Content description.....

The VW Golf GTI, launched in 1975, was the blueprint for the 'Hot Hatch'. Combining performance and good looks with practicality, the Golf won instant acclaim and, now on its fifth generation, has become one of the most prolific and modified cars of all time. The car instantly won favour with tuners and modifiers, and today the Golf remains one of the most popular project cars with performance tuners. A thriving support structure of clubs, specialist magazines and parts suppliers ensures that the Golf, in all its forms, will remain popular with tuning enthusiasts for many years to come. This book explains what to look for and what to avoid when buying a car. Advice on buying parts, both new and secondhand. Suspension, steering, braking system and gearbox modifications. Detailed engine modifications, including cylinder heads, fuel and ignition systems, cooling systems, exhaust systems, clutch and flywheel. Extensively illustrated using example cars and engine builds. Majoring on GTI models, but covering all Golf models, including diesels.
