привет чуваки! This time I decided to create a replica of my very first car. The car I will never be able to forgive myself for selling it. It will always have a special place in my heart.
The Lada 2105 (also known as Lada Riva) was made in Togliatti, Russia, between 1980 and 2012(!). This model was extremely popular in the middle and eastern european block because it was comfortable and practical compared to other eastern-block cars, cheap to produce, easy to work on, and reliable in terms of the mechanical compartment (the same can't be told about the electrical system, and rust issues unfortunately..)
These cars had a soul of their own. These cars had character. These cars were exceptionally fun in the winter - rear-wheel drive, thin tyres, nose-heavy build. I could get on and on about the introduction, but maybe it would be a good idea to get to the point, I just can't help myself about my feelings for this car..
However, time to move on. This mod contains the following three models:
2105 1300 - Base model with an 1.3 I4, moderate power.
2105 1500 - The very car I owned.This model has the stronger 1.5 litre inline-4 SOHC engine, 5 comfy seats, 5 speed manual which was quite a rare sight back in the day. Zero electric assistance. Literally nothing. No ABS, no power steering, no airbags - We die like real Men!
Manual differential wasn't standard, it was added by me for extra possibilities.
2105 VFTS - The 2105 were very popular amongst rally/track drivers, mostly because of its low weight - it only needed its engine buffed up, and better suspension components, everything else is there.
Future plans:
-Original VFTS rally car
-visually&mechanically customized street model
