Lada Priora is a kind of "people's" car in the countries of the former Soviet Union. Not super chic, but not disabled. With a more or less decent factory interior.
And yet, many car owners are engaged in tuning the Priora's interior. We will post photos of these experiments below, but for now we will try to answer the question: why?
Why are they doing this? What is missing in the factory-made Lada salon?
At first glance, everything is elegant and appropriate.
However, everything is not so rosy, you just have to listen to the noise. More precisely, to the roar. Alas, the engine is noisy. Therefore, the first task of tuning is the soundproofing of the cabin. Typically, modelin or vibroplast are used as sound insulators.
If this main drawback is eliminated, you can continue to cast further.
The main directions of tuning the Priora salon
Can be upgraded:
- backlight;
- seating;
- sheathing;
- dashboard.
Now more about this.
LED lighting relieves eye strain and creates an atmosphere of comfort and relaxation:
Upgrading the lighting in the tuning of the priors' salon with their own hands plays an important role. Unfortunately, the factory installed nighttime lighting does not fully fulfill its purpose. That is why you have to install additional shades or LED strip.
The easiest way to replace the seats is, for example, with sports ones. But it is even easier to purchase special covers (for example, made of leather), this will radically change the internal design of the car.
The car's interior is radically changed by the upholstery. Genuine leather is hardly affordable for most, but artificial leather is also not bad.
The dashboard with your own hands is unlikely to be redone. Usually it is purchased ready-made, tuning the Priora's salon. Photo of such an item.
The leather interior looks rich and elegant
When choosing a car, first of all pay attention to what is “under the hood”. However, the ride comfort also largely depends on the interior. Lada Priora - a car with good technical characteristics, but a rather mediocre factory interior.
It, of course, contains all the necessary details, but far from ideal. For the interior, it is a good way to radically change the car without affecting its technical parameters.
Tuning the Lada dashboard
Changes to the instrument panel will be the least noticeable visually, but they will greatly help the driver to install the buttons in the position in which it is convenient for him. To do it 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.
The factory backlighting of the panel is rather 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 business is not to overdo it. Too bright lighting can interfere with the driver.
Changed panel backlight color
After tuning the instrument panel, you should go to the gearbox and steering wheel. Here you can give free rein to imagination. Even a schoolboy can handle the upgrade of the Priora steering wheel and speed lever. 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.
Do not paint the grilles of the stove and fan. Fumes of poor quality paint can be released into the interior. From colors a lot depends. It is better to choose a combination of black with yellow or red if you need to give the Lada Priora's interior a sporty style.
If you want to give the cabin respectability, metallic or brown leather is suitable (if you have leather interior). It is important to remember that the rest of the interior devices must fit into the overall environment. For example, a wood-effect gear lever would hardly match a sports steering wheel.
Lada Priora: a new salon to your taste
The most noticeable thing about the Lada Priora's cabin is, of course, the seats. It is very problematic to pick them up, since the factory models practically do not differ from basic configuration... Therefore, you just need to improve the existing seats by fitting them with new material. But it won't last long, especially if you want leather upholstery. Therefore, it is better to partially replace the upholstery. For example, make inserts from a material of a different color. Salon new Priora the driver's seat may have an irregular orthopedic shape. Therefore, it should be replaced completely. The driver's seat should stand out from the rest of the interior. This will emphasize the importance and solidity of the owner of the Lada. For this, leather is best suited. For a sporty look, the tuning of the cabin must necessarily involve the installation of a high racing seat.
For the convenience of passengers during long trips there are special stands for a variety of items. Standard set - plate hole, glass holder, additional hole free form. If there is this in the front seats, then the creators of the Priora cheated the passengers behind in this regard. Therefore, it is possible to install a mounting plate on the front seats.
Eco leather in the salon
For separation passenger seats install the armrest. You can mount a cup holder in it. But it is better not to do this, since in this case the armrest will lose its direct purpose. Plus, if you have a leather interior, the fabric on the armrest will quickly deteriorate.
To the question of the interior of Lada Priora, AvtoVAZ, surprisingly, approached very responsibly. Even a well-known design studio in Italy was brought in. But who said that good cannot be done even better, because for Lada Priora, tuning the salon is a great opportunity to emphasize the individual features of your iron horse and the personal tastes of the driver. Nevertheless, Priora is positioned as budget car, which means that with a certain desire and financial investment, we have just an unpaved field for visual and technical transformations.
