There is no place in the Sacramento area that specializes in the GT-86 here. Most places, order the parts and get it here in a few days.

Like stated, no place really carries stuff. You could order before hand but even then might have to drive to the bay area. Speed Element and Mann Engineering (both in San Jose) are great shops. For HIDs you can hit up Meng Motorsports as well.

What are you looking for exactly? The other option would be to order stuff from any vendor and ship it to the address where you are staying. I'm guessing shipping stuff to Brazil sucks and is teh reason you're looking to pick up parts while you are here.

We're closer to Sacramento but generally order parts as we need them. If you're interested in anything specific, please let me know and as can get it all set for you.

Yeah, shipping to Brazil sucks so i want to make the best of my trip to Sacramento. Ill be there for an entire week, so i might order a couple of days before, and tell them to deliver to the hotel. If im close to San Jose ill make sure to stop by Speed Element. I need a lot of stuff for my car... but taking them to Brazil will be a freaking pain in the ass... (i wish i could just buy a supercharger kit and take it with me in my lugagge... customs wont like that LOL).
Thanks for the info!!!

i think if you are looking at after market parts, depending on what u want, u might want to check with those shops as to whether they have them in stock n if not, whats their ETA. A lot of time shops don't stock up of aftermarket parts (unless they are popular cosmetics parts). They would order it to the shop and you pick it up local or and get it drop shipped to u.

SpeedElement is great. besides, check out CounterSpace Garage http://counterspacegarage.com/ @csg_mike

they are in so cal but u can get stuff shipped to Sac in 2-3 days

hope u would be able to get all u need
