By the time you’ve found your way to this page, you’ve probably already noticed that this book contains its fair share of styleoriented content. We have once again combined a regular PASMAG issue - in this case, our annual Eurocentric magazine - with the annual Style Buyer’s Guide. This gave us the chance to explore some of the most stylishly assembled European car builds in the world, and they don’t skip out on performance quality, either!

Our feature vehicles in this issue are the cream of the crop, with the two main features being found on the SEMA floor last year. That widebody BMW 2002, owned by George Dalmakis, you see on the cover is more than meets the eye, as we soon found out upon closer inspection. Additionally, the PASMAG Editor’s #1 choice from the show finally gets its place in the pages of PAS: The Trick Factory Customs Mercedes-Benz 190 - a truly blasphemous modern tribute to its DTM heritage.

U.S. POSTMASTER SEND ADDRESS CORRECTIONS TO Performance Auto & Sound, Box 1082, Niagara Falls, NY, 14304. Occasionally, we make our subscriber list available

We also included a whole bunch of Builds to Follow based on European platforms: • Diego Berrios - 2001 Porsche Carrera • Dominick Barger - 2006 Volkswagen GTI • Nick Cosentino - 2012 Audi TT RS • Shaun Graham - 1995 BMW 325i • Tyler Barrow - 2012 Volkwagen Golf R • Vasily Mishukov - 2009 Audi A4 Avant As well as the usual sprinkling of regular PAS content such as Hot New Products and some recent #TBGLIVE winners: • Galileo Galang - 1994 Honda Civic • Clifford Joe - 2008 Porsche Cayman • Reece Reynolds - 1967 VW Beetle Since this is also a Style guide, we went ahead and found more than 100 of the latest and greatest products available today to improve your vehicle’s style, so be sure to take notes!

As always, thanks for picking up PASMAG. We hope we can help you get your car ready to dominate the show circuit, or even just to achieve the look you’ve been dreaming of.

UNITRONIC Tiguan Gen2 Tunes GetUnitronic.com

Unitronic now offers OBD-II Port compatible tunes for the new Tiguan equipped with the 2.0TSI MQB GEN3-B engine!

GLOBAL TIME ATTACK ROAD ATLANTA. BRASELTON, GA

JULY 3-4, 2020 STORY BY CUBAN RODRIGUEZ // PHOTOGRAPHY BY AMANDA DIENHART ›

@snapsstudio

EVENT

Global Time Attack kept its tradition of going to Road Atlanta every year since its Inception! Unfortunately this year it was without Formula Drift, and during a major pandemic sweeping the world.

What can we say about the 4th of July weekend in Braselton, Georgia, except for the fact it’s incredibly hot?

Everywhere you look in the paddock are teams socially distancing and keeping their masks on. People were excited because even though FD did not get to run, they still ran the Time Attack event at Road Atlanta with even more track time than usual.

A drivers meeting happens after all the cars have been inspected by the tech stewards, and there is a lifting of peoples shoulders. This is only the second time we have been allowed to go racing since this pandemic started, and it was all surreal until this exact moment! Everyone did a great job of staying socially distant from each other and getting the vital information needed before the track went hot for the day.

Session one went live, started out

by Group 5, and immediately there was a Focus ST that had caught everyone’s attention. Apparently there were a group of people who drove from

PASMAG

Florida to Georgia to run this event with us. Driving that Focus ST was Michael Whitehead in the Enthusiast Class. He went out there to get his feet wet, fell in love, and almost won the class overall! He and Jonathan Wheeler traded fastest laps in the enthusiast session for session until the last session of the weekend where Jonathan ended up winning the class!

Day one went late into the evening - 8 PM to be exact, which was a first for us at GTA. It was amazing running the track during the time normally given to Formula Drift, and we saw times drop during these sessions more and more, so we hope in the future we are able to share the track with FD to be able to do this more often.

Street class was the class everybody was watching. Jackie Ding was the favorite to win street class this year, but there was a large contingency of people who believed Amir could come after his victory at GTA The Ridge Motorsports Park, and best Jackie and his TA90 v.2. Sally Mcnulty was there with Markos Mylonas to try and get in on this fight, and we thought we would have a serious 3-way battle for street overall! Turns out we were 2/3 right,

@GLOBALTIMEATTACK

with Jackie Ding resetting the overall street record twice at this event, and taking first place with a 1:27.923, and Amir also resetting the original record held by Markos with a 1:29.179 being his first time ever driving Road Atlanta.

3rd place though was taken by Ryan Matthews in his C5 Z06 Corvette.

Unfortunately for Sally and Markos, an untimely engine failure cut their efforts short.

