    I've just recently got shot of my Litchfield tuned A45. It was running 450bhp with the Litchfield Stage 2 package (ECU tune, induction kit and decat downpipe). Effectively this turned my A45 into a very quick hatchback, and it achieved the quickest quarter mile times in the UK down Santa Pod and Shakespeare Race Way @ 11.80s. However...... I sold it a couple of months back and bought a new 8V RS3..... which to me is a better car. I took that down the drag strip last week and that did a 12.2s quarter..... 100% stock! Ha

  • @adam-gx1iw
    @adam-gx1iw 8 лет назад +29

    Sorry but the RS3 sounds so much better with 5 cylinders as opposed to this one. Great car though!

    • @CinemaUnited
      @CinemaUnited 8 лет назад +3

      A45 is better on track and has a better awd system

    • @PaganiZondaF650hp
      @PaganiZondaF650hp 8 лет назад +1

      but the rs3 facelift and ttrs will have big changes to the awd in terms of torque vectoring similar to the focus rs. And the new engine will be lighter. That together will hopefully kill all understeer

    • @adam-gx1iw
      @adam-gx1iw 8 лет назад +2

      It's not always about performance. However the RS3s engine is irreplaceable.

    A: Because you have money, and you want to show off to the whole world (RUclips).

  • @bobford1109
    @bobford1109 8 лет назад +1

    Good car, the highest output mass produced four cylinder production engine.
    Not to sure about the interior red accents they look a little tacky and would probably be the only negative comment generated in the BRDC car park

  • @AllThingsAutomotive97
    @AllThingsAutomotive97 8 лет назад +1

    Be a yobbo and go with an Armytrix exhaust! Other than that, keep it completely standard.

  • @JB-rp3ii

    Great choice Archie. Love a benz. They just do it all.
    You should RENNTECH that bitch like Paul did. Shit is bad ass. Just don't put stupid stickers on your tires.
    JUST
    DO IT

  • @baileysmith5088
    @baileysmith5088 8 лет назад

    army Trix exhaust, maybe a set of vossen wheels?? those stock wheels are amazing though, or just get a true blood wrap with a black stripe and get renteck to tune it and it can be a baby AMG to Paul's gt-s 😂👌

  • @ivxshotttzz7005

    Renntech exhaust system and ecu upgrade or brabus upgrade

  • @PaganiZondaF650hp
    @PaganiZondaF650hp 8 лет назад

    c43 amg maybe? You would get more luxury and things like the head up display. Who cares about the few less horses everyday. And with an exhaust upgrade the v6 definitely sounds better

  • @joejl87
    @joejl87 8 лет назад +1

    Change the wheels to all black

  • @nijerk13
    @nijerk13 8 лет назад

    Sound is already superb.
    Perfomance upgrade is always cool but not really necessary.
    I think all it needs is some exterior additions, maybe a few more bits of red etcetera around the car. Just to make it stand out a bit more, since this black is quite dull...

  • @robbier6763
    @robbier6763 8 лет назад +1

    Personalise it with some colour trims! Something like the edition 1 but to your own style preference :)

  • @2010cooljwelham
    @2010cooljwelham 8 лет назад

    Hey Archie, have to admit even though am I Mini type guy, I have to say I'm rather jealous aha. Personally I'd got for the rentech exhaust and remap, just to give that little extra to the car

    Solid decision on the addition, congrats. Renntech has a deviant tune out there for this vehicle. Now that you and Tim both have valued hatches I believe a head to head video is in demand.

  • @NickF14

  • @mikeb8223

    Baseline ecu tune. Chances are that car is toned back so it can slowly be raised by Mercedes over the years. I would get a solid tune.

    These engines can be tuned really easily to produce a lot of power by companies like VIVID Racing and Renntech

  • @nicholasvitiello5567
    @nicholasvitiello5567 8 лет назад

    Suggested modifications for the A45 AMG:
    - Full Armytrix exhaust system with valve control
    - Renntech ECU upgrade + BMC air filter
    - Renntech Carbon strut brace
    - Renntech performance brake package
    - Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres
    - Full suspension setup inc; alignment, corner weighting, wheel balance etc

  • @cdon2day
    @cdon2day 8 лет назад

    Archie, when you do upgrades on this car could you say if such upgrades are also available for the GLA 45 AMG as well. They are quite similar vehicles, 2016 models are anyway. Thanks

  • @aadam5
    @aadam5 8 лет назад

    Chip (plug and play), K&N (or other) air filter, exhaust or downpipe (cheaper than a full system) and lowering springs. Small, yet effective upgrades. Hope you find this useful.

  • @kEirenic
    @kEirenic 8 лет назад

    I'm a big fan of BMW and currently drive one. As much as I admire the M2, I really think A45 is a better buy. Here in Malaysia the M2 is priced at almost 30℅ more than the Mercedes..

  • @carwatch6722
    @carwatch6722 8 лет назад

    Archie I have a quick question. I have realised in many of the A45 AMG videos there seems to be a sound in the background which sounds like there's a very small draft coming into the car. When watching videos of other vehicles the sound is not as much as the A45.
    Does the A45 have the sound of a small draft in the background when you're driving?

  • @israelsinger7045
    @israelsinger7045 8 лет назад

    Hey +Archie Hamilton Racing, I have seen there are side skirt splitters that are developed for this car. I would definitely also get an Akrapovic exhaust system for sure (quality is second to none). And I would say ADV.1 or Vossen wheels with uprated and lowered suspension. Beyond that, the car doesn't need much else. Looks awesome by the way!

  • @emptyfridge6642

  • @CB-rr9fe
    @CB-rr9fe 8 лет назад

    Good choice... i felt the same way about the RS3 tbh. I have a Rebellion tune box on my CLA45 and boy does it make it come alive... I havent had a dyno yet but it should be sitting around 420 to 430hp... next for me will be be an AMS intake.

  • @James-yl3kk

    @stuartmetcalfe3736 8 лет назад

    I think a list of mods should be done
    tinted windows
    smoked lights
    smoked number plates
    black out the wheels
    dechrome it (black all the badges)
    get a loud exhaust (renntech or brabus maybe?)
    I think your aim should be to stealth it out as much as possible
    awesome car and awesome video though, well done

  • @SortaProfessional89
    @SortaProfessional89 8 лет назад

    i think intake exhaust and an ECU flash or chip will give you a nice boost in power and will not sacrifice drivability. as far as what kind of exhaust i think something with electronically adjustable flaps/baffles so that you can still have relatively quiet exhaust or balls to wall on demand
