So I bought a Lada...

So I bought a Lada...
Yes I am now the owner of the russian box. Plans at the moment are to get a good tune, then some small TSLs so that she has a little more traction in the slippery stuff.
Will post pics tonight.

My understanding is they're a pretty tough go anywhere vehicle.
A bit like the Zooks actually - way more capable than people who aren't in the know, give them credit for.
Well done.
Might want to get the wiring looked at. My understanding is the electricals are pretty prone to problems.

Yes, luckly my housemate and good friend is an auto elec so I have that base covered. I was amazed at the amount of wiring for such a simple car. Mine even has headlight wipers!
I think the zooks have it over the lada's due to the live axel front, but it would be good to tag along on a zook day to see how they match up.
Now to find some 15 inch rims with the right offset...

Hehehe, good to see that your not all just calling me mad! I am not going to go wild, my Pajero is my other 4wd its just that if I write the Lada off / trash it its only a couple of grand lost, if that. So I want to make it into a bit of a basher, I am surprised at how tough the bumper mounts are, and loving the fact that with one mate we can pick the fucker up and move it.

I haven't bought a new set of swampers for *ahem* 8 years... but our guys have gone through Exclusive Tyre Distributors in QLD (they're the cooper/Micky Thompson people), they have a distributor in Melbourne they freight to.Dexter wrote:Gwagensteve - Where do you get you Superswampers from?
Otherwise, Pete Antunac now gets very good swamper pricing.

Yes I have been a little lazy with posting up pics, but I did start some work on getting her towards RWC, a cracked wiper bottle was quickly fixed with some silicon and gaff tape. Still got to do something about the leaking fuel line, the previous owner must have been getting hidious mileage due to it, a good drip every two seconds or so, but only when the engine was running. Will post pics of the Brown Bandit tonight if I get some light.
anyone know the stud pattern on the lada? and what it matches....
i could measure mine, but still wouldnt know what it would match lol
cheers, andrew
