Hello all,

About a year go I imported a VAZ 2101 from Hungary. Please see the pictures below. I drive it every day, so since than I have made some modifications. I will post pictures of what it looks like now, soon.









Because I drive it every day I have made the following modifications:
[*] Double front stabilizer bars;
[*] Polyurethane bushings for the front suspension;
[*] New stiffer springs;
[*] New shocks;
[*] 15" steel wheels with 195/50 R15 Bridgestone Potenza tires;
[*] Ventilated front disc brakes from a GAZ 3110;
[*] Rear disc brake kit from Дизайн-Сервис;

I will be in Moscow in the first week of August to have some more work done on the car. I want it to have a classic look, but drive and brake (most importantly) like a modern car. During my week in Moscow I will try to gather some parts as well, so I will also post something in the parts wanted section .

In the Netherlands these cars are very rare and parts are difficult to find, so if anyone has any good sites, besides this, where I could search for parts in the Moscow area that would be great!

Arthur

Машина класс. Кроме очевидных колесных дисков, и замены замков ветрового и заднего стекол, я бы срезал под углом концевик глушителя, и образ был бы законченным

Нет никакого толка в Вашем комментарии про срез глушителя, если автор его не поймет...

Welcome! Very nice licence plates, looks like a soviet, white letters on black, and rear plate is square.
In Moscow you can find details, for example, on open market Yuzhny Port (South Port) beside "Kozhukhovskaya" subway station or in shops "Русь" (http://www.rus-treyd.ru/) and "Кэмп" (http://www.kemp1.ru/), but unfortunately, i guess, there will be difficult to find english spoken person.
Good luck to you and your VAZ!
P.S. In year 2002 i was in Amsterdam and saw there VAZ-2105, brown.

Thanks for the welcome! Yeah the licence plates look very much like the old soviet ones, I think they fit the car very nicely. I am prepared that it will most likely be difficult to find English speaking people in Moscow. A member of this site has already agreed to help me find some parts and act as a translator as well, so I am very very happy with his help. Although it might be time for me to learn some Russian, as parts are difficult to find in Holland.

My first car was a red VAZ-2105, they are a little more common, but still pretty rare. None of the Lada's were ever very common in Holland.

Nice car mate. I use mine here in Italy, I was wondering which kind of fuel do you use there in Netherlands!? Here 95 (super) is the minimum. and this fuel kills the engine.... is there any solution!?

Классный рассказ, особенно последний абзац )

Клево.

Вообще до слез прям.

Thanks for posting the story Kira!

It was a very cool trip although sometimes a bit nerve wrecking trying to get it home. But all in all it was a very good experience and all the people we met have been more than nice and willing to help out!

@ Askr I use 95 with a lead replacement additive, not perfect but should minimize the damage and I don't drive 100k km per year so it should last for some time. But I hope to put in a more modern european engine and transmission as I drive this car daily and parts are not easy to get and it is a little slow for modern traffic.

oh.... actually that is a problem. Here in Italy, I could get the driving plates only like an "history car" so I'm not quite sure if I can change the engine. And the problem is that after a certain distance, once I needed someone who understands this engine. And you know, it's kind of none here. Anyway please let me know, if you can find some kind of engine+transmission, that suits perfectly (or at least not with too much difficulty) instead of original. Good luck with this hot car :)

Hello.
Nice car and plans. I was always sure that in Moscow you can easily find english-speaking people (i have lived there for five years).
Whar carburettor is now installed on car? Is it Weber?
