Spocom USA hit up our sandy shores of Oahu on Saturday, August 29th, 2026 bringing together Oahu’s hardest hitting imports all under one stage that being within the Neal Blaisdell Exhibition Hall from 5 p.m. till 11 p.m. for Spocom Hawaii 2026

Father and son duo Henry Tabios and Henry Tabios Jr. of HT Automotive LLC brought out a double blast from the past that being their Ford Fox Body Mustang and Oahu’s first SFWD Civic as pictured above and below rocking the red carpet treatment at Spocom Hawaii 2026. Both of these cars hasn’t been seen for 20 plus years, both of these cars needed a lot of hard work, time, and dedication to get it back in the streets, and both of these cars made their return in honor of Spocom USA X Spocom Hawaii’s 20th Anniversary

Pictured above and below are photos of Henry Tabios Jr.’s SFWD Civic rocking a Gato B-Series setup within it’s engine bay. Roughly within a 5 month time span prior to Spocom Hawaii 2026, Henry Tabios Jr. acquired all the necessary parts, did all of the necessary fabrications, and basically changed everything on the Civic needed to complete it’s transformation to meet present day SFWD standards. SFWD stands for Sport Front Wheel Drive, a popular and fast class of drag racing focused on front wheel drive imports such as Henry Tabios Jr.’s purpose built SWFD Civic and he plans to ship his SWFD Civic to the island of Kauai in the near future for a shakedown pass being Oahu unfortunately hasn’t had a race track since the late 2000s
