Matt, to make these fit you need these: TTRS 370x32mm with Rs5 brackets. The TTRS disks have the same hub size and the correct offset to fit. If you don’t run wheels that have a lot of room to fit BBK’s like OZ Ultralegerra’s/ATS Racelight’s etc etc most of the time you need to run it with spacers. My Pretoria’s didnt fit without 5mm spacers so I bought a set of Racelight wheels that did fit.
Nice work with those stonking calipers. You missed a trick whilst fitting the turbo elbow though. Turbo muffler delete. No performance gains (as such), just allows you to hear the turbo dump a little better without going down the BOV route. Might gain better airflow (as with the aftermarket elbow) due to the muffler having exhaust vents which are then closed up with a muffler delete kit. Easily accessible during elbow fitment and is 3 bolts (one hidden underneath but easy to access). Drop the pop and bang map though. 400bhp with a decat will do this naturally although not to that extent. Spoken from an MRC stage 2'ed S3 owner, Audi factory purple 😎 With no pop and bang map!
Matt .. you need to run TTRS 8S brake rotors.. they have a 2.5mm offset difference to others. This allows the calliper to sit central ish.. the guid pins that the pads sit between foul and grind against the brake rotor causing irreparable damage… check all clearance before you drive. Also 19 alloy wheels are forgiving and you may need spacers or an alloy that gives you natural clearance this set up is renown for temp issues also. Make sure to run a good pad and rotor combo to try combat this.
The front brakes do 70% of the braking the rear brakes only act as stabilisers for the rear end to stop it sliding around on its axis so it doesnt really Mater too much especially if you like the drift life.
hey mate , seems like you know a thing or two. I have an audi A5 b8 and im looking to do a similar job of upgrading my brakes, the car is on 19 inch audi rims , and has at least 10mm spacers. What should i go for ? any suggestions ?
Please don't tell me no one else noticed the stickers on the calipers when he first got them🤣🤣 great video mate been watching you for ages and it's great to see the progression you have made ❤️
I’ve learned so much just from watching your videos… I just installed a cold air intake on my A4 yesterday and you were a huge inspiration. Now only to figure out what I wanna do next 😅
@@panchit0z its not more "speed", if you don't tune the rest of your car to adapt to the intake then it wont be using all of the air. No point in getting a new intake when your ECU isn't taking advantage of it
I know you have done it but the Turbo elbow really should have been the first thing you did even before the new intake, Thats a good stage 2 number also without stressing the fuel pumps, the over run is a bit over the top though :)
The itch for a bagged s3 saloon is so bad and after watching your build on this am currently debating one on eBay in black! Front end damage no airbags deployed tho! Big ups on the content your a proper legend!🙌💜
I have loved every bit of this build, it’s been so informative and each mod has been so good to watch from start to finish. Keep smashing the content Matt! S3 and R builds have been the best on UA-cam 🙌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
You are just making us all proud of your knowledge and courage mate! I keep watching your vids and I keep getting impressed by what you attempt to do on these cars! Ill tell you something, not a huge fan of modified cars but I would definitely drive this one, thats for sure! Let’s see how Liam will perform with the upgrade on his car😂🤦🏻♂️😎
Amazing Improvements. You almost get the power of the RS3 . I hope that all the modifications on the brakes will matched (clearance, temperature). Congratulations for all this great work. You can be proud.
Recently starting watching his videos and have to say that mostly impressed with his smile thru all the work. Have done a teeny tiny bit of work on my car, things been broken etc. and only takes like 15-20 min for the sailor talk to come out and no one is allowed to talk to me unless they are helping xD These are great videos tho!
Matt, I feel your pain. I changed the condenser on my A3 8P and it was a total wanker of a job, your right its a stupid design took me hours because I didn't want to drain the coolant. One little bolt holding a bracket on for the condenser pipes was stopping me and to get to it the whole rad pack had to come off, got it in the end but dude I feel your pain on this one, totally stupid. Also I love a big brake kit looks great!
Mat, some of your mods are not my cup of tea (especially mega popping and banging exhausts) but I love how you just give everything a go and are prepared to work at the fixes and mods until they work as you want them to. Looking forward to more videos from you soon from all of your cars, current and future.
I find myself just trawling your videos just to find something to watch, even watching some videos a few times. Well done creating an amazing channel that millions of people watch and love. ❤
This build has been amazing! What a legend you are Matt! I think we should be worried about Liam getting a Asbo for the pops and bangs rather than crashing it with those beasty brakes 🤣 Top content keep it up!
