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

[Matto]

Yay 

Mine was the only derv out there. This was at the Ford RS Owners day so it was dump valve galore. I was able to join in well enough though as most old Ford's smoke as much as mine anyway haha.

Cheers mate

Nice one matt... you need a headrest mount like mine!

Need to get me some of those headlights! Really like what you've done with your car man, even if it is a GT

Nice and clean

More progress please!

Unfortunately the chap I had them from cannot get them anymore. I referred another member on here a few weeks ago who got in touch with him. I think he said they don't make them anymore which is a shame.

More progress please!

I currently have nothing in the pipeline at the minute. I do have some TTS discs and M1144's to fit when I get chance. Apart from that most of my cash is being saved towards a wedding. Oh and I have been looking at MK7 GTD's. Bit out of my reach currently.

Good little vid that Matt.

Was prob just the tyre pressures needing adjusting on the Hankooks.  Going to have to tie your hands to the steering wheel too! 

[Shoduchi]

Great looking GT Sport! Definitely the R-line front grills would be a good addition. :)

Cheers

So only a small update from me. Finally got round to fitting my Brembo TTS discs and Mintex M1144's yesterday. Currently bedding them in.

That is all

Hey Matto love this car 

With the added BHP / Torque have you made any changes to the clutch / DMF? if not have you had any problems with the standard clutch / DMF?

Not sure if i missed this in one of your previous post so appollogies if i have.

Thanks @Nibs I am still on stock clutch and DMF. Seems to be holding up fine with the current power and torque but will no doubt need doing somewhere down the line as it gets older. Car has only just hit 50K.

Hope this helps

Yeah thanks, i've got the exact same car same colour and seeing your build thread has made me want to make a few changes to mine since i installed some my kw V1's.

chief amount which would be the removal of the DPF and EGR they they start getting clogged up but with the DPF removed i wouldn't want the soot shown on your soot cam vid so a visit to CC tuning might be in order as they helped you out pretty good, thing is then with the remap would mean an increase in HP / Torque and i was thinking the DMF might suffer a bit but seems ok with 218hp. My car has already had one DMF at about 65k but tbh that was me being anal about the car.

Cheers mate. Needs a wash though after being in the Lakes the other week.

@Nibs If you go down the route of a DPF & EGR delete, go for the Darskide Developments stuff. Well made and cheaper than a Milltek equivalent. You will only have soot issues like I had if you have it mapped at Shark, which i wouldn't recommend. Chris at CC Tuning will see you right though. Will tune it how you want and if there is too much smoke, he will knock it back abit. I still get some smoke but its more of a very light grey haze in the mirror now as opposed to a thick black cloud. You'll be fine with a remap. All you have to remember is not to load it up too much low down the RPM's. For example don't plant your foor in 3rd or 4th at 1000rpm. Thats when you'll feel it judder. I don't get anything at all with how it is mapped currently.

Nice video matto, I've added a like for you 

You have given me a few ideas for mods to my golf, its just the funds that hold me back at present.

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?
