Brief description and history

It is the VAZ 2101 that is the oldest model of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant, with which the history of the domestic automobile industry began. On April 19, 1970, the first small car rolled off the plant's assembly line. The model was based on the Fiat 124 of the 1966 model year. In fact, the first “kopecks” were practically Italian cars, because technical specifications VAZ 2101 and Fait 124 were not much different from each other: a 1.2-liter engine and an entry-level interior trim. There was practically no difference between the cars.

Subsequently, domestic car designers significantly modified the design of the car to suit the operating conditions in our country. Ground clearance was increased because The quality of the road surface did not always allow travel with convenience and comfort. The body and suspension were significantly strengthened, thereby improving the technical characteristics of the VAZ 2101. Rear disc brakes from fiat were replaced with drum ones. This was explained by their durability and resistance to dust and dirt, which was always enough.

Almost everything has undergone changes, including the engine design. The distance between the cylinders was increased (this made it possible to bore the diameter of the cylinders), the camshaft was moved to the cylinder head. In addition to the engine, changes were made to the clutch, gearbox, and rear suspension. As a result, the weight of the car increased by 90 kg. In total, there were more than 800 changes and differences in the design of the VAZ 2101.

From 1970 to 1986, about three million VAZ 2101 cars were assembled at the plant. 19 years after the car left the assembly line, the first commercial copy took pride of place in the AvtoVAZ museum.

Tuning VAZ 2101

How much does the VAZ 2106 body weigh and what are its dimensions? People often ask on forums and car portals. Indeed, interest in the most popular car in the post-Soviet space was and remains incredibly high. Find out more by reading useful information on the body of this car. A lot depends on how much the body of the VAZ 2106 weighs, including the condition of the main parameters of the car.

Body weight

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

Let’s say right away that the “six” weighs exactly 1045 kg. Its mass is decomposed as follows:

Weight power unit along with additional equipment is 140 kg;
The gearbox weighs about 26 kg;
Shaft – 10 kg;
Rear axle – 52 kg;
Radiator – 7 kg;
Body – 280 kg.

It turns out that the body is the heaviest part of the car. It is exactly twice as heavy as the engine. The remaining parts of the machine have approximately the same mass.

Body dimensions of the “six” and their verification

There is a concept body size car. Along with this, it is customary to talk about geometric dimensions, which imply control standards and distances, the geometry of door and window openings, the distance between axes and much more.

As a rule, a car that has been in an accident is checked for displacement of the main body elements. Special attention is given to the following parts of the body:

Diagonals. The car is driven onto the overpass, and then the distance from one extreme point of the floor to the other is checked diagonally with a tape measure. If there is a discrepancy between the distances on one side and the other, there is movement of the body;
Racks. They are subject to mandatory verification. First of all, if the car has been in an accident, the intact side, not damaged, is diagnosed, and only then the damaged side.

Note. As for the choice of body points, then in this case you can choose any. For example, you can select from the pillar to the extreme point of the rear door.

Roof. To make sure that the roof is not leaking, you need to measure the dimensions of the doorways diagonally. The dimensions, of course, must match on both sides;
Glass. The compliance of the windshield and rear windows. Both are measured diagonally.

Standard linear/geometric dimensions of the VAZ 2106 body

Dimensions of front/rear door openings diagonally, mm	1273/983 (plus/minus 2 mm)
Distance between the posts (from the centers of the upper hinge links to the opposite pillars of the openings in the center of the door lock latches) front/rear, mm	889/819 (plus/minus 2 mm)
Distance between central pillars without upholstery (measured at 270 mm from the bottom of the opening), mm	1397 (plus/minus 2 mm)
Dimensions of window openings (wind/rear), mm	1375/1322 (plus/minus 4 mm)
Diagonal dimensions for the hood opening, mm	1594 (plus/minus 3 mm)
Diagonal dimensions for trunk lid, mm	1446 (plus/minus 4 mm)

Main characteristics of the “six”

VAZ 2106 is considered Soviet and Russian car, produced in the period 1975-2005. The car was manufactured and produced at VAZ, but already in 1998 some production facilities were moved to Syzran and Kherson. In 2002, the “six” was assembled at IzhAvto, where the last model of the legendary car was left on the assembly line.

