Lay out the covers, remove their tightening, made,as a rule, from insufficiently strong materials.

Tip 2: How to refine "Kalina"
Lada "Kalina" is a youth car. And from the point of view of its potential consumers, it lacks dynamism, controllability on asphalt and other "driver" qualities. To refine the car with these requirements in mind is possible with the help of a small tuning.
Instructions
1
First of all, upgrade the brakesystem. For a car of the XXI century, the stopping distance from 100 km / h in 48 meters is a failure. Therefore, do not spare money to refine the brake mechanisms, especially if you increase the power of the motor. Ideal option will be disc brakes on all wheels, front set ventilated, with four-piston calipers. Tuning kits have long been produced for the Lad of the tenth family and come to Kalina without changes.
2
To install a sufficiently powerful brakesChange the car's wheels to 16-inch. This at the same time will allow to install a wide low-profile rubber with high performance characteristics. Unlike other VAZ passenger models, the Kalina wheel arches do not need to be modified for use with wheels with a landing diameter of up to 16 inches. In addition, after carrying out such a modernization, it will be possible to lower the body a little.
3
Modify the suspension. To do this, set to "Kalina»Sports tuning springs and shock absorbers. Together with the previous improvements it will improve the informative and sharp steering, save the car from rolls in corners, improve handling on asphalt and a broken highway. In order to completely get rid of understeer and a weak reaction to the steering wheel turns, adjust the adjustable racks. But keep in mind that their cost is quite high.
4
For easy boosting of 8-valve powerset on it a sports camshaft, an enlarged throttle, a straight-flow exhaust system and an air filter of zero resistance. Chokes get expensive, diameter about 54 mm. Cheap are often closed. Carry out a chip-tuning with a change in the engine management program. All the above improvements will allow the Kalina to start from a place at idle, accelerate a couple of seconds faster than a standard car and spin the engine to 7000 rpm.
5
For a more serious increase in power and otherEngine characteristics, change the head of the unit to the sports unit. If the basic engine "Kalina" 8-valve, the cost of the sports head will be very high, almost equal to the cost of the car in the basic configuration. For a 16-valve engine, the tuning head is almost 10 times cheaper. In addition, at this stage it will be necessary to bore the cylinders, replacing the crankshaft and injectors. The result of all the improvements will be an increase in the power of the 8-valve engine to 115-145 hp, 16-valve - up to 170 hp.
