There's a pretty nice Subaru dealership over in Tachikawa. It might be a little lengthy ride if you're going by train, but it's a pretty decent store.

ScLaBo

The map is there, but just in case...

-Take the JR Chuo line to Tachikawa station and use the South Exit.
-Head south in parallel of the monorail track.
-Make a right at the intersection where Royal Host is.
-Walk some more, and eventually the dealership will be on your left.

I walked the route after getting off the JR line; you can surely use public transportation.

well first off you guys rock on the superbacs recommendation. I went there today and it was amazing, all the stuff you could want in one shop plus a huge service bay.

I have taken a bunch of pics of cars I've seen around, unfortunately I've seen only one STI but no pic of it. So here we go

I am not sure what this is but I snapped it the first day I was here after being up for 24 hours.

This is me sitting in the Toyota race car in the largest car dealer in the world (i think). MEGA WEB : MEGAWEB GUIDE

Another shot of it.

sake goodness

yes please

Just had to show up the STI and go with 6 exhaust outlets

Right outside of Superbacs but I've seen them all around. Turbo/intercooled cubes. hehe

Legacy Wagon at Superbacs. I've noticed alot of these around town.

I fail at life here, I didn't catch what this was beside it was tuned by Tommy Kaira.

I want to say its a skyline but not sure.

A disgusting RX-8

haha, didn't even notice the legacy in the background when I shot this pic.

I would love to have these at home.

A part of the interior of superbacs.

This is there upstairs library with mags, books and vids.

More of superbacs.

Part of their electronics section, the rest was under me.

rims

more rims, they had a whole another row but people were shopping there.

I love s2000s.

Superbacs exterior

Service bays, alot more room inside.

Omg this car killed me, so here is a teaser shot. I have to run out now and I will add some when i get back.

yes those are fake rotors, lol

The GT3 ran into back corner of a taxi

Some GTR love, R32 maybe

Caught this on my way out tonight.

In front of the apartment i'm staying in.

Well thats about all of them. So many exotics here and they love their porsches by far.

very good spot

hah, it's funny to see pictures of that super autobacs again. The subaru section isn't that big, but there are some cool parts. And it's pretty cool to see coilovers hanging from the wall

waldo21 · 04-04-2008, 06:47 AM

FYI...The car that you say is tuned by Tommy Kaira is the G37 sedan...

Thanks for the pics....

STI_SLC · 04-04-2008, 07:16 AM

Rico-Land hahaha

TheHammer · 04-04-2008, 09:03 AM

I do see you took pictures.
I got a couple inside before an employee rushed me and said please no more pictures.
That wall of wheels is a beautiful thing to behold.
Brings back fond memories of my trip there.

Japan rocks!

UrbanGunz · 04-04-2008, 10:04 AM

Nice pics....brings back memories. They let you take pictures in the autobacs store? 3 workers jumped me when i was there for trying to take a picture of the inside

paikman · 04-04-2008, 12:57 PM

I would buy gauges for myself.
Buy bubble shift knob to sell to "drifters" on zilvia.net
Buy stickers to sell to people in general.

Done!

***Spaceman*** · 04-04-2008, 02:46 PM

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming!

I just walked around taking pictures, no one came up to me and told me otherwise. I also didn't notice any "no pictures" signs. I guess I was a ninja in there taking stealth shots.

Its amazing how many tinted Legacy wagons I see around here. I probably see 3 a day. I have seen a few 08 impreza's around town but not a single 08 STI. This place is really great though, so much nicer then walking around NYC.

Vampyre · 04-05-2008, 07:40 AM

thanks for the pics

TheHammer · 04-08-2008, 09:19 AM

I was more amazed by how many Honda and Toyota mini vans I saw.
