Probably the same reason it's easier to import overseas cars into Canada than it is to the US.

 

So how does it differ from a oem part to the dealer say the $900.00 flywheel, or the oem iridium sparkplugs.

 

I believe there was a special deal between NextGen MotorSports and some Canadian dealers to provide some aftermarket performance packages. I don't know if it was sanctioned by Hyundai or if it was strictly a deal with the dealerships involved. It may have been a pilot program to test the waters before a larger program was considered for the US.

 

Since when was it easier to import overseas cars into canada? You guys are the one with R34 Skylines, we can't have overseas imports unless they are 15yrs or older and have all required modifications done to them.

 

There are a few R34 skylines in the US but that has stopped.
They were imported by a single company called AutoRex. they have since gone under and no other company has been able to aquire the rights to do the modifications needed.
It is definately easier to bring older cars into Canada though. I have sever friends that have some really nice imports from Japan.

 

There is an aftermarket parts catalog here in Canada, heres the online web site:
Hyundai - Performance Parts

They should have the rest of the Genesis Coupe catalog up in the early to mid summer, but now they only have a few little cosmetic things.

As for warranty concerns, you will need to pay for repairs up front and submit to Hyundai Canada for reimbursement. Just like if you were a Canadian, traveling in the US and your car broke down there. This information was as of around 2004~2005 when I decided to do an across North America trip to Cali for giggles sake.

Keep in mind too, that Canadian is 5 years 100,000 km (62,000ish miles) and the US is 10 years 100,000 miles.

 

in regards to that..hyundai is in the stages of setting up HPP their performance line... hyundai as well has a few aftermarket parts for many of the models in cluding our Gen's.....full hyundai cat back kits drop late may 2009

 

as Rudy said, Hyundai Canada setup HPP last year ... they are also looking at NGM SC kit for the Beta engines.

SC kit with the warranty ... that would be sick!

 

indeed it would....
im looking for the bigger turbo upgrade for our cars haha
