Whizbang18T is April 2008's Featured AZ'er!
April 2, 2008 - By Audizine Staff
Everything's bigger in Texas, or so they say. Well that's just a load of crap. April's Featured AZ'er is from Texas, and he just happens to own not only one of the nicest Audis we've seen but also one of the smallest. Luis (also known as whizbang18T) is the proud owner of an Ocean Blue 2006 A3 2.0T, which in fact is also the very first A3 we've chosen to do a feature article on. Well OK, maybe the saying's partly true, because he did go big when it came to modifying this small car.
So let's see now, what do we mean by big? Well first off, the wheels, those certainly aren't stock. The Makaveli Berzinni's on this car are actually three inches larger than the stockers. For those doing the math, yes, those suckers are 20 inches large! Behind that, Luis was able to get an ECS/Brembo Stage 5 brake kit installed. We then have a near full Rieger Tuning body kit, no mistaking that mod either. It includes a front lip, a splitter below that, and sideskirts. Finishing it off at the rear is an Oettinger lower valence, as Luis preferred the lines of this piece a bit better. We'd have to say, they do look good together.
Like many A3 owners, Luis came from the world of V-Dub. Having owned - and of course modified - a Volkswagen MkIV Jetta previously, he wasn't afraid to make this car his own. He wanted the comfortable yet sporty feel of a German car, but one which had that something extra to help set him apart from the pack. With the numerous modifications made to the exterior, interior, and under the hood, it's safe to say that Luis has achieved that. Because of the time, energy, and passion put into this car, we are happy to feature this big little A3 for the month of April 2008. Full Story
