Methods of tuning the domestic car ZAZ-968

Domestic cars of the brand ZAZ-968, undoubtedly, require tuning, since for several decades they have become obsolete not only morally, but also technically. Honestly, the 968 was not some kind of a model of technical achievements even in the 70s. This position was then occupied by the legendary "twenty-four". ZAZ was the most affordable and cheap car, which had the lowest level of reliability and comfort. But this situation can be rectified by tuning technical characteristics and installing new facing materials. So, let's consider what details can be changed in the domestic Zaporozhets.

ZAZ-968: characteristics and tuning of the engine

The maximum power that this power unit developed was 50 horsepower. Therefore, tuning it is almost useless, since even this will not increase the capacity by a half or two (and if it can be increased, the price for such repairs will be equal to the cost of the new ZAZ). But do not despair, because the output always exists. The simplest, fastest and cheapest option for tuning is the replacement of the engine with VAZ. But here it should be remembered that after such tuning it is necessary to inscribe it in the technical passport (or make it unlimited), otherwise you will have big problems with the traffic police. Also it is necessary to take care of the gearbox, since the serial transmission does not get along with VAZ.

Drive unit

If you want to make your ZAZ-968 more sporty and original, you can convert it into a front-wheel drive. But for this you need to move the engine from the trunk (namely there is a motor) to the hood, attaching to it the engine and transmission from the "Oka".

Salon tuning ZAZ-968

The interior of Zaporozhets looks like Spartan. In it there is almost nothing for extra comfort, there are only two rows of seats, a steering wheel and a dashboard with a speedometer and a tachometer.

Therefore, here, as they say, there is where to turn around. And you can start reworking the cabin with the installation of new seats. Repair of old armchairs now very few people are engaged, and if and is engaged, it will cost oh as it is not cheap. Therefore, a reasonable option is to install the seats from ZAZ-Tavria. Would not prevent a thicker and more soft steering wheel, as well as complete noise insulation. The instrument board can also be tuned. Ready kits, unfortunately, no, so you'll have to do it yourself. But there is a plus in this - you can bring the car in full compliance with your requirements. The most common option is a fiberglass panel.

Body

And completes the whole process of tuning the appearance. Here you can choose from two options - either to give "Zaporozhtsu" modernity, manning its body kit and spoilers, for completely restore its original appearance, making the car in retro style. In any case, the machine will look very nice and attractive. The main thing in tuning is to be neat and not to do rash things when doing work. Then your iron friend will thank you with a beautiful appearance, which will cause real enthusiasm for passing pedestrians.
