Zaporozhets is a truly legendary car. Over the entire period of its existence, he managed to win the hearts of millions of motorists. But now many drivers do not understand why to buy a ZAZ 968, especially to do the tuning of the Zaporozhets, if you can buy a newer car. However, where else can you find a car that costs 1.5 thousand rubles? Moreover, a good tuning of the Zaporozhets will cost no more than 10 thousand rubles, which is negligible compared to foreign cars. Therefore, if an old ZAZ is idle in your garage, you have a great opportunity to turn the “old trough” into a real racing car.

Zaporozhets 968M: motor tuning

And the best place to start is with the engine. First of all, you need to increase its working volume. To achieve the desired result, it is necessary to replace the standard cylinder-piston group with parts of a larger diameter. You can take similar pistons from the VAZ "classics" andinstall on a 1.2-liter ZAZ engine. Thus, you can add "Zaporozhets" at least 0.1 liters of working volume. When forcing the motor, it is desirable to fix the piston pins. At the end, you can replace or adjust the carburetor. In the first case, a part from the VAZ 2108 is installed in place of the old one, in the second, the fuel jets are changed.

Forcing the motor. Method number 2

If the previous method can take you a lot of time and effort, then the following method is just right for those who do not want to spend extra time tuning. To increase the power of Zaporozhets, you can simply install a BMW engine on it. Be sure that ZAZ has enough horsepower for sure. Together with the engine, the transmission should also be replaced, since the domestic gearbox is incompatible with the German engine. In time, this can take about a day or two, plus the search for the motor itself is the same amount. However, the next step can take you much more time than the actual search and installation of units. Registration is the most difficult stage in this work. To register all the changes and make them to the registration certificate, you will have to spend a lot of time in the traffic police. Moreover, it is not a fact that the inspectors will agree to enter this data into the car's passport. Therefore, here you need to calculate the additional costs to change your "Zaporozhets".

Tuning: interior photo

This photo bears little resemblance to the Spartan salon of ZAZ. Most likely, you will think that this is the interiorany foreign car. But this is really a ZAZ 968 model. Of course, to make such a salon, you need to spend a lot of time and money. What is most difficult: it is impossible to install a torpedo on a ZAZ from another car. All details are made independently. However, the result, of course, will be stunning: every passenger will be delighted with a trip on such a car.

If you are not eager to design the interior yourself, you can restore the old one by replacing all parts with similar ones. Thus, after you make the restoration tuning of the Zaporozhets, your ZAZ will acquire a fresh, and most importantly, factory interior with minimal costs for materials and other elements. All you need is a few feet of skin, some spray paint, a couple of plastic and metal pieces, and patience. Then such a tuning of the Zaporozhets will definitely not be left without attention.
