Also found the approximate values a engine should have, and converted it to BAR and made a note that i taped into the instrument cluster, under the temp gauge as a cheat sheet.

(research on DWL underway)

I should wire up the vacuum meter's light to the cluster, but I am too lazy to wire it (yet)


The attachment here is a aero thingy I made with the forum's tool. It's kinda nice.

The roof slopes backwards irl too, ending in a spoiler. I give a big thank to the engineers at AVTOVAZ for that aerodynamic feat.

When I matched the tires with the model picture's tires, I saw a lot of room for improvement in the front.

Ride height is not one of them, it's definitedly set in stone but aero hubcaps is something i'll get soon, Maybe in December.

(although I know i'd get a huge aero gain if I lowered the car but the roads are getting crappier here. it's a long-term thing)
