    From personal experience HKS CustSvc is one of the best I’ve ever dealt with. I had an issue with a turbo kit and they not only helped me diagnose the issue but overnight shipped me a new kit from Japan at their expense and had me keep the original. I wish more companies took customer service so seriously. Yes their parts are expensive but the ownership experience is worth every dollar imo

    Brings back memories, you guys forgot to mention the entirely raw carbon Evo 8, the one before the red one. They crashed it at Tsukuba i think but that thing was an icon at the time. It was prettier than the red one and was considered the fastest time attack car in the world after beating the green and yellow Subaru GC8 from Jun Auto Mechanic. Everything they used to make that car fast could be purchased from their shop, which was not the case for the Altezza which was unofficially "disqualified" because of it's racing only nature. honestly, I would have liked to see this video a bit longer and more in depth, these guys are the reason why cars like the Supra, Evo and WRX are so popular in the United States, without HKS they would still be good cars but not legendary like they are now.

      Yeah, Acura shouldn't have discontinued the RSX/Integra. Of course, it didn't have the sales volume of a Civic, but Honda/Acura never promoted their cool cars beyond enthusiasts, which if they did maybe they'd have the sames numbers to keep producing them. Same with Mitsu and the Evo.
