Hello guys and welcome to another episode of jdm

masters

and today we are going to introduce a used store called

garage

app

garage

is a store that sells used automotive parts, both performance and regular, but they also have their own original parts, which we will see later. just a little bit about what the name up means used parts it's garage part they also have a store that sells motorcycle parts and this is their biggest store which is located here in Machida in Tokyo which is actually in the Kanagawa area, so it's Off the Tomi Expressway, very, very close, by the way, to Tome Powered, which we reviewed in this video here.

Now let's go in and take a look. Here is the main store on the first floor. They have all the car parts. On the second floor, it is a motorcycle. parts and when you buy the parts you can also make them fit certain things and they have a little workshop here next door and on that corner there is a stock warehouse for tires and wheels that we will also check out later so let's go in between so before we go and see the really good stuff, they also have a corner known in Japanese as wake ari which means pieces with flaws or just some random things, very very cheap here, a couple of dollars and if you find something you might need If you have luck, yeah, go ahead, you know things like um, housings, springs, I might find something I need here.

Japonic, I think you can use this. You can buy an Up Garage t-shirt to support their team, so Up Garage is a great opportunity. Great company and very popular with car fans. They also have a sponsored team, so they also sponsor a racing team in Super GT and also for D1 and Drift. You can check out their website below here to see their racing cars and they also have the Image of girls called drift angels which are very popular with Japanese fans so imagine you are a young guy who just bought your first sports car, it could be a nissan silvia s13 or s15 impreza wrx or maybe even a horizon or any sports car.

Have? You have a limited

budget

but want to tune up your car. You want to restore it and need to get some parts. That's where you get to places like this. Behind me are stocks of used parts, most of them. They are not very good quality, so what the Garage app does is buy parts from the normal user and as long as they are in usable condition, they will buy them, clean them a little and then put them up for sale, usually already You know in With good profits, if you come here and sell your parts, you may not get what you expected, but because these tuning parts are widely available in Japan, it's really good that there is also a network like this for the people can come and leave their pieces. old pieces and maybe at the same time browsing the store and finding out you know you might not know what you need what you can find so let's go check it out and see what we can find here.

The olin dfv for the integra type r so you can see here it's obviously old and a little rusty and in pieces but because these shocks are repairable and re

build

able you can buy them and then maybe restore them but it's a Good place to start if you want to find good pieces on a

budget

. Now not only do they have aftermarket tuned parts but you can also see here they also have a variety of original factory parts and this is for the r35 gtr. It's the factory Bilstein suspension, just 100 US dollars, um, if you're looking to replace it. restore your car back to stock you have a car that is too marked down this is really cool here i also saw stock r34 gtr for an amazing price how much is this 20 bucks?

OMG I'm usable I would say judging by the condition of the rubber seats there isn't much rust or damage to the shock absorber housing the rubber bushing seems to be in good condition also here body reinforcing parts strut bars now I notice that many of the parts because they are based in Kanagawa, which tends to have a lot more fans of Nissan and also Toyota. Drifting is very popular these days, many of these pieces, as you can see here. This is for the toyota legacy subaru vit. You have an original Honda DC5, so you have Cusco strut bars and even the flexible one.

The ones here are very popular on the aftermarket and are easily available, many of them in excellent condition and this is even more surprising now that it is not used and there are many of them in this store, so you can see the packaging original from the Cusco factory, uh, the staplers have security. has not been removed, they guarantee that it is a new, unused part. It's a really fantastic find here. More here. All these popular brands. Tane Blitz. Smaller brands like Julia. Relatively unknown brands like Zeal. This one is really fantastic. JZ A80 Supra and fully adjustable coil suspension.

I'm just turning it right now and everything feels loose. The top supports are very, very usable. I just have to get an 80 super now to fit this because Up Garage has been around for 21 years. The company started in 1999 as a small business like you. I know these are used parts but they have grown a lot and now they can collaborate with some companies and produce their own suspension parts like this one here as you can see it is a workshop with the brand of the fuga y50 and just by looking at this Here, it goes up to the garage spec shock, so it costs around 800 US dollars, but it also makes very popular brands.

It's good to see that companies are actually making cost effective parts and there are a lot of them now, it's not just your um, really you know, high end. brands, but if you still insist that you want the best hks, you can get them here, so more on the tuning part, um, most car

enthusiasts

, especially the young ones, the first things that change when their cars get What they want. improve the sound and get mufflers so this is the place to go, not that I know mufflers are super expensive but around here you can probably find them for about half the price.

Let's look at an example here. I found a Fujitsu exhaust for a Suzuki. solution and look it's practically new for about half the price of a new item let's see if we can find some performance auto parts and yes we do oh look at this trd muffler for the toyota 86 or subaru brz that It looks very shiny and has obviously not been used much. I actually have no idea why it's here, but maybe the last owner who bought this car decided he wanted a more aggressive muffler and sold it to the guys at the shop. We also have Kakimoto here and as you can see.

