As a former owner of one of these I can confirm that since not a lot of work went into building one, repairs aren't hard either.
they were designed simple so repairs could be done by anyone, the soviet union was massive, you dont have a mechanic shop every 2km like you have everywhere else
@@shahramtondkarmobarakie1824it's a fiat design though
When I had mine I joked the factory tool kit was a rock and a bottle of vodka, if the rock didn't fix it get drunk
@@Mortonbmx its 90% Fiat, 10% GAZ made it so it survives in frigid winters.
Aren’t hard, but continuous. We had one when I was a kid (90s). And it always needed repairs, even though it was less than 10 years old.
And since Lada’s were very common where I grew up, I know it wasn’t just a lemon.
My previous old car was a 2009 Mazda 6, which was definitely NOT loved by the previous owner, yet it barely had any issues at 10years. And the few it had was fixable DIY.
How many shops can you see a Lada in one bay and a Ferrari in the next bay?
frankwhite2650
Are you an 2107 owner.
Fiat parts, imitation too, cheap to keep it running yourself.
Let's be honest at this point a preserved LADA is more of a prestige symbol for car guys than a Ferrari.
Well a lot maybe with other badges because they all are fiats
@@trifontrifonov4297Thanks alot ,I blew beer out my nostrils just reading your comment.
You neglected to add that both are clapped out, ancient pieces of rubbish. You can see this in any number of junkyards, btw...
The days of simple cars built to get you from A to B reliably and fix easily are long gone. My own "Lada" experience was a 62 Rambler American with a bullet proof six cylinder engine. The easiest car I've ever owned and worked on.
I re-did a Plymouth Valiant for that very reason. Powertrain is bulletproof, upgraded the suspension & brakes (12" rotors front, 11.25" rear), I can fix anything on the car- and people are always smiling, waving or asking questions when they see it cruising around
The lada is still the same.
I remember what people that drove Lada's here in Iceland always said. They bought Lada's because they just worked. And the extras like power steering or a cd player ain't breaking if they are not in the car in the first place😂
I really came to think that it was a good thing that we were producing this 60s car up to 2014, because now not only I can buy an old-school car dirt cheap, but I can also have brand new spare parts for it, since they are still being produced by some factories. Yes, it isn't all that great old-school car, but a nice one nonetheless.
My first car in 80s (used domesticly build Zastava 101) i got when i was 18 i fix everything by my self even i know nothing then about cars.FOr 5 years i drove it i never went to repair shop and parts were dirty cheap and you could buy them everywhere.Now when something goes wrong on my cars even dealers sometimes dont know to fix it and its stays there for few months
I had two of those, a '58 and a '59. Both had a "leaky" #5 cylinder. Those ran a bit hot on that engine (the flathead). Otherwise, a good reliable and simple car.
Before you let it out of the shop...
with the engine stopped slightly loosen the cap nut on the block (on the carb side of the engine) which is inline with the timing chain.
This releases the timing chain tensioner and you will hear a "ping" when it extends to take up any slack before it hits the timing chain.
Tighten the cap nut.
Now the tensioner is pre set and ready for oil pressure to keep the correct tension when the engine is running.
This procedure keeps the engine from sounding like a bucket of bolts ....most of the time.
P.S.
That Lada will theoretically reach 94mph...
but a 70mph is only just bearable as the engine will be revving quite high.....
60mph is comfortable......
P.P.S.
the carb may be Russian but the design is pure Italian Weber...
the 32/36 DGV 5a with manual choke bolts straight on...
It's not pure italian weber.
It's based on a Weber design, but it's an OZON(ozone).
Very finicky and hard to get working correctly, but when it does, it works quite well.
@JohnSmith you missed the step where you need to turn the engine COUNTER-CLOCKWISE, 1 full turn, to relieve any slack on the chain. I do remember the procedure, done it many times and the instructions actually came in the user manual that was in the glovebox.
@@guillermorisso2463
Is that counterclockwise as seen from the front of the vehicle...or CC from the driver's seat...
or is it counter the normal rotation of the engine (so you can't use the crank to do this or the starter)
you rotate the engine using the fan and fan belt or a socket on the crank pulley
against the normal rotation?
1 full turn in contrary direction of the normal engine rotation
The points spanner and work light that came in the Nivas is genius😊
Lada's, as do all Russian cars of Soviet desigm, were designed to be uncomplicated and rugged to cope with unpaved Sibirian dirt roads. As well as the harsh winters.
