Haven't really kept up with this thread since I've primarily focused on the website, but figured I'd at least comment to point to the updates... 9 trip reports since April when I posted in this thread last.

Link to all trip reports on the website:

Some notable ones:
VIR Memorial Day HPDE w/ Tidewater Sports Car Club

Set a new personal best lap that weekend:


Fastivus at Summit Point on the Shenandoah Circuit

Set a new personal best there as well, though it wasn't hard since the IS38 swap:


Most recently I went drag racing in the GTI for the first time, and had a great time

Great stuff! The VIR lap was a proper flyer, the car is looking nicely balanced!

The 112 trap speed on the strip is pretty good too! Does the switchpath TC replace the primary OEM TC or the secondary (that stays on even after you longpress the button) ?

Awesome, but sad to learn my IS38 GTI is probably a 13 second car lol. It feels so much quicker. Granted it takes a couple seconds to get rolling in first and go to second as fast as I can. From there it pulls very well.

Yeah it's replaced by the SP TC.

Yeah, lol. Was mildly disappointed myself. If I can get my 60ft down then it's got potential to be a mid-12. I actually think that my narrow 215 Conti ECS on 7.5 wide wheels would be easier to launch than the RE71RS. Might bring both sets of wheels next time to experiment.

FWIW I have a pretty mild tune overall. You can watch and see the boost and timing is very tame vs a lot of off the shelf tunes.
