So they say size doesn't matter. Now I'm not quite sure who "they" are, but in this case it may be true. It doesn't matter that the TT scene is one of the smaller ones within the Audi enthusiast community. It doesn't matter that the TT is one of the smallest cars that Audi sells. No, what matters in this case is that this particular TT is done right. It is modified to one's own personal taste to stand apart from all others. This month's Featured AZ'er is a longtime enthusiast and an active member within the scene. He goes by the username EvotechTT, but his real name is Sal. He's the owner of one beefy TT. Wait, is that an oxymoron? No, that's a type of t-shirt...wait, no. Anyway, maybe size really does matter after all. Sal's taken a normal old TT, enhanced it, and here we are today - a Featured AZ'er.
There's not much on this car that hasn't been touched, to either make it look tougher, go faster, or stop harder. There are also those mods that do double-duty, that both improve upon function and just happen to make the car look good while doing it. For instance, the Sparco Torino Race Seats and the H&R coilover suspension. Then there's the plain old looking-good-mods. At the front you may notice the bumper isn't stock. No, it's by Caractere, along with the front grille and sideskirts. There are also rear upper and lower spoilers by Uberhause and the back bumper is by Mattig. This is where the tips from the custom exhaust by Fast Intentions poke out through. The wheels are by Work. They're called Meisters, and they too are beefy. They're 19 by 8.5 inches up front and 19 by 9.5 inches out back! Behind those are more beef. We're talking big old slabs of blood-red StopTech sirloin.
Sal didn't just set this car up to go like heck and corner on a dime, but he's out to win shows as well. This becomes apparent when the hood is popped and the back hatch is raised. Up front is a custom created, expertly painted, immaculately clean engine bay. Out back is a high-fi wonderland of amps, subs, and capacitors, which are all awash in a bath of blue light. In talking with Sal it's evident that he is very happy with the results he's gotten for his time and money. He's created a one-of-a-kind car which stands out enough to catch even the eye of someone that may normally overlook your average stock TT. Perhaps it's that extra bit of beef that the original TT has always kind of needed. Unless of course you're a vegetarian. More