There were no such things as car shops, the owner would do the maintenance and repares at the curb or in a tiny parking garage.
The waiting list for a new Lada was sometimes over a decade.
The design is quite ingenious.
FIAT design !
@@lucasrem not fiat, it was changed a lot.
I spent a year in Moscow, these cars were always beat up but running.
Lada Niva is a really cool 4x4!
ΝΙVA is the best 4x4 the hunters in Greece are using them because NIVA can go were the other 4x4 can not go.
@@xristoslazarakos9250 Same in Australia !

@@xristoslazarakos9250 lemme introduce you to the MIGHTY UAZ 469
@@imupowqk actually, I don't think I've seen a comparison between those cars, and I would really like to see it, since both cars are pretty similar in the base idea.
I lived in St. Petersburg, Russia for four years building a factory and getting it up and running. We bought three Ladas for the locals to drive for errands, etc. I came to the conclusion after seeing so many accidents in Ladas that any accident would be a fatality. The Russians bought the complete tooling and assembly line from Fiat.
The ladas were very popular in demolition derby because they are made from relatively thick metal. The car will deform quite bad but keep on going... No modern crumple zones or safety features of course. The basic design is from the 60's.
@@Munakas-wq3gpAnd most importantly, they are cheap, if the car has previous damage, it's dirt cheap.
Perfect for the "fun" car, the one you dont care about, but somehow love more than the daily.
@@markellii3093 Funnily enough the prices for Ladas started to go up when they all got bought by the russians. Not by much but anyway... Car prices here are nearly double compared to most other countries due to insane taxation.
@@markellii3093 I remember when I drove my drivers license 2nd phase test drive, I had been driving my grandfathers old 'round eyed' Lada 1300 which didn't have a brake booster. Whenever stopping you really had to stand on the brakes. When I switched the the new Volvo of the driving school, the first braking attempts were pretty abrupt to say the least 😂 The Volvo had feather light controls.
@@Munakas-wq3gp yeah, the steering booster will really change the experience too.
Been a mechanic 40 years. 4.6 minutes after you send the un needed part back the one you have will fail.
Not in our experience. We actually have higher regard for Lada Nivas than American cars. Jeeps etc.
@MikeJones-mz5ig who is we lol? Pretty sure he was speaking in general as well..
@@shivermetimbers9316I'm in Oz. Where they were once imported like Canada.
😂
It says a lot about the Car Wizard that he freely admits when he makes a mistake (even when it is just ordering unneeded parts). It makes all of his other videos just that much more credible, and it shows how he takes what could be a bad situation and makes it into a learning experience. Just one of the reasons I love this channel, and I respect the Car Wizard (and Mrs. Wizard, too!)
We had plenty of lada's in the uk thay were cheep & reliable. I used to work on some i liked them and some had verneer adjustable distributor so you didn't need to unbolt it & move it to adjust the ignition timing. Great car's.
Yeh i used to remember loads of Riva's on the road, and pretty much overnight they all disappeared.
@@dj_paultuk7052
Russian ship's crews bought them and shipped them back to Russia for parts...YT vids showing a storm at sea with Ladas smashing into each other and falling overboard....
@@JohnSmith-pl2bk I have just been looking and in 1995 there were over 110000 registered in the U.K. By 2015 that was down to less than 200. By then a used engine was worth more in Russia than the whole car in the U.K.
@@MrDuncl
Here in New Zealand an Egyptian businessman (around 2007) arranged for two Egyptian mechanics to arrive in NZ on tourist visas.
They lived in a shipping container in a wrecker's yard and worked every day stripping all Ladas and Peugeots that were sent there for mechanical parts which were sent back home tp be sold all over Africa.....and Russia
That really cleaned out the last vestiges of the Ladas here which originally were traded by the USSR for our NZ butter in the 1980's
.
Which they then stripped out for butterfat etc. and on sold for more than it cost them originally...
and we got Ladas...especially Nivas.
I had one myself...on one occasion I drove through a West Coast river with water to the door handle on the upstream side....... driving past a Toyota Landcruiser flooded out......
32/36 DGV Weber carb off a Cortina gave it better torque response, the largest off road mud tyres possible without any suspension mods gave it the grip....and it surprised many people with where it could go and how well.....
ВАЗ - “Волжки Автомобилен Завод”, Volga Motor Plants (named to the big river Volga that passes through the Volgograd - known mostly by its WWII name as Stalingrad) 😊. The carburettor box says exactly that “Carburettor repair kit” 😂
That was a funny spelling. Sounded a bit German almost. Here is the correct one."Волжский автомобильный завод". But who cares anyway?:) Had a similar car in the family for years.