Limited class was the fastest class of the event this year at Road Atlanta,

and usually brings some really hot shoes. First time runner with GTA was Eric Flemming in his freshly built C6 Z06 Time Attack machine. This is a 7.7L monster with a Samsonas Sequential, and his first time on our spec Yokohama A052 Tires.

By the end of this event he had reset the Limited overall record down to a 1:25.868. His car had more in it, and we all know it, but he felt that was a great time and wanted to put her to rest. Following him was Jason Guzman in his GT-R and Jason Owens in his Honda Civic Type R. Unlimited class brought back some regulars to GTA Road Atlanta. By far one of the best sounding cars of the weekend, and the one the live stream begged to have some in-car footage of was Derek Boyd’s Mitsubishi Evo X. He won Unlimited with a time of 1:27.584 and we know this car has a lot left in it. He had a drama free weekend and was able to run lap after lap which is great to see for his team.

Alexander Gallardo took 2nd place, and Dan Kroll took 3rd place.

Overall this event was held flawlessly by the GTA staff and everyone at Road Atlanta, we were lucky to be able to have it and always will be grateful to all the competitors and staff.

Having previously built a show-stopping E30 M3 EVO with an S54 engine swap, George Dalmakis was no stranger to unorthodox BMW builds. With his E30 completed, it was only a matter of time before Dalmakis set his sights on his next project. After purchasing a 1973 BMW 2002 at the end of 2018, just days before the new year, he devised a plan for a new show piece: a classic BMW with a modern power plant. Sounds simple enough, right?

“S

imple” is not the first word that comes to mind when trying to accurately describe the ‘73 BMW you see here, and that’s because it’s anything but simple, but with cohesive planning and careful selection of aftermarket parts, this build does come together in a perfectly user-friendly package, but we’ll get to that shortly. As it sat immediately after purchase, the 2002 was in poor shape, and not running. From the beginning, Dalmakis knew this build had to be given the works, so the entire build started off with the complete disassembly of the car, and disposal of unusable or unnecessary parts.

From there, the car was mounted to a rotisserie, media blasted, and had its entire underside cut off. With the floor, firewall, trunk, and parts of the engine bay’s underside removed, a tube chassis frame was designed and built around E90 subframes

by Chassis Stop, with provisions to accommodate the S55 engine from a BMW M4. You can see where this is going. With the frame, engine mounts, and firewall all fabricated, a set of custom widebody flares, a diffuser, and a front lip were made. The cooling system, exhaust and turbo system were all mocked up, and then the car was stripped down again and mounted to a rotisserie once again to be primed and painted.

While this extensive resto-mod of the bare chassis was underway, the S55 in question was being assembled by Dalmakis at home, with tuning support from Martin Roets of MJR Technologies in South Africa. The S55B30 was treated to improved fuel delivery courtesy of a Radium custom fuel cell, dual OEM high-pressure fuel pumps, Injector Dynamics 1050X injectors, and additional port injection with Flex Fuel capability for good measure.

Airflow is bolstered in tandem with the help of BorgWarner’s 8374 twinscroll turbo mounted up front, and a ported head, with a pair of Tial 44mm wastegates and a 50mm BOV managing boost pressure. The whole setup is

“The whole setup is managed

by Motec’s M142 ECU, and all together makes a respectable estimated 800 horsepower.” managed by Motec’s M142 ECU, and all together makes a respectable estimated 800 horsepower.

The components in the engine bay are already a cohesive unit, but if this was to be a show car, Dalmakis had to go above and beyond. A custom carbon fiber intake manifold makes for a great conversation piece. “Built by Custom Plenum Creations in Australia,

it was quite a process to ensure fitment,” Dalmakis says. “3D files were exchanged, 3D printed in Canada for test fitting, and revised until the final product was built in Australia.” To further complement the engine bay, all piping was made of titanium, and fitted with Vibrant parts throughout.

Built around E9X subframes, the track width had been widened by four inches in the front and rear. E9X M3 bushings, control arms, thrust rods, sway bars, and even LSD were used to make up the bones of the suspension system, and thanks to the uniformity of the E9X components, Dalmakis was able to use Air Lift Performance’s air suspension for an E90 as a plug and play installation, utilizing Accuair’s Endo-CVT tank and management system. Handling steering is a BMW Z8 hydraulic steering rack.

The body of the car itself had to get considerably wider to suit the new subframes and track width, so the car was given to Kyle and Warren Scaife to construct a full metal widebody. With that widebody completed, it was time to hit the paint booth. Ensuring the 2002 stood out among other showworthy vehicles at SEMA and beyond, Dalmakis took a look through the BMW Motorsport Division color catalogue, and found the perfect color: San

Marino Blue. Once painted, the BMW’s glass, rubber, and a majority of the hardware were replaced to give the car a truly showroom fresh look.

