Mods for Traction
GNJ_Motorsport:
All good advice. You shouldn't be getting much traction issues on a standard K03 GTI. Once you do start tuning though an anti lift kit and some good suspension like the Bilstein B12 will help with traction and handling the extra power. A limited slip diff as later on.

A good read. I was wondering the same as the op before

Fair play to redrobin you put your point across very well and hats of to the OP for being gracious enough to receive it. I haven't been on any driving courses, however as this is my first performance motor I have learnt a lot myself.
I no longer try planting my right foot and turning the steering at the same time....the tyres simply can't turn and car and put all the power down at the same time. Sounds simple but coming from a "shopping trolley" there was a lot for me to learn.
If the roads are even slightly damp I don't bother with standing starts as I'm simply burning mm's of tyre tread. Ive learnt to get the car of the line first before applying more power.
Not trying to be patronising but this wasn't immediately obvious to me....six months later I don't even think about it!

The reason I posted was because I was suprised that I was getting wheel spin in second gear on a dry road with a standard car. I was considering a stage 1 remap but to me it sounds like a bad idea because I like the idea of being able to put your foot down and know that the grip will be there. I guess the only way I'm going to be able to do this is to get a 4wd car.
I do like the GTI though so will keep it for now but I will be interested at 4wd offerings in the future like the S3, Golf R etc.
the bruce:
LSD and you won't miss 4WD.