Tuning Priors and installing an advanced audio system
First of all, the acoustics in the front doors are being modernized. The nominal diameter of the speakers installed in the doors is not enough to ensure high-quality sound. It is advisable to widen the hole and install at least a branded speaker with a diameter of 16 cm. Seat the columns in the door card will have to be cut several times.
The outer and inner walls of the door are glued with back side noise isolator. Full-fledged noise and vibration isolation of the passenger compartment is performed not least in order to create an acoustic volume. The surface for sound insulation is preliminarily degreased (with acetone or other solvent). The main thing is that the solution is not detrimental to paintwork car.
In addition to the main speakers, tweeters are also installed (generate high-frequency sounds) in the front windshield pillars or in the dashboard. At the rear, for the passenger seats, good additional speakers are also installed. To preserve their natural acoustic volume, they should be packed in soundproof niches.
To ensure high-quality sound of low frequencies, it is also worth installing a subwoofer with an amplifier in the car interior. The best solution would be to put the subwoofer in the luggage compartment of the Lada Priora. For him, he will also have to make his own case using the technologies already mentioned above.
Other technical stuffing of the salon
Having paid considerable attention to acoustics, it is advisable to put something more serious instead of the standard audio system. A full-fledged multimedia center with video outputs under the monitor will be the best choice as tuning the Lada Priora salon. This kind of device will not only be advanced in terms of its capabilities, but also provide high quality sounding tracks.
Together with the multimedia center, it would be nice to put a full-fledged monitor. A very useful thing to while away the time in the same traffic jams while driving or when you simply want to rest and relax. Now it will become a reality even on the side of the highway. It will also not be superfluous to take a closer look at the assortment. on-board computers to Prioru.
Padding of the Lada Priora salon. Types of materials and practical advice
Salon Lada Priora, classically, is pulled leather cut or leatherette.
The latter is today made using technologies that practically do not allow distinguishing between natural and artificial materials without scrupulous study of them. High-quality leatherette has the following advantages:
- does not stretch and does not wear out like natural leather over time;
- does not absorb unpleasant odors and is easy to dry clean;
- has a huge number of designer textured coatings;
- resistant to solar radiation;
- compares favorably with the price in comparison with genuine leather.
Another interesting option for trimming the interior is pasting it with a carbon film. In addition to the material itself, you will need a degreaser and an industrial hair dryer for high-quality pasting of vinyl film on surface bends. This method looks even simpler and more profitable even than leatherette, but in the first place, nevertheless, is the aesthetic attractiveness of this or that material from the point of view of the driver's taste.
The roof of the car, door cards and partly the dashboard can be equally effectively covered with Alcantara. This extremely popular synthetic material, strongly reminiscent of suede, is actively used not only in auto tuning, but also as a tailoring cut when creating the interior of houses, yachts, etc. Its assortment also pleases with its diversity, and therefore even the most sophisticated Lada Priora driver can choose something for himself.
Light tuning of the Lada Priora salon. Practical, beautiful, fashionable and modern
Tuning of ceiling lighting is very relevant. The factory plafonds shine brightly enough, but their illumination can hardly be called satisfactory. The reason for this is the narrow directivity of the light, which blinds the driver to a greater extent, poorly illuminating the passenger seats of the Priora and dashboard... But even this scourge is easy to fight with the help of simple auto-tuning techniques.
The obvious solution is to install LED lights. They are very economical and reliable, have a bright and diffused glow. Dismantling factory luminaires and replacing them alone can significantly increase the comfort of operation. vehicle... Additionally, as a rule, it is also installed center light in the ceiling, which is not taken into account by the designers in the car from the factory, but plays a very important role in the uniform and natural lighting of the Lada Priora interior.
Another extremely practical and fashionable tuning of the Priora's interior is the door handle illumination. The plastic upholstery of the doors is disassembled, where small point LEDs of a weak diffused glow are inserted, so as not to blind both the driver and passengers with a bright directional light flux.
As for the power supply, there is definitely room for imagination:
- the simplest will be the insert into the backlight of the buttons on the power window;
- if you stretch the wires to the connector with the radio tape recorder, then you can tie the backlight, for example, to the dimensions (pin No. 6 on the ISO connector);
- stable illumination will be provided by the power supply from the “navigator” luminaire, you can also stretch the wires to the Priora interior lighting control module (pull the mass from 31 contacts, and “plus” from 58b).