@@KLUKVOBORApologies, I just studied “руский язьк” in school - I’m not native 😊
LADA A SWAN
During the first year I drove my first VAZ/LADA I was puzzled.
Why does it say "BA3" all over the car?
Until I realized "BA3" is "VAZ" in the russian/cyrillic alphabet. :)
@@KLUKVOBOR He spelled it in Bulgarian
Hard to find a honest mechanic these days you definitely one of them.
Here in the UK, these were an object of derision when they were on sale. But a mate of mine had one and he reckoned it was the best car he'd ever owned - yes, it was crude, noisy and not well finished, but it was reliable and robust. He didn't have to worry too much about picking up parking dents and he discovered he could leave it all day in the railway station car park with the keys in it and he didn't have to worry about it being stolen.
It was a pleasure to see you actually working on a car and explaining the process instead of just talking about it. BTW... did you know that those cars came from the factory with a hand starting crank? They're redundant due to the North American mandated safety bumpers. There's a hole in the sheet metal behind the bumper to allow the crank (in the tool kit) to be inserted.
Diesel or oil on a hot exhaust is axctually worse than gas, since they can self ignite by temperature (not spark).
This is the reason why I didnt have an engine fire when the rubber hose leaked on my European Ford Fiesta
A valuable lesson - unless it needs replacing anyway, don’t throw parts at it
You are absolutely right about today's gasoline. I have a 1973 Thunderbird and if it's over 85° I have to worry about vapor lock. And what a great design on a carburetor where you can just change the accelerator pump. Without taking the entire top of the carburetor off. These cars were made to basically fix with a hammer!
Fun fact, you can buy injector kit, with stock parts from the factory..
Lada existed in a domestic version and one or more export versions, some export version was made in Finland. I recall 1200, 1300, 1500, and a 1600 engine for the thing, some said that there were two bore sizes for the engine and two cam shafts and you get four engines sizes. You could adjust the ignition timing to fit the gasoline you were putting on the beast, just pop the hood and adjust on the spot and you were good to go, so 100 mph was no problem with the 1600. Biggest issue was rust, but same shit for most cars of that time span.
The box you hold on 15:36 is a carburetor repair kit for К177V carburators, which were used in VAZ2101-2108 cars. Yours is VAZ2107 Lada.
Man these bring a lot of memories. Grew up in Cuba and these are everywhere.
2107 was my first rwd car and I did donuts after rain on parking lot. Seating position is bad but metal overall is strong. Thanks Wizard for this small history piece.
Hey I know the answer to this one! When you were a kid (guessing 80s-early 00s?) They had phased out leaded gas. To reduce knock they switched to Methyl Tert Butyl Ether (MTBE).Now the anti knock is some other compound and doesn't smell nearly as good.
I worked environmental consulting and always thought the spills that had MTBE smelled better than new gas spills.
Yea I remember this car from "Aging wheels" and even when it was here in Hungary. I own an identical model (and color) from 1987 my self. Yes the engine has ben completely rebuilt back here; not sure if the 4 speed gearbox has ben replaced to a 5 speed one, do to it was supposed to be sold with a 5 one, and i think the old owner even offered to ship the 5 speed gearbox to Robert when he realized the mistake. It's kind of a "must have" ; I brought a 5 speed one when my car's engine was rebuilt, its not expensive but its getting harder to find one, in good (no rebuild required) condition. (The engine needs a rebuild after every ~ 180000 km)
And yes the car hates modern fuels! I usually run it with 100 octane gas.
BTW. VAZ stand for: Volzsszkij Avtomobilnij Zavod AKA: passenger car factory along the Volga AKA: Volga Automotive Plant
The box says "an original carburetor rebuild kit". But the list of car models only mentions the 21072 model where the 2 means a 1.3L (or 21011) engine. Your car has a 1.5L (2103) engine which I believe comes with a different carburetor. So there might be some incompatibilities in the parts.
DAAZ carburetors are licensed copies of French Solex carburators.
My dad had the predecessor of this car, the Lada 1200. The owner's manual even described how to tension the distribution chain. The tools for doing that were actually in a toolbag that was delivered with the car. I remember tensioning the chain as a chore when I was about 15. Eventually the chain got too long and the engine blew up.
