Here's what a 245/40-17 Bridgestone RE11 looks like after 18mths on the R - over 200 autox runs and 8k street miles. I run 40-44 PSI hot on a well setup car. Note that there's minimal indication of excessive scrub or rollover. These tires are wearing great and were good enough for top pax time in a 60 car field at a recent local event

think I actually have been running my dunlaps at 36 front 38 rear cold maybe a couple psi more, can't remember since its been so long. It usually gains a couple psi (think it was getting to 40 all around hot) on the first run and I bleed back down to that point.
After a vigorous break-in and draining the factory fill oil at 1409 miles, added Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40 and then drove on a 5000 mile vacation from Wisconsin to the Pacific Northwest and back.
I replaced the spark plugs earlier. The new spark plugs is NGK PFR6Q from Checkers. It is gap @ .032. The old spark plugs are the very cheap Autolite. The previous owner probably tried to save money, but it end up cause me a lot of trouble. The gap of Autolite plugs are more like .042. I drove it a couple blocks I installed the NGK, and it felt better.
OEM Volkswagen of America has the best battery for your Corrado. It's currently $110 and worth that ****. You look at the top of my battery, it says Manfacture Date December 2005. This thing has gone through hell and back. Everytime, it has cranked that starter with no issue.
Changed the plugs, and while changing them noticed that there was a little charring in two of the coil paks seating surface where the spark plug tip sits...after changing the plugs the car still felt like ****. Ran to Advanced....and they showed 2 cylinders not firing good, needless to say they only stocked one coil pak. I replaced it and the car ran like a champ.
I just did my 11yo GTI headlights with Meguiars and love how it works. I did wet sand it a little first before polishing.
I just redid the front suspension on my GTI and used Meyle ball joints. The quality, fit, and feel is excellent.
application is for 87 16v scirocco with 210mm 28 spline clutch. non dampened is cheaper and i would think it would mean it does not have the center springs in it but all the pics always shows that both discs have the springs. so does anyone know the difference? or has anyone used the non dampened without any ill effects?
I switched from the 3D to the Revo1 last year and I regret the purchase... The Revo1 is a better tire from a snow perspective but in all other aspects it's terrible! On dry roads the Revo1s wander and track all over the place, are extremely loud, are very slow on initial turn-in, and wear very quickly! In rainy and slushy conditions they are downright scary!!!
