What does HKS Stand for

[KiDyNomiTe]

I was wondering what HKS stand for (if its in Jap tell me anyway)?

[takumi123]

It's the intials of the owners that started it.  Led by Hiroyuki Hasegawa, a former engineer for Yamaha Motor Company, and his partner Mr.Kitagawa, the two secured a capital infusion from Sigma Automotive Co., Ltd. (hence the name “HKS ”), and began tuning gasoline powered engines in a dairy-farming shed at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan.

haha where does it say that?

[Jeff240sx]

I'll be damned. &nbsp;They changed the site around. &nbsp;I haven't looked on there in a LONG time. &nbsp;It used to be the FAQ section. &nbsp;Most were about the parts, but one was "What does HKS stand for?" &nbsp;And they said "HKS does NOT stand for Hong Kong Sports..."
LOL.

ya thats y i wanted to know but i cant find the contest. If anyone finds it post it on the board. I believe anyoen who sends it wins, I dont think its a pick one out of the crowd. You win liek a package for HKS (like posters and little accesories)
