"Motorsports have always been the backbone of Tomei but the outcry among automotive enthusiasts wanting to purchase products for their own street driven vehicles couldn't go on ignored." In 1994, it was decided the company known as Tomei Jidosha would move to a larger facility and change their name to world renowned Tomei Powered. Tomei Powered, staffed with 25 employees (15 fully staffed engineers) currently dedicates 90 percent of their business selling tuning parts to the general public.

"We don't develop parts or engines just for the sake of making them," states Mihara. "It's too common we see customers slap on parts without knowing what to expect `till after installing the products. By then, it's too late. We test and document data to show customers the levels and progression each product we manufacture and install are worthy of the TOMEI branding. We don't leave our customers in the dark." Equipped with the latest in technological machinery and staff who have more than 30 years of engineering development, Tomei continues to develop some of the newest camshaft designs, such as their Pon-cam that has made Tomei bumpsticks the number one choice in performance and quality throughout the years.

Tomei is looking to further expand their branding across the globe, with plans of opening a US office at the end of this year. "We're not what you would call a flashy type of company, but rather, a company that can be well respected for delivering quality products," says Mihara with a grin. We couldn't agree more.
