Domestic cars ZAZ-968, of course, require tuning, because for several decades they have become obsolete not only morally, but also technically. To be honest, the 968 was not some kind of technical achievement even in the 70s. This position was then occupied by the legendary "twenty-four".

ZAZ was the most affordable and cheapest car, which had the lowest level of reliability and comfort. But this situation can be corrected by tuning the technical characteristics and installing new facing materials. So, let's look at what details can be changed in the domestic Zaporozhets.

ZAZ-968: performance and engine tuning

The maximum power that this power unit developed was 50 horsepower. Therefore, tuning it is practically useless, since even this will not increase the power by one and a half to two times (and if it can be increased, then the price for such repairs will be equal to the cost of a new ZAZ). But do not despair, because there is always a way out. The simplest, fastest anda cheap tuning option would be to replace the motor with a VAZ one. But here it should be remembered that after such tuning it is necessary to enter this into the registration certificate (or make it numberless), otherwise you will have big problems with the traffic police. You should also take care of the gearbox, as the serial transmission does not get along with the VAZ one.

Drive

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

The interior of "Zaporozhets" looks Spartan. There is practically nothing for extra comfort, there are only two rows of seats, a steering wheel and an instrument panel with a speedometer and tachometer.

Therefore, as they say, there is where to turn around. And you can start remodeling the cabin with the installation of new seats. Few people are now engaged in the repair of old chairs, and if they are, then it will cost oh, how expensive. Therefore, a reasonable option would be to install seats from ZAZ-Tavria. A thicker and softer steering wheel, as well as complete soundproofing, would not hurt. The dashboard can also be tuned. Unfortunately, there are no ready-made kits, so you have to make your own. But this has its own plus - you can bring the car to full compliance with your requirements. The most common option is a panel offiberglass.

And completes this whole process of tuning the appearance. Here you can choose from two options - either to give the Zaporozhets a modern look by equipping it with body kits and spoilers, or to completely restore its original appearance by making a car in retro style. In any case, the car will look very good and attractive. The main thing in tuning is to be careful and not do rash acts when doing work. Then your iron friend will thank you with a beautiful appearance that will cause real delight among pedestrians passing by.
