HKS Carbon Evo's only flaw

Did anybody else realize that when the HKS evo first came out the window banner read "Powerd by HKS" and they fixed it in time for the second round of pictures...

Just find it hilarious that a company that makes amazing products and super quick Time attack cars can't spell. Or maybe just a bad case of engrish?

Ever think the printer (person, not machine) made a mistake? I don't think the tuners printed that out of their OBD-II scanner. Get on with life, oh Righteous Spelling Bee Champion of the World.

Jeez did you ever think that what I would say would hurt some HKS employees feelings, just pointing out something thats amusing. I am on with life, and im not that great of a speller, I think you should maybe just find something better to do then bash people on evom. Even if a person who printed it, im guessing they saw the banner before it went on the car....

I bash people off EvoM, too so don't feel too good about it. Anyways, you'd be surprised if you knew how well (poorly) things were actually checked before implemented out there. Funny stuff.

What I find funny as hell is that you're ripping on them for mis-spelling something. By the way, when typing company, make sure you hit the y, not the t.

I dont think he was ripping anyone . . i think he was just pointing out something funny. Its easy to miss pell things when typing. I do it a lot at work because i should be working and not posting. I dont have time to pull a rough draft and then edit it before finally posting it For EvoM. Its obvious it was an error some how because it was fixed for the second set of pics. not bashing anyone just my .02
