Vw New Beetle: Performance Handbook (Performance Handbook Series) - Softcover

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.