They're all in very, very good condition, so one point is that if you have something that's really rusty and you're trying to bring it here and sell it, they probably won't take it because they're focused on selling high-quality used ones. parts so now we are in the seating section and um you have a wide variety of comfortable and fully reclining bucket seats to fully adequate bucket seats so let's take a look at the sr7s on the market this price is 700 plus of new dollars, they are probably about to almost double in Japan and you can also find stock recurrences.

This is a euro rcl7 cable that goes very, very cheap and the reason for this is that there is a little wear here on the side reinforcements, but this is probably the maximum type of damage that is acceptable. but there are people who would still buy them based on price. On the other hand, the passenger seat here costs twice as much because it has less damage, so this is really just a sample of the kind of quality acceptable when you bring in used parts. It's not just Recaro, here's a Bree Day seat, it's the Bree Day Eurostar 2, limited edition of 150 copies in collaboration with Betty Smith, denim material, orange stitch and orange lettering, and it's cool how you can find really rare items that you know are out of production. and you may not be able to find them even on Yahoo auctions, so of course if you buy the seats but you don't have the rails, how are you going to fit them in your car, that's where you get to this section and there are seats. rails for sale for example here we have a bridge seat rail for a se3p rx8 again it is in very good condition it looks like it has barely been used or never been used maybe it has been used once you see the bolt holes, no rust or major scratches. not at all, so the problem is that if you don't read Japanese, the only way to know which model it is for is by the English letters, here you can ask the staff and they will be happy to help you.

The foreign visitors that come, many of them come recently, so if you come here and look at these things, be sure to ask the friendly staff to find out more about the suspension parts we have here, stabilizer bars, different types of bushings and bolts . Please note that these are actually all new unused so I don't think they sell used bolts because it is probably not advisable to use new bolts so the prices here are quite discounted compared to new parts sometimes It is quite complicated to connect to the Internet. and buy them so a lot of people will come here and just pick them up off the shelf and look at these suspension control arms that we have here for a crb car, we have an unknown manufacturer for an 86 toyota and we even have original control arms for an Aristo, we have a complete subframe with A86 power steering, a used original engine member because these cars are getting very old and parts are hard to get half cage for an 86 Toreno Cusco, lower arm bars, this one is a little worn out but it's also very cheap.

As long as it is not deformed, all this paint can be repaired by DIY personnel, so many of them are also sold here in this section and we have a variety of hks sqv engine parts that look very very usable with the manual instructions at At this point, I want to say that you know that many Japanese are very demanding when it comes to buying and keeping used parts, they always keep the instruction manual, so it is very common to see when they resell this that sometimes they have the original box in the instruction manual. with the warranty cards inside, very meticulous, here is a new purge valve ready to go, probably for 30 less than the retail price, so it is good to see that you can also find new unused parts, a variety of electronic drivers here.

They have the radar detectors that are legal in Japan, very interesting, if you come here, you will see many people having these afc neo from apexi, you will also see the box and the instruction manual for half the price, it is great. variety of things on this side here we have a very rare impul u31 engine ecu that you can see here made by Hitachi and their official Nissan aftermarket, a very very cheap one, how much does it cost in US dollars? The important thing about having stock ECUs is to pass the impact. in or in the mot uh,

japan

ese annual inspection regulations ease of stock will outweigh ambition so it's handy to have them on standby if you already modified your car oh my gosh look at this original honda s2000 fuel pump for 20 bucks , appears to still be in usable condition, many of these parts probably came from wrecked cars.

They sell used parts that are still in good condition at aftermarket stores like this one, but high quality induction coils. Here's a set of Spitfires for the Nissan series that traditionally have very weak coils so a lot of people replace them with these at this price of 550 US dollars or so, you know, 20 uh below the list price, but Why not, if you're lucky, find them here? That's the point and we also have unused g-ready. New generation Cyrus um meters, you can find them here. I'm not sure how they get so much stock of these parts, maybe from a reseller but anyway if you can't find them on the internet this is the place to come let's see here oh yeah I have an old s13 180 sx and This appears to be a US MPH instrument cluster, good luck, good luck, find more engine parts here,turbochargers on this side, intake and exhaust manifolds, uh, downpipes, basically, you've got enough parts here if you're lucky to find them. and build your own tuning car, so imagine this as if you buy a used shell in a junkyard with a basic engine and you come here, buy all these parts and you can just build a complete car with a cost budget, maybe that be a project we should probably do in the future to make the radiators, hopefully many of them usable if the cars don't leak.

