Hello all,
I just picked up my first ever VW on the 20th of Nov, 2006, a white polo gti and so far I love it but sooner or later I will have to change some things as I dont like the lack of feel in the steering and I would also like some more power.
The power will come from a chip mod as I can see from this forum that they do the job. But as for the feel through the wheel I dont know. the car sits quite flat around corners but lacks feel and has a lot of initial softness. I am comparing it to my last car, a peugeot 205 gti which had amazing handling. One other thing, for handling would anyone know if 18 inch wheels with one size up in tyre size (not width) would be ok, the stock set reads 110kph when i am really only doing 102 and the dealer in Adelaide told me that this may be due to the fact that you can get larger weel/tyre sets over seas.
Thanks all,
Karl

The bigger issue is that no matter what size you go to above 16", you will still be restricted to 205 width tyres...so, what's the point
