front bumper or separately

The grilles, made in the form of a honeycomb, additionally protect the engine from large debris when driving and chemical elements during car washing.

Priora bumper tuning options

Currently, there are a huge number of offers for replacing bumpers on the tuning services market. The products are distinguished by a wide variety of shapes and design solutions. They allow you to change the appearance of the Lada Priora - from aggressively sporty to calm and restrained.

It is installed on standard mounts, so no additional seats are required. The bumper on a Priora can be easily matched to the color of your car using the paint number given in the car’s operating manual.

All products are made of impact-resistant plastic. In terms of technical characteristics, strength, reliability and price, the designs listed above are almost identical, so the choice of one or another model depends on the driver’s personal preferences.

Tuning the bumper on a Priora will give your car new features, improve handling and reduce fuel consumption.

A review of rear bumper offers for Priora shows that the choice, unfortunately, is small. The presented models are not much different from the factory ones, and some of them do not fit in design or do not harmonize with the selected front bumper. Therefore, most often the rear body kit is left original.

Radiator grille tuning

The radiator grille on the Lada Priora can be changed in two ways. The first is together with the front bumper. The second method looks much better from an economical point of view, since the grille is made to order to standard dimensions and fastenings. There are several varieties. Four-lane grilles are distinguished by their excellent throughput and engine cooling, but the downside of this part is its low protection from falling various types of debris. Grilles, consisting of numerous honeycombs, have a low air capacity, but can perfectly protect the engine from not only large debris, but also chemicals. elements while washing the car.

At the same time, each body kit not only creates an attractive appearance, but also improves technical characteristics, namely the aerodynamics of the car and increases downforce.

Basics of mechanical tuning

Any engine, for a slight increase in power, must begin to breathe easier and easier, and in the Lada Priora, this effect is usually achieved using the “Spider” installation. This is a popular name, but in fact, this part is a manifold with channels of a larger cross-section, which provides a lighter exhaust outlet without creating obstacles for it. Problems may arise with oxygen supply sensors, but after flashing the firmware for Euro-2, the problem disappears, and it is also possible to dismantle one of the sensors. After this modification, engine power increases by approximately 9.5 liters. With.

Priora engine tuning increasing dynamics and economy

The power unit on the latest production Lada Priora is a 1.6-liter 16-valve engine, modification 21127, with a power of 106 hp. Earlier Priora models are equipped with engines with lower dynamic performance. For this reason, Lada owners strive to reduce fuel consumption and increase engine power through tuning.

The task of modernizing the VAZ 2170 engine can be solved by performing the following work:

installation of a supercharger compressor or turbocharger (turbocharging);
engine chip tuning;
changing the design parameters of the engine (increasing the cylinder displacement, replacing pistons and crankshaft);
external engine tuning.

Installing a supercharger compressor does not require much time and effort. As a result, there is an increase in power from 30 to 50%, which entails an increase in fuel consumption. The supercharger is attached using standard fastening units, the drive is carried out by putting a belt on the crankshaft pulley, which increases engine productivity.

Turbocharging is considered a more effective option for increasing engine efficiency compared to a supercharger, since it operates using exhaust gases. However, a turbocharger is more capricious in operation than a mechanical supercharger, since it requires constant cooling and the presence of clean oil.

Engine chip tuning is aimed at reducing fuel consumption and improving the dynamic performance of the engine by reprogramming the electronic units through which the engine is controlled. The presence of a wide range of programs for chip tuning allows you to influence certain parameters of its operation, adjusting each of the indicators at the request of the owner. Such manipulations are carried out only by experienced specialists without changing the design of the power unit.

Increasing the working volume of the cylinders by boring and polishing their walls leads to an increase in power and fuel consumption. Thus, the force on the pistons increases and their friction against the cylinder walls decreases, which leads to an increase in engine power. The productivity of the Priora engine can also be increased by replacing the piston group and crankshaft. In this case, special low pistons and a crankshaft with increased lift are selected, which allows the pistons to be raised and lowered to maximum levels, facilitating better filling of the combustible mixture with air and its complete combustion.