You have here even, my goodness, an original fc3s rx7 intercooler ideal for people who were very, very rare, you know, there is no dense rust. All coil fins are still in excellent condition. I'm surprised by all these original intercooler parts. Here we have for the s14 silvia jzx 100 tourer v chaser eg6. I don't recommend the old style chamber induction, but for some people they just want it. the intake sound probably this is a little better top fuel carbon fiber chamber here pod filter hks many different things, but what is very interesting is that around the corner there is garbage or used parts that do not have much value because the condition is below what they would sell in the normal section so this section is actually like anything goes huh it's called wakayari section and it's extremely expensive let's look here so we have a cusco suspension set now it looks like usable, but when the staff has checked it, there was probably a minor oil leak or the condition is very old, so they are selling it for only 60 old school cusco comps, so you can buy them very very cheap, rebuild it for an extra um 250 or something, it's usable you know, but look at this, these things are very hard to get now, an original nissan 5 speed transmission for a s14 uh turbo version more here mazda roadster na6 there's a little bit of damage on the plastic ring so that's probably why it's here or maybe the gears are really worn out I think I saw it a86 here we go t586 transmission this Looks like a good trick because the car is old so a thousand bucks but wow , I wonder why this is in the Japanese scrap section, wouldn't you say it's in very good condition?

You just know, rebuilding the gears properly is an rb 25 or 26 engine, let's take a look at the complete rb 26 engine assembly for two thousand dollars, it's true that the engine looks very worn and old, but you know, these days, to a tuning base, the block in the head is still worth a lot of money. so you know, if you are really looking to DIY, you can grab this and buy it. We also have a s14 sr20 na engine in there, the cylinder block from a 4ag from the ae86, several mufflers, so you know there is this section too, but I'm not really going to find much unless you are very lucky, so some equipment from audio, old style speakers, these things move very fast, I'm not sure why people would want to buy obsolete ones like this, but it's not just about tuning things and also. we have a section where you can buy even exterior parts, let's take a look here air horns, a large variety of them, very, very good reduced prices, headlights, taillights, fog lights and also aftermarket, I admit that now it is not easy to find headlights for all 90's cars but sometimes I got lucky once I found a headlight for a mitsubishi lancer evolution for only 40.

I bought them years ago so here we have more mufflers. We have the taillight section, all red and orange, let's see if we can find some 90's car parts and here. we got it fc3srx7 for 200 this is a steel this is a real steel I mean there are no cracks uh the color is still light and wow I mean it's set up fc3s left and right oh I wish I had a fc3s now I'll just buy it Funnily enough, too They sell motor oils so obviously I hope they are not used which I don't think they are that ready to use.

The f4 range here now at this price is actually less than 50 news, it's versus the 9,000 nismo retail price competition differential oil is also about half the price, just amazing wipers, so basically the concept of this store is that you can come here and buy things at lower prices as long as you find what you want compared to the autobacks which is what we will review next time. It's a big company that sells car parts, but everything is new now. If you are a sound expert and an audio enthusiast for your cars, this is the section for you to see these huge 80s and 90s style woofers.

I mean, I remember in the past my friends bought these huge woofers, just They put them in the trunk, you know, there's no usable space in the trunk, but it was great to have these huge subwoofers, almost the size of a studio, and with amplifiers, here we have. I also have a couple of good Rockford brands for skateboarding, one new used, this is an old school used carrot serial pioneer amplifier unit, now the good thing is that 500 here they even put the price when it's new, so it's three thousand dollars and after checking. It also comes with a one month warranty so when buying used parts here you can be sure that it will at least work and they have a policy that if it doesn't work within a month of return they will refund your money in full.

So now we are in the floor mat section, which is a very important thing for Japanese car owners. Many of them choose these original car maps and keep them in good condition, so what I really want to find, I hope I can find the Civic type. Floor mats r ek9 I don't think it's going to happen let me see it's amazing to see that some of these are practically unused um not just

japan

ese cars audi stock sq5 good condition here um even oh wait oh my gosh but this is made by seeker but it's Red, frankly, is practically more expensive than new because they stopped producing it not because I talked to seeker and they told me that Honda actually has a patent on the shape so they aren't allowed to produce it until later. so they produced this for a short time and found out that the patent was illegal for them to produce it and others have raised the price.

We will talk a little about VIP cars and VIP car owners like to customize the interior with different lights, but also for convenience, so Japanese accessory manufacturers have come up with these innovative trays that you can put in your car. Very stylish, you can put extra cup holders and maybe a tray for your fries, so these kinds of things are also very useful. Popular for people who want to customize their cars in a VIP style, a bit flashy in my opinion, but nevertheless very useful, and now we go to the section of our body parts and bumpers and hood, which has something like exterior casings with carbon fiber prints. for the rear view mirrors and everything and what do we have this appears to be an original subaru duck for a gdb it could actually be from Forrester elbows when he bought it it looks exactly the same as the elbow if you are looking did you sell this part? to the garage I'm not kidding either, I don't think so, no, this is the elbow.