A huge space for experiments and individual auto-tuning of the Priora is opened by the use of RGB-LED strips complete with drivers. It is possible to equip, for example, the illumination of the driver's and front passenger's seat legs with bright and effective colored lighting. The driver allows you to conveniently adjust the degree of illumination, working conditions, and the color of the installed backlight.
Painting the factory plastic of Priora's interior
The tuning of the Lada Priora is very interesting, the interior, of course, with the painting of the plastic of the door cards and the center console in expressive bright colors.
Fortunately, from the factory, the plastic partially has light colors and is easy to repaint. To carry out this kind of work, you will first need to dismantle the plastic elements of the cabin to be processed. The following materials should be purchased:
- aerosol cans with the required paint;
- special paint primer according to the recommendations on the spray cans;
- varnish to protect the outer paint layer.
In total, the materials will cost you about one thousand rubles. The painting process itself should not be a problem even for a complete amateur in this matter:
- after the plastic is dismantled, it must be degreased;
- then a primer comes into play (to ensure a high degree of penetration, it is best to apply in several layers and do not forget about intermediate drying);
- in fact, the painting process begins directly with an aerosol can. Do not forget about safety precautions and the need to protect the respiratory tract;
- top, to give presentability and as a reliable protective coating, a transparent varnish is applied to the paint.
As you name the ship, so it will float. Fast and smooth Lada Priora" named correctly! The car immediately became a priority model of the brand - and the demand for it has not decreased since 2007. It is also important that the car has reached the age when rebuilding it no longer seems like simple fun. Today tuning Lada "Priora" - the imperative of the time!
Some time ago we published an article about tuningLadaPriora, and it has not lost its relevance. On the page you can find a lot of interesting materials regarding the improvement of this glorious car.
However, the demand for tuning events has since become both greater and deeper. Our readers ask what are the features tuningLadaPriorawith a hatchback body.
The beginning of the transformation: chip tuning Lada "Priora" hatchback
Even the most incurious car owners are aware of the possibilities of chip tuning today. This operation is recognized as safe and even desirable - if using firmware approved by leading industry experts. However, readers of our site often ask: does an increase in the power output from the engine lead to an intensification of the wear of the piston group of parts?
We answer: it is theoretically possible to set such control modes for the operation of the motor, which will lead to the early destruction of its parts and assemblies. Such experiments are often and densely practiced during high-speed races over short distances. In everyday practice, the adjustment of the engine ECU operation is carried out strictly within the framework of even not permissible, but purely NORMAL loads on the motor.
It is another matter that many customers chip tuning Lada "Priora" hatchbackfollowing the introduction of additional horse power under the hood, they feel a surge of driver's energy, and change a calm driving style to an aggressive one. A sharp, ragged, jerky pace of movement of the car reduces the engine life many times faster than the calculated one.
However, it is worth mentioning the chip, which is focused on all-round fuel economy. Such a readjustment option can reduce the Priora's fuel consumption by 15% (maximum) - but this is where the pitfalls lie.
The car on a starvation diet drives slower, and for active maneuvering in city traffic, the driver has to turn on downshift (thereby increasing the engine speed) more often and drive it longer than if the ECU settings remained normal. As a result, vehicle wear is accelerated ...
The best option chip tuning LadaPriora hatchbacktoday is the installation of a module that makes it possible to choose the mode of operation of the car. Proven models of removable systems allow you to ride in "economy", "standard", "sport" modes.
Technical tuning: engine, transmission, suspension
How to achieve high dynamic characteristics by equipping the Priora engine with a turbocharger, we described in the article on the page. We also touched upon some aspects of tuning the piston group, valve mechanism, intake and exhaust tracts. However, not a word was said about the method for visually improving the engine. Namely, the introduction of a carbon film into the engine compartment.
According to practitioners of film tuning, the personal feeling of the power of the car allows us to estimate the increase in opportunities as a 10-15% increase. It should be noted that overseas, in America, chrome plating, nickel plating is used for the same purposes ...
And even the gilding of the engine compartment units. The older generation of Russian car enthusiasts remembers: a plastic spider with a suction cup located in the lower left corner rear window, no less effective.
The carbon film certainly does engine compartment more aesthetic. But the film does not save you from dirt! And the dirt under the hood is the forerunner of all kinds of troubles. There is no motorist in the world who would not agree to a permanently clean engine compartment!
