3ZERO3 Motorsports has been charging thru the first quarter of 2010. If you haven’t been keeping tabs on us, you may have missed some of the exciting projects in and around the shop:
Spend a few minutes to get caught up with your favorite VW, Audi, and Porsche maintenance, repair and high performance tuning shop. Proving yet again that no one has as much fun at work as we do !
STARTING THE YEAR OFF RIGHT
To work at 3ZERO3 Motorsports is not to be employed, but rather to be part of a family. We were all thankful to be the guests of Technician Tucker and his wonderful wife Megan. They took all of us in for a night filled with delectable cuisine, and hand crafted libations ( nay : food and beverage !). It is very hard to get all of the 3ZERO3 family in the same place at the same time, but when we do, it always makes for a memorable evening.
Paparazzi capture Scott and his fiance Tess enjoying a moment during the meal. How Scott landed Tess, we will never know !
A savory roast, and Mirror Pond pale ale ? Yes please !
STAYING BUSY
Despite the dawdling US economy, our parking is constantly brimming with Audi’s, Porsches and Volkswagens. We are happy and grateful to be so busy. Thankfully Technician ‘Kiwi’ Andrews has made a full recovery from his shoulder surgery and is back swinging wrenches just in the nick of time.
Cars as far as the eye can see. Ferdinand Porsche would be proud.
Aaron digs deep on a 1982 Porsche 911, while Jason tracks down an electrical gremlin on a late model VW Eurovan.
We missed this guy ! Technician Keith ‘Kiwi’ Andrews returns after some scheduled maintenance. The shop just wasn’t the same without our resident New Zealander !
And the lovely Red Bull girls always know when to stop by and give us a boost.
SUPERCHARGED GLORY
February was officially supercharger month at 3ZERO3 Motorsports. In the span of a few weeks we added 4 PES G4 supercharger units to an Audi RS4, an Audi S6 Avant, and 2 Audi S4’s. The addition of forced induction on each of these platforms has vaulted all of these fantastic 8 cylinder, all wheel drive sports cars into the realm of true super cars. Dropping the clutch of these heavy hitting Audi V8’s while hearing the supercharger whine AND boiling all 4 tires from a dead stop is truly addictive.
3ZERO3 Motorsports has made a name for itself as the premier supercharged tuner for not only Colorado, but in all of North America. Have questions about how to make your naturally aspirated Audi S4, S6, A6, A8, Q7, Touareg, or RS4 go faster ? We have the answers !
Matt Collins supercharged, and methanol fed RS4 engine. Note how closely this resembles a living human heart…. Art imitating life ? You decide.
With 4 supercharger installs under his belt in a single month, Marshall-Law is writing the book on PES supercharger installation, literally.
DYNO TIME
With at least 8 different dyno session scheduled for all of the supercharged Audi V8 cars alone , we spent alot of time on the dyno. Not to mention the great success we had with Tom Seabrook’s STG 3 Audi S4. Dyno testing revealed that his car was missing a significant amount of power. Replacing his injectors, and updating his ECM with a new custom tune yielded BIG power increases.
Dave Elkan’s supercharged B6 S4 Avant laying down nearly 100whp improvement over stock. When you consider the fact that naturally aspirated engines lose 3% of power per 1,000ft of elevation gain, you can really appreciate how much faster Dave’s S4 is in his hometown of Snowmass CO.
Tom Seabrooks’ B5 S4 dyno chart. Tom saw big improvements with a custom tune and new injectors.
We are avoiding any gratuitous ‘go-fast-dyno’ references. Oh wait…..
NEW FRIENDS
With the onset of the new year, we have found ourselves awash with new contacts, new customers, and new friends. People like Euro Berge Magazine and Photographer Ronnie Renaldi have been hanging around the shop lately presenting new and exciting opportunities for 3ZERO3 Motorsports customers and enthusiasts across Colorado !
Looking forward to future collaborations with Richard Melick and the Euro Berge team.
Marty Lowandowski’s has dropped his A6 2.7T to street sweeper status. Marty is a hard working active local enthusiast, we are lucky to help maintain his gorgeous Audi.
Ever since we built Matt Collins’ RS4, we have been inundated with other local RS4 owners. Here RS4 owner Ben Timmons with friend Adam Mattivi discuss global politics while Aaron services the RS4.
NEW CARS
Modified B8 Audi A4’s are becoming more and more frequent visitors to 3ZERO3 Motorsports. James Huzella’s murdered out 2.0TFSI is a prime example.
Tradeshow Emporium owner Willis Wood recently picked up this modified B6 A4 1.8T Avant for pennies on the dollar. His car representing a great example of the value in the used car market.
NEW PRESS
The Moxie Media Group was here in February shooting the latest promo video for Universal Technical Institute, featuring 3ZERO3 Motorsports as a success story for their technical training program. Stay tuned to see the web version of this video as it is released.
Local celebrity photographer and automotive enthusiast Ronnie Renaldi has been frequenting much of our supercharged activity. And we could not be happier !

Focusing first on the mechanical items, followed by body work and interior, stay tuned for progress updates on this modern classic.
GETTING THOSE PORSCHES READY FOR SUMMER
We have been busy lately getting our Porsche customers’ vehicles ready for summer. Track prep, and motor rebuilds have been the name of the game for father and son racing team Mike and Sean Thul. But not all Porsches take the winter off. Vail resident Rys Olsen ROCKS his 997 Carrera 4S all year long.
997 C4S with customer powder coated OEM wheels, hanging tough.
The Porsche 951 cars are becoming more and more popular amongst track junkies in Colorado. With a rear mounted transaxle, 50/50 weight distribution, Porsche genes, and low entry cost, you’d be crazy not to love these cars.

Done and done.
EVENTS
The winter season doesn’t present too many opportunities to get out there and put our cars to the test. Except for ice racing of course. We had a blast tearing up the frozen surfaces of Georgetown Lake this winter. With the help of talented local photographer Adam Mattivi, we were able to get some great shots of doing what we love; playing with our cars! If you haven’t seen Adam’s work ,click here.

Marshall Law’s boosted S4.
You can’t fake smiles like this.
Garry learned quickly to roll on the throttle ever so gently while putting his supercharged S6 thru its paces on the frozen surface of Georgetown Lake.
NEW EVENTS
The summer event schedule is starting to fill up. We will be announcing summer events as soon as they are confirmed. There will of course be the de rigueur track days, and car shows. But this year we have our sights set on some bigger, brighter, and more lifestyle oriented events.
Lots of seats to fill here……
Cool event space indoor……
……and out !
