What did you do to your mk7 today?

Genuine question (no snark intended, I promise): it's possible to tell a difference in 1 psi? Maybe I'm not being precise enough filling up but I feel like that's within my margin for "meh, close enough". But I'm also on stock 225 Potenzas so generally will be a garbage ride no matter what I guess.

You’re not one with the tires…🪷

I can never follow these tire posts, connected, planted, compliant, or whatever. I put in the recommended and drive.

Even in autocross, either I slide to much or I don’t. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not so much in ride difference but once you're tuned the wrong tire pressure will result in extra spin or wheel hop. And since changing tire size to 235 in February I've been looking for the sweet spot, 34-35 is looking like it (was doing 37 on 225's)

Pushed my tires, engine, brakes, and PCV hard today at a very fast autocross.

Exceeded expectations, met expectations, surprisingly didn’t fade, and let me down — in that order.

(Won STH though — all 2 of us — by .023 sec )

Time to try some new PCV valves and/or maybe a different catch can setup.

Prepped the Macan calipers for G2 paint.

Looks awesome. OEM-ish and not over the top imo. Any pics with bumper cover reinstalled?

I will be installing the bumper cover today and doing the rear street diffuser. Will get pics up when I'm finished.

Ordered a fresh set of Hawk pads and got some bolts, spacers, and washers for the Recaros.

EDIT: Also ordered a new BFI shift boot & E-Brake boot to match the red in the new seats.

Hope it wasn’t Hawk 5.0…. Mine are dusty as a cowboy coming in off the range

I'm really needing a good low dust street pad recommendation. The stocks are so dusty......

It is, but I'm used to it.

Come grab my BM and see if that works for you. It very rarely smoked.

Just quoting this for posterity

But more seriously, yeah I probably will

They’re not cheap but I’ve been happy with my iSweep IS-1500 pads up front.
