Fair enough, and maybe for some a legitimate complaint if you want to point to something non-performance related (talking everyday driving here not the occasional track visit) Point being the media’s take on the infotainment system is overblown, tired, and BS to a large degree; and here was just another example of that.
I have 8R. Was on TMP for the first time in February in winter tires :D 8R is very different in fact from GTI but also from classic f-biased AWD like 7R, A45/34, old rs3. You need a different skillset for that car to be fast. It rotates under throttle when you feel understeer out of the corner, but not in BMW way, very strange feeling. But it rotates and pulls you out of the corner like crazy. See you on track :) Also I think the part of this feeling is narrow winter tires :D

After owning one for two years, I can say there are shortcuts to turn off those functions. Additionally you shouldn't have to turn the assist braking functions more than once. You just put it into sport mode, then press on the globe in the top left corner while the menu for drive mode is still up and access the ESC from there. Its a three click process that I can do easily while driving even.
The tips for turn 2 I'm going to try to sprinkle in my next track day at tmp. I dnt have anything near this power level but I definitely get the car to rotate.
Great car, myself i am Golf 8R driver and want to track my car, what are essential mods for this (despite wheels, brake pads)? In the movie it is mentioned that locking kit is essential for mqb? Why is that?

Dynamically, it's almost identical to my stock 2017 Honda Civic LX sedan with 6MT (and EBC breaks). Fast time is from breaking earlier and turning into grass (just before the apex) and using the rotation to power out. For my new Elantra N (traded Civic for it), early turn-in (with breaking) would not work cause the car is tuned to rotate from simple deceleration... I like how this MK8 tune better, since you get the best of both world...a stable rear end for oh-shit moment (or quick transission) and still can rotate enough with front-drive breaking technique.
I assume you hit the over-boost button when your foot smashed the accelerator padel hard. Then it caused the downshift. If not that’s going to be a very interesting TCU and need someone unlock it as soon as possible so bad
Yeah, we need to deal with it asap. 2nd is too aggressive and chews up the tire… just spins it. I need to keep it in third. Working on it! Work in progress!
I think the reason why it kept downshifting on you is you’re clicking on the gas pedal. Meaning you’re really foot to the ground (activates auto-downshift. Stock tcu tune). I’m sure the owner knows not to do this. Also it can be tuned off if the owner hasn’t yet. Nice driving
I had to zoom in when you took over the car and see if you selected D or S for the transmission. I did notice you selected D instead of S I wonder if that had anything to do with the auto downshifting issue you had. I know in manual mode it doesn’t let you bang limiter it auto upshifts so I wonder if it auto downshifted because you previously had it in drive instead of sport and it wanted to do less aggressive shifting/driving. I’m no expert lol my wife just bought a 24 SE GTI dsg so I’m learning as we go but that’s all I could think of. It also seemed like it was shifting rather slow too. Idk if that was a result of being in D instead of S before switching to manual mode. Not sure if it makes a difference on speed of shifts too. It sounded rather slow on the upshifts. But idk if that’s because you can hear it better with the exhaust. Hers is completely stock and when in S or S then M it feels like it shifts a lot faster and more aggressively

Shift after 6000 RPM is very slow, stock TCU is not happy for any power upgrade, anything higher than what I have right now on track the clutch will just give up won’t shift and slipping
@@haojunliangcc weird man, has this always been an issue or is this specific the MK8? The 7/7.5s I see getting beat on seem to take the abuse well enough
@@GolfCoyote there is no tcu tune for the mk8s after 01/2022 due to it being locked. Ive definitely noticed the more performance mods ive done the more the stock tcu tune feels like sh!t the shifts feel super sluggish
@@bmw_for_life8902 Anything higher thant 280WHP is not driveable on the track, even with very low torque map, when doing hard braking and downshift in the same time and get on power very quickly the clutch will slip or the car will jump out of gear when doing corner exit. Need a TCU tune to fix this issue
This car has arguably the best Endless 660 fluid with Endless MA45B pads, the best of the best… run on GT3 class 8-24h endurance race cars. To add, the stock caliper is more than capable. You will hear the owner mention that he has AP racing 9668 calipers on order, which I believe to have been installed this week. The only reason for these is not about pure stopping power, but rather, to get a caliper that does not have dust boots, which can melt with intense track use.

Your chill driving is faster than me trying my absolute best by 3 seconds 😅. Taking notes…
I’m sure no body gonna take my “ mostly stock” statement seriously😂 0:28
Leo is such a liar 😂
My car is stock too.

Thanks for the detailed data! Do you mind sharing the general alignment settings, suspension height (front & rear), and tire pressures this car used?
You don’t have to dig into settings to turn off assists.
Just make it a favorite task and it’s a single button press.
Not with emergency assist and auto brake

I'm not a big VW fan but this car is beautiful. Id rock this. I prefer my 23 Civic Si but strictly because of it being a manual.
Anyone else just get mind blown more and more video after video? LOL... I need a sway bar and I need to learn how to drive...
Are you local? Come out to Ontario time attack school. I’ll be instructing. Would love to connect with as many of my viewers as possible.

Very practical real world info . Tremendous work 🎉
Thanks a lot 😊! Glad you liked it!!!
Awesome video! Now get this GTI sponsored by Zojirushi

Can’t wait to get my mk8 prepped for more aggressive driving
Such a capable and fun car!!❤

You can turn off the emergency assists with the side button on the stock steering wheel. Way faster
Great content and edit! This car even looked fast from the sidelines! (seeing myself in the background a couple times LOL)

That is exactly it. In D, even if you manually shift, it will go back to auto after a while of not shifting.
He is probably just pressing the kickdown button, every automatic car will downshift with kickdown.
From what i see. the shift and downshift is really sluggish. It really needs a DSG tune
Just wait! We are dialing this thing in!!!!
Nice drive!!, no tune Ecu or Tcu? :)
Transmission needs a tune for sure! We are DIALING THIS THING IN!!!
Where did you get the carbon fenders from and how was fitment and installation

Is the engine stock? Because it sounds like it is not
It has an exhaust and a tune.
@@DriversPaddockis it safer for engine to go with DP? Lower EGT? Because this car sounds not great with exhaust- looks pretty loud.
No worries, anyone watching this video probably is driving a “stock” car

Is it just me or did those gear shifts seem sluggish? They didn’t seem as quick/crisp as the normal MK7/MK8 autos.

This is better than a GR Corolla

@@arctictruck10 golf r might be the better buy… I’ll leave it at that 😉
stupid carbon everywhere and stock brakes :S
1st mod for track=big brakes
Stock brakes does the job, bigger brakes wont make your lap time faster, most of the time make you slower if you go too big.
