Talking Lada practice car

Since I'm still underaged to own a driver's license ( currently working on it ), I have this to practice my driving skills with, had it about for two years now

The engine is a Vaz(domestic name for Lada) 2106, 1.6 liter sohc, with a carburator
I haven't done much to it performance wise, only the following:
Denso iridium power sparkplugs
Welded differential
replaced worn off parts with new ones
adjustable cam gear
home-cut tires ( this is more of a rally car than a drifting car )
improved cooling system

But I have done quite a lot of work to make the inside of the car look nice, the exterior is whole different story..















I was actually going to make it look nice but since after I let a few friends to drive it, fohget about it

I'm 17 and thanks for the comments, I didn't expect them to be so warm, few more pics





I am located in Estonia, eastern-europe, lada's are as common as dirt here

Opps! Sorry guys, I meant it's SOHC, not DOHC, so sorry >_<



I use this helmet nowdays, the other one is by Meno.

Oh, I also made a hydraulic handbrake for this, you can't tell very well from pics but it's next to the driver's seat, next on the list for winter season is a bigger radiator and floor pedals b(^_^)d

I don't think there's much need for more power, I'd like some stiffer front springs tho, It's quite understeery but I can cope with it.

Im 189/6"2 if you care
