Matto's Shadow Blue GT Sport 210 *Updated 12.2.16 - Mods Complete*

[Andy]

Hey Matto wondering if i can pick your brain?

If i have missed your thread update on brakes i appologise its been a while since reading it.

What discs / pads do you have? Mine are due for replacement and i was going down the Tarox route after reading the R32OC forum but they maybe a bit OTT for my car plus they may set me back £418 for disc (front and back) alone.

What do you have on your car?

Think Matt is using--•TTS Discs and Mintex M1144 Pads

[Matto]

Andy is correct. I'm running Brembo TTS discs on the front with Mintex M1144's. Standard Audi S3 stuff on the rear.

[Tfsi_Mike]

The Brembo discs are slightly lighter aren't they?

[Matto]

Its the fact they are the TTS discs which means they are lighter. Have a fancy cooling fin layout and are marginally smaller at 340mm

Wow that's a lovely GT Matto, only bad point means I'm gonna be spending more money soon

Sorry not sorry @Rob1  I was the same when I joined up. Seeing all these nice things you can do. Thanks for the kind words

So it has been a while since I have updated this but TBH not much has happened. It is currently in winter/bad weather mode so back on the Classix. I had them powder coated over Christmas too after seeing @Sjw_Vw 's done in black. Only difference is I prefer to run them without the centre caps so made some Nylon ones at work to blank the hole then use the standard nut covers. Gives a slightly different look.

It also had a much needed wash and some wax the other weekend. You'll have to excuse the phone pics. The only ones I have of it in its current guise.





I also decided to put the number plate mount back on. After the magnets corroding I changed to double sided suckers. When we had the snow earlier this year, during the melt some slid off the bonnet and pulled the plate off and it wouldn't stay on after that and got fed up of it. I managed to pick up a standard plate mount and shorten it to fit my personal plate and reattach to the grill panel.

Still one of my favourites on this forum........but with all these 500/600 bhp monsters you've got some stiff competition! 

[Matto]

Cheers @Biano44 . Haha I know what you mean but who needs 500/600bhp when you're getting 600 miles to a tank 

I'm at the end of the modding with this anyway now. Just the boost gauge and vent pod to fit then keep it looking nice and serviced. I know what I want next but they are't out yet nor do I have the funds.

Glad to see someone really liked something on my car

It's one of the best diesels around, for sure.

Faultless and very well balanced project!

Yes mate. As soon as I saw them I knew I had to have mine done black. At least it can't be said I'm copying now due to your recent colour change  @Sjw_Vw

Really appreciate the comment @Shoduchi

So it has been a while since my last update but this is due to me now doing much to it lately. I am now at the end of my mods list and will just keep it clean and service before changing to something else in a couple of years hopefully. I know what I want but need them to come down in price a little first.

But anyway, here are a couple of pictures of my latest and last mods. Newsouth Boost Gauge and vent pod.





Thanks again for looking and this is the end for now. Will probably post some photos up when it's had a decent clean as I've been going for no wash winter so far.