At ground level, Dalmakis filled those massive new wheel arches with a 17-inch set of BBS E55 center-lock wheels, measuring 10 inches wide up front, and 12 inches wide in the rear. If these gold wheels look brand new, that’s because they are. With the help of sponsor, JRP, Dalmakis was able to convince the BBS Motorsport division to whip up a brand new set

At this point, Dalmakis could have called it a day, and the car would still look right at home on the floor of SEMA, but he isn’t the type to cut corners or leave things untouched.

The interior of the car was treated to a full custom reupholstery using orange Nappa leather and black alcantara from front to back, including the trunk, where you’ll find a diamond-stitched trunk floor surrounding the fuel cell.

Recaro Sportster seats were reupholstered in matching orange, which works well with the wheel faces when viewed from the outside. Modernizing the instrument panel is a Motec C127 digital instrument display, and a full JL Audio speaker set.

With another incredible BMW build under his belt, Dalmakis is just about finished tinkering with his ‘73. We got our first glimpse of the car on the floor of SEMA 2019, and we were immediately impressed, as the car stood out even among the world’s finest around it.

Dalmakis extends a heartfelt thank-you to the management at Parkview BMW, Canada's largest M car dealer, for the time and effort they put into helping

DRESS UP BOLTS KNOWS THAT THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS.

Story by Adam Gordon w/ notes from Seth McGuire Dress Up Bolts, Eric Rodsa (@thirstiaz), Stance Stagger Media (@stancestaggermedia)

Over time it has become more and more difficult to find a car that truly stands out among its surroundings when you are wandering around a show. A lot of enthusiasts seem to be following the same standardized checklist of modifications, and once that checklist is complete, they don’t know where to go from there. Now I realize that this isn’t true for every owner, and there are some cars out there that continue to push the level of styling beyond most builds. It does, however, appear that many enthusiasts throughout the industry have hit a wall.

I

n an effort to break through that wall, Dress Up Bolts has been pouring their blood, sweat, and money into developing products focused on refining parts of the car that very few owners think about: their hardware. Now before you flip the page, we know an individual bolt doesn’t seem like much, but when you step back and look at all the hardware in an engine bay, or even on a widebody kit, you can start to appreciate how big of an impact these little details can have on a car’s overall style.

PASMAG

2020_PAS162Style-Dress Up Bolts.indd 40

The guys over at Dress Up Bolts aren’t messing around when it comes to quality standards either. All of their products are made from grade 5 titanium alloy, which is known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and light weight. Offering quality hardware was only part of their master plan.

In order to help owners understand the benefits of upgrading their hardware, Dress Up Bolts realized they needed to make it as easy as possible for owners to replace those nuts, bolts, and washers.

“We knew how time-consuming and meticulous the process of measuring each piece of hardware could be,” says Seth McGuire of Dress Up Bolts, “so we came up with a way to take all that frustration out of the equation for our customers by developing comprehensive kits that include installation instructions to make the process as quick and easy as possible.”

The efforts by Dress Up Bolts have not been in vain. As the standard for style and show quality continues to be elevated by dedicated enthusiasts, many of them have taken notice of Dress Up Bolts’ guarantee of quality hardware. At this point, if you’re still using original hardware - or worse, old rusty hardware - you could be leaving points on the table at a show.

Story by

Photography by

Christopher Thibert & PJ Miller

The Mercedes-Benz 190 - or the W201, as the chassis was internally designated by the German automaker - is one of the most instantly recognizable sights in the automotive world. The success and excitement of the 190’s tenure as a DTM racer through the 1990s further cemented the platform as a motorsports icon, and is still recognized today as one of the all-time greats by those who know.

everal iterations of the 190 were created during the platform’s hay day, including a road-going homologation model with a Cosworth engine, which then led to the Evolution I and Evolution II models, and finally an AMG tuned version of the 190E. At the time, AMG wasn’t the division of Mercedes-Benz it is today, but their tuning success with the 190E led them to produce the 190E 3.2 AMG - the first model sold through AMG authorized reseller with a Mercedes-Benz new car warranty. The beauty of the 190 is that every model that was even a little bit sporty is an incredibly well put together 4-door sports car.

“Confident that his own fabrication skills had caught up to his decadeold ambitions, Lajambe and his crew at Trick Factory Customs got busy with the 190”

Tim Lajambe of Coquitlam, British Columbia developed an affinity for the platform from the early days of its DTM run. Around 10 years ago, Lajambe found himself a 190 2.5-16V version, and planned to convert the car to a proper Evolution II spec over time. He spent years gathering parts and fine-tuning his overall concept, but the value of his immaculate 190 2.5 kept climbing, and the car attained collector’s status in no time.

