SUMMERFEST 2016 | 034MOTORSPORT OPEN HOUSE, DYNO DAY, BBQ, & NORCAL AUDI CLUB MEET

This July marked the 8th Annual Summerfest at 034Motorsport’s performance facility in Fremont, CA. Hosted in conjunction with NorCal Audi Club, this year’s attendance was at an all time high bringing in a wide variety of Audis and Volkswagens from around the greater Bay Area. Activities included a constant stream of dyno runs all day long, facility tours for a look behind the scenes, and free burgers and dogs barbecued on-site by the President of 034Motorsport himself.

The selection of attendee’s cars this year included a range from vintage air-cooled Beetles to brand new Audi R8 supercars, and everything in between. If you’re a gearhead, there was undoubtedly a car present to pique your interest.

Nate’s B8 Audi S4 was displayed on the new, in-ground Hunter alignment rack in the 034Motorsport Service Department featuring an array of B8 products including our Adjustable Solid Rear Sway Bar, Spherical Rear Sway Bar End Links, Rear Differential Carrier Mount Inserts, Rear Differential Mount Inserts, Transmission Mount Insert, and Billet Aluminum X-Brace. Those who looked closely may have also spied some new products in development on his car!

While the dyno runs started early and continued all day, the barbecues weren’t too far behind. As soon as the charcoal-burning smell began filling the air, people were quick to follow their noses toward the free hamburgers, hot dogs, and ice-cold beverages.

Perhaps it’s no secret anymore, but the President and Founder of 034Motorsport, Javad Shadzi, is quite the barbecue aficionado too. He was generous enough to brave the heat and smoke of two Weber grills most of the day to ensure that every attendee left full and satisfied.

Songpol’s C7 Audi RS7 was definitely one of the crowd favorites on the dyno that day. His tuned 4.0T managed to put down 491 WHP and 467 WTQ on our in-house Mustang AWD Dyno, while creating a beautiful yet guttural roar at the same time.

B8 Audi Q5 Research and Development in Fremont, CA at 034Motorsport

Our Engineering Department displayed their 3D scanning abilities featuring the intake on Max’s B8 Q5 2.0T. Alongside the display were some 3D-printed prototype parts from the past, including the first MQB X34 Intakemade in-house.

Facility tours were provided to guests, allowing a special look into where our products are proudly machined, assembled, packaged, and shipped worldwide. Some of the components on display included B5/B6/B7 Upper Adjustable Control Arms, B5 S4 2.7T Lighweight Aluminum Flywheel, B8 2.0 TFSI Billet Catch Can Kit, X34 Carbon Fiber MQB Cold Air Intake, MkV/MkVI Billet Aluminum Dogbone Mount Insert, and 8J Audi TTRS Motorsport Motor Mounts.

Fremont, CA Audi Volkswagen Meet and Greet Open House

The Service Department was bustling all day as guests looked over many different engine bays on display. Nate’s A3 3.2L VR6T powerhouse seemed to fit in around the 07K Turbo Rabbit and 3.0L B5 S4 with Tial 605R turbos.

Volkswagen GTI Generations Including MkIII, MkVI, MkVII

Even a real Harlequin made an appearance, sporting a not-so-factory turbocharged VR6 under its hood!

A couple Imola Yellow B5 S4 Avants reunited in the parking lot as well, bringing together rare Audis and Volkswagens from around the region.

Ultraviolet Porsche 991 GT3RS

Hundreds of local Audi and Volkswagen enthusiasts gathered to share their passion for German cars and revel in the camaraderie. More BBQ was consumed than thought possible. More cars were strapped to the Mustang dyno in search of finding the highest number possible. Overall, Summerfest 2016 was a great success, and it wouldn’t have been possible without such awesome attendees. We would like to thank you, (yes, you), for your continuous support of 034Motorsport and making our events so special. We hope to see you out at local events and get-togethers in the future!

Watch: The Story of the Ads that Made VW Big in America

The ads for the original Beetle are almost as famous and well-loved as the Beetle itself. Looking back now it’s easy to forget, though, just how easily things could have wrong. A new short from Dial M Films tracks the history of those early Volkswagen ads that sold America on the people’s car. The story, of course, begins with the visionary agency that made the ads: Doyle Dane Bernach (DDB). As a popular agency for Jewish products, no agency was more aware of the implications of Volkswagen, and no one, it seems, was more skeptical of the brand than DDB. “Remember Those Great Volkswagen Ads?” from Dial M Films on Vimeo . William Bernbach, though, was adament that the firm take the client, probably as a way of attracting other lucrative automotive clients. Saddled with a client that he didn’t want, art director Helmut Krone says in the film that he originally came up with ads that were all wrong. Krone tried to do what other manufacturers did and was intent on selling the Beetle ...

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...
