Default How much interest

I'm thinking of starting to carry some Hyundai performance parts, and also make some in house stuff as well for the community. However I'm looking to see what kind of interest there is out there and on what particular items and what 'buyers' would like to see.

We can do anything from full-on performance shortblocks or longblocks, engine mounts, transmission mounts, LSD's, gears, custom clutches, underdrive/overdrive pulleys, custom headers, intake manifolds, engine management systems, turbo kits, basically you name it providing there is enough interest.

I guess i'll leave it at that and see what we get for interest and responses.

EMS, IM, and LSD for my Accent 1.6l would all be good.

hmmm, i was kinda hoping for more input and interest on items people would like to see available. I can do 1 off items if anyone wants, the cost is usually alittle higher but I'm willing to work with anyone in the community on things.

unfortunately with out more initial support things are just not really going to start rolling. There has to be alot of interest in order for a company to take the time out and design, test and mass produce things. I'm willing to do what i can but in reality its more or less going to be just one off orders unless there is a big spike in interest. With the rising costs of materials these days it just doesn't pay to get a run going and have to sit on a bunch of stuff for who knows how long.

Im in the same boat as 187: EMS, IM and LCD. Unless there are some cams you can make theres really nothing else that needed other than a turbo setup. The little Accent just needs some breathing room to help it along as well as some air forced down it narrow throat lol.

3 digit price non-intercooled turbo kits, remapped ecu for the alpha 1.6L and LSD,

remapped ecu is the most desired out of almost everyone, who else doesn't want simple plug and play horsepower?

I've seen "bolt on" turbo kits for many other cars, I'd snach one up in a heartbeat for the 1.6 DOHC if anyone ever made one.
