Remove those roof racks if you rarely use them.

I've been thinking about it, but i'm still pondering as I don't know what kind of holes they're gonna leave. I also carried a small platform in the trunk so I could stand on the roof if I wanted

I'll start with a lower dam and grille first.

the engine occasionally misses a spark/ticks a itty bit if I use 91 AKI (95 RON gas) with 10% Ethanol. But there is no problem when I use 94 AKI (98 RON octane)

Weird. The posted minimum octane rating for fuel injected Vaz/Ladas is 91AKI/95RON.

And the compression rate is 9.8:1

I have CAI too, so it can't be that either.

A friend's buddy was probably interested in my War wagon.

If it sells, I buy a My 2000 EFI Lada Samara I've laid my eyes on

The car's still alive. Now I've driven it for 16k miles in my possession and spent 400 bucks on service and repairs :grin:

The reason I've not been so active on this forum is because of my blasphemous in-economic driving.

Now when my money situation has again worsened, it is evidently clear that I need this forum's info and tricks.
