In this section you will find many photos of Tuning the VAZ 2110. Tuning the interior, engine, as well as external tuning of the VAZ car. Here you will find photos of both tuned and classic VAZ 2110 cars, as well as photos of cars and girls, demotivators on the topic of VAZ cars and much more.

At the time it entered the market, the Eight was considered a truly revolutionary model among the entire model line of the Volga concern. It was this front-wheel drive car that was able to set new standards in design and driving performance for Soviet motorists. However, time passed, and the car began to become obsolete. In Togliatti they thought about creating a more progressive model and it soon appeared.

The history of the creation of the VAZ 2110 begins in 1985. From this moment on, engineers of the Togliatti Automobile Plant begin developing entire series of projects and mock-ups of the future model.

The creators were faced with the task of creating a second-generation front-wheel drive car, which would become the ideological successor to the Samara family, and at the same time, in terms of prestige, could become a level higher than the “classic” that was representative at that time. Moreover, it was planned to introduce a number of innovations into the series, the embodiment of which would be “Ten”.

Work has been carried out on the body for a long time to optimize the aerodynamic drag coefficient. Since the creation of the project and its implementation into reality, the Lada 2110 has undergone many changes in appearance, but ultimately the car entered the assembly line with a streamlined body shape.

The aerodynamic drag indicator was 0.3 units. Such figures were achieved not least due to the fact that the aerodynamics were refined by domestic engineers in collaboration with Porsche specialists.

The premiere of the VAZ 2110 took place in 1993 as part of an exhibition in Moscow. In the same year, the Russian sedan made its debut in Paris. It should be noted that the public greeted the new product very favorably, because its design at that time was quite modern and attractive. But the technical characteristics of the world model are already outdated. “Ten” entered the assembly line in 1995.

Optimization

Despite the fact that the body was created, for the most part, by engineers, the car turned out to be quite nice and does not evoke negative emotions from a design point of view. It is worth noting the smooth contour of the profile, the absence of pronounced stampings on the sidewalls, as well as laconic bumpers.

Lighting optics are combined into blocks. The high ground clearance of 175 millimeters allows you to confidently move along country roads without fear of damaging the underbody or body parts.

Among the shortcomings, it is necessary to highlight the mediocre fit of the body panels. It is simply impossible not to notice the huge and uneven gaps between the hood and fenders, as well as between the doors.

Along the way of making it cheaper.

The interior looks good even after many years. Its main feature is the multifunctional central console. In rich versions, it had an on-board computer panel, which displayed an indication of open doors, as well as warning lamps.

An analog clock is located next to the trip computer. The climate system unit is located in the upper part of the console. Adjustments were made using two toggle switches with visual markings of temperature and fan operating modes.

The instrument panel is perfectly readable due to large digitization and green backlighting, which has a calming effect on the eyes in the dark. On later modifications, two trip computer windows appeared, which displayed the air temperature outside, the odometer, as well as the power reserve and instant fuel consumption.

Other problems

If no problems are identified with the fluid level, then we begin checking all possible faults one by one.

  • Checking brake fluid level sensor. You need to press the button on top of the sensor. We start the car and make sure that our light with an exclamation mark is on. We release the button from the sensor and if the light goes out, then the sensor is faulty.


    Click on the button.


    The indicator should light up.

  • Let's check just in case float operation, maybe it's out of order. With the ignition on, press the float, the light should go out.


    The float is clamped, the exclamation mark should go out.


    The float is fully pressed out and the exclamation mark should light up.

  • The light is still on, which means the problem is in the wiring . In such a situation, it is necessary to call all the wires coming from the sensor on the tank.

Complex genera of the “antelope”: the history of the VAZ-2110

Long before the release of the three-door hatchback 2108, it became clear to the developers that a new sedan was needed to replace the frankly outdated Zhiguli. Opinions were divided: some designers were of the opinion that it should be created on a new (front-wheel drive) platform, while others saw the future car on a “classic” unit base. The promising rear-wheel drive model received the index 2112, and several groups of designers and constructors have been actively working on it since the early eighties.

By the time the G8 was launched into mass production, few people doubted the advantages of front-wheel drive, so by 1985 the 2112 project was closed. At the same time, the plant was working on a Sputnik with a three-volume, four-door body: a model with the index 2110 was presented to the artistic council of the Ministry of Automotive Industry in July 1983 - in fact, in appearance this car practically repeated the serial VAZ-21099, which went into production already in 1990. “Ninety-ninth” ceased to be a VAZ-2110 only towards the end of 1985, when its original index was “given” to the second generation front-wheel drive vehicles.

Considering the strategic miscalculation regarding the “eighth” family, this time it was decided to launch the sedan in demand in the USSR first, and not the hatch. However, work on the station wagon and the five-door hatchback of the tenth family was carried out almost simultaneously. The “Ten” was conceived precisely as a family that could later replace both the “classics” and Sputnik.

