These are great dual duty track/street pads. Kind to rotors. I left them in full time when I still ran stock PP brakes.

Looks like I have two injectors that are not spraying correctly. Had misfires on #3 & #4 At VIR. Car would go into limp mode after 3-4 laps. Oil sample came back with 4.8% fuel dilution. Which isn’t terrible if you have 5-7.5k on the oil, but I had 400 miles. The care drives fine at highway...

Welcome! VIR rocks!

I’ll be running an old set of RR’s. But I need to get some used R7’s

Got the GTi prepped for VIR this weekend. Flushed the brake system with new SRF and bled the brakes. track pads are in. Alignment is scheduled at VW tomorrow morning. I clearanced the towers a little to squeeze out a few extra cambers.

Busy prepping the car for VIR. Doing a nut and bolt check. Fluid change for engine and trans. Rear slide pins clean and lube. Brake flush and bleed. It’s been a 2-year break from the track. It’s been way too long. Looking forward to joining TSCC. Cool December temps will make for HP and...

VAQ ECU Replacement It’s been a hot minute since I last posted. Nov ‘22 was my last track event. Anyhoo hit some road shrapnel I couldn’t avoid May 2023, which took out my oil level sensor, VAQ ECU and the connector for my VAQ Pump. Had to replace the ECU, pump and oil level sensor. Had to...

Are you lowered? Measure the center to center length of your current endlinks. I need to dig up the number. See if Powergrid has a contact number on their website. Im brain farting and cannot remember the guys name to look it up in my contacts.

Happy Thanksgiving! I want to wish my MQB and Track friends a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving. I have a lot to be thankful for and wish you all the very best during the festive holiday season. Stay safe and keep it shiny side up!

Charlotte’s oval asphalt is rough and bumpy. I was not expecting that. You can still run up to high speeds. It just rattles your fillings out. The inner Roval asphalt is decent. I’m assuming that Daytona is much smoother. My Vmax on VIR’s back straight is 147mph. Not a lot of exit strategies if...

Road course ovals are unforgiving. After running the Charlotte Motor Speedway as a passenger, I’ve decided that it is not worth the risk. Asphalt surface is really rough. Vmax is seriously fast. If you get a puncture or hit fluid, there is precious little space before you get to the walls...

This is sad news.

2023 Rugby World Cup Final Not sure if there are any rugby players/rugby fans on here….??? Huge final! This is going to be a humdinger.

I changed from Performance Friction brake fluid to SRF on the stock PP Brakes. The pedal would fall away in the last third of a session. Have stuck with SRF with my BBK. I ran Endless on my Cooper S when I tracked it and really liked that. Two things that still frustrate me with the GTi braking...

Thank you for posting the brake ducting photos.

OBD11 Coding Hey thought I would do a quick post here in case someone has the answer. Was trying to wrap up my VAQ ECU replacement and run the VAQ pump adaptions using OBD11. Had a communication error through the gateway bus, where it was not communicating with Module 32 Diff lock. While...

@Mini7 is a strong possibility. I’ve reserved a garage and it room. Need to figure whether I will run R-comps or street tires. My all season street tires are running out of tread on the rears.

Agree totally. In tank is the simplest and safer solution.
