I was just there earlier today.

Very nice and clean. Pretty much the same as the one in Stanton, but with lower ceilings...

I need to swing by to check out the new autobacs !! Thanks for the info !!
I picked up one of those stickers I saw on those OG Options magazine and many of the AE86s had that sticker on the rear hatch

"Japan by TBO" or was it "Japan by 780" hahahah when I was younger in those days, just trying to make my AE86 a fast car and my Panasports with 195/50/15 rims also and Bridgestone RE71 tires.Those tires were the bomb back then.

If my memory served me right, Skyline was first then the owner sold the entire company including inventory for like $50 - $60K. I was considering buying it (since my friend knows the owner), but got slammed by my parents to tell me to finish my damn degree first. Gosh, this was so long ago while I was still in my 93' Prelude, changing my own oil..... now i have two babies.... damn my back hurts

^^What where you doing in my neck of the woods!!???


- FYI .. I was there too a few days.. Believe it or not, the Covina store has many, many, many more products on display or in stock... but yes it is smaller than the Stanton one and it doesn't have the 2nd level..

Also, of the hundreds of bulbs they carry, they didn't have the bulbs I needed in stock..

I just checked it out today. Apparently all the things on 'sale' will end tomorrow. Luckily, I picked me up some My Shaldan air fresheners for $1.99 each. Pretty good deal. Oh, and as a bonus, I got some free stickers and decals with my purchase

did you people see the GTR they had on display? they have a formula d team this year: www.sa-drift.com

everyone keeps saying to me that they hear autobacs is doing so bad....but to expand to another location and run a formula d team, that's alot of money to invest in a failing business?

Maybe its only the autobacs in the U.S.A.? Compared to the few stores in the U.S., they have hundreds of other stores worldwide.

i still remember their first shop and how small it was then how big the second location was.
