K&N Air filter

I've had the K&N in my V6 for the last 50,000 miles without any problems. When it came time to clean it I let it dry thoroughly (over 24 hours) before oiling, lightly oiled it, and let it soak in thoroughly before installing.

Pros: no problems, good longevity
Cons: requires careful cleaning/oiling
Mileage: 50000 km

Rating 4.0

I have been running 195-50-15 P700Z's on my 81 MKI Scirocco. They ride pretty well on the freeway for low profile tires. Tire noise is not bad. Cornering power is good in the dry. I wore out the fronts first and bought two more. The tire is a bargain and good all around performance for the price.

Pros: good cornering power, good performance
Cons: more stick in the wet

OPTIMA Battery

The VW battery tray in the 91 GTI is trying to eat my Optima The little bracket that stays in the car that normally holds the bottom lip of the battery is cutting through the case of the Optima because of the 6-pack design of the case. I had to use a small section of wood to put between them to keep it from cutting it any worse. The tie down bracket that can be removed from the car doesn't fit the Optima very well either, again because of the the 6 pack case shape. I had to use a grinder wheel to grind a section out of the bracket so it would fit around the cylinder shape of the case.

Cons: bracket cutting battery case
Vehicle: Volkswagen
