Re: time for a new clutch

OK, you got me on the pressure plate specifics, but you do understand 
my point.  I do like the feel of the 210mm clutch system over the 
190mm system that the '80 rabbit came with.  I have driven a car with 
the "race" clutch set-up, and I thought it was pointless.

My Scirocco is putting out 120-130Hp (I guess) and the 210mm clutch 
is just fine.
