2017 GTi PP at VIR

[tigeo]

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 slippery track conditions.

Bummer I can't make this one.

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.

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

Have you signed up for the trackdaytire sponsorship? Their cost on R7 is pretty good. I actually don't mind the RR, but they take a lot more camber (-4.2 in my case) and much much higher pressures (I run 44/40). The rr are half the cost of the R7 though!

My brother will be moving to NC next year and VIR is the closest track, hoping to see some of y'all there! Guess I'm gonna get a trailer now

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 speeds. No issues driving back from the track.
