With all the exposure Aaron Ok was getting for his bagged and fitted VW Jetta Wolfsburg 1.8T, it was only a matter of time before wheelandtorque.com had the opportunity to make a killer video of the car. Mr. Ok has been one of my toughest clients thus far, but all the criticism was constructive and much appreciated.

We had an extremely rare opportunity to head to New York City and video the unveiling of the new 2011 Subaru STi before it’s public debut at the New York Auto Show. With a new color, a sedan option, and of course, the wing, what’s not to like?

You saw it first at wheelandtorque.com

With only weeks left in Israel, we teamed up with Adam and Effie of MyWay Drift Team to make this awesome short film.

What do you get when you combine a friend’s 650whp C63 AMG, two sets of tires, and insane drifting?….Pure awesomeness.

Here is an article written about the day (sorry its in Hebrew): motocar.co.il/​article/​12121.aspx

With SEMA quickly approaching, the Tjin Edition RoadShow team, led by Neil Tjin, received their brand new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS with less than 20 miles on the odometer. Having planned out the design well before the arrival, Neil and the team at Real AutoWorks in La Habra, CA got right to work and within a day had the LS3 motor pulled, the interior completely gutted and the rest of the car taken disassembled.

On the exterior, the Tjin Edition RoadShow Camaro SS features super slick, yet subtle modifications. The factory black paint has been replaced with a custom DuPont Cromax Pro two-tone green paint scheme; on the outside, the Camaro’s body has been sprayed in a custom metallic green, while the engine bay and body accents were sprayed in a darker matte green finish. To accentuate the exterior of the car, Revolution Styling supplied a front lip spoiler and vented hood, LightWurkz remodeled the Camaro’s headlights, taillights and fog lights with LED technology, and Ignited HID provided the lighting for the headlights and fog lights.

When the time came for the Tjin Edition RoadShow Camaro SS to be outfitted with its rollers, Neil and iForged worked together and created a one-off set of 22” and 24” iForged Seneka wheels finished with carbon fiber barrels, brushed faces and black bolts. The custom three-piece iForged wheels are matched up with an equally impressive set of Falken FK-452 tires measuring 255/30/22 up front and 275/25/24 in the rear to keep the Camaro on track when on the road. To keep the SS under control, SSBC designed a custom big brake kit especially for the build which included bright purple eight-piston calipers along with crossed-drilled and slotted rotors.

Although all of the above upgrades are key, the fully digital air system suspension provided by Air Lift helps to bring it all together. The digital set up will allow the Tjin Edition RoadShow Camaro SS to be lowered or raised with the simple push of a button all while maintaining it’s stellar handling capabilities. Finishing off the suspension and handling upgrades on the SS, PFADT Race Engineering stepped up and provided front and rear sport sway bars.

Real AutoWorks really showed off their creative skills with the transformation of the Camaro interior and in-car entertainment system. Real AutoWorks was responsible for rewrapping the entire Camaro interior in a custom t-tech and suede material, which features purple double stitching throughout to match the purple SSBC calipers. The stock Camaro seats and gauges were replaced in favor of carbon fiber Status Racing / Tjin Edition RoadShow racing seats and a plethora of GlowShift digital gauges. The Camaro’s in-car entertainment is highlighted by two 12” Realm Audio flat subwoofers, two amplifiers, two components sets, and a Azentek smart mirror which features a touch screen LCD monitor, built in Bluetooth, integrated GPS Navigation, and rear view camera. Real AutoWorks customized the trunk section with custom speaker boxes, an amp rack, NX carbon fiber bottle holder, and an enclosure for the Odyssey batteries and Air Lift tanks and compressors.

Finishing off the Tjin Edition RoadShow Camaro is an engine bay that will have people talking, thanks to the guys at Vortech and JE Pistons. Turnkey Engine Supply rebuilt the stock LS3 motor. The block was disassembled, deburred, honed to a 4.070″ finished bore size then finally cleaned for assembly. Turnkey then measured each component to verify the clearance was correct for a forced induction application. The engine was then assembled with a K1 Technologies 4.000″ stroke forged crankshaft, K1 Technologies 6.125″ H-beam billet rods,

JE Pistons forged “FSR” Pistons, 8.8:1 compression ratio, JE Pro Seal Rings: 1.2mm steel nitrided top rings, 1.5mm Napier second rings, 3.0mm low tension oil rings, ACL Main and Rod Bearings, ARP Head Studs and Turnkey Engine Supply Pushrods. Once the 415 cubic inch motor was reinstalled, all the fluids were topped off and Royal Purple XPR 5W-30 motor oil was poured into the motor. Next it was time to bolt on the Vortech supercharger, American Racing headers, MagnaFlow exhaust, BDL Automotive fuel rails, and Nitrous Express direct port set-up. Vortech not only provided the supercharger kit, but they were also responsible for the installation, tuning and calibration of the car. A S.P.E.C. twin-disk clutch was installed to go with the new power that can be found under the hood of this Camaro. Aesthetically the engine bay has been outfitted with BDL Automotive clamps, GM Addiction billet caps, and a Unique Auto Design carbon fiber fuse box cover and engine shroud.

Make sure to check out the Tjin Edition RoadShow Camaro at the SEMA Show from November 3rd to 6th in the main hall in the Air Lift booth (#23633) and if you can’t make it to SEMA this year, don’t worry as the Tjin Edition RoadShow Camaro will be on display around the country in 2010 as part of the Tjin Edition RoadShow.
