Hi, it's been a while.
I bought this car, a Vaz 2111, a basic-level station wagon.
Made in russia by AvtoVaz, a car for bad road conditions.
It's a 2003 year model, it's a very, VERY basic model.
No airbag(not even optional) no ABS, not even a radio (yet) but it has a standard OBD to pass E.U emissions requirement
It uses 33mpg @ 75mph, the aerodynamics is the reason here, as the engine's design was about 20 year old technology.
Spares cost next to nothing.
It has a 1,5 l 8-valve engine with 70Bhp, and the car weighs around 1020kilograms.
I am planning to mod a warm air intake, and maybe block the grille (easy job)
The positive thing is, that this car can handle ethanol to about 40% without any problems or mods
This car is also super-easy to fix, for example the Camshaft belt takes half an hour to change
We'll see what we get ouf of it.
Oh, and the engine's electronics is made by bosch.
