^^^^

Make sure you do at least 500 miles (1,000 is better) before the event on those new F1's if they're Assymetrics - They take time to bed in.

The back ones have been on a month so might swap them around and it's in for a service next week, nice new oil and sticking a set of plugs in it while it's there  :smiley:

This may sound a little silly, but is anyone doing anything about their tyre pressures just before running up the strip?

Going to see what the conditions are like first and do a couple of runs as the car is normally.. Not expecting to be breaking any records though, as it's not going to be a grippy track this time of the year, that's for sure..

As Vtec says Id be doing a run on std pressures first then maybe try a bit lower later on.
Ironically if its cold (lol) , damp/wet or even snowing ( :grin:) then switching back to a stock map you may be quicker  :confused:

Then you won't be running full stop mate, as the strip will be shut.. :sad: One big risk we're all taking with it being Feb.. But fingers crossed it'll stay dry mate..  :wink:

....I'm advised it's good practice on a remapped 2.0T FSI to change plugs every 20k miles.

Mines on longlife and on time/distance service. Came up ready for service at 9400miles during christmas, car is booked in in a few days but has done just over 10k now. Have been taking it easy on the car and running stock map until its had its service :smiley:.
