Don't mean to be an ass,but those don't look like HKS cam gears.

They look more like stock cam gears that was machined to be adjustable.

turbored 08-11-2007 01:44 PM

R.S. Aizawa said they were HKS camgears, and I have no problem trusting them.

spike 08-11-2007 02:31 PM

I'm not calling you a liar,I don't like seeing people on this forum paying that kind of money for something that is not what it is.

To me they look like stock cam gears that were machined.

Don't believe everything anyone tells you(even in the tuning world).I think they lied to you(R.S Aizawa).

zoom2zoom 08-11-2007 08:35 PM

Spike is correct, those are not HKS cam gears. These are what they should look like http://www.2kracing.com/popup_image.php/pID/4203

turbored 08-12-2007 02:53 AM

Not exactly true. The ones you are referencing are newer HKS camgears. I know they're not just cut newer gears.

Uncle Arthur 08-13-2007 08:04 AM

They look just like my adjustable cam gear - and it's not HKS - it's a machined stock item.

I paid $60 AUD for one - so equate that back to USD.

turbored 08-30-2007 07:11 PM

You guys are wrong:

I did some research:

These are 1st Gen HKS camgears from back in the day when companies didn't make their own gears (if y'all can remember that far back).

You have been redeemed.

spike 08-30-2007 10:45 PM

O.K so we were wrong.But those cam gears have no vernier marks,so in other words they are just for looks.

turbored 08-31-2007 02:16 AM

not for looks. Why do you need vernier marks? If you're dyno tuning it, it is irrelevant what the marks say, it's all about what the dyno says.

MX_Eva 08-31-2007 12:44 PM

Which is to say again that though they may be HKS if they are that old (aka...over 10 years) Why sell them at more than NEW HKS cam gears cost that are not just modified stock gears?

jwarriner 08-31-2007 12:48 PM

Seriously, you can get brand new HKS cam gears for a Miata for $147. Those old school ones are worth $50 at a maximum. On the other hand, those of us who are bitching about the price always have the option of not buying them.

turbored 08-31-2007 02:29 PM

That's 150 per gear, not for the pair. I'm asking 150 for the pair.

MX_Eva 08-31-2007 03:01 PM

Well best of luck to you on the sale...I actually kinda feel pretty stupid for making it seem like it was a bad deal.

G'luck.

i talk to toda about this cams they said that i need to do this to complete the set up,do you have this by any chance, Standard Hydraulic Lash Adjuster system cannot be used. Must use TODA Inner shim kit.
# Today HLA killer required
# Valve train kit required
# STD ECU idling is not affected.

castillejos2000 09-14-2007 01:17 PM

im interested but im just wondering if i can put this in my car w/out inner shim pls call me?

PAT! 09-14-2007 01:43 PM

Actually these are superior to the new HKS gears. Jun used to do the same and Toda as well if I remember correctly.

The new HKS cam gears have a wonderfully exciting tendency to slip due to the three bolt design (in general, I don't know if they have the same design on the Miata but they do on all the other applications that I have used). And the outer portion of the gear, the part that contacts the inner surface of the belt, being aluminum as opposed to steel wears quite often. The anodizing will usually go in a matter of days...

Yes, they'll tell you that, but Toda has a vested interested in selling you extra stuff.

RS Aizawa, who sold me these cams said that the 2nd Gen HLAs are sufficient.

Everyone used to do this, I guess because billet gears are more sexy and that they would have to buy the parts from the OEM supplier, it gave them less flexibility, they went the way they did.

That all depends on the tuning and supporting mods.
