Dude, I've been in the video industry for 30 yrs and the quality of your videos is FANTASTIC . I don't think your subs realise how incredibly difficult it is to get the old footage and details you use to create these gems👍 Thank you ! 😃 PS : It looks like the Zero R No.3 is here in Australia, it's got New South Wales number plates at 16:38.

Correction for 17:15. The Zero R in Brunei is out in the wild running. TheFinalDrive has a video showcasing it and it's one of the top results.

HKS didn't just become a globally recognized tuner/parts company, they are seen in every corner of car culture. You can pop the hood of any tuner/muscle/euro/rock crawler/swamp buggy and see HKS parts.

Been a huge HKS fan ever since ripping the HKS GTR in Gran Turismo. Used their parts on my twin turbo BMW and never thought of HKS unless I was looking at the part - always worked flawlessly.
@shifty1927 2 місяці тому
Thats awesome. Around 2000 me and my pops started building an e36 328. The first part we got that I picked out was an exhaust from HKS.(when they made stuff for the e36) By 06 it was the first 1000whp example and first to run 9s.

What a legendary story. It kinda feels like HKS isn't as mainstream anymore (compared to where they were in the early 00s, and compared to other Japanese brands like GReddy). But in my head, that logo, with the 3 capital letters, will forever be synonymous with JDM.

Around 2000/2001 my dad and I started modding an e36 328. I got to pick out the exhaust so being a gran turismo/tokyo xtreme racer kid i picked the hks exhaust. And thanks to tokyo xtreme racer 0 having the trailer to the original Fast and furious we went to opening weekend with the car. Had been 5 speed swapped, m3 cams, chipped and exhaust by then. I felt like the coolest 13 year old ever.😂 By 06/07 it was the first to make 1000whp and to run 9s. And it all started with an hks exhaust. Makes me glad I grew up in the garage, dyno rooms and at the drag strip. Especially during what i consider the best era for car modification.

The HKS story is one worth telling. I was fortunate enough to work for HKS USA in the early-to-mid 90s and it was a wonderful era for Japanese tuners in Japan and abroad. HKS products were legendary, and their reputation for performance, quality and reliability was well deserved. I was glad to salvage some old video footage from my time there, and to snap the photos of the Zero Rs at the HKS Co. Ltd. facility when I visited there in 1993 during my trip to the Tokyo Auto Salon.
