Pirelli Tires
Veegubble U
  • Grip:
  • Noise:
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 4.0

I have the Pirelli Nero M&S. A very good tire in all regards. Quiet, smooth, decent ride, wet and dry capabilities, and they last a long time compared to MXes or Azenis.

Pros: quiet, smooth, decent ride
Cons: not good in snow

Sachs Clutch kit
MJM Autohaus
  • Slip:
  • Engagement smoothness:
Rating 5.0

The SACHS VR6 228mm clutch kits (one of our more popular sellers) are very stout and can take quite a beating, yet still retain a very factory OE feel. After all, they are the VR6 OE clutches! Even though these are the SACHS OE clutch kits, a lot of VR6 all-motor drag racers run this clutch kit. Rated at near 290 ft/lbs of torque, this clutch kit is one of best VR6 clutches available for stock, mildly modified, and non-force inducted MK3s.

Pros: stout, factory OE feel

MOTUL Gear oil
QcGTI
  • Noise:
Rating 5.0

Why I am writing a review about this gear oil, because since I owned this car shifting into second gear on cold morning has been a little bit hard. And last week when I went to my mechanic for an oil change as usual he used full synt Motul oil 5w40 and he suggest me to use motylgear 75w90 gear oil. REVIEW... Before: when it's below 10C outside or on the morning for the first 5 or 10 minutes it's hard to shift in second gear. Most of the time I try to rev match or shift in third skipping second gear. Even after 10 minutes sometime I get a nice grind in second gear. Now: Yesterday it was about 2C in the morning and the improvement is about 60% better and only after 2 minutes it was shifting like butter. Everything seems to be a lot more smoother and safer. I don't feel like I am going to break something when I shift in second gear, to be honest I am very surprised and happy.

Pros: shifting like butter, more smoother
Cons: hard to shift, nice grind

Girling Brake caliper

The dual piston calipers seem like a great upgrade, and in theory they are, but the actual difference in stopping power between them and the corrado single piston calipers isnt noticeable. The extra unsprung weight of the dual piston caliper is also a drawback.

Pros: great upgrade in theory
Cons: stopping power not noticeable, extra weight
Vehicle: Volkswagen

BRIDGESTONE Tires
ytqm
  • Grip:
Rating 2.0

After this mornings hellish commute in this monsoon, I am having second thoughts about the Bridgestone RE950's. This is coming upon the end of my first summer with these tires and they are getting scary in the rain. I drove the hell out of the OEM Michelins until they would hydroplane at 40mph. These Bridgestones are wearing much faster than I thought. The dry road handling is still terrific, but wet weather leaves a bit to be desired.

Pros: terrific dry road handling
Cons: scary in the rain
Mileage: 21000 km
