Lada with a difference....

Avtovaz · 21-04-2008, 15:14

i was told it was probably a good idea to post my car on here, so here goes

here is my lada 2105 road rally car

using the 1500 Lada engine it never had enough power for me, so i decided to do a bit of a conversion over christmas

linked to a tran x box

the car has now been transformed!

if you want to see how i did it have a look at this:

That's fantastic!

Just read the entire thread, you are completely crazy! Please say you're going to get better brakes and fix the understeer?

Avtovaz · 21-04-2008, 15:25

LOL! brakes are Fiat croma turbo disks and volvo 4 pot calipers

understear was because the rear was too soft and it had toe out tracking!

all sorted, but a few tweeks to go

hello avto, i know of you from britishrally forums.

lada looks a real fun DIY project. 4A-GE would of been better tho

a true sleeper. what the rest of you people recon ?

**CraigGreen** · 22-04-2008, 14:43

That is cool as fook. Be cool to take it over to Romania & blow away the budget street racers in there std 1500's. LOL

Be awesome to waste a poncey Brit in a 3 series BM off the lights aswell. Infact the possibilities are endless!

lewist123 · 22-04-2008, 18:55

nicely done!!!!

love these kind of projects and creations..

how many 'roode boyz' in chavved up little cars have you pasted?

Avtovaz · 24-04-2008, 17:59

quite a few LOL!

I have taken a few people out in it and showed them how sideways a car can go LOL!

best is little trips around the industrial estate by my mates garage, only had 2 people throw up when they got out LOL!

thanks for the comments!

Its project is truely interesting. Use you it original gear box of LADA?

Sorry for my english

Greetings from Spain

**Gordon Livsey** · 12-05-2008, 14:10

bet that wipes the smile off a few folk, nice to see an XE going in to something different rather than a nova or a corsa

AndrisV · 12-05-2008, 15:18

Hehe

And there is a little bonus point about XE ..

A lot of local rallying championship rules require to use at least engine from same manufacturer (sometimes restricted to engines fitted to particular car), but anyway, my point - XE was fitted in a small homoligation batch of Lada 21106

So basicly, XE is Lada engine

Are you saying you are using the lada'a original gearbox with X20xe, and did you have to get a bell housing made to fit the x20xe with the lad's gear box.

bigwillie2000 · 19-05-2008, 18:04

i want one!

CortraGTE · 20-05-2008, 09:32

Avtovaz · 21-05-2008, 22:38

HAHAHA!

Engine is a c20xe out of a cav mk3
Gearbox is ford type 9 as fittd to seirra and is 5 speed with tranx gear kit
Bellhousing is a conversion one you can buy from the likes of rally and comp for £160
Clutch is now standard sierrra but is struggling with the power so i have a paddle to fit now
prop is slightly lengthened rs2000 mkii escort
rear axel is 1/2 ford engish with english diff, and 1/2 lada, with lada drums and shafts which fit right into the english diff
its 5 linked as standard

It has adjustible bias brakes threw a pedal box,
front brakes are fiat croma turbo disks, and volvo 240 4 pot calipers [ very simular to pricness 4 pots but a lot cheeper! ]
front is wishbones, billstein shocks [ and rear too ! ] lada 2121 [ niva ] springs front and cut down standard rear springs with another set of rear springs cut down to 5 coild joined to the other springs !!!

Bet you never heard of that before!
car is on 14" compomotive mo's to get over the brake calipers

bulkhead was cut to get the xe in
tunnel was cut to get the type 9 in
apart fromt hat the car is factory 21057

Jack · 22-05-2008, 08:41

Very interested in the rear axle setup!

Avtovaz · 22-05-2008, 21:58

Jack, the axel is just cut on the 2 tubes if you like...

in teh pic, see the part where the diff lives, as that comes down into one diameter, to the end of the axel, that part is cut and lada tubes are welded onto...

simple!

thing is, i now find you can get a lsd unit from the Ukraine for £250 + postage!
