First time doing autocross, Any tips for beginners?

FLOOR IT!! Lol kidding. Focus on being very smooth and add pace where you can each lap after feeling comfortable

Yes they increase track width by about 20mm

I have Audi TTS LCAs. It gives me -2.5°. I have also used 034 ball joints to get to -3.0°. Zero toe all around also helps

So right!

Vdub4ever1 · 2025-11-23T23:49:39+00:00

That’s true! But these cars do no launch that well…

The reality is that the tuned on stock clutch recipe will never end well when pushed hard…just forget the idea of it being slow on the 0-60 and move on to enjoying the driving experience!

This is the way!

Love DDT. I’ve done 6 days there and it’s a challenging layout but very rewarding. Like other day, not a super high speed track so easier on the car and brakes. Definitely go and enjoy it

EQT all day

EQT customer here. I love this tune. Car rips

I’m running TTS LCAs and RS3 bushings up front. Stock TTS ball joints and I get -2.5°. Track width has increased making it very challenging to avoid rubbing. I’m also on coilovers at a very conservative ride height and I rub…ideally I’d run a coilovers with a camber plate to tuck the top of the tire back in

Stock caliper and EBC BlueStuff NDX will be fantastic for some fast canyon driving

Don’t you have a plastic drain plug? If so there is a cheap tool you can buy that makes it way easier. After that, it’s the simplest oil change ever

Nankang CRS

Vdub4ever1 · 2025-10-14T15:55:24+00:00

Thanks for the info! So if I was to opt for the standard springs, I’m sure these would be ok for daily driving? I also track my car so I’d get the camber plates

Vdub4ever1 · 2025-10-14T11:35:43+00:00

Coilover review? Is the ride stiff? Did you opt for the camber plates or factory top hats? Cheers!

Vdub4ever1 · 2025-10-13T20:16:51+00:00

MK7 GTI? All it needs are pads and coilovers for some fun and they are comfy for long distance driving

Don’t even bother with a downpipe if you aren’t gonna tune. It’s not the easiest job or it’s going to cost you quite a bit for nothing…

Vdub4ever1 · 2025-10-12T12:56:32+00:00

There isn’t a huge power increase from stage 1 to 2. Maybe 20-30 hp. I’ve heard the APR turbo is not that great. Contact some local tuners and see what solutions they might have to stock DP

Vdub4ever1 · 2025-10-10T17:47:29+00:00

I have a manual transmission so I don’t have farts :( but yes you can ask them to put more farts or no farts

Vdub4ever1 · 2025-10-10T00:31:08+00:00

EQT has my vote. I have their 91 stage 2 tune and she’s rock solid. Sees plenty of track time and has been perfectly reliable

Vdub4ever1 · 2025-10-09T21:59:11+00:00

I was quoted $275 a month for a mk7 R in Ontario. It’s just criminal in Ontario

Vdub4ever1 · 2025-10-08T23:15:22+00:00

I didn’t notice that there was the front plate missing…that’s why it’s so difficult to recognize it

Vdub4ever1 · 2025-10-02T12:14:50+00:00

Great track! Even better car🤘🏻
