It's a shame we don't have stores like this in Australia
Cough cough auto barn
@@jajbear10 Not really the same thing... Autobahn doesn't sell used parts on a shelf or an extensive range of modifications like exhausts, etc...
Cashies.. or nearest wrecking yard
@@garystinten9339 but the records don’t always have the part that you need like a fuel sender for a VY Holden Ute crewman they stopped building them years ago, and it’s very hard to find one
@@garystinten9339 Still not really the same thing tbh
you could have met with @Tsuchi
Nah tsuchi was way too far I think
The one thing that stood out to me in terms of amazing pricing was the wheels and seats - basically the heavy, hard to ship items. Plus Nardi's.
Recaro SR2, SR3, etc seats for $500 for a mint pair of Confetti's, Indy's, Type R Honda specs, as well as the cheap Nardi classics are INSANE. Seeing $3500 SR2 Indy's for $500-$750 is just crazy. I scored $40 Nardi classics amongst other things that I was able to flip for 5x back home. Shit's still insanely well priced over there IF you can shop around and find them. A mate even bought carbon fibre Veilside RX7 headlight housings for $250 that would sell for upwards of $1500 online.
UP GARAGE is completely dead in the water now. All the really cool stuff gets shipped to their American store.
Yeah idk what videos Rex has been watching but in every video I've seen, the people usually walk out with nothing saying something along the lines of what ylu just said. The hype is, there is no hype.
No they don’t carry parts for old cars I tired to get stuff for my AE86 they had nothing
Sick vid rex hope you enjoyed your trip ❤
I went to the same Up Garage like 2 days later, the $5 bike out front was the best deal 😂
That was an average one, the one near ebisu was pretty epic 😊
Watching from Japan!! About to check out both stores in the next coming days 👌👌
Mad vid Rex!!
@9:06 damn a Toyota blademaster in the back
was just about to comment this they're so nice
Wish we had places like this in New Zealand only so much shopping I can do in repco and super cheap😭
Can’t forget Pick-a-part 😂
I have a tall version of that flower shift knob in my manual swapped crown! It’s dope. It would be cooler if it lit up or something
Just got to Tokyo today! I’ll check out one around here over the weekend
always keep your expectations are low as possible, these shops are basically like high end thrift stores for cars. So yes you can snag good deals and find gems, but for the most part they are heavily visited and the stock is usually not the greatest. The best ones to go to are the ones farthest from population such as the countryside and such
I really enjoyed your Video - Thank You
love your vids but wheres AU falcon
Glad you had fun at Japan!
the GOAT has uploaded!
I did enjoy looking around a couple of Japanese car parts shops and l was hoping you were Australian and a simple conversion to Australian dollars
How much were those Nismo hats at 11:57?
Let's go new video love it already
Great vid! Up gararge is hit and miss, I got to Japan for work and was at one near narita about 6 months ago, they were parting out an r32 gtr, they had heaps of parts, from wheels to turbo and 2 full exhaust systems. It really does vary store to store
I’m going out to Japan this summer hopefully I find a nice wheel or something, especially since the Yen is weak right now compared to the US dollar
Me too
Give you a update on my 2000 Camry LE. I took the Camry to Maximum Car Audio. I told the guy that looked at the stereo system about my windows and door locks not working. He told me this happens when the original radio stereo system is replaced with a new stereo system. This is the second stereo system that the Camry has had. It's some kind of relay switch that has gone bad. This has happened when I put my new stereo system in. I also found out that the door jams switches are connected to the ignition which is connected to the master switch on the driver side door. Geez everything is connected on this 2000 Camry LE. I took the Camry to Maximum Car Audio to see if need a subwoofer. Guy said I may not have to get a subwoofer. My back speakers are 450 watts, front door speakers are 300 watts, Twitters are 150 watts. Guy told me to get the Camry repaired then come back and he would tune the system in the Camry. I'm going to do that. I try and do repairs on the Camry myself if I can. If not I will take it to a honest mechanic if there is such a thing anymore in this world. Sorry this is so long. Glad you enjoyed your trip to Japan.
We have a up garage in the States
Love your vids
you shoulda hit a up garage in tokyo instead of a lil one close to the air bnb....you woulda hit gold
first time seeing upgarage on mcm, yes i'm old
Capt Two6 does some good videos he went to the largest Up garage in Machida
Uuufffff that Evo 5 in the beggining 🥵🔥
Lachlan enjoyed the nismo parts bc they’re tax free, not bc they’re nismo from Japan 🤣
only in japan can store like up garage and super auto bacs can exist....why cant we have huge used car store in the mainland north america or australia
There are many tiny tiny up garages everywhere but only a few are specialized for tuner cars. Go to the wrong one and you get aisles and aisles of Kei car crap
they should put 2 of those in the USA, one in florida and one in illinois....they would probably do well in the USA, IF they put them in areas with tuner and drift car popularity
They opened their first one in Southern California this weekend and it's doing very well according to the staff.
I blive it's a car guy dream to go japan
Any Falcon parts there! 😜
Hey Rex how are u mate just woundering how to contact u about your r32 u might be selling can u let me no somhow how I can purchase it off u
Autobacs is just Supercheap with wheels/tyres, plus the loud advertising on every second shelf.
Rex h upload 🙌
Pricing is about the same but obviously more harder to find Japanese parts
How many yen? ¥ can find hks and saard. And japanese diff bearings, bosch alternator from taiwan. those old datsun never broke down all japanese car.
Rex can you pls bring me back a trd 1.3 bar radiator cap for my 1mz fe turbo conversion motor?!!!!
Autobacs just reminds me of Autobahn
I've just been in Tokyo and visited 7 Up Garages looking for R32 parts all i found was 1 headlight , and 1 tail light, pretty disappointed
R32’s are not that common in japan anymore so parts arent as abundand anymore. Up garages are also falling off
Yen is weak , that's why it's cheaper to get there. Shipping to the states cost more
U need the translation app.
so sad nothing for the r32 ;-;
Cool trip Reh. Youll have to do a episode were you mod Chloe's Honda as well.
Crazy. I DM’d u a few weeks ago asking if u wanted anything from there because I was going. Now you’re there just when I leave. Damn
❤
What’s up garage?
🥁💥
Hahahaha
sammit XD
bet u wer in heaven lol i would be the r32s are cool will u get a 34 ??
what happened to andrew on channel hes a legend
Duhhh its yen not dollars
Fuck going once a year.
That flight sucks!
Anything more than 4 hours on a plane has to be once in a lifetime!
🗿
My name is Zak could I get those wheel caps pls
your ratchet be clicking the whole time bro
Early
First?
Rhd Japan parts are crap company who waste buyers time !!!!
Never again!!!
Why does your girl have to ask permission for everything she wants to buy? It comes off as really cringey in controlling on your end
Your car is 35 years old why would they just have parts everywhere?? They moved on from that car a long ass time ago.
Damn that is cheap nice
