That is all…



“Bill’s Excellent Adventures” - Frankfurt and Automechanika content within!

18 09 2008

A “Hello” from Bill while he’s attending the Automechanika Auto Show in Frankfurt, Germany. He has been sending us pictures of some of the things that have caught his eye and we’re happy to share them with you.

(Click on thumbnails for larger image)


Some pretty cool stuff! Very happy to see a couple of different VW Scirocco color options. The Audi Q5 and A3 Cabrio are good-lookers and that DTM B8 Audi A4 is just ridiculous! Bill has also stopped by the Oettinger Headquarters to capture pictures of several of their project cars and latest offerings.

As we see more pictures get added to Bill’s gallery, we’ll be happy to share them here with you.



Stopping power with StopTech

8 08 2008

Dave Meister stopped by to grab some raffle items we are giving away for the 2008 WaterWërks event so I snapped a couple of pictures since he recently installed our 328×28mm StopTech Big Brake Kit for the Mk4s.

StopTech’s Mk4 BBK includes 2 piece floating directional 328mm x 28mm slotted rotors with 7075 T6 billet aluminum hats, 4 piston ST-40 calipers, stainless steel front brake lines and AXXIS Ultimate front brake pads.

Stoptech Big Brake Kits give your vehicle that Supercar look and feel, and exceed stock performance in two areas. First, larger rotors increase heat capacity. Second, stiffer calipers and stainless steel lines reduce system compliance.

The key, however, is to increase heat capacity and reduce compliance without upsetting the stock front to rear brake torque ratio. If the brake upgrade you select adds too much front torque (as many do), you reduce your car’s ability to utilize the tractive capacity of all of the tires to the maximum practical extent (even on ABS equipped cars) and you therefore create performance sacrifices. In addition, too many pistons or pistons that are too large will make the brake pedal much more difficult to modulate, which limits a driver’s control of brake input on the race track. This StopTech kit is a perfect balanced brake upgrade for the Mk4.

We’ve got a few of these kits left on the shelf for those who want to get in on the sweet deal - $1495!! :eek:

Oettinger valence dual cut-out solution: APR Quad-Tipped!!

18 03 2008

We commissioned APR to make a dual exhaust solution for the Oettinger equipped VW Mk5 GTI. One of the rear valence options is the dual-exhaust version and up until now, there was not a simple solution to fill these two exhaust cut-outs. 

We are very pleased with fitment.  The exhaust install was very simple and everything lined up exactly where and how it should.  The staggered tip design even is a great touch and matches the curved contour of the Oettinger rear valence.
