Third year, the S3 all-Subaru gathering was bigger and better than last year. This year on a nice day up in Santa Barbara, CA there were well over 100 cars and 16 vendor booths. EDO Performance had two booths at the S3 2011 showcasing our products for the Subaru, and also gave out free gifts to the show’s attendees. Some of the brands that we carry are M7, Tomioka Racing, Zero/Sports, Cusco, Motul lubricants and many more. Also offered some awesome discounts during the S3 show on selected products we carry including Buy 1 get 1 free on select Motul Products!

Starting from 10am, our parking lot was filled with a bustling crowd of car enthusiasts, socializing and having a good time. We invited Motul to display a full line of performance lubricants and they offered a great promotion, buy 1 get 1 free on that day. SoCal EVO was here to show support to our event.

There was raffle drawing starting on every hour starting from 12pm, containing lots of prizes donated by many vendors including Tomioka Racing, Motul, M7 Japan and Lot USA. The grand prize for the raffle was a Tomioka Racing 11 lbs light weight battery.

We supplied burgers, hot-dogs, chips and drinks for everyone in attendance as well as entertainment for the day. We proudly invited DJ Bobby Play to play the cool music and two game booths (dart toss and basketball shoot) to win gifts such as T-shirts, key chains, plate frames, stickers and decals.

Overall this was an exciting day and it appeared that everyone attending had a great time. We would like to thank all of the vendors, shops, and individuals who showed up to support our shop on its fifth anniversary. And of course, we would also like to thank the local community for attending and making our event a success.

Let’s see who win the grand raffle prize…

This past weekend we heard UCI’s (University of California, Irvine) car club “Imports@UCI” was holding their 5th annual car show!

UCI has always had a great import car culture! Back in early 2000 to 2004 we’d often meet at UCI with our groups of Honda’s, Acura’s, and BMW’s.  Now it’s 2011, 7 years since I’ve last been to any UCI event or meet, I figured there had to be much change to UCI’s car culture.  To my delight there was more then the usual Honda’s, Acura’s, and BMW’s.  There was lots of friendly people and an all around good time vibe going.

Despite the weather there was a great turnout!  Lots of awesome cars, great sponsors, free food, free nos, the ladies from Drifting Pretty, and much more!

We’d like the thank Imports@UCI for putting together a great event.

Can’t wait for UCI’s next car show ^_^!

Cypress, California – Tomioka 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. Please check with your local Tomioka Racing dealers for the availability of Tomioka Racing products nearest to you.
