WÖRTHERSEE 2016 – THAT PETROL STATION…

posted in: AIRLIFT | 0

It’s not easy trying to explain an event like Wörthersee to those who have never been. You drive 1000+ miles to a small Austrian lake weeks before the actual show, only to then spend each day driving around parts of the town hoping to meet up with other VAG enthusiasts. Sounds like a lot of effort, right? The rewards make it all worthwhile though…

Austria is centrally-located in Europe, and as such attracts VAG fans from countries including the UK, Germany, Italy and even Russia. Everyone has their own little road trip to get down there, so while 1000-miles is a long drive for an event, everyone’s in the same boat.

One of the must visit places in Wörthersee is the ENI Mischkulnig petrol station (formerly Shell). It doesn’t sound like a typical meeting location given all the highly-explosive petrol around, but this ENI is unlike just about any other fuel station on the planet – they 100% embrace the modified VAG takeover and welcome as many enthusiasts as possible along!

Need fuel? Not a problem – use one of the 12-pumps on site. Car looking dirty? Pull up to the right and use one of the 5 cleaning bays specifically opened for car fans over the Wörthersee period. There’s even pizza and beers available from a small refreshments hut next to the main shop. It’s become such an attraction the ENI staff have even installed a series of webcams so you can see just how busy it is at any time.

As day turns to night the action really begins to kick off. Thousands of VAG fans line the streets, some taking deck chairs to get the best possible view as Wörthersee descends into darkness. A parade of awesome cars constantly swarm the petrol station, showing off the latest mods and styles from across the whole of Europe. Got yourself a lairy, tuned motor under the bonnet? It’s pretty much a given that you’ll have to rev it when driving past.

This sort of gathering probably wouldn’t work in other countries or car scenes. Despite the thousands of cars constantly driving around, everyone remains respectful and plays by the rules to keep things fun. Police keep an eye to make sure everyone’s staying safe, and when a car’s full with fuel it’s moved into the car parking to keep the station busy. It really is the most bizarre, awesome, and exciting petrol station on the planet. What’s not to love!

posted in: AIRLIFT | 0

Air Lift Performance has taken air management technology to the next level with the introduction the new Air Lift Performance 3H/3P air management systems. These powerful, reliable height and pressure systems are the most advanced products ever created by Air Lift Performance.

As a result of three years of development and testing, the new 3H system combines pressure-based control with ride height sensing technology to factor both height and pressure together. This design ensures desired ride height can be achieved without radical differences in pressure. With up to five customizable presets, the system quickly adjusts to and maintains height and/or pressure with the push of a button.

Air Lift Performance 3P uses pressure based sensing technology only, so it doesn’t include the height components that come with 3H, but can be easily upgraded at a later date.

These incredibly accurate air management systems come with full color display and an integrated control pad, but can also be controlled through the Air Lift Performance iOS mobile app.

Users can also benefit from the latest Air Lift Performance 3H and 3P firmware updates available through the app by downloading updates and new features to the system.
