Stretching far and wide below the DubTechnik tent, its shaved Ingo Noak widebody '01 GTI VR6 sported a Jetta front end, wider flares, Kerscher rear bumper, cup mirrors and a custom hood. More than a pretty face, the car was blessed with Recaro seats, roll cage, custom dual exhaust and staggered 19" BBR Braids with 11s in the rear.
Continuing the trend of show-stoppers, Sal Reynosa's clean '02 Audi TT dropped on staggered 19" Work Meister F1s flaunted a Caractere grille, front bumper and skirts, a Mattig rear bumper and Uberhus double wings. Accompanying the fine exterior, his TT had an ICE heart of gold orchestrated by an Alpine head unit. Focal components hit the high notes and a pair of 12" carbon fiber Alpine Type-S subs powered by Hifonics amplifiers added the beat.
Like discovering an unfound oil well, William Stedman's immaculate '82 Audi Turbo quattro two-door coupe was a diamond in the rough. As if finding a clean right-hand drive Audi quattro wasn't special enough, Stedman's coupe was force-fed to the tune of 35psi by a massive GT3071 turbo. Beneath the hood, the blood-red bay played home to the alcohol-injected low compression mill just eager for some high-boost pulls.
After a weekend of heat-filled fun, Dubwars was again a success. Yet, despite a strong showing of both tuners and cars, George hopes to strengthen next year's show by adding lifestyle events and possibly drag racing in addition to changing the model search into something slightly less revealing.
"I really wasn't too happy with the model search," George said. "It was more like a strip show, next year we want to incorporate more of an enthusiast's angle to it."
Topless or not, we look forward to next year's events and can only apologize for not snapping some race pictures as the show's size and unrelenting heat prevented us from making it trackside with cameras. Count on it next year.
