started the weekend with a flat tire on my barely used s03s..

notice the camber on em..

sheet metal screw on the tire was a prelude to a bigger problem found..

found this on both rear passenger and driver while taking out the tire to be patched...

hipermax two from rotaryextreme with 18s

the culprit...

didnt expect the arm to ride up high enough to affect the ports...

so the set were installed with the charge port facin the wheel....

mistake..

time to see what kind of service hksusa provides..

might prove to be difficult consider these set were imported and installed myself...

time to purchase new setup for replacement considerin the two events im scheduled to attend is this month..

doubt ill get them serviced in time for em... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

lookin to get one that has height adjustability without affecting stroke for the next set...

jio, is this a casting imperfection, or do you have that protrusion on both sides of the car?



you might want to advice joe to take a look at his setup also

both sides..

need to reinstall them facin the other way once fixed..

jio the knob is supposed to be on the other side!!!! you are supposed to reach/lay behind the car and adjust it...........HKS will warranty em BUT is all you need new knobs?

amp 06-05-2005 10:56 AM

the adjustment is on the top jon....

thought there was enough clearance for this port..

and placed them facin the wheel for accessability....

nothin on the install paperwork that adviced otherwise...

gonna need new ports and it filled...

vosko 06-05-2005 11:28 AM