The VAZ-2112 looked somewhat reminiscent of the newest Audi 100 C3

Work on the new family began precisely in 1985, immediately after the closure of the “classic” project 2112, but at that time the country began to be in a fever. Perestroika and the transition to a self-supporting economy led to the fact that infrastructure and industry (including the automotive industry!) began to slowly collapse. In 1987, the state began to cut back or completely reduce funding for factories, which primarily affected promising models and the launch of new products. That is why not only the “ten” was born “in agony”, but also models from other factories - the new Moskvich, Tavria, Oda...

Since the launch of the “ten” into production was constantly postponed due to a banal lack of funds, designers and constructors, willy-nilly, had the opportunity to refine the car and “refresh” it taking into account new trends. Perhaps that is why the VAZ-2110 design project was accepted only the third time. In parallel with the improvements in appearance, the content was also changed. In particular, thanks to the forced pause, by the time the car was put into production at VAZ, fuel injection had been mastered, without which entering foreign markets in the early nineties was simply impossible.

Even during the development of the new sedan on a rear-wheel drive platform, designers paid a lot of attention to aerodynamics, smoothing out the shapes to achieve the lowest drag coefficient Cx. Already during the work on the “ten”, Cx became a kind of fix idea for designers who wanted to achieve the 0.3 indicator in all possible ways. That is why, during the transition from the zero series of prototypes to the hundredth and especially the two hundredth, the car was noticeably rounded - the transitions and lines were smoothed out, thanks to which the aerodynamics really improved.

In fact, it was the desire to “lick” the body that determined the appearance of the “ten,” which was devoid of any protruding elements. And it was no coincidence that the rear arches turned out this way: by “covering” the wheel niche with them, the designers managed to significantly improve the distribution of air flows (on the mock-ups, the rear wheel was generally covered by a special shield!). True, the silhouette turned out to be quite peculiar, if not heavy. That is why wits subsequently dubbed the unnamed car of the tenth family “a pregnant antelope.” In the heavy silhouette of the VAZ-2110 with wheels deeply recessed into the arches and plump sidewalls, there really was something of an animal in the status of a future mother...

VAZ-2110 zero series

On the other hand, the factory workers chose the course towards streamlining correctly, because it was in this spirit that, for example, the 1983 Audi 100 Car of the Year was made. Subsequently, the production “ten” was somehow subtly similar to another Audi model – the “eighty” , and also on Volkswagen Passat B3 , and there were reasons for that. After all, it was at the time of working on the future VAZ-2110 that Tolyatti designers had the opportunity to carefully examine pre-production German cars at the Dmitrovsky training ground, where the “Germans” underwent winter tests in 1986.

Obviously, the appearance of the latest developments from VW and Audi has significantly influenced the image of the “ten”. Like the Eighty, the VAZ-2110 received a barrel-shaped body with soft lines and smooth transitions from volume to volume. The general “slickness” was also facilitated by glued glass, which appeared on the “ten” for the first time on a production car in the CIS.

The left side of the prototype is very similar in design to the stern... of a Mercedes!

However, while working on the 2110 project, VAZ designers even managed to “reinvent their own bicycle”: on the model of the 100a series, a very interesting solution appeared in the rear part - taillights with access to the trunk. Subsequently, this is exactly what was done on the Mercedes W202 , which went into production almost a decade later!

Another unusual solution on the prototypes of that period was the windows in the doors, which someone aptly dubbed “hundred-gram windows.” They appeared due to the fact that it was impossible to lower the side windows, since for the sake of aerodynamics they had a spherical surface. The hundred-gram windows remained on the prototypes for quite a long time, right up to the launch of the “ten” into production, but due to low technology, we had to return to a more traditional design with curved glass and frame doors. It’s surprising that two years later, in 1991, such a solution appeared on the production (!) Subaru SVX car!

Since, for objective reasons, “the antelope still did not give birth,” images of plasticine models were leaked to the press, and not only the Soviet one. Some Western commentators sarcastically quipped about the appearance of the future “ten” in 1990 - they say it looks more like a damaged product from the Zagato body shop than a Soviet car of its own design.

In fairness, it should be admitted that the “ten”, especially in the area of ​​​​the lower part of the doors, really gives the impression of a slightly raw, unfinished product. And the rear optics look strange - it seems that its halves were taken from different cars, and the situation was aggravated by small thirteen-inch wheels with discs from the “eight”, which did not at all suit the design of the “ten”.

However, there are objective reasons for all this - the “birth” was long and quite difficult. Perhaps the final appearance of the car was influenced by the fact that its designer Vladimir Yartsev had already emigrated from the USSR by that time, so other people were involved in fine-tuning the exterior.

The interior required as much effort as the exterior

Nevertheless, when the new model was demonstrated first in 1993 at the Moscow Manege, and then a year later at the Paris Motor Show, the public reacted quite actively to the premiere. After all, the “ten”, by the standards of that time, looked modern and contrasted strikingly with the already boring silhouette of the angular “chisel” .

This logo appeared on the VAZ-2110

Almost twenty years after the start of production, cars of the tenth family are treated more favorably - as they say, time heals. The VAZ-2110 fulfilled its task, also becoming the basis for the Priora model, on which designers and constructors were able to correct much of what, for various reasons, could not be done on the “ten” in the way they wanted.
