added air of menace, he fitted on a blacked out
honeycomb grille and Audi logos, along with Vertini
Magic 19-inch wheels for that deep concave look.
Then it was time for a colour upgrade, a friend
with a sticker shop stepped in with a day’s job for
his frozen blue body wrap, along with a distinctive
“dragon fish” emblem to the rear, which signified his
long history with the Japanese cars.
By far the most striking part of this car externally
would be its hood, complete with vents and bonnet
catches. WX explained that this was more in line
with Japanese modified car practice, and another
example of how he differed from his fellow car
enthusiast friends, who keep their hoods stock or at
most, fit those with subtle bulges.
As for the engine, on top of the MTM stage 1
engine tune fitted, he went ahead to installed a
blow-off valve and a K&N air intake, which were
essential to accentuate the fine sounds produced
by the engine and the Jetex exhaust system. In
his words “the Audi’s quiet cabin means you can
choose what you want to hear, and in this case, I
chose the sound made by the blow-off valve”.