Nice to see the Wizard actually working on something vs just telling the story. Let's see more of it. :-)
That Lada would make an excellent winter-car.
I did work experience at a Lada, Skoda, Kia and Ssangyong dealer in the UK, you wouldn't believe how hopelessly shit these cars were, but the old Lada Riva (2107) weren't actually too bad if you kept on top of them. The Niva was an awesome little off-roader for very little money.
Crap but tough little things and really fun in the wet.
You can order tons of parts for ladas not made in Russia. Everything for brakes, springs, shock absorbers, ball joints etc can be sourced from TRW, Lemforder, sachs, kyb, skf to name a few. Brands like fenox are of really low quality of my experience. I daily a lada niva so ive gone through a lot of brands. Carburetor is DAAZ, model OZON
@CarWizard there are some other countries that continued producing it to 2013 I know Egypt was one of them. I don’t remember what the other countries were. They were making a lot and they changed nothing about them through all those years. I’m talking about the Lada just to be clear.
You need some "Dyadya Vasya" from garages to fix that car, really!
David, I am a committed car guy and I have learned so much about shops and what they are up against from you!
Great video!
A coworker of mine, from Russia, once told me that you can install a MIG fighter jet guidance system on a LADA but in the end you still have a LADA. lol
Driving an old Lada is an adventure even when it's running right! The steering wheel is more of a suggestion than anything, the suspension is a joke, it doesn't have enough power to get out of it's own way. Then there is the world famous Lada asymmetrical braking system that decides on it's own which wheel will be braking and when. Also, their owners are usually the Russian equivalent of Florida man.
Florida's man Russia named kubanoidy
My lada usually locked the rear brakes before the front ones, which were interesting on gravel roads 😂
@@papplet1
The brake proportioning valve mounted under the car was designed to fill up with mud and water and rust solid...
so yes...
no proportioned braking...
that would normally favour the discs up front with more pressure to the discs than the rear drums.
I'm very familiar with these Ladas, they were extremely popular in the 1980's in my home country, which is... Belgium.
Yup, Belgium was one of the largest export market for eastern block cars, Ladas, Skodas, Wartburgs, Barkas... Usually, the Belgian dealerships improved them before to sell them by upgrading the electrical system and some other parts.
I'm sure Belgians would have buy Trabants if there wasn't such a waiting list for the East-Germans themselves (but no worries, we had our BeNeLux equivalent, the dutch DAF Daffodil 😋).
I remember in the 80s these cars and the original Hyundai pony were everywhere in Canada .
They were the cheapest cars available
Zero reliability and rusted in three years .
The thing about these Lardas and there crib mates the Lada Niva ,when people had enough they abandoned them and left them in the countryside to rot …..
What do they do with Canadian roads. My dad's one lasted 20 years from 1982 to 2002 in Estonia, including 5 years in 1990-s he run it as taxi, and then he sold it to some framer in 2002 in running condition. It was a station wagon version, 2102, so useful on the farm.
@@dmitripogosian5084
Salt etc...instead of decent winter tyres being required by law.......
@@JohnSmith-pl2bk there were no salt on roads in Edmonton until few years ago. The will just scrape snow leaving some on. Btw winter tires are not required. People are quite worried for car rusting now. But in Torono, there was so much salt i could not believe when arrived in 1994. The winter boots lasted one season and then disintegrate.
Red rear brake cylinder - most likely its original soviet one, it wasn't replaced. Its a easy to check out, the original is a slightly longer than replacement.
You should use Hard Bass for the intro/outro music on your next Lada video. You should also be squatting down at all times during filming. For best results you're gonna wanna wear an adidas track suit.
Stay cheeki breeki!
I bet a shade tree mechanic done the brakes and
1. was lazy about cleaning
2. ran out of brake cleaner and just finished.
Both are really common with 1 being more popular.
My French father in law bought one of these, and we drove it while on holidays in the country; my wife called it our Russian Mercedes it was poorly made and the doors were hard to close and leaked gas from the old fashioned glass dome topped fuel pump, I wondered why it was so heavy on fuel and luckily didn't catch on fire, but it got us through during one bad winter of snow and iced up roads on its big Russian tyres!
We had 2 of these at our work here in New Zealand - our fleet mechanic replaced the original VAZ carb with a twin choke Weber from a Ford Cortina (Pinto engine I think) - the modified car had more power and used less fuel than the unmodified car! True story.
Well, it was stock on some ladas too
Can confirm 32/36 DGV usually electric choke...
