Default OT: Pics from my Japan trip: SuperAutobacs

I went to Japan a few weeks ago and I go to go to Superautobacs... as you've may have heard that this place is JDM heaven... so enjoy:

Boosted Old skool Land Cruiser getting fixed:



Fluids anyone?



I never thought I'd ever see all these rims together in one place...













I don't know why we don't get these headunits..



Even the kids get better seats than us:



ooooh...



ahhhhh....



yaaayyy... I got my Apexi EL2 gauges on sale at 20% off! Talk about cheeeep..
I had a hell of a time explaining what an EGT was!


A real man's clutch:



Coilover's anyone? I can't believe they had coilovers up to 50% off!!! Too bad they don't stock anything for DC2's. Guess that's too old skool for them.



Superautobacs caught onto me, so I had to put the camera away...

I'll post pics of all the cars I saw...

That is just insane...how can they afford to stock so many parts !

In a few of the pictures it looks like they had the new BBS Diamond Black wheels on display ? Do you remember if that was them ?

That is sweet!

Why can't you take pics though? Is it for a security reason?

BTW, I read in a magazine awhile back that an Autobacs was going to open somewhere in Cali. Can anyone confirm?

i was told at the Yokohama AutoBacs, they didn't allow. I took pics when employees weren't looking at the Oyama one I didn't want to take the chance.

-Aoib0t, who is not sure if he was really allowed to or not but did it anyway

Maybe they were in fear that you would steal its soul.

Nice Pics, I aways heared about it in mags but that place is unreal.