The cover that covers the alternator belt does not solve all the problems, but it does away with small mud splashes. It is put on two bolts, it costs a penny - and it brings in a thousand benefits!
Such shields are made by small businesses, therefore, during installation, slight revision of the part may be required. But how nice it is to feel like Hercules, who cleaned the Augean stables in the engine compartment!
Let's get back to serious. Candles! Few people think that the ignition rate depends on the quality of the spark on the candle. fuel mixture... Our goal is to screw such a candle into the cylinder so that the mixture ignites even when it is cold, damp, and the engine freezes over after a week of parking in the foggy frost.
The candle replacement procedure is feasible even for a fifth grader. However, the selection of a "candidate" for the vacant position of the main device of the ignition system causes difficulties even for candidates of science. What should be preferred? Your choice is a solid brand, materials resistant to electroerosion, compliance of the heat rating with operating conditions.
Remember: after modifying the engine (changing the compression ratio, setting the boost, etc.) in the process tuning Lada "Priora" hatchback,regular candles require mandatory replacement!
Transmission tuning Lada "Priora" hatchback
Do you want to put a differential lock on the Prioru? Opinions about the usefulness of this innovation are contradictory. A front-wheel drive vehicle equipped with a locking device is less confident in its forward direction when driving on a road with an uneven, broken or icy surface.
Driving on a winter track or on a road, the left and right tracks of which are characterized by different rolling resistance, requires especially clear driving participation. The "Priora" of the factory configuration runs stably along such a road, only occasionally forcing the driver to slightly correct the course. On a Lada with a locked differential, you have to steer all the time - which is tiresome even for experienced motorists.
But the tuned car performs high-speed turns on the top five with a plus - in contrast to ordinary car... The differential lock allows you to add gas immediately after entering the curve - and if a standard equipped car tries to straighten its trajectory from such manipulation, then the tuned car will clearly perform the maneuver.
Conclusion: do not drive slowly, and do you prefer to overcome the winding mountain serpentines by taxi? Then refrain from installing a differential lock. Professing a sporty driving style, do you strive to pass any corner without slowing down? Feel free to put the differential lock!
Suspension tuning LadaPriora
The possibilities of air suspension are much wider than those of a hydraulic suspension. The main property of compressed gas is an increase in compression resistance in proportion to the resulting loads. None of the polymer spacers and steel springs either do not possess such a property, or are in an embryonic degree.
Why is air suspension not installed on serial Lada? Because it is expensive and difficult. But if you are not afraid of spending, and you are ready to purchase pneumatic struts, pneumatic buttons, a compressor and a receiver, as well as a pressure gauge, tubes and fittings (connecting fittings), then tuning suspension Lada "Priora" hatchbackcan be carried out in the most effective way!
Are you not enthusiastic about the air suspension? Have you found some great hydraulic props? Then be sure to replace the support of the upper struts of the front suspension. Powerful rubber pads will take over the damping of low-amplitude - including high-frequency, the most destructive - vibrations. Choose supports that wrap around the shock absorber rod tightly, without play.
Understatement of the body is fashionable among our compatriots Frets "Priora" cannot be considered a reasonable measure - and not only because the vehicle makers do not calculate the clearance at random. The problem is that a violation of the stiffness of the suspension entails a decrease in vehicle handling when driving on uneven roads. Braking distances after such "improvement" it increases by at least one third!
But if you've already made up your mind, remember: the installation of shortened or weakened springs, coupled with the MANDATORY welding of the side on the support heel of the spring rack, allows you to quickly, inexpensively and simply "put" the body on the asphalt.
True, the brakes can be strengthened. How to do this is described in the article on the page.
Body tuning LadaPriora hatchback
The integrity of the image is the key to a positive viewer perception of the car. Agree, auto, even taillights which is painted in the color of porcelain white, makes you tremblingly hold your breath.
Experiments with tuning body paint LadaPriora hatchbackcan be very different. However, be careful not to paint the car. The classic combination of muted red and matte black looked like a standard of elegance, until the decision was made to put floral patterns on the sides. Up close, such a "Priora" looks like a curiosity, but from a distance an indestructible impression of bituminous drips on the car sides is created ...
The vibrant orange color is pleasing to the eye, especially in cloudy weather. But how can you explain the wide black stripe in the middle? Perhaps the commitment of the motorist to the Shakhtar football club?