It will be interesting to know: in total, over 4,300 million VAZ 2106 units have been produced in the entire history of the automotive industry at various factories.

The “Six” was also produced in several modifications. Regarding the body, the following noteworthy points can be made:

The modification of the VAZ 21061, intended for sale in Canada, had a completely different body installed. This one had special aluminum bumpers and fangs. The bumper also had trims and ends made of black plastic;
The VAZ 21063 body was equipped with “five” bumpers;
The body of 21065 was also equipped with aluminum bumpers, and some of the cars going for export were generally modified;

The VAZ 2121 was equipped with a body with the same bumpers as on the export 21061, only without sidelights.

As for specialized modifications:

The “six” was produced in a pickup truck. It was a modification of the "Tourist". The pickup truck had a tent built into the bed;
A single copy of the “six” called “half past seven” was produced by order of Leonid Ilyich. It was equipped with a different hood, modified for this modification.

Note. Interesting fact: according to the norms of Soviet industrial economics, the “six” with its dry weight of 1045 kg fell into the group of small class cars, but in terms of the volume of the power unit it fell into the third group.

The body of the “six” and its mass played an important role in compiling the technical data of the car.

Dependence of acceleration parameters on mass

Classic "six" Zhiguli

Engineers and designers know that there are a couple of classic methods to help improve vehicle data. And weight, or rather its ratio, plays almost the most important role in this matter.

Purely hypothetically: if you reduce the weight of the “six” by 10 percent, then the acceleration time to hundred (as we remember, it was 16 seconds) will also decrease by 10 percent. And this is already 15 seconds, which, you agree, is a good result.

To be specific, such a linear relationship between weight and acceleration only works in airless space, that is, in space. In fact, the car does not increase its parameters after 130 km/h, since it is impossible not to take into account the ASV (aerodynamic impact). And no matter how you reduce the weight of the car, you won’t help the matter. She will devote a lot to overcoming resistance. For example, if the power is 80 hp, then 40 hp. will definitely go to resistance, and the other half to acceleration.

It turns out that on cars with more power, weight reduction will have a more positive effect. The power unit still has a lot of power left for acceleration.

Another interesting point concerns the following. During maximum acceleration, the rear axle of the “six” is loaded. A portion of the weight moves from the front to the rear. For a rear-wheel drive car, this is only for the better - road traction becomes more effective. For the same reason, if we're talking about about reducing weight on the “six”, it is recommended not to touch the rear part, but to localize efforts to unload the middle and front zones.

Note. Another advantage in this regard can be considered the transfer of some components from the hood to the luggage compartment. For example, it could be a battery, washer reservoir, etc.

In order to make the VAZ 2106 a little lighter, it is recommended to do the following:

Operate a vehicle with incomplete fuel tank. As you know, a tank filled to the brim means an extra 80 kg of weight, which will certainly affect acceleration and fuel consumption.
Some experienced drivers also keep the washer reservoir empty - an extra 4-15 kg of weight.
Carrying a spare tire with you is, of course, correct. But without a spare wheel, the car loses about 12-25 kg, and this is no longer trivial.
A lot also depends on the type of disk. Thus, it is recommended to use forged wheels. They reduce not only the total, but also the inertial mass by 10-20 kg.
It is advisable to install the lightest battery. So, a 70-amp battery weighs 5 kg more than a 55-amp battery. We draw the appropriate conclusions.

More tips regarding more bodywork:

Welding the frame will not only increase the rigidity characteristics of the body, but also significantly reduce the weight. The fact is that in this case an unnecessary, extra piece of metal is cut out of the body (no longer needed to maintain rigidity). In addition, it will be possible to install lightweight doors;
You can replace standard heavy glasses with polycarbonate ones. This will reduce the weight of the car by 30-50 kg;
You can install bumpers made of lightweight materials instead of standard ones. It will also be necessary to remove standard fasteners and clamps, which will ultimately result in a weight reduction of 20-70 kg;
The hood and trunk can be replaced with similar ones, but made of composite materials;
The audio systems in the car, including speakers and a huge subwoofer, also take a toll on the mass;
You can replace the seats with sports ones;
Muffler tuning, carried out correctly, results in a weight reduction of up to 40 kg;
Lightening the power unit by replacing cast iron manifolds;
Installing a light flywheel results in a reduction of 3-8 kg;
Standard suspension elements can be replaced with tuning ones, aluminum levers can be installed;
Replace the steering wheel and gear shift knob.

