    Questions and advice for a HPDE Noob

    Torque wrench and socket for your wheels. Re-torque them after the first session. I check mine 2-3 times per day.

    Questions and advice for a HPDE Noob

    Do yourself a favor and buy a seat belt locking clip. You don't want to be moving around in your seat or having to constantly tighten it up while you're on track. Seat belt locking clip

    Looking for a little help with suspension tuning

    I ran the stock FSB with 3 different aftermarket RSBs. I never liked how that felt. Then I read the following article and it really made sense to me https://nasaspeed.news/tech/suspension/camber-matters-optimizing-track-performance-for-strut-suspension-cars/ Then I installed the H&R 26mm FSB...

    Looking for a little help with suspension tuning

    Sorry, I should have said that the REAR end is stuck everywhere. I edited the first post to reflect that. At no time does the rear end get loose, even under HARD threshold braking. I'm pushing the front tires right to the edge of understeer in basically every corner. I even went two off in turn...

    Thanks David. I agree that taking away grip is a bandaid. I think I'll start with the rear toe then soften the front sway bar.

    Looking for a little help with suspension tuning

    Hi Guys, I'm in a Mk6 GTI. The mk6 forum is pretty slooooowwwww these days so I thought I'd post here. I have done 12 days at Laguna Seca in my car. The setup has slowly evolved as I've gotten to know the car. Here's my current suspension setup: Ground Control Camber Plates Koni Yellow Sports...

    200TW HPDE tire selections (with one condition)

    I ran the Nankang AR-1s on my last track day. I had been running RS-4s before. I bought the AR-1s from Phil's Tire Service in NY. They recommend a specific heat cycle including an overnight cool down. I paid $100 to have them heat cycled to avoid the overnight wait. They still needed a few laps...

    I'm in too. We should all park together. Bern and I both parked near turn 3 last time. It's close to the gas pumps and the bathroom is nicer. ;^)

    My tires showed up and I got them mounted today. I’ll be at Laguna Seca on Sunday.

    My tires got delayed until tomorrow. Hopefully they actually show tomorrow. If they do it's going to be a busy day on Saturday. I'm glad I haven't signed up yet.
