Now for Super Autobacs
We visiting the Super Autobacs Naganuma,Chiba store the day before Autosalon with some big expectations and much folding stuff to spend. The store was huge but a little disappointing with minimal performance gear actually in stock. If you wanted rims or a new doof system for your chaser though, this was the place for you.
Welcome to Super Autobacs - may I take your order?
The carpark alone was VERY impressive
Just in time to watch a WRX hitting the dyno
Drum roll - in we go!
No excuses for not finding the right oil here
Mmmmm
No - this isnt tempe tyres new showroom
Finally I have had time to weed through the hoards of photos from our Japan trip.
Firstly here are some pics from the 2004 Tokyo Autosalon. What an amazing show with such a huge number of awesome show/street/drag cars across mutiple halls. We made two trips to the show, going back on the Sunday to snap the promo babes and cars we missed the previous day.
Enjoy
(Higher res pics available on request)
Some shots from outside the show
This is what confronted us as we entered the show. It was huge!
Remember the Option 350z? It attracted a huge crowd with everyone pushing to get a glimpse of the reminants of the car after its high speed roll
The Signal widebody S15
The Bee R R33 GTR
The DRFT chop top S15

100% pure pimp! This ones for you B-Man!
This R33 GTST Promo car for Super Autobacs was actually running an RB20DE (or at least thats what the spec sheet showed) - Check the custom dash!
The Signal Chameleon R34 GTR needeth no explaination!

The lads from the Pheonix's Power/RH9 stand giving a wave and hello to SAU
Looking for a "light" powerup for your GTR?
The bovs are on their own. For an R33 GTS-T its simply a matter of buying the adapter for your car from somewhere like UAS and mounting it on.
As no specific adapters are included with any of the above bovs they can be adapted to most cars.

Benjamin: if you want to continue the famous questioning how about moving your questions to the famous sticky thread as its getting way off the original topic now.
Thanks
Tell me Mack - who is the insurance company insuring exactly? YOU, or your sister/mum/cousin/friend? :slap:
Maybe you should be a little more specific when making statements such as the above before making such claims about Famous.
I have 3 CD's worth here on my desk - I havent had sifficient time to weed through.
After all there are a lot that may not be suitable for public viewing
Following your posts? flattering but no
MRK25T: I have seen and been informed of several issues faced by friends at workshops around that area and frankly after visiting several I simply cant say I would be prepared to have any work on my car. I am extremely picky and careful when choosing a workshop.
My opinion and my judgement.
We were very happy with our accomodation - central to everything we wanted to see.
We had Up Garage around the corner, we also visited Top Secret, Super Autobacs Naganuma, Super Autobacs Itchkawa, Super Autobacs Tokyo Bay, Yellow Hat and Crystal.
Well dave I will be booking again in 3 or so months for TAS 2005.
Tony - happy to give you some information on getting around and the parts shops if you need it.