When he couldn’t bring himself to cut up his clean 190, but he still needed to make the Evolution II conversion happen, he did what any sensible enthusiast would do: he bought another one - this time, a base model 190 he could go wild with.

Confident that his own fabrication skills had caught up to his decade-old ambitions, Lajambe and his crew at Trick Factory Customs got busy with the 190. He knew he wanted to draw inspiration from the golden era of DTM racecars, but he also wanted to modernize the platform and have it live up to the quality standards he had been known for on the SEMA show floor. With an idea in his head for a build with absolutely no restrictions, he fired up the sawzall and the welder.

This is where any hardcore purists may want to turn away.

One of the first moments of blasphemy comes in the form of SL600 front and rear subframes, and it only gets more insane from there. Almost immediately after cutting the fenders away to make room for the custom widened Evolution II widebody, Lajambe noticed that the entire track width had been made wider, so the Evolution II kit went under the

knife, and was custom widened by another three inches to ensure good fitment. Filling in the gaps of the now super-wide wheel arches was a job for Fifteen52 Turbomac wheels, which definitely walk the line between old school style and modern engineering exceptionally well, measuring in at 18x9 in the front, and a beefy 18x12.5 in the rear.

At this point, you might be wondering why they went with such an enormous rear wheel and tire setup.

Toyo Tires Proxes RR tires measuring 305/35/18 in the rear are no joke, but is it functional? Those questions are soon answered as we peer under the hood. Where a 2.0L inline-4 making barely 90 horsepower once sat, you’re met with a jaw-dropping sight. A Texas Speed 408 stroker LS complete with PRC billet heads, and mirror image twin Precision Turbo ceramic ball bearing turbos damn near jumps out of the red painted engine bay. Currently making around 1,000 horsepower, this setup is capable of 1,400 horses if needed. More than 10 times the previous engine’s horsepower, calling this an upgrade is an understatement, and it certainly

On that note, it’s important to remember that this is still a street car, despite how much of a racecar it

A custom aluminum subfloor was created to keep serviceability as easy as possible, with all applicable lines and cables running inside the car

rather than underneath. Little touches like that truly set this build apart.

These days, you can catch Lajambe cruising the west coast of Canada in his Texas Speed-powered tribute to the DTM golden era’s Mercedes-Benz 190.

Representing the first full overhaul of the Mini H1 since their launch, the bi-xenon projectors are one of the most advanced headlight projectors in the world today. Revised optics paired with a cast-curved cutoff shield produces one of the widest low beam patterns you've ever seen, and a high beam that will easily go the distance.

Polar Blast $29.99 | Autoglym-Canada.com

Polar Seal $24.99 | Autoglym-Canada.com

Polar Wash $29.99 | Autoglym-Canada.com

Polar Blast is a snow foam which is to be applied using a pressure washer foam cannon as a pre-wash stage. It covers the vehicle in a rich blanket of foam that clings to paintwork to gently loosen dirt and heavy soiling prior to washing. This reduces the risk of scratches and swirl marks caused by a sponge or wash mitt moving over heavy contamination.

Polar Seal is a protective coating that has been specially formulated for application through a pressure washer with a foam gun. It imparts a super hydrophobic layer that causes water to bead on your car, reducing drying time, and protecting paintwork for effortless follow up washes. Simply spray onto a clean, wet vehicle, rinse off, and dry to leave behind a high gloss, wax-like finish.

Polar Wash is a safe and effective cleaner that should be applied using a pressure washer, after pre-washing with Polar Blast.

This impressive cleaner will cover your vehicle in a blanket of foam that makes light work of dirt, traffic film, and road grime removal.

Lucas Slick Mist Tire & Trim Shine is a treatment spray exclusively formulated by Lucas Oil Products designed to give tires and trim a long lasting like-new shine. Use Slick Mist Tire Shine to remove dull, grey oxidation from bumpers, tires, plastic, or any rubber and vinyl trim.

This advanced formula puts a whole new twist on what a spray detailer can deliver by gently and quickly removing light dust and contaminants while leaving behind a layer of hybrid, Si02 ceramic protection that beads water like crazy. As you would expect from a traditional detailer, it contains lubricants that help to buffer the surface when removing light contaminants between regular washings and wax applications. However, their chemists have figured out a way to infuse this with Si02 technology to leave behind Hybrid Ceramic protection by just spraying on and wiping off. It’s the ideal choice for maintaining pre-existing Hybrid Ceramic Protection.

With all-new, advanced Si02 hybrid technology you get hybrid ceramic protection that’s so easy to use, you can actually wax your paint as you rinse off your car. After washing your paint and rinsing off the soap, simply spray on the Hybrid Ceramic Wax and then follow with a second rinse using a strong stream of water. This final rinse helps to spread and lay down the wax for you. Dry your car like you normally would with a premium microfiber drying towel.
