evoıx-hks
We've been die-hard HKS fans for longer than we care to remember. This EVO IX comes from an earlier chapter of Peak Garage, when our enthusiasm for HKS and Ralliart was already getting slightly out of hand. One look at the parts list should explain why.
CP pistons, Carrillo rods, a custom Cosworth crank, HKS camshafts, Norris Designs turbo and HKS F-CON Pro management. Then comes the Ralliart department: five-speed dogbox, front transfer, active differential components, front and rear LSDs, and plenty of smaller details. HKS GT intercooling, twin R-Type oil coolers, Öhlins suspension and AP Racing brakes round out a particularly extensive collection of hardware.
And at one point, we even had people from HKS standing in our workshop, looking at the car themselves. When you've admired a brand for that many years, moments like that tend to stick. Looking back at this project today, we'd probably still make many of the same choices.
