The VW Golf GTI in all its many forms has remained the definitive "hot hatch," often copied but rarely bettered. It is a modifier's dream, and has spawned a huge aftermarket tuning industry producing a vast array of components to suit both chassis and engine.

The Golf has also been produced in a variety of less powerful versions, most of which are ideal as a basis for tuning, and many Golf parts are also found in other VW/Seat/Skoda and Audi models too, increasing the scope of this manual.

Written in down-to-earth language, this manual is intended to be a practical enthusiasts' guide to realistic Golf tuning. Full of information and advice gathered over nearly 20 years of experience modifying Golfs at TSR Performance, advice is provided on all levels of modification, from modified road cars to championship-winning competition Golfs, and is essential reading for enthusiasts yearning to extract extra performance from their Golfs.

• A guide to buying the right model to modify
• Engine modifications, including cyclinder heads, camshafts, exhaust systems, cooling systems, ignition systems, clutches and flywheels
• Suspension, steering, braking system and gearbox modifications
• Practical information on recognizing different models and parts, and interchangeability of parts
