Yesterday (December 19, 2008) DUB Magazine dropped by BBI Autosport in Huntington beach, CA to shoot footage for their website and gather facts for an upcoming article in their magazine. It was a great afternoon. I took my Stage II 997TT and met about a dozen other car owners who have received modifications from Betim, Joey and Jared. We had a lot of laughs and learned a lot about what BBI does behind the scenes. In a couple of weeks check out DUB.com for the feature and watch the mag for the article.

BBI Autosport - a TEAM SPEED strategic partner - is a Huntington Beach based tuner operated by Betim Berisha and his group of very talented mechanics. They work on a wide variety of cars but they specialize in Porsche tuning. Both Betim and Joey spent years with Porsche as engineers and as part of their various racing teams. It has been a pleasure for me to see BBI from the very beginning and to now see it get some of the attention it deserves. These guys are the real deal - I know from personal experience.

Here are some shots from the event taken by my son (Oversteer on TS). For the full photo set, follow this link: DUB Magazine Visits BBI Autosport

Cool closeup shot. The Tifosi is starting to get the hang of manual focus.

A BBI Signature Series P43 wheel in textured black.



This R8 actually belongs to MMA Champion Rampage Jackson. The guys were VERY careful with this one!



Jared plying his trade.



These are custom-made Garrett turbos. Someone's car is about to get a whole lot FASTER!

A CLK63 AMG Black Series. This car is simply BAD ASS! You have to hear it.



Cool closeup shot of the PPI Razor R8.

 

The PPI Razor R8. This car has more carbon fiber on it than any car I have ever seen. This is a one-of-a-kind body kit!



Professor Betim educating the populous.



Someone is going to have a merry Christmas!

Betim and Joey laying down the info.



Joey is either explaining something technical or practicing for his new career as a DJ.



That's almost pornographic.



Throttle body.



DUB getting up close and personal.



Kewl.



Those aren't as heavy as they look.



Can't get enough of this car.



That guy is gonna get a serious ass whuppin' if he wrecks that car.



And in honor of the photographer – the GRAND TIFOSI!

 

Great pics Dana! Looks like a nice afternoon. You had much better weather than I did today.

You should make Oversteer a new avatar with that last picture!

 

Wow, great pictures! Dana, it's really nice to see a company come from relative obscurity into a shop that is getting well deserved business, respect, and publicity. Those guys seem to have a very bright future ahead of them. Oh, and your 997TT looks bad ass!

 

Yea Great pics.
Good way to spend an afternoon.
How much HP is your TT pushing?
I love that Cayman-911 Hybrid too

 

My 997TT is running about 580 hp to the crank.

That Cayman is nuts. It has Porsche factory CGT Silver paint!

 

Wow, looks like a great shop and pictures came out sweet too. The whips aren't bad either :-)

Question. Is Dub magazine still around or is this only web content?

 

Honestly, besides your car, the Cayman and the Silver PPI R8, all the other cars have horrible wheels, especially the black R8
Including one two pf my favorite cars ever. SL65 and Black series
