Track Day tyre pressure.
insanity replied to Soot1e's topic in Racing and Advanced Driving Techniques
For drag racing, it is better to use lower pressure? It is better for the traction to have the tyres warm? How can I gain the most effective "launch" without launch control? I'm going to a race on the airport sunday and I still have a lot of questions I tried a lot lately, but I still don't know which is the best way to start. The best way I found so far is to have a steady 4000 rpm and declutch on green light but I'm getting a lot of smoke from the tyres and this means that I'm loosing precious time... Can u help me please? I have a beautiful Octy mk1 RS 225 bhp Thanks -

HELP!!! White smoke from exhaust...

white smoke means usually turbo fault -
You won't have a problem if you go lower than 20mm, my car is lowered 40 mm and it works just fine.

I have a map from upsolute, I had no problems until this thread Now I'm thinking to check the car on a dyno and see if the power is what they told me (218bhp) ...

Thank you guys The problem is the alternator, I'm not sure if this is the corect term, but it is charghing max 12.8 V. That's why I thought that the sparks or the coils are the problem. Next week I'll have a new alternator and I hope that everything will be alright Thank you -

I thought that the first sensor is the one who is takin' care of the oxygen and fuel mix. If I blank it, don't you think I'll have problems with overfuelling or maybe I'll have to much oxygen in the mix? -

The first sensor is the one before cat, or the one after? First time when I had a remap I didn't have the lambda sensor after the cat because the were flames on the exhaust when racing. I changed the map with one from "upsolute" and I instaled the sensor. I had no problem until 2 weeks ago :( -

I have a decat pipe from the turbo (THS) , I will do another vag-com test today... The CEL has been on since I have fitted the exhaust and it was no problem, until two weeks ago. -
Hello everybody, I have a big problem, although I changed the spark plugs and coils , when in full gas the car is sluggish between 3000 and 4000 rpm and the acceleration is not smooth. The check engine light is on because I have a milltek full exhaust and no cat. On vag-com the only problem is the lambda sensor located after the cat. It doesn't say anything else, maybe you can help. PS Please excuse my english, it's not that great in case you didn't notice Thank you
