Herbst Tuning Catalog

I was able to acquire an original Herbst Tuning catalog in Europe and get it here… a few sheets of paper that were taken care of for 30 years then flown over the ocean… imagine that.

Most of you know I drool over anything Bernd Herbst did with his company HTN in the 80s-early 2000's

I made 30 1:1 copies of the catalog filled with amazing information you will not find anywhere else. All in German, enjoy using google translate to see what it says! It's fun!

Anyway, here's the intro from Bernd himself, I translated it for you-

"Dear motorsport friend,

We would first like to thank you very much for your interest in our tuning program.

We only understand tuning to increase the performance of the engine. We therefore primarily deal with the design, development, manufacture and processing of engine parts for racing. Of course, our area of responsibility also includes the new construction and overhaul of racing and road engines. We have therefore not included any spoilers, fender flares, other equipment or other accessories in this list. However, we are also happy to help with the procurement of such parts.

We have specialized in VAG engines, although most of the parts and processing listed can also be offered for other engine types. We are thanks to our know-how, our own machine park and, last but not least, our qualified staff

able to also produce individual pieces, as well as small and larger ones

Process quantities.

The experiences from the racetrack flow directly into our production. We also take into account the most popular customer requests. We calculate all parts and processing as machine components.

"Racing surcharge" is a foreign word for us! This means for our customers: low prices with the highest level of precision and quality. We consistently avoid such sensationalism and other cost -intensive trappings. Clean craftsmanship is therefore the focus of all the measures we carry out

We have included a variety of tuning parts and performance -enhancing modifications in this list. This allows you to create an individual composition. We deliberately do not provide any performance information until we can take a realistic position on this once all the measures to be implemented have been determined.

After looking through the list, you will probably still have questions about tuning in general or would like further information in detail.

After making an appointment in advance, we can advise you personally in our company . Maybe you too will soon be part of the big circle

our satisfied and successful customers.

with motorsport greetings"

Bernd Herbst