Lightweight bumper for "six"

Remember that the weight of the VAZ 2106 body affects not only the acceleration of the car, but also its other important parameters. Reducing weight affects good handling, braking and much more.

The instructions for lightening the weight of a car given above are not the only one of its kind. Every driver acquires valuable knowledge over time and uses it. In general, competent tuning of a car can be done with your own hands, if you know the nuances and technical data of a particular car model. Videos and photos will greatly help in this matter.

A car's directional stability and handling are also directly related to its weight. The peak of popularity of large, heavy cars abroad occurred in the 50-60s of the last century. Then the auto industry produced truly gigantic cars. For example, the Cadillac Eldorado modification 8.2 weighed almost 3 tons. Agree that for such a weight, an appropriate makeweight is needed.

But as time passed, it became clear that for further development and improving the most important characteristics of the car, it is necessary to resort to reducing its overall weight. And if we compare the middle of the last century and today, cars have lost half, or even more, of their own weight. Plastic, carbon fiber reinforced plastic, light metals - all these innovations have made it possible to make the weight of a passenger car significantly lower.

Of course, for lovers of everything big and heavy, cars are produced that look like steamships that drink buckets of gasoline, but this is rather an exception to the rule.

How much a Lada Granta weighs is a rather interesting question. In terms of its dimensions, the machine is considered compact. Today it is the most affordable, accessible and quality car Russian automobile industry. What is it and how much does it weigh?

Basic information about the car

The new car was released in 2011 under the proud name Lada Granta. The noble sedan attracts with its external appearance and high-quality internal content. Car designed Russian manufacturers and is considered a real bestseller among everything. A year and a half after its release, the car became the most successful and in demand. Lada owners are satisfied with their purchase.

Lada Granta is made from four hundred original components. Noteworthy:

front and rear wings;
lighting technology;
hood;
bumpers;
wheels;
glass

This sedan is based on the long-known. Lada Granta has a length of 4260 mm, a width of 1700 mm, a height of 1500 mm, and the body has increased to 220 mm. This allowed the car to maintain decent dimensions for this class.

Dimensions of the car

Renault's innovations were used to develop the Lada Grant, but thanks to the contribution of domestic automakers, the price of the car was significantly reduced. The curb weight of the vehicle is 1040-1100 kg. It all depends on the model. At the same time, the total weight of the machine can vary between 1515-1575 kg. This is influenced by the vehicle's equipment.

For a model with very impressive dimensions, this weight is considered optimal.

Disadvantages and advantages of the car

Like any other model, the Lada Granta has its advantages and disadvantages. The main disadvantages of the model include:

There is noticeable play in the steering wheel. This deviation is clearly visible in the zero position, especially when driving along the highway, especially when it is uneven.
The opening between the glass and the roof. It does not have a seal, which entails the possibility of corrosion.
Somewhat ridiculous and inharmonious design.
Poor quality door handles.
Lack of roof rails to secure the trunk.
Poor lighting in the rear of the car.
Lack of temperature indication indicating the condition of the fluid in the engine.
Limitation of maintainability due to weak fastening of hinges.
Lack of headrests and foot mats as standard.

This does not make the Lada Granta worse and, due to its cost, is still in the lead. However, some little things really upset potential buyers. But if you put them aside and pay attention to the positives, it becomes much easier. Technical side The car and its curb weight are quite satisfactory. Performance characteristics and the durability of the car are its main advantages. The machine is easy to maintain and high quality. Finally, it is not so difficult, and this process is not expensive financially.

Main advantages of the car:

Gasoline consumption is optimal;
weighs little;
equipped with a modern dashboard;
different good review and the presence of large mirrors;
body base is long;
minimal overhang;
ground clearance is optimal;
The trunk is roomy.

The car is truly considered the best of its kind. Lada Granta is still popular today.

This is the only one domestic car, characterized by a compact body design and a spacious trunk. Most Grant owners are satisfied with their purchase, and minor design flaws can be easily eliminated with the help of tuning.
