The 328 is no where near ready for me to drive this weekend, so it looks like I'll be driving the vdub in HS/TIRe for this event. What tire pressures do I need to run? This will be my first time running a front wheel drive momentum car, so any advice is appreciated.

Try this:

LF 16 RF 47.23
LR 91 RR 36

Minor adjustments may be required. We can ask around at the HCMC meeting Thursday :lol2:

Roddddddnnnneyyyyyyy!!!
Just do what we tell the Noobs. Put 5# extra all the way around and bleed as required. You didn't say what kind of tires you're using. It will probably be trial and error. Significantly higher in front will cause you to push. Significantly higher in the rear will cause more rotation. Don't lift if things go bad, just point and shoot.(mat it!)

yeah, this is a bone stock Golf running on 195x15 falken 912's. NOT a good setup. I'll just be out there to have fun. I'll over inflate and go from there.

Or.....you could ask folks for co-drives! Life is too short to autox a bone stock Golf on crappy street tires.

I have a seat open if interested.

My problem is there is SO much stuff out there that I can't fit in, too tall in the upper body. A mini w/ a sunroof is a no go and I'm thinking Ryan's honduh would be the same. I appreciate the offers!

Miatas have unlimited headroom if your legs fit.

Tried that, I wind up looking directly at the top of the front window header

Even in Mike's MX5 I'm uncomfortable. I still don't see how Mike drives that beast.

Drive it like your mustang and you wont need to look out the front window :twisted:

You would be surprised, Vincent said it was easier to fit in than the Miata (he had to duck his head).

Ryan, if I can fit, I'll take you up on your offer to co-drive. Let's discuss off line....
