Tyler's S4

Yesterday night I went out to shoot Tyler's S4. Despite it being in the mid 30s and my camera not wanting to cooperate because of the cold we still managed to grab some shots of this sick car. Tyler's S4 is sitting at a functional height with great fitment, which he needs to put down those 400 or so horses to all four tires.

Interested now? This S4 doesn't only look pretty it also gets down. Power is provided by two K04 turbos and a custom map on 22psi. Plenty of get up and go for this "family sedan." Meanwhile H&R coils keep it down on the ground while Miro 111s sit in the wheel arches.

The interior is kept relatively stock, with the addition of a head unit and a boost gauge in place of an air vent, just enough to let the driver know what is happening but without cluttering the already well-designed interior.

Tyler has plenty of future plans for this, which include a retune for some more power and possibly a new transmission to handle all of that. For now, the car looks great and performs just as well. We look forward to what the future holds for this sleeper sedan.

Andrew's 2003 Wolfsburg Jetta

Today I had the pleasure of meeting up with Andrew to shoot his 2003 Jetta GLI Wolfsburg.

Unlike most VWs that you see this one is not on air, it does not have crazy wide wheels with stretched tires, Andrew decided to go a different route. This Jetta is...functional.

Andrew owns his own shop in Riverside CA; BBA Motorsports. As a result he is able to fabricate all kinds of one off parts for his car that allow him to squeeze every last bit of horsepower out of his stock K03S, along with desiging and implimenting a suspension and wheel/tire setup that ensures that this Jetta can hurt feelings on any track.
His mods include:
2003 vw jetta 1.8t 5-speed Wolfsburg edition,
-stage 1 united motorsports tune,
-stage 1 clutch
-bilsten pss9 coil overs
-forge turbo inlet pipe
-bba motorsports 3inch turbo back exhaust
-Intake
-Bba Motorsports pancake replacement pipe
-gti front end swap
-brembo rotors and pads
-front and rear eibach sway bars
-18x7.5 Dtek S5 with 225/40 Federal RSR track tires

While this may seem like a pretty simple mods list every single one of these parts has been hand selected to compliment each other and to withstand the abuse that a car sees on the track. Making around 225whp and 245wtq and putting every one of those ponies to the ground through his super sticky Federal RSRs Andrew has just the right amount of power to roll out on most cars, while not overpowering the limits of the chassis.

Andrew's car is awesome for a couple reasons, but mostly because its different. Its not slammed to the floor and barely driven, this is his daily, and it sees the track, when I say this car is driven...its really driven. This coupled with the fact that Andrew knows this platform inside and out, and has made so many one off parts for it at BBA Motorsports makes this one build that you're definitely going to want to keep your eye on.


 Some words from Andrew:
Thank you to my friends and family for the support, couldn't be where I am at today doing what I am doing now.
