Get one of those $10 Wal*Mart pumps, plugs into your lighter. 40psi should work.

If it understeers too much, drop rear pressure by 1 to 2 psi.

Tried today for my course, 42 front 40 rear is nice, i m stupid i forgot to turn off esp before...

before i start, my last run is with esp off
so i can set some oversteer at slalom
but i m still slow, hehehe, coz my first time for this car in autocross...i just regonize this aint a good autocross machine and the weight transfer is crazy if esp off, compare to my integra...maybe the 1.8T is so heavy in everyway

Definately too plump for Auto-X. Maybe in the wet...
