Tomioka Racing on Mitsubishi Owners Day 2010

August 31st, 2010 by admin

Cypress, CaliforniaTomioka Racing was present during Mitsubishi Owners Day 2010 showcasing our product lines for the Mitsubishi Evolution VIII/IX/X. This was our first appearance at one of the most anticipated Mitsubishi events of the year. From our humble beginning with just one product line, the Tomioka Racing Super Slope, Tomioka Racing has gown its product lines to include exhaust and engine components.

The day started at 7 in the morning for our team to set –up the booth and displays. Within few hours, the lot at the Mitsubishi Motors of North America was packed with manufacturers and enthusiasts. Among the day’s events were the Dyno Challenge and DSport “Best of Show” award. There were also plenty of display vehicles from the first generation Eclipse, the classic Mitsubishi Starion, 3000GT to modern Evolution sport sedans.

To spice the day, Tomioka Racing offered generous Sponsorship prices exclusively for the MOD 2010 attendees on its Mitsubishi Evolution products. Products on the sponsorship offers include the exhaust manifolds for the Evolution X 4B11 and Evolution VIII/IX 4G63, cat-back exhaust and divorced-type downpipe for the Evolution X 4B11, TD06-20G turbocharger for the Evolution VIII/IX 4G63. In addition to exhaust components and turbocharger, Tomioka Racing also brought its signature product, the Tomioka Super Slope, to raise our JDM-themed Evolution IX on display by 3-inches off the ground. We also showcased the TR Performance light-weight batteries. The batteries weight at just 6 lbs with options to go all the way to 21 lbs for those who need serious cranking amperage with some weight reductions.

Tomioka Racing was founded in 2006 with manufacturing of racing ramps to help customers raise the lowered vehicles by 3-inches off the ground to make rooms for car jack tools.  Tomioka Racing ramp has one of the most compact designs in the industry, weighing just 10 lbs for a pair of ramp. Ever since the launch of racing ramps, the company has established network of dealers in USA and international distributors in the United Kingdom, Turkey, Australia and Asia. Following its success, Tomioka launched another compact product, the TR performance light-weight battery in 2009. The battery is 100% made in USA and 100% recyclable.  It utilizes the Absorbed Glass Matt (AGM) technology and offers dual mounting installation positions. 2010 has been exciting year for Tomioka with the release of fuel rail kit for the Evolution X 4B11 and final drive gear set.