I found the item you sold to the garage. This is basically an original blue Forrester SG9 hood because he replaced his with a carbon fiber one from a gdbc okay more mufflers and also grills now if you live in Japan and you know find these original parts check out a gdbe sti here wrx, still has the sti logo here for forty dollars, it's a real good bargain. I really really like this shop or a vab uh front grill with the sti logo this one is a little more expensive because it's newer at 200 wow amazing stuff in this corner uh luggage rack for those of you who want to go skiing or snowboarding terzo tully Eno, these are the three big main brands that produce roof racks in very good condition, universal, can be placed on many different cars, so at these prices, it is very likely that many people who only go skiing once a year will come here and you know, just buy.

They put them on your car and go with so much variety here, even as a complete roof, what is this? This is like a canopy compartment on the roof to put your surfboard or dining table, BBQ grills, I'm not sure, but it's a really cool thing. the japanese love recreation and buy a lot, there was a boom in the 90's, it was recreational vehicles so products like this were very popular for outdoor camping, skiing and maybe a lot of these ended up here oh god mine, this is a supra, this is an original super jz a80 headlight that costs 600 and looking at the condition of this one, there is no yellowing on all the lenses, all the chrome is still intact on the back, no cracks , that's a pretty cheap price for a rare old car, now this is crazy and look even here bnr32 very very clean oh my gosh yeah you know the glass, the glass headlight housings for the six hundred bucks or your bnr32 and even dnr 32 nismo 260 kilometers original caliber with the old letters here three hundred dollars how much would it cost?

These things sell, you know, that's pretty crazy. We have many different ECUs here. I see that hks fcon pro version 3 is a bit old, a bit expensive for this, but maybe it is in high demand. 800cc injectors um, you have your liberty computer for the a86, this is very, very popular in the 90's for a quick tune up of the 4ag engine and you know, I think these types of parts are not just for people who want to look for adjustments, but I want to look for period correct trim items, you know, and they are still very available in Japan.

It's a great place to come and find these things and now we are here in the rest section of the Brembo calipers that are intended for the audi s5. sport backrest and for 260, this is very similar in design to the original r35 brakes, perhaps with the housing you can modify this. I think the real r35s, uh, if used would be a lot more expensive, so you can customize a lot of things. 350 or more, yeah, yeah, now, maybe this is an article that I wouldn't recommend using clutches, um, but I think they only sell clutches that are over 60 or 50 of their lifespan, but nevertheless, for example, here , for only twenty dollars, would you buy it? an original toyota clutch disc and you know, you have all the work to put in something that would only last a limited time, maybe for this section it is probably to buy a new one.

Oh, I think this costs US$4,000, but it's the complete set. you have the front and rear calipers plus the discs so let's take a look at this price, how good is the quality, yes the rotors are minimally worn, looking now the condition of the rubber seals on the calipers is still very, very usable so let's go to the wheels and tires section so on the outside of the building are the tires and the wheel section let's see what we can find here of course it's winter now in Japan and the main stock will be tires winter for nails. and many of these wheels are also new like this one, you know very clearly, they are new, but they are not just studless wheels.

Here we have 18 inch volk racing te37s intended for impreza wrx, ​​but also the rare nismo lm gt4, this one is designed for a bnr32 at three thousand dollars really beautiful and clean wheels um tires maybe not high quality, but the people will probably buy this for the wheels and look further down work emotion work movement t71r and these classic volk racing ce 28 10 spoke design in 17 inch says here is for altezza or mark ii very clean not many scratches or rashes from here old school two or three piece volk racing gtu with eight and 18 inch xsa work im seeing a lot of old school wheels here tanabe ssr series for those of you who love oh its one of my favorite wheels from the 90s, the yokohama advanced rg goes with the blue stripe on the outside, this is for a horizon or an aristo chaser or rx-7 and how about this one?

Original bbs wheel for the 19 inch subaru impreza sti s206, this is probably quite a bargain price michelin pilot sport 4 there is still a lot of thread left, really a good bargain even though these are desirable bbs wheels but they are original wheels that came out of fabric. car that's why they are much cheaper than for example those nismo lm4 that are there, there are also many European cars, original rims from audi and mercedes, so this huge variety of rims and tires, if you are lucky, you find something you want and You can install it there and up there is just the wheel section and there are many different sizes and honey you can even find old school water nowadays or classic ssr speed stars who knows and the thing is the stock here.

It changes quite frequently, so people who live in the area come here very frequently and even ask the staff if they have anything on the net, go to their website and sometimes can pull certain parts from the others branches and bring them here. Level of service that Up Garage provides and that was a good review of Machida Up Garage. Thank you for looking and see you next time, may you have peace.