Aesthetic modernization

If you are a caring owner of a Priora, direct tuning to improve the appearance of the car. In this case, your “iron horse” will be difficult to compare with similar models. The original Lada Priora will be able to surprise those around you with the perfection of its external structures and amazing exterior.

Exterior improvement

We recommend that when tuning the Lada Priora, you must equip the car with a new bumper and hood. Fortunately, even the manufacturer itself, focused on the fact that many modern owners strive to improve the vehicle after purchase, offers suitable options for components, after installing which you can immediately enjoy the excellent result.

By the way, if you purchase a bumper, hood or any other device produced by the Volzhsky Automobile Plant specifically for the Priora, tuning it yourself will be much easier, since all the fasteners will correspond to the original “iron horse”. New bumpers can be made of plastic or fiberglass. The use of such simple body parts not only helps to improve the appearance of the car, but also has an excellent effect on improving some technical parameters.

In particular, the cooling rate of the engine can be significantly improved due to the introduction of a fairly wide air collector. In addition to the bumper, you can equip the body of your “swallow” with a spoiler that improves aerodynamic characteristics, as well as body kits that are not at all difficult to find on sale. If you want to transform your Priora beyond recognition, tuning should include replacing the decorative grille, the design of which can be completely different. It all depends on your desire, abilities and financial capabilities.

By the way, some unique bumper designs with decorative grilles can be designed on your own if you have at least some technical modeling skills. If you don’t have such skills, but have a great desire to get an original bumper, you can turn to craftsmen who, for your money, will be ready to fulfill any whim, as a result of which your tuned Lada Priora will become completely unrecognizable.

You can also increase the originality of your car by installing eyelashes and new headlights. Some owners tint all the optics, as well as the rear window and the glass on the side doors. If you want to radically change the Lada Priora, direct tuning to change the color shade of the body of your “swallow”. Of course, it may be irrational to completely paint the entire car, but covering its individual parts with vinyl or airbrushing them is quite possible.

Interior tuning

After you have managed to transform the outside of your beloved Lada Priora, direct the tuning to modernizing the interior. The interior space will be significantly transformed if changes are made to the lighting system. Instead of incandescent lamps, we recommend that you install LED lamps. The interior will look quite interesting if additional LED lighting is installed. In particular, you can interestingly highlight door handles and the floor of your vehicle. It will be possible to increase the level of lighting if you install an additional lamp in the rear part of the cabin.

The Priora will become much brighter if the do-it-yourself refinement process is aimed at improving the aesthetics of all plastic parts. They can be covered with carbon film or artificial leather. The interior will look very original if its individual parts are flocked. This is an innovative technology during which the surface is covered with flocks that look like vinyl covering.

Do not try to calm down your technical and creative impulses, let your imagination flourish wildly, which will contribute to the emergence of new interesting ideas aimed at improving the external aesthetics of your “iron friend”. Many car owners extend their actions even to the trunk, decorating it with LED lighting and creating additional space for storing tools.

What are bumpers made of?

Product options, their design, as well as strength characteristics largely depend on the material from which they are made. Modern bumpers, including those on the Lada Priora, are made of polymer materials, which can be divided into two main groups: thermoplastic and thermosetting. Thermoplastic materials are made from the following chemicals:

acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS);
polyamide (PA);
polycarbonate (PC);
polyethylene (PE);
polypropylene (PP).

Their modifications can also be used. These materials are widely used due to their maintainability. When heated, they turn into a liquid state and are able to change shape, and when cooled, they can turn into a solid state an unlimited number of times.

Thermosets, such as polyurethanes (PUP) and fiberglass, easily take on any shape when the product is manufactured, but cannot change it once it has cured. This occurs due to the irreversibility of the polymerization reaction.

The material from which the bumper is made has a corresponding marking stamped on its reverse side. Such information about the structure of the part will be very useful when carrying out repairs in case of minor damage.
