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.

This review is from: VW Golf Performance Manual (Haynes Performance Manual) (Hardcover)

This was very helpful with parts and components that can be bought to upgrade your Golf. Not a how-to but just a book that describes very basically the parts needed to build your Golf up to great performance. And most is affordable and can be done at home in your driveway. Read this then follow your Bentley on how to build or repair these parts. Or seek a pro's hand for some real tough jobs.
