Alex@Aks tuning
« on: July 20, 2014, 07:25:19 pm »
well peeps,
had another nice drive down to aks tuning on friday to have the new brakes fitted-back and fronts,then the new fmic fitted also
both times its pee'd it down but eventually went nice and alex was working in a 28.5 degree heat in the workshop:ill:


once the car was unloaded alex whipped the wheels off so i could take some pics as we went to see the difference later on
fronts with brembo grooved discs and DS2500 pads


rears standard

then all the time and effort painting the new calipers alex had to scratch most of the paint off around the bolting area and inside for the new pads to fit:cry: then cleaned them out to make sure no paint deposits left in the lines etc
new ttrs discs on and pagid blue rs4-2 pads with hel braided lines



then onto the rears S3 calipers with pagid pads,standard discs,was gonna have hel lines on also but alex coudnt get them in time for my visit but ill get them done when he sends them out ;)-we also came across a broken brake pipe when trying to get off so had to order a new 1 in which only took just over an hour but was £16:-o

finally all fitted alex started to strip the front end down to fit the THS intercooler while i cleaned/waxed my new wheels and fitted 2 more goodyear eagle f1 assy 2's to have them all matching ;)well appy!

now back to the fmic,had a few problems fitting which were easily sorted,had the bottom crash bar cut to allow clearence for the ths,the cts pipe had to be grinded down to fit the new fmic hoses,i gave alex a hand at this point to crowbar the cooler in hehe

i was suprised that the S3 cooler that came off was better than standard until i seen it next to this ths:-o



finally all back together alex wasnt happy with the fittings of the revo intake and made a call to revo about the engine bolt wasnt mating up very well and the L clip that mates to the scuttle panel needed drilling to allow more freedom of fittings,alex then made the changes and swapped the ceramic pipe for a better fitting 1
lastly bled the brakes up and had to buy new bolts all round with locking nuts and some 3 mm spacers(cheers kev) to fit wheels



alex took it for a spin to test and all finished off







overall 1 hell of a difference,not the initial bite like the standard brakes but quater of the pedal down and it gives you whiplash :evilgrin: so ive not put them to good use yet until ive bedded them in just needs a jet wash now to get it back clean
cheers for looking;)

Would the ttrs calipers fit under the standard 18" Orion alloys? I am doing this conversion myself in the near future

Not sure wether to go for calipers over the 345 or go full ttrs setup

This is sounding good

So just a 3mm hub centric spacer and I should be able to run the full ttrs setup under my standard orions?

I'm taking delivery of the brakes on Friday. Maybe a week to get them fitted as I'll need new lines and the weekend to do it. Assuming all is well, then the oem brakes will be available after that. I shall give you a PM when I know more
