Well I was just wondering what color is the filter for the Hks intake now... So far I seen yellow, purple and red. Do I choose the color filter when I order the intake, or do I just get a random color....

 

its whatever color u want it to be

 

wait im confused... does it come with more then one colored filter...?

 

you can change the filter element. I've had them all! so far purple is my favorite!

 

Hey I got a ? for ya

those Fuse and ECU cover, are those *real* carbon fiber or just *plastic* with the carbon fiber look on ?

 

good god clean up that purple wire mess!!!! why don't you try tucking those things under the factory wire looms. looks like a bad bowl of spaghetti!!

 

where do I buy the filters, or do they come with all 3 colors

 

haha u kidding me ...its a grounding kit. I cut it to fit like that....

 

u have to buy them from an authorized hks dealer

 

deedub you make me sad. a fellow hks junkie is selling his car. i can't forgive you!

 

Autobacs USA sells the different colored filters.

 

Hks Junkie # 3 here...lol

I should be selling my KN intake soon to get the HKS...

I bought the grounding kit also, so I think i'll go with the purple filter

 

I must be missing something here. Why the grounding kit?

hahah i keep getting shyt from everyone..hahaha

 

I also have a grounding kit but I tucked it cleanly under the factory wire looms. with the battery cover on you can't even tell the grounding kit is installed.

 

here is my ground wire install. nothing showing. and I know I have the K&N v1. I installed one of the factory screens and idles smooth. Don't even mention heat soak. That HKS intake looks like a metal box radiating all kinds of heat. To me not worth the price for a shiny metal box. But that is my opinion. Pic quality is poor took it with my cell.

 

if you look at deedubb's car, the negative terminal has a connection circle.

does your grounding kit have that? probably not if you followed the factory wires.

the position of the circle is elevated above the height of the battery cover.

 

no I did not use the "circle" that came with the grounding kit. I replaced the factory terminals with multipoint termials and was able to tie the ground kit directly to the new ground terminal. I also left the factory ground wiring intact. I am not saying that he installed it incorrectly, just could have done it a bit neater..

 

if u call neater hiding it so that nothing is showing, then by all means, that's fine. But a grounding kit will do practically nothing for our car in general, aside from headlight idle stability, so having it there is pointless. A grounding kit for the rx8 is only to dress up the engine bay. That's all.

 

Ok so don't get one... jeesh... just keep your car stock and drive it on Sundays...

 

lol. that's what im saying. didn't need to get it if the goal wasn't to dress up the engine bay...

 

ok, we appreciate your suggestion but on my end it's just a suggestion that I will not follow. Obviously we ( me and ngo) did it just to dress the bay up a lil. As ngo stated it does nothing but add under the hood bling so why waste my time tucking it and hiding something that will never be seen? Again it does nothing (for our car anyway) but stabilize the lights and electronics.

 

plus its kick *** purple... and it adds about 42hp =)

 

Ok double negative. contradicting yourselves. if it does nothing then it would not stablize the electrical system. but then I am not an expert on all things RX-8...