Ideal: rich eggplant color, scarlet accents on the longitudinal lines of the body, high-quality front body kit. It's not a shame to present such a car in an art salon as an example of advanced design ideas!
Variety of produced body kits for tuning Lada "Priora" hatchback allows you to equip the car with all possible aerodynamic devices. The owner of this car gave his iron pet the name "Cosmos". The body kits, especially a pair of rear spoilers, really give the car the look of an aircraft ...
Give the finishing touch body tuning LadaPriora hatchback!Fit the mid-century glittering chrome hubcaps! Retro is always in fashion! The snow-white "cuffs" on the tires, once seen only in government limousines, add to the splendor of the car.
Lighting fixtures must match the updated design!
It makes no sense to conduct deep and large-scale tuningLadaPriora hatchback,but at the same time leave the standard lighting fixtures intact. It's not about the original quality: both the headlights and the factory-installed taillights shine quite decently! However, if there is an opportunity to improve the light characteristics and plus let the force come in, why restrain yourself?
High-quality LEDs in the hands of auto electricians turn nominal headlights into fashionable "angel eyes".
True, the rules do not prohibit making the glow red. But who will stop our craftsmen?
The blood-red underbody illumination further enlivens the look of the tuned car.
Taillights are the most powerful design effort. Make sure, however, that the luminous flux of the tuning lights does not exceed reasonable values. Otherwise, the drivers of the cars walking behind, blinded by the glitter of your splendor, will from time to time catch up with you.
The austere beauty of diode tuning is impressive.
The original arrangement of the diodes helps to visually increase the width of the Priora. Light restraint does not exclude the refinement of the lines. Such a car is perceived as a solid, confident crew.
The extremely informative dashboard for Lada Priora can be the finishing touch of tuning efforts. The final for this stage, because, as you know, there is no limit to perfection.
Priora Lada
The car that you need
Fast not downcast and not at all a fool.
Priora Lada russian roads pleased
It was collected in the Russian expanse
To the delight of the people, the strangers on the mountain.
Priora is doing great!
Lada Priora, let those who call her Lada Pridura choke, because it is not so. Bright representative last generation line VAZ. Was born in 2007. It quickly burst into the market and completely knocked out from the first stage of popularity the very beloved at that time Lada 110. This happened already in 2011. During the five-year production cycle, more than 700 hundred people bought the car. During this time in external appearance cars have undergone very dramatic changes. Front bumper, steering wheel and rear mirrors have been replaced.
The new model from VAZ is equipped with a 1.6-liter sixteen-valve gasoline engine, power of 98 and 106 horses. Five-speed box gear, classic or automatic. Front wheel drive sedan was able to develop maximum speed up to 183 kilometers per hour. Fuel consumption in mixed cycle does not exceed 7 liters per hundred square meters. 
The exterior of the car was different from its contemporaries, but the interior left much to be desired. Standard upholstery, a modest, not bright dashboard - this is not the whole list of points that need an upgrade. And one more thing, Lada Priora is a very loud model, all sounds are heard in it like in a barrel. For this reason, car enthusiasts want to tune the interior so that it is comfortable, soft and inviting.
Start your work with a new soundproofing. What is the reason? Why from her?
Everything is elementary: what can you do, but the developers and the plant have saved on sound-insulating material, and therefore, while driving, the car acquires the qualities of a "rattle". It is quite possible to upgrade the Lada Priora with your own hands. What should be done first? Decide which parts of the cabin you want to soundproof.
If you act seriously, then it is best to put soundproofing over the area of \u200b\u200bthe entire cabin. The first stage is working with the ceiling. There was initially no sound protection except for the thin upholstery. When you drive along the road in the rain, you get the feeling that you are sitting in a trough. Work in this direction will not take much time. Three or four hours no more. What you need: two sheets of spleen, 2 sheets of bitoplast, 3 sheets of vibration isolator, a hard roller, a hair dryer and a stationery knife.
We tear off the upholstery from the ceiling, isolate plastic parts... We degrease the roof area and proceed. We smear the first layer on vibrating material, the second on splenitis and at the final stage on bitoplast. Apply a roller. Spare no time and effort, and therefore iron, iron, iron.
The work is done, you need to pick up the upholstery and plastic parts. Feel the thrill of new changes from your first voyages.
Sound insulation has many other advantages: it retains heat in cold weather and harmonizes heat transfer in summer time... But its condition must be constantly monitored and monitored for tightness issues.
