Your Volkswagen Beetle is not only the worlds most popular car, but a favorite for those of you who cant wait to wrench out every ounce of performance and handling from your Bug. This detailed guide shows you how to upgrade your Bug for total performance and reliability.

Before it even hit showroom floors in spring 1998, Volkswagen's New Beetle had do-it-yourself enthusiasts and potential buyers licking their chops for the opportunity to wrench every possible bit of horsepower and handling out of the dynamic, retro-looking package. The first comprehensive step-by-step, how-to performance handbook written specifically for owners of the New Beetle offers advice for upgrading engines, transmissions, suspension, and brakes, from inexpensive aftermarket tweaks to the ultimate street-performance parts and upgrades currently on the market. An authoritative text is accompanied by a wealth of explanatory photographs in both color and black-and-white.

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 favor 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 part suppliers ensure that the Golf, in all its forms, will remain popular with tuning enthusiasts for many years to come.
