Project: ’04.5 GLI
“I’m not going to mod it” were the words uttered when this car was first purchased seven years ago. The GLI being the epitomy of the Jetta mark, coated in that candy Tornado red paint, made for a beautiful sight off the showroom floor. Naturally it would make sense to attempt to preserve it’s original [...]
Project: TTS-SF
Recently Black Forest Industries was contacted to provide our Stage 1 Engine mounts for a high profile Audi TTS build which was featured on Fourtitude.com. A thorough documentation was conducted as the TTS went from showroom stock to heavily modified using only the best products from the aftermarket. The owner of this TT , Jason [...]
Project: Corrado SLC 3.0l
After the 5th Corrado you would think any sane person would stop wasting time , money , and sweat on a car that generally offers little more than a promise of something special. Fortunately there are those people out there lacking in good sense who are willing to put up with the oddities that come [...]
Full Speed Ahead – APR STG 3 MK5 GTI
With the release of the MkV platform and it’s revered heart, the 2.0t, has come a new level of peformance and with that, higher expectations. The battle for tuning supremacy has never been fiercer and to stay on top it requires that one must stay as current as possible with emerging developments. Joe’s MkV, fitted [...]
TT-RS Parts Prototyping
When we got the call that a local customer had taken the plunge on a 2012 TT-RS we dropped what we were doing to get some firsthand measurements and experience with the highly anticipated Audi superstar. This particular titanium edition had not even finished its pre-purchase inspection by the time we arrived. First order of [...]
Berg-Cup MK1 Rabbit Project
Rarely do you ever see a MK1 that’s been rescued from imminent death at the hands of a careless and neglectful owner. Sure, there are those few at the shows that have been restored to their former glory but how often do you get the chance to lay eyes on one with purposeful and elegant [...]
18 Hour Swap: MK1 VR6
In just 18 hours using Eurowise’s MK1 VR6 conversion kit we transformed our tame little rabbit into a snarling beast. In that time-frame we removed both the motor from the donor car and our rabbit, installed the VR6 motor, fabricated a functioning and OEM appearing cooling system, wired the entire car and made other minor [...]
Phase 2 | Project A5 : Engine and Suspension
One word comes to mind when you first lay eyes on Black Forest Industries’ latest project Audi A5 2.0t, and that word is “evil”. With it’s brilliant red paint, angry L.E.D. eyes, and blacked out badge detailing it’s the kind of car that startles the traffic ahead into evasively changing lanes after catching a glimpse [...]
Project B8 S4 3.0TFSI
A long time customer of BFI recently had the fortune of upgrading from his B6 S4 to a brand new B8 3.0TFSI S4 sedan. While the B6 was an impressive car – with it’s thundering 8 cylinder bellow, we can’t help but be swayed by the overall refinement of the newer B8 platform. The chassis [...]
Project A5 2.0T
Black Forest Industries just recently acquired this 2.0T A5Q to do some product development on a the new B8 chassis, and also because it just looks damn good. Immediate modifications will include: BBS wheels, B&G Spring, APR Software, BFI wheel spacers, and other general cosmetic eviling
OEM+ 16V Jetta Coupe
When it comes to MK2s Matt has a bit of a weakness to say the least. Having owned and actually driven six different MK2s over the years he is no stranger to the quirky charms that make up one of the most popular VWs to ever be sold in these United States. In our opinion [...]
Killr BFI 2.0 Turbo
Our intentions with this car were to create a clean example of a MK3 without breaking the bank, while being able to utilize and showcase as many of our off the shelf parts as possible. While some liberties were taken and minor and significant modifications were made, we still feel as though we remained true [...]
Project Fox
A brief introduction to our new Project Fox. We travel to the drag strip to get some baseline quarter mile runs. All video filmed on an Iphone 4 -apologies for the sea sickness. Yes you read that title right, we at BFI have begun a new project and its a Fox drag car. The beast [...]
