Currently in Russia there are a lot of companies that can customize the car according to all customer requirements. Practically «ten» ready for all your desires. Much has been said in road safety theory about the benefits of an airbag. Many imported cars are supplied with them. VAZ has designed its car so that it can be easily installed. Were suggested «dozens» with airbags, but buyers did not want to pay extra money for such cars. But if you want it installed on your car, tuning companies can install it.
Tuning companies can make the following improvements:
- engine power to bring to a hundred or more horsepower,
- reprogram computer block «January 5.1», so that at the push of a button inside the car you can change the character of your «friend»,
- install comfortable imported seats,
- by installing noise-absorbing material to make your car perfectly silent,
- plastic hinges to improve the appearance of the car,
- improve the driving performance of the car by installing other shock absorbers,
- install a spacer between the supporting parts to make the car more steerable when cornering,
- choose springs and anti-roll bars,
- repaint the car with custom paint,
- install 15-inch wheels with any tires.
Firms, obviously, can offer another set of improvements. But each revision requires additional costs from the customer, up to the cost of another such car.
The trip computer disciplines the work of the driver
Trip computers are designed specifically for the family «tenths» models, but they are not yet installed on cars that are currently being produced by VAZ.
Trip computer with index 2112, it can be installed in place for hours. A special tourniquet that everyone has «dozens», connects to the on-board network. It works in conjunction with on-board fuel injection control computers «January 5.1» and «BOSCH-M», but it is necessary to install jumpers on them according to the instructions attached to this unit.
The Samara company has developed a domestic minicomputer MDK. It can also be installed on «dozens» by attaching adhesive tape to the steering column housing. It is connected to the on-board network with three wires, according to the attached instructions. The capabilities of a mini-computer are slightly less than those of a regular one, but are quite sufficient to fulfill their purpose.
Here is a list of the main functions that a trip computer performs:
- measures and displays:
- instantaneous and average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers,
- average fuel consumption per hour if the car is moving at a speed of less than 20 km/h,
- the total mileage of the car on a digital speedometer, which is more accurate than the regular one,
- average and instantaneous speed according to a digital speedometer, which is more accurate than the regular one,
- fuel residues in the tank with a resolution of 1 liter,
- the estimated mileage on the remaining fuel in this driving mode,
- on-board network voltage,
- current time,
- engine running time,
- travel time,
- voltage deviations of the on-board network,
- mileage on remaining fuel less than 50 km,
– work in the mode of an alarm clock or a calendar is provided,
- if there is a sensor, indicates the air temperature behind the car,
- has an alarm for exceeding the speed set by the driver.
The trip computer makes the driver think about how much fuel he used when he tried to overtake all the drivers after the intersection, what is the most advantageous driving mode on a certain section of the road. And calculations show that only on saving gasoline for 50,000 kilometers, the purchase of this device is justified. It's written in a book «VAZ-2110, troubleshooting on the way, maintenance and operation».
