2010 Port Townsend Cruise a BIG success!

Written by Dion on March 8, 2010 – 4:03 pm -

A little over 450 cars were counted at Griot’s Garage just before 10am Sunday morning with more lined up waiting to park.   A few hours later, well over 400 cars were parked inside Port Townsend’s Memorial Field.   It was a tremendous turn-out and we could not be happier with the results.
Thank you all for coming together and contributing over 1600 lbs. of food and $200 cash for Northwest Harvest!  Glad to hear many of you had fun and we look forward to continuing this event in the future!

Cruise for NW Harvest – Saturday, November 14th

Written by Dion on November 4, 2009 – 12:06 pm -

Local VW/Audi club BPCDubs has announced their first annual Pt. Defiance Cruise on Saturday, November 14th 2009. The cruise is being held to benefit NW Harvest and is the second BPCDubs event this year geared towards “giving back” to the Pacific Northwest community. Achtuning is proud to be given an opportunity to participate with BPC and their efforts to collect non-perishable food items for NW Harvest – a NW Harvest collection box will be left in our showroom through the month of November. If you can’t make the cruise, know you can still give back by dropping your items off at Achtuning during business hours, Monday through Friday from 9am to 6pm.

If you don’t have plans already, come join us and BPCDubs on Saturday November 14th and enjoy a leisurely cruise down 509-S to Pt. Defiance, all while giving back to our community!

ACNW

*** Deadline for registration is tonight, November 2nd at midnight!  Register online at MotorSportReg.com.

It’s that time of year again and the ACNW is hosting this years annual Quattrofest High Performance Driving Event at Portland International Raceway on November 7th and 8th.

This is the most enjoyable way to increase both the performance of your car and your own safety while driving.  Quattrofest is 2 days and 2 nights of intensive instruction coupled with hands on activities, all within the controlled environment of one of the best facilities in motor sports.

Want to know how to control your vehicle when things go wrong?  They can teach you the skills that might just get you out of what you thought was an impossible situation.

Have you spent big money on mods for your car? Now you can learn how to really make the most important component of your car better. You might be surprised that the least expensive mod also happens to be the one that improves your car’s performance the most.

Do you want to know the best part of all?IT IS A BLAST! That’s right, this school is all about fun AND learning. We challenge you to leave the event without a perma-smile plastered to your face. You will remember this every time you turn the key.

Longest Parade of Audis attempted

Written by Dion on August 12, 2009 – 10:09 am -

A couple of weekends ago, local Audi club NWQuattro and Griot’s Garage attempted to organize the longest parade of Audi vehicles in an attempt to break a Guinness Book of World Record. While no record was broken that weekend, it’s not often you get to see as many Audis in one parking lot and participants had a lot of fun. No official count was provided but we hear it was over 100 cars.

Griot’s Garage graciously invited us to set-up shop in their parking lot and we are thankful they allowed us to participate!  Also thanks to Brian for sharing pictures of our set-up with us.

WaterWërks 2009 a success!

Written by Dion on July 22, 2009 – 12:46 pm -

WaterWërks 2009 was a blast! As one of the major sponsors of this year’s event held at Cheney Stadium in Tacoma, we had a very successful show. Achtuning tee-shirts and folding chairs were a hit and we had several people take advantage of show pricing on H&R spacers and coil-overs, APR software and Motor Sport products, and Hartmann Wheels.

We’re now settled back in our offices and shipping out orders received over the weekend. Stay tuned for yet another event in the near horizon where you can expect us to set up shop and offer some additional deals to enhance the performance of your VW or Audi.

A big “thank you!” goes out to the staff of WaterWërks 2009.

I ended up with a flag for each generation of GTI.

We also got the floor plan from the host, which is now completed with final banners and logos.

Not with the same cars, but it will look like this when everything is done & ready for the show.

After several days & nights of struggling, we were able to get all 5 GTI’s ready for the show.

Let’s all drive to the COEX at Samsung-dong, where the show is hosted.

APR crest on Chris’ GTI was not yet applied, so we had to work on the last minute.

No one has done such work, so we had to basically go at it & see what happens.

Luckily, we had some talented guys with us, so it worked out.

The show begins… and we got the pass.

Booth is better than I expected, thanks to so many friends who helped.

Back of the booth, picture courtesy of arin @ APR.

Mk5 GTI 2.0T, owned by Chris Park @ VAG. APR Stage2+ HPFP and full of OSIR CF parts.

Mk4 GTI 1.8T AGU engine with Ruddel chip, OZ wheels, Brembo brake, Recaro seat, etc..

Mk3 GTI VR6, owned by my brother, car was being sold during the show.

Mk2 GTI 16v 4door from Europe, with full Reiger body kit

My Mk1 replacement, Mk2 shell with Mk3 power train with single round headlight

And they are finally at the booth together.

At the display, we had several APR products, including S3 ED30 K04 kit that pushes GTI to 320hp.

I also had array of Haldex products at the booth.

Thanks to Billy @ Norpac, I had key badges for sale (but sale was low).

Modified version of Achtuning T shirts.

Me & Jeffrey at the booth.

To be continued…
