Sunset Red 1.4 TSI(TFSI) GT Sport - daily drive & track car
rex:
Yup, I intend to solve the issues but if not I will just go like the last trip (a little bit slower and changing at 6000 RPM).
I may have misled you. I am not sure it is Cylinder No 4. I only know I might have issues on one cylinder but I am not sure yet which one.
Hurdy:
Usually it has been cylinder 4 on the forums...furthest right as you look under the bonnet. :smiley:

I've cleaned my track wheels and tires and this is what I found:
I was really lucky because it did not cause a puncture. The screw is caught in the excess rubber collected from the track so no damage to the tire. I only went on the Hungaroring track so I am glad I collected this screw and not somebody actually racing over there.
This is one of the disadvantages of buying expensive track tires. If you manage to puncture them there are a lot of money lost...
Top Cat:
Are they your new Direzza's ! :surprised: i used to get quite a bit of tread beading with mine but not as much as that, i thought your car was a fair bit lighter than my GTI.
Perhaps i wasn't trying hard enough. :rolleye:
rex:
Well, It should be a little bit lighter than a GTI. But the rear should be identical...
Those are the rear tires and I always collect rubber with the rear tires. In fact, I have more rubber on the rear tires at the end of the track day than in the beginning :evilgrin:.
Maybe you didn't push hard and the rear tires never got warm enough to collect a lot of rubber...
Anyway... I don't think this is a good indication of how fast we are going. It might be that there is not much rubber on the track for us to collect...
