I was wondering what HKS stand for (if its in Jap tell me anyway)?

It's the intials of the owners that started it.  Led by Hiroyuki Hasegawa, a former engineer for Yamaha Motor Company, and his partner Mr.Kitagawa, the two secured a capital infusion from Sigma Automotive Co., Ltd. (hence the name “HKS ”), and began tuning gasoline powered engines in a dairy-farming shed at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan.

haha where does it say that?

I'll be damned.  They changed the site around.  I haven't looked on there in a LONG time.  It used to be the FAQ section.  Most were about the parts, but one was "What does HKS stand for?"  And they said "HKS does NOT stand for Hong Kong Sports..."
LOL.
