Two Builds. One Era.

PIONEERING IMPORT PERFORMANCE IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY.

Hondas, Acuras, and a deep love for Japanese trucks that tell the early story of Performance Autoworx (1998-2003).

Every great story has a starting point, and sometimes a couple of photos can say it all. Here are two quick glimpses that capture different sides of what Performance Autoworx, a Modesto, CA based import automotive shop was all about. One photo shows a Honda Civic EK owned by Mike Capistrano @the_crispy_lumpia. A nod to our love for Hondas and Acuras and the heart of the import scene we were part of. The other photo is of @lloydgomez’s 2000 Toyota 4Runner, all JDM-spec’d out, showing his personal passion for SUVs and trucks. Together, these two snapshots give you a little taste of the dual worlds we loved and the roots of everything that followed.

Stay tuned for more.
