Went with the Altimax RT45 with my original wheels. Only 55 miles so far, but I’m pretty happy with them. They're not as responsive as my old Bridgestone RE950s, but handle reasonably well and are quieter and smoother.
I spent the day today putting fresh tires on (the rims to be replaced at a future date), replaced the plugs with 3-prong NGKs and ordered a new Bosch cap and rotor.
I have a Dynamax muffler I used that had low miles with a stainless tail pipe if you want that one. I had that one in my stock 16V and it sounds great!
Federal 595 RS-R. It's a very well priced tyre.
I use OEM oil filters and Mobil 1 15w50 oil on my oil burning autobahn buster Scirocco
I went to Art Center in Pasadena and used it for my commute to school. The rubber weather seals are starting to crack due to age and probably heat, but otherwise, its in great condition, but does not run. The BBS wheels were driven on for about a year with no curb rash. It has a Calloway turbo kit in it...one of the few remaining. I think that there are Bilstein shocks in it...which most items are probably not great anymore.
I have a stack of 25+ index cards filled with notes about the care and service of the car. The factory service manual has notes and highlighted areas all over it.
I have scirocco 10.1's up front and 8(?) discs out back with mk4 calipers. All four have Hawk HPS pads I believe. They're more than enough stopping power, OEM, and very affordable if you buy them on vortex, ebay, or a junkyard.
I bought a new Bosch coil from TT because the original in my '88 Scirocco 16V didn't have the exact readings the Bentley said it should have. The new coil didn't have the correct readings either according to the Bentley and it didn't make my Scirocco run better.
My current Bridgestone Potenzas have plenty of tread left, but developed sidewall cracks and need to be replaced.
