Next, consider the most interesting refinements of "Niva Chevrolet" in more detail.
Elevator suspension
Upgraded suspension with increased roadlumen, probably, the main thing that owners of off-road cars do with their cars. When tuning the "Chevrolet Niva" suspension suspension is carried out in two ways:
installation of spacers;
installation of reinforced shock absorbers and racks.
Spacers are used with a slight upliftcar, when you only need to slightly increase the ground clearance. With this modernization, it will not be possible to put wheels of a larger diameter, you can only use dirt that is more prepared for off-road mud.
When installing upgraded racks, you can achieve not just increased ground clearance, but also large suspension strokes. This suspension will help the car to overcome much greater obstacles.
Engine modernization
A more powerful engine will not only make it more comfortablefeel behind the wheel on long trips, but also easier to overcome obstacles on the roads. The factory engine "Niva" is bored from 1700 to 1900 cubic cm and the installation of other pistons. Pistons are manufactured in factories and can be both cast and forged. After the installation of the pistons very often they use the flashing of the engine control unit or its replacement with a special modified one.
More serious improvements require a seriousinterference in the construction of the car and illegal without obtaining the appropriate permit. The standard engine can be installed turbocharged, which will add another 30-40 hp.
Some owners of "Niv" change their engines along withtransmission to more powerful ones. As a rule, Japanese or German engines are used. Couple to the motor, you can choose an automatic gearbox, then the SUV was very nice to use in the city. After this refinement, the driving sensations are completely different, it seems that you have a foreign car, not Chevrolet Niva. Engine revision should be carried out in accordance with all regulations and it is necessary to obtain a certificate of conformity.
Refinement of the heater
The standard stove in the car "Niva" is prettyweak and at strong frosts badly warms up an interior of an off-road car. In specialized stores you can buy an upgraded stove, which is much quieter than the regular one in terms of noise and at the same time it warms the interior better even in severe frosts.
The new heater uses VAZ spare parts, so that if necessary, it is possible to easily and cheaply repair the stove.
Modification of brakes
If the car is installed more powerfulthe motor or the regular is finalized, it is necessary to pay attention to brakes. Their modernization begins usually with the replacement of brake discs from the front to larger diameter disks. Next, rear drum brakes are changed to disk ones. In this case, the brake machine also changes.
After completion of the brake system, it is necessary to thoroughly pump the system and check its efficiency. Especially if the car is being worked on by hand.
Replacement of propeller shaft
The upgraded propeller shaft was developeddirectly at the factory "Cardan", which are developed and manufactured cardans for cars VAZ. The new shaft can work much quieter and less susceptible to vibration. The new part not only improves the characteristics, but also more reliable and durable. The main distinguishing feature of this design is a movable hinge. It is on him that all vibration is transmitted. There are other improvements to the "Niva Chevrolet", which can reduce vibration and extraneous noise, it is best to use them together.
Exterior and interior finishing
Remodeling the car body can be different,but the most interesting are those improvements that are functional. Useful space in the car is always not enough. An additional trunk on the roof will allow you to take on board much more things. For ease of loading and unloading, you can add a ladder to the car body or rear doors of the car.
Salon is less important for off-road driving, butwhile we spend the most time there, so we can not help paying attention to it, making the finalization of the Niva Chevrolet. For extra comfort, it is possible to equip the interior with seat heating, to alter seats into a more pleasant material. The most important thing is that all the work is performed qualitatively, otherwise you can not get the desired result. Any refinement, repair of "Chevrolet Niva" should be done by professionals, so it's better to contact a good service, then you will have an excellent car.</ span </ p>
