Kaizen Tuning LLC

We are very proud to announce Kaizen has partnered with west cost tuning supplier Harman Motive to bring you USA born speed products for Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Subaru.

“Harman Motive was founded by Dan Harman in 2004. Our first shop was a small 3000sq/ft garage dominated by a four-wheel drive dynojet. In the early days, it wasn’t uncommon to hear the dyno running early into the mornings while we plugged away to extract maximum performance from street Subaru’s. As word spread and the business grew, we expanded into Mitsubishi Evo’s, BMW 335’s, and other high-performance sports cars. From the beginning, our goal has always been to provide reliable performance coupled with strong customer relations. This goal remains to this day as the foundation of our business ethic and success.

In 2006, Harman Motive introduced its first line of performance exhaust systems. We have since added many designs and parts to our catalog. You’ll find that Harman Motive products offer excellent performance, unrivaled fitment, and quality engineering at great prices. At this time, Adan Quezada joined Harman Motive as the shop foreman and lead technician. Under Adan’s leadership, our service department continued to grow and we started designing more and more products. With this growth came the need for a new facility, and in 2007 we moved to a state-of-the-art 10,000sq/ft shop stocked with the latest tuning and fabrication equipment and tons of inventory from the greatest aftermarket manufacturers.

2006 also marked the beginning of our involvement in TimeAttack racing. We’ve had terrific success with three different vehicles – 2006 STI, 2008 STI, and 2008 Evo X. Our racing tradition is strong today with our multiple-championship winning 2006 STI driven by JC Meynet. You can follow the progress on the car in our racing blog here – http://www.harmanmotive.com/racing. Our track experience ensures our customers recieve parts and advice that have been proven in the hardest conditions possible.”
