July '08 Featured AZ'er: ultimatetaba8's 2007 A3 Sportback
July 3, 2008 - By Audizine Staff
Just noticed something. It looks like we have a theme going with our recent Featured AZ'ers, a very patriotic theme. Nearly the last half dozen cars have been either red, white, or blue. Fitting for this month I suppose, if you're an American. But I digress. One thing these cars certainly do have in common, aside from the four-ringed logo, is that they all stand out in a crowd. This month's featured ride especially, as there just aren't a ton of A3s out there. When one's done well (and Jason's ride is done very, very well) it draws some attention.
Jason, who goes by the username ultimatetaba8 here on The Zine, has created one good looking hatchback. With a definite OEM+ style of modding, he's taken his A3 to a whole other level. The parts have been carefully selected to add just the right look to the areas that were sort of lacking a bit from factory. Yet the best part is that a lot of the new pieces were actually from the factory at some point; on some car, in some part of the world. From the front lip off a Seat Cupra R and the blacked-out grille treatment, to the brushed aluminum trim and ashtray delete on the interior, it all just fits perfect and looks great! That's the beauty of using OEM parts, especially when used properly.
Aside from the factory-spec mods though, a number of other very tasteful aftermarket parts can be found on the car as well. One may notice the quite aggressive stance obtained from the Koni Coilovers, bringing those sexy 19 inch anthracite BBS CK wheels oh so close to the smoldering red fenders of the A3. For pumping up the ponies, Jason turned to the fellas at Neuspeed for their P-Chip ECU tuning and a P-Flo intake. These are just some of the highlights on what's an already stunning car. With such a wonderfully supportive Audi-loving family, we're assured that there's a lot more in store for Jason's A3. Shoot, from the sounds of it, we may also be featuring his dad's A4 on here sometime soon! More