4:40 brake fluid is a oil it will prevent rust also hydrophobic, here in canada if you blast that with brake fluid you just ruined it.. now you have to take everything apart or at least take the brake shoes off and grease everything thats not painted well including the back plate and grease the rubber with a dielectric grease that wont harm rubber, that way it lasts more than 1 winter season with salty roads or wet humid climates with condensation
You seem like an honest businessman. Rare these days.
In Soviet Russia, car fix mechanic.
when removing and replacing carburettor housing nuts put a rag over the induction holes first so as to not drop your nuts into that place
That brake cylinder will be needed some day. Any spare Lada part is a keeper Lada part.
There is a hundred of 1991 Ladas buried under ground in Halifax harbor. The importer went bankrupt and the harbor was not allowed to scrap them. They were paved over so they are probably in not such a bad condition.
Strange to see Lada Next To Ferrari, But Here in Eastern Europe We Have Both Riding Allong From Time To Time Now, Ladas More Offten Then Ferraris :D
Have owned 2 Ladas. That one is a Fiat 131 made under licence. I owned a front drive hatch, and a small 4wd. Both tough no frills vehicles and both unwanted trades. My salesperson who traded them '[at the right price'] managed to sell both. The hatch was the same color as this one. They brought them into Oz for 2 or 3 years early 90s from memory.
The importer had basically stock 4 wds entered into the Off Road Championship where they consistently finished if not memorable for pace.
That carb looks familiar,, no doubt a clone of the original Fiat piece. That diafram looks like a Holley one
91 meaning that car was built to run on unleaded, near certain the cheapest.
Those ceramic fuses were used on Fords until the late 70s. Bloody awfull things.
Really everyones else says the 124 .I remember a local man having a 131 and looking how it rusted everywhere .Not just the edges but the centre of panels also.
i shake my head when I see people revering Ferrari Daytonas which rusted big time too .
As a Norwegian, we had a lot of Russian cars.
I my self have had 3 Ladas, and 2 Skodas.
The reason was, of course, they where cheap, and easy to maintenance.
The Lada owners manual advises the driver to always cover their mouth when sneezing or else you will blow the windshield out.
(Windshields are always falling out on Ladas, well known problem in the USSR)
Possibly the extreme cold 'shrinking" the window sealing rubber?
A Garage 54 and Car Wizard collab would go hard 🚘🔥
Basically, these were a brand new 1970 Fiat-124 built 20 or so years after they stopped production in the Fiat factory!
My father had a Lada dealership in the early 90s. I'd love to get my hands on a Lada Niva.
my dad went to the USSR to buy a new one back in the day. This brings back memories
Why didnt they clean out the brake area? It was pretty minor in the grand scheme and they were worried about their accumulating intake of brake cleaner...Why dont you see (m)any old mechanics?
Carb work job 1: Stuff a clean rag into the venturi.
15:40 Rebuild kit for carburetor. Just a fellow Lithuania here
Basically a copy of a Fiat 124, which were cute cars. The Lada has been Russian-ified, but still carries a little of the original cuteness
I got the exact same color Lada a long time ago when I lived in the USSR now Russia. I sold it in 1997 for 1200 dollars when I moved to the USA. It brings a lot of fun memories.
I bought a Lada for €45 back in 2005 and drove it around Bulgaria for 5 weeks. I left it at the airport in Sophia.
From wikipedia: "AvtoVAZ... ...it was formerly named as VAZ (Russian: ВАЗ), an acronym for Volga Automotive Plant in Russian (Russian: Во́лжский автомоби́льный заво́д, romanized: Vólzhskiy avtomobíl'nyy zavód)" Hope I could help
this is the perfect post-EMP apocalypse car. Completely analog.
Very popular cars in Canada for a while. Whatever else could be said about them, they at least could handle a Canadian winter.
The vaz part stands for Volga automotive plant.
Fenox is a belarusian parts factory.
Man that more door Malibu in the background has been looking unloved for a long time - maybe instead of the stillborn Jag V12 conversion you could install two Lada engines into the Malibu and then have the ultimate Lada Malibu!
Me: Hmm, that Lada looks familiar...
Wizard: I got it from Aging Wheels.
Me: I knew it! Aging Wheels crossover! Kinda...
The fuses are keramik, the diaphragm is the same as from a Weber. It's a weber carb built under licence in Togliatti. I would buy the car but shipping is too expensive too Europe.
wizard on the carburator its not AA3 its DAAZ but its on cyrilic (ДААЗ)
There’s numerous stores in Miami , Florida that sell LADA parts also moscavich
I guess most of their customers are Cubans?
