Stepping on Up - Brians Mk4 Wolfsburg Jetta

The mk4 scene has a wide variety of styles and projects. each car and their owner decides which direction they want to go, either mild or wild.

Brian Billings chose the subtle OEM+ route while focusing on the details as he takes a bone stock Wolfsburg into his goal of his dream daily driver.. all on a budget.

Although the car appears to be on air suspension, it is in fact static and Brian drives this everyday.

 The car looks primarily stock on the exterior, but Brian is not focused on the looks of his car as much as the performance of the car. He has done a lot of work into tweaking the performance of the factory parts and engines internals. 

Right away Brian looked to improve the airflow of the car, both in and out of the engine, He put a full 3 inch turboback exhaust with a test pipe along with upgraded turbo piping that is connected to his aftermarket side mount intercooler. 

Brian explained that he did not want to do a traditional front mount intercooler like the majority of owners because he enjoys to keep the sleeper aspect of his car, he told me enjoys lining up against owners of Subaru WRX's and other fast cars and surprising them with what his little "Girls car" jetta can really do. 

Brian is planning on lowering the car even more for next years season, he is planning to install IDF drop plate in the
 rear to add some camber for the rear
tires to clear the fenders. He is also
 planning on removing the helper springs in his goal to get the car as low as possible without switching to air-ride suspension.

This car isn't for looks though, Brian is also Going to be upgrading his turbo to a bigger one with more work to the ECU for the engine to create much more power and max out what is possible on the engines stock internal parts

DCI Toys 4 Tots Charity Event: FDR Park Philadelphia, Pa 

This years Toys for Tots event presented by DCI and the National Guard was a great success with the amount of cars in attendance and in donations.A total of 893 toys were donated, $182 was donated to the skate park  and $150 was donated to the marines from cupcake sales. Although it was mainly created for Volkswagens and Audi, every type of car enthusiasts was invited for the good cause.

from beat up 90's hatchbacks to $100,000 plus supercars,every car is appreciated and supported the event

Although my Gli had major body damage from an accident a week prior, I managed to get it down to the event and get a decent photo of it while hiding the front end damage

Here Is Kevin Cassavaugh's New Mk3 Gti Vr6, helping represent Sixonelow along with a couple few cars and myself.

This Blue Lagoon GLI was real head turner with the crazy stance and that custom European sized Pa plate

I spoke with the owner and he told me he just got the new wheels in the mail only 2 days before the event and plans to get the front even lower over the winter to get it to match the height of the rear of the car

The event was a huge success and the day had great weather, great cars, good times, and a overall laid back meet up to talk about cars and end the 2012 show season on a good note

Even this very cool slammed Subaru Forester showed up for the event,
Talk about not your usual soccer mom!

Im looking forward to next years Toys for Tots event here, hopefully with my gli in alot better shape for showing and a bigger following for Sixonelow and able to give out free stickers and selling t-shirts to get the word out for the Lehigh valley's newest car enthusiast's site
