are H.A.R.D Part's ever gonna be available? - Hyundai Performance Forums

TAK82 · 08-04-2005, 03:18 PM

we've been waiting for some time and time and time, and i don't know if there's been any new's from the HMC or HMA, but how much longer are we gonna have to wait?

Are HARD Part's going to be available or not?..I don't see any hyundai dealership knowing anything about it,

"Sigh" I wish hyundai really DID ave something like ralliart or TRD,
or even nismo,
if only they had an Factory performance group, it would've gotten a bit more recognition

it's awkward how they have a website about tuned hyundai car's and not learning something from it and launching a FPG or something,

Hyundai is truly Boring...:dead::sleepy::sleepy::sleepy:

Probably not

I feel that for a company like Hyundai, aftermarket parts are their last priority. Poor us!

Hyundai's way behind. Even Honda's had parts more than ten years ago.

i prefer to think of this in terms that they are building a rock solid foundation first, then moving on to something different instead of having a bunch of parts to go on crappy cars. in the meantime, there are many parts you can fit together on a hyundai if you look around. any real machinist or body shop can work with anything!

I hope I can help out a little bit. I have talked with Bill Smulo a few times in the past. For those who don't know BSE was a very well known engineering/manufacturing group for the racing industry and car manufacturing alike. Hyundai asked him to drop everything to design H.A.R.D. parts. Over the last few years BSE has designed parts that got the stamp of approval from Hyundai, but in this same time Hyundai has began to lose intrest in the program. At the last minute Hyundai pulled the plug on H.A.R.D. parts. There will be no Hyundai endorsed performance parts. But now BSE has all these parts made and I have just recieved a list of products. BSE does not want to do retail, he just wants to manufacture and distribute. The dealership I work for is working to be one of the few authorized BSE parts dealers. I don't have anything in stone right now, but I will keep everyon posted. As was warenty, these parts will be labeled for off-road use only, this may void your warenty, check with your dealer before installing any performance parts.

HMA Might as well pull the plug on their "TUNED" hyundai site..what's the point of that website,

if hyundai has no love for aftermarket support for factory cars..they suck BIG TIME for enthusiasts!
it's probably because every amercian or owners want's a hyundai that pamper's them when they drive..a/c leather,automatic everything.pffhh!!...aren't they all lazy?

hyundai want's to establish itself as a strong brand??then go after serious performance??

did the japanese do the same thing?quality first them factory performance parts?

HARD is a joke.

There are various aftermarket part suppliers, I'd go with them until anything happens.

Hyundai is much more concerned with selling cars than with supplying enthusiasts with a couple aftermarket parts with a warranty on them (one of the major factors for not having them from what I hear).

We'll see.
