has anybody fitted one of altezzas hks replica fmic kits to their cars.im interested on how much surgery is needed to fit one as the guy who markets them doesnt know.tried to find hks fitting instructions with know joy.any help would be greatly received guys.

bump!

Very doubtfull mate, they only officially brought that replica out a few weeks a go. Personally am dubious, but then i generally am if someone copies an original item and manages to make it for half the price. Whilst I understand you pay for the HKS brand with their products, quality does come at a price :)

cheers

the guy told me via e mail hes sold the first batch and is due a second.sent me a picture and its identical in every way.even comes with twin pops.i must say all the brackets and hoses look well made,but it is only a picture.the pic he sent is not a hks ones as it has a guys leg in the frame!!!

Yep am sure the pics do it make it look good, however it boils down to quality of alloy used, loads of different grades. Quality of the welding, the actual cooler core type used and design off, again different types all offering different pros an cons. As for the filters, for past couple of years there have been copies of these filters floating around and the foam was best used for washing dishes rather than filtration.

All am saying is, be cautious, it is a cheap price for a lot of goods and a lot of work in fabricating the kit, so something has to have been skimped on.

Oh and saying all sold out is a good business statement, they actually emailed me a couple weeks ago asking me to sell them on their behalf and they were at least 10 days away from launch. :) erm i didn't take them up on the offer...

cheers mate.can see where your coming from.do altezza have a good name in general?.

As advertised in Jap Performance. The "picture" does look good for the money though.

Oh aye heard nowt really bad about em bud, i decided that with the price i could have got em for and they would still be making a profit on that, then i would question the quality even more so, besides i got a reputation to uphold.

:D :D

cheers