Hey Mat. The pads shouldn’t wear unevenly with the caliber being slightly off centre as long as the pistons don’t run out of travel as the pads wear down. If the pistons run out of travel then you’ll end up with with degraded performance because one bank of pistons won’t be able to push the pad onto the disc anymore.
That motor is a beast! Same as in the Golf R, GTI, and a bunch other MQB cars. They are good, if built right, for even more power. But, I wonder if that brake setup would also bolt up on Golfs.
@Matt Armstrong, you could of used some washer on the caliper bolts to shim and center the caliper on the rotor so you would have even pad wear. In doing so that would bring the face of the caliper inward and you would have to use a smaller spacer(5mm) for the rim to clear the caliper....
I honestly don't think anyone else on UA-cam comes close to your channel mate you keep making me smile what a transformation that car has been through 👌
Matts toptastic guy and his enthusiasm is Contagious!!! great show as normal- Don’t like the colour also not being a weary Willy but don’t like the body kit bit too ‘pimp my ride’.Luv the rear exhausts etc.That power is “off its head” lol.. Bet insurance is astronomical Great Entertainment to watch though peace🕊 Amaaaazing
Nice man. I run the 6 pot Brembo GTs on my S3. Designed and built custom 3pc forged rims to fit the brakes. Driving hard with spacers is sketch IMO. Do88 intercooler is quite a bit bigger than what you installed. Just something to look into when you're looking to push 500+
Liam’s S3 is Sick!!! Let’s 🙏🏻 that with all the money and time spent transforming it and upgrading the power, just hope he doesn’t crash it 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Keep up the great work Matt always ❤️ your videos 👍🏻
God I love this build so much. I wish so badly that I could have gotten into an s3 or Jetta GLI 😩 but with my business, I needed a bit more room and had to go with a Tiguan R. It’s still a really fun, really nice car, and drives incredible for a little crossover (after the right mods), but it’ll never be an s3. Maybe someday I’ll be able to outdo all of them and just get myself an Audi RS3 🤞🏼😂 6:36 the Aston sittin there, just being all expensive af Stay awesome Mat, and I can’t wait to see the Range Rover back and to see more of the Aston 🙌🏼😎
The benefit of Silicon hoses isn’t to smooth out the airflow, they’re just more flexible than rubber and don’t degrade so they’ll last much longer without splitting.
Would love to see a 911 come to Armstrong Central soon . Its one a few people must be anticipating you doing at some point I'd have thought 🤔 😄 or 718 also.. maybe Akira Nakai style kit
Just amazing Mat the S3 looks pukka Liam must be a happy camper with it loving all the content and have been for a few years now shout out to Hannah as behind every good man we know is a better women.......killing the game right now cant wait for more Aston 🙌 👏 😍
You might need to look into some (Very very cheap) "Hubcentric rings" for those brake rotors. They are only a few dollars usually at most depending on what material you get them in (don't use the plastic ones) they shouldn't be more that $25 or 15 Pounds ish I would think.
Next build Matt: Transit Custom MSRT. Would be awesome to see a Copart van straight from the construction site and giving the full wide body MSRT treatment 👌
Omg the colour of this is lush. I hadn't seen this build as I thought the Aston would look great in purple. Obv you aren't going to do two in a similar colour.
Hi Mat i have absolutely loved that video like many and you have done a hell off a job with Liam`s car . Looking at how low it sits i cant help but to try to get hold of you , i have made a new part that fits onto Maxton design not only keeps it from breaking easy it also increases that amazing look of it , please allow me to show you am sure you will love it looking forward hearing from you .
New subscriber here, nice work on the channel Mat. I’m not keen on the popping and banging, that surely is just more fuel being wasted, it will get annoying real quick.

could always delete the front fogs and port more air towards the brakes too

tune it properly so the ECU knows there will rush more air into the engine so it can supply more fuel to it!

Love the colour combo. Would personally paint over the lambo logo on the brakes.
But awesome stuff as always.
there is no paint of lambo logos. its a sticker
@@MatArmstrongbmx I mean paint over it so you would not see the Lamboghini logo considering it is an Audi :)
Good video Bro 👍🏾
You know you've made it when you hire a model just to open the shutters for the unit when you pull up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Best brakes I ever had were on a 2016 RS Q3. 8 pot calipers on wavy rotors, boy they were good. Nice Post Mat, your talent shines through.
Great video. It would have been good to see a brake test before and after to see the difference in stopping distance.
Can we get a Christmas special Compilation of Mat just laughing at all the exhausts over the years please?
Good shout! (He’d also probably be perfect as the Joker in the next Batman film!) ha ha! 😂🤣😂🤣🤩🤑
