Yeah it's right off the 22 and beach, just north of the freeway by the Red Robin.
We've been doing some consulting work for them setting up some of the stuff inside the store for the past few months, it's gonna be one crazy place when it's done and open!! It's really close to being done now so at least we don't have to wear hardhats anymore when going inside hahaha
They built the building from scratch, and the budget for that place is well into 8 figures...y'all gotta check it out when they open, should be pretty impressive!

Isn't Autobacs supposed to hold an exhibition race for the JGTC in SoCal in 2004? I know they were planning on it. Does anyone have any more info? I'll be there for sure if they come.

yes, this place is opening up.
Not sure when the offical date is, but its opening late august..
They're having a ceremony at 1pm on the 28th
This place sales mostly japanese parts. You will see some rice parts, but its mostly offical japanese parts.. the only bad part about it is it will be overpriced.
you wont find cheap parts here tho..
in japan, they have thousand of these store, the regular autobacs are the size of pepboyz and autozone, but super autobacs is the size of walmart.
A friend went to japan for a month, and got tons of pictures from autobacs, great place.
ill post pictures of the place, they're on my computer at home..
I just hope this place opens the rice boy eyes and shows them all the right parts for their car. REAL parts.

Here's some pictures I took while we had a tour of the facilities on Aug. 3. Super Autobacs.
Subaru guys had a meeting at Autobacs with a courtesy tour - they invited me . Wasn't suppose to take pictures but did get some shots in and a couple of video clips. Really wanted to take a pic of all their Works wheel display --- japanese dude kept bugging me not to take pics
.
Here are the videos Autobac HERE
Oh...the autobacs pic has mixed pics of the tour/subara-mazda meet/and scion meet.

I think the opening is Aug 25th and the Grand Opening is the 28th.
We just finished our portion of the work in the building today, most of the inventory is in there now, all of the equipment is there, it's just final details now, should be pretty nice!
