Picked up a few things last week. EQT coilovers, 15/20mm spacers for the Austins, and higher quality Motorsport Hardware studs to replace my ECS ones (and accommodate the larger spacers).
I also had a track day at Sonoma on Saturday 11/7. Ran with SpeedSF. This was my first track day here in the GTI, although I've down a couple ride alongs and several laps behind the wheel in a friends car before. I have to say, the track is pretty intimidating. There are so many spots where its easy to upset the balance of the car, I had to really ease into things. It doesn't help there are giant concrete walls right off the track. I felt pretty comfy by the end of the day though. Set tires to 34 cold and car handled pretty much perfect all day. It was only 60F out so track/tires were pretty cold at the start of the day. On the plus side I had zero oil/heat soak issues, and no smoke from PCV blowby. BL PCV plate continutes to do its job.
Here are some laps with commentary and one of my fastest laps of the day. I definitely left a few seconds out there, but was mainly focused on learning the correct lines and not crashing today.