This is the best car! I drive one of this for every single day. You made actually great notice at the end of the video: this is only city car. By the way gas expense is about 40 miles per gallon it's like Toyota prius 😂 from 1980 year😅
VAZ literally translates to Volga Automotive Plant, since Russian companies are run by the states, most of them have a name similar to that based on their location. lot of car companies ZAZ, RAZ, TAZ, etc. no joke
Those heaps were sold in Canada in the late 70's to early 80's. The wizard will need those wheel cylinders eventually. The brake drums are two piece composite and the steel liner has a tendency to break loose from the aluminum under hard braking...had it happen to me. Electric is totally unreliable and failures at every point. The list continues. Canadian importers installed a Chevette 3 speed automatic in some models. Engines will explode at extended highway runs. Had that happen too. Cute but crappy. But parts were super cheap and resale was ultra cheap too. Mine was 2 years old and got it for $500. From one sucker to another.
VAZ stands for Volzhskiy Avtomobilniy Zavod (Volzhskiy Automotive Plant)
The LADA in general should have been a clue! There are not enough landfills for these remarkably low quality things!
16:36 is repart kit for a carburettor
I thought leaking brake fluid acted as paint stripper so you could tell if the paint was not stripped it was wheel bearing or diff lubricant.
I understand the estimate rules you got, but sometimes i wont even take a car in unless i have a ballpark of what im paying
It's actually an evolution of the Fiat 125. Be careful : rear wheel traction, tricky roadhandling in wet circumstances!
This is a Fiat 128. They sold the license to russians in 1966 and russians created a city named "Togliattigrad" where these were built. Russians streghten the frame to adapt it to their messy roads and lifted the suspensions, but still, this in essence is a car from Fiat, designed at the beginning of the '60s.
It is based on the 124, not the 128.
Just done that.. 62 Thunderbird i've brought home to finish up other work..Back of the right drum was wet.
Right drum was dragging bad enough to leave marks on the floor.. i mean a long mark tire had
picked up tranny fluid & just slid. i'm alone & can't see what's up. Go jack the one wheel & drive to the lift.
Get it up find out he'd adjusted,well to the jambed on setting. Why let it roll at all, jambed must be good, right?
Back it off top up the fluid mark the master(with tape) & driven for a week (other stuff done by then).. fluid level didn't drop.
Pulled the drum. He'd been there changed the parts & left wet filth on the back plate. That's my job
most times correcting things left when these things were last stored.
What i've only got 30 odd more cars in the building like that. I work for a car collector, aka. hidden trouble
collector. It's not easy
We had these in Cuba. Great little cars, still going!
Not Russian guy: wtf is that..
Russian guy: о, семерочка:)
I tuned up my car when it stalled lol and behold I’m missing coils and wires because now it runs rough and codes referring to cylinder misfires 🤷
When its a consumable part Its allways good to have spares , not to many of course 😆
Wizard 🧙♂️
You must edit at least one video with the sound of an air wrench as you turn bolts by hand.
Like Lee majors in The 6 million dollar man. 😂
Given the quality of Russian brake seals, it won't be too long before you will need the replacement wheel cylinder, so money not wasted.
Ah, the old and venerable 60s Fiat 124 made under licence decades after its use by date.
Hi Wizard, on the last Hoovies vid there was a portable lift with 4 lift arms on it. Can you tell me who makes that & if you like it or not? Thanks man!
its a perfect Nantucket, Martha Vinyard car
Looks like Boris or Vadim's car
I drove my Lada at 75 mph on highway 401 in Toronto many times. With the 4 speed manual, it sucked. Needed a bit more power and at least one more gear.
Anything from Russia I am not a fan of. But a pretty cool car. Looks kind of like a Fiat.
Yes ! Ethanol eats these old style gaskets very easily !
The Russian music hahaha
Car Wizard, are you related to the русский автомобильный волшебник doing magic with Lada cars at the "Garage 54" RUclips channel?
You do seem to have the same hair style.
Hey it never hurts to have spare brake parts from an overseas car, especially one from Russia -- im guessing wheel cylinders arent that expensive except for shipping.
DAAZ carburator is good thing. People had adjusted those things this way that they managed drive 5L for 100km but yes, you car dint had much power.
I prefer moskvich, it is more relaible car then lada.
