VAZ-2106
VAZ-2106 («Zhiguli 2106»/«Lada 1600») is a Soviet and Russian sky rear passenger car with a body type sedan, which is a reissued version of the VAZ-2103 and produced the Volga automobile plant since 1976. In 1998, the production was partially transferred to the company «RosLada» in Syzran, and in 2002 - the plant «IZH-Auto» in Izhevsk, where and continued until the withdrawal of the model from the conveyor in январе2006 year. One of the most mass and popular domestic cars.
History
Development of VAZ-2106 began specialists of the Center of the style of the Volga automobile plant in 1974 as «project 21031» (by analogy with only that developed in the production of VAZ-21011). The requirements of the technical specifications for the updated model 2103 was to reduce the use of expensive chrome-plated parts and to the modernization of lighting at minimum costs. The exterior of the car, designed in the spirit of the time with the use of black plastic, was created В.Антипиным, original tail lights - В.Степановым. Changes were made in front apron, the boot lid, bumpers, wheel covers, side direction indicators, ventilation grills, factory mark. Innovations in the interior touched upon the upholstery and door armrests; front seats were controlled by the height of head restraints. Controls complemented alarm, подрулевым switch windshield washer, rheostat lighting the instrument panel, as well as indicator of a low brake fluid level. Improved arrangements were equipped with a radio, heating the rear window and the red fog lamp, крепившимся under the rear bumper on the left or to the right (for export with copies).
For the car was prepared by the engine variant 2103, which has modelled on the modification of the 21011 cylinder diameter was increased from 76 to 79 mm, which allowed to reach the working volume of 1.57 l. New длинноходный motor pointed to 12 percent more torque than the basic (and at much lower speeds), however, its maximum power at current at the time of standards was only 78 HP instead of the estimated 80 in the limited features of the inlet system, which for the sake of harmonization with other family engines are left without changes. However, the transmission to the new engine yet adapted by first creating a special version of the gearbox, which reduced gear ratios on the first three levels and subsequently interlocking part of the car reducer of the main pair with gear ratio reduced to 3.9. New power unit with minimal changes was used for cooking in the production model VAZ-2121 «Niva».Like a VAZ-2103, the novelty of it was planned to accompany the two less powerful modifications; for the body already has traditionally provided for the possibility of execution with the right steering wheel. It is also worth noting that, as in the case of the VAZ-21011, for marketing reasons of the emergence of a modernized version of the model 2103 does not at all mean the immediate withdrawal from the production of its predecessor. In the light of these circumstances, the original designation of the updated car as 21031, despite its undeniable logic, it looks not very promising for future use and was replaced by the 2106. «Freed» the same index 21031 was used to indicate «this» modification 2103, complete with a new engine (also temporarily обозначавшимся as «VAZ-21031») and released for the sake of getting consumer reviews about it a very small party (150-200 PCs.) in the summer of 1975. The distinctive feature of these machines was the red or yellow coloration of the cylinder engine depending on the version of the gearbox (respectively, from the previous close gear ratios or with adapted).
The first car of VAZ-2106 was assembled at the main Assembly line in December 1975, and mass production of new items began on the third line from the 21st of February, 1976. 28 December of the same year, a copy of this model was three million vehicle, issued by Volzhsky automobile plant, and on June 3, 1978. - четырехмиллионным. on may 17, 1979, one of the VAZ-2106, sent to Czechoslovakia, became a million Soviet car, put in COMECON countries.
During the production of the car have been repeatedly introduced minor changes. Since 1980, all of the «Zhiguli» began to be equipped with the carburetor «Ozone» instead of the former «Weber». After the production of the model 2103 on the «sixes» for several years, partly replaced by the set of moldings: belt elements were supplied to end locks, instead of chrome lower moldings appeared black plastic, was excluded from the design fringing wheel arches. Incidentally disappeared red cat's eyes in the rear wings, the background of the factory mark instead of cherry is black, was abolished chrome rims side direction indicators, were installed rear ventilation grilles of VAZ-2105. In 1986. VAZ-2106 got rear brakes from 2105, and in another year and a gearbox from the same model. Some simplification has undergone the scheme of electric equipment: since 1987, built into the sides of the front doors of the red lights were replaced by cataphotes, and in 1993, was excluded from the scheme relay flashing the Parking brake. By the end of the 80-ies have ceased to be installed hubcaps wheel and fender visors between body and bumpers, from the interior of the gradually disappeared simulate under the «chrome» and «tree», came to naught different color variations upholstery. In the beginning of 90-s was abolished chrome gutters, a little later for the sake of further reduce the cost of a model of the plant even tried to refuse side moldings (such cars were people in the name of «naked»), however, this «innovation» was met very disapprovingly, and was quickly cancelled. In the second half of the 90-s were installed inertia seat belts, steering wheel from later versions of the family 2105, staff fog lamp and optional front power Windows. Copies of the last years of lost хромировку rims rear lights, very often do not хромировалась and radiator grille. «Izhevsk» machines equipped with the front seats from the «IZH-2126» («ODA»).«Six» for quite a long time (from 1976 to 1982.) remained the most prestigious model in the scale of «Zhiguli», earning the reputation of the car increased comfort and reliability. Obviously, these consumer properties of the models, coupled with its gradually growing price availability and became the guarantee of the fact that since the late 80's and up to the beginning of the 2000s, it enjoyed a stable demand among the poorer segments of the population even in spite of its apparent устарелость and ухудшавшееся from year to year the quality of components and Assembly.

VAZ-21060 - Izhevsk version of the last years of the issue with the engine VAZ-21067, different from the basic availability of the fuel injection system with a catalytic Converter, which ensured compliance with the toxicity of Euro-2.
VAZ-21061 - engine VAZ-2103. On the part of the cars for the domestic market has been simplified system of cooling of the engine no electric, and the impeller installed directly on the end of the shaft of the pump coolant. In the post-Soviet years it was factory equipment cars of VAZ-2105. Export copies of different improved finishing and small changes in the scheme of electric equipment, a part of these machines was made of modified cars of VAZ-2121 with built-in подфарниками, some cars were equipped with wipers and washers external beam. Shipped in Canada.

VAZ-21063 - engine VAZ-21011 improved integration, with a sensor of oil pressure and with электровентилятором instead of the belt impeller (in an alternate version allowed the drive belt). This modification, выпускавшаяся until 1994, was equipped with, unlike the other, the system of exhaust gases with one resonator instead of two. Cars the later years of the issue could be equipped with the bumpers on the model 2105.
