my brother told me he stumbled upon a small car shop the other day, its in garden grove, on trask and magnolia. he said two asian guys probably japanese were working on a red ae86.
if you live around here, on trask between magnolia and broohurst is like an industrial park/small business area, don't know how to describe it, but the shop is laid back, kinda hidden, he turned into the parking lot to make a u-turn and saw the owners cars, proceeded towards the light (it was midnight) and saw them working on the red ae86. i don't know if he talked to them at all.
the one owners/workers drove a red 240sx f/b with gold dori wheels in the front and silver wheels in the back and the other had a panda ae86.
i wasnt there with him when he found the shop, this is all from what he told me, does anyboy know about this place?
i passed by there on my way to work, but didnt stop by because i was late, i did see the workers/owners cars though.
anybody know about this place?

ok, so i went by again on my way to work again, and i stopped by, didnt talk to them though, had no time, but i did see an older NOT the 2001+ Impreza (very very nice blue impreza), a white ae86 coupe, and that red ae86 they were working on, it had a jspec.com sticker and a club4ag.com sticker too. i had no time to talk to them just rolled by and left for work.
edit* while typing this post, i was looking at the jspec.com website, and i think that red ae86 that was there is the one that jspec.com was selling! it has the same rims, and same stickers on the window. HMMMMMM....

That's Sam's AE86 (owner of jspec.com). They are working on it because it has a few quirks from the AE101 motorswap (supercharged 4ag).
The car did have advan oni's up front and SSR mesh in the rear right?
He has not sold the car yet.

I would just go to club4ag.com and ask them. Moto is hella cool and I like his site.. except the music on the main page.
