The TRD wing idea worked out perfectly; it all spawned from having Barry over to gap the panels before we permanently added the hinges and how we would try to make the TRD wing look like it was added from the factory, bonding it on to make the perfect fit was exceptional. These photos are from the excellent weather we had in June last year. It killed me driving up and down to Jdmdistro and then on to work on this, but looking back, Im delighted I committed to the mission; it is all the little things that take forever, but as always, I trusted the process with Barry and Jackie who were always enthusiastic about things related to this car. 

Enjoy some photos from that month: Tip led, filling the gaps on the roof, collecting the Goodline bumper and painting the hinges, figuring out the perfect fit for the wing, and Dylan’s virgin S13 purchase; this was a good month!

We get carried away trying to create the perfect TRD wing for the back of the AE86 and Barry Gaps the 86.

Getting gifted a sim rig was such a surreal experience. We use it heavily in the shed at least once daily as we walk past to avoid a task altogether. Honestly, I can’t thank Laurence enough for giving this to us. It’s given us something cool to do when we get fed up with the real thing.

It’s ridiculous that he delivered this in his S13; we are forever in his debt for sorting us out with this. What a lovely moment this was!

@LaurenceDusoswa gifts us a sim rig and delivers it in his PS13 Silvia!

Here are a few shots from the RC drift black hole we fell into in January 2023. It escalated, and I’ve loads more to show over the coming months on the channel. Bringing old shells back from the dead and building new cars is all good fun.

We resurrect a Tiny Thrashed AE86 Trueno and get back into RC Drifting.

The quarter panel repair was one of the most deflating parts of the 86 build. I knew I was in great hands with the lads, but it felt like a massive step back; we had got the car into the primer, and progress was chugging along, but it was utterly overwhelming to see the entire side of the vehicle hacked off. As much as it bummed me out knowing this needed tackling, I didn’t let it get to me.

The AE86 progress takes a step backwards as we replace the rear 1/4 panel.

We check out a Polonez AE86, a Polish car built like a Japanese Corolla and Adam from Nightrides Garage. Happy New Year, everyone!

Here is a little photo dump from our Nightride trip in December. This was a random mission, but it was such a blast. Seeing the Nightride set up and hanging out with the guys for a few days was incredible. It was nice to see a different perspective on things. The journey was a mission and a half, and the Essen Motor Show was a little treat. I made new friends out of this and memories that will last forever. I can’t wait to return to Poland. Im sure you have all seen the video, so I’ll let this little photo dump do the rest.

After helping Sam buy his Dream AE86, I hung out with the Nightride guys in Poland for a week to see their slice of the car world.

This was such a fun experience. Sam from Nightride reached out and asked me to help him find an AE86. He told me it had been his dream car for a long time and that they were scarce in Poland, so naturally, I had to help out. I, too, share the love for these cars and know what it’s like to chase the dream, so I went looking, and this popped up for the right price, exceptionally cheaper than the market value.

You’ve probably seen the videos by now as Im playing catch-up with the content, but I did this little shoot after we cleaned it up as photos I could send to Sam to get him excited about the purchase. On a rare winter sunny day, I took the car to the end of our business park and grabbed these photos, which I’ll leave below. The Trueno is such a charming little car, and this thing inspired me to get cracking with my build.

Here’s a little photo dump from the recent video on Drift Bashes: Looking back, the E36 was heaps of fun to drift in. I loved every second of it; it’s just a very tiring car. It’s ideal for someone else to do what I did, and if they wanted to, they could throw some serious effort at it to make it look right.

Ironically, for a channel and blog that talks about “Ireland’s Finest” and style, this car doesn’t represent much of that, if im being honest. When we posted this, we had our hands on the cheap-ish 350z and tried our best to make it as presentable as possible. I’ll always have fond memories of this machine, but the time has come to let it go to the next guy. Im always very grateful for the Club Loose guys and the Drift Games lads for letting us come up and throw ourselves around the track.

Anyway, here are a few photos we took from that weekend; I always take very little as I’m mostly petrified of driving, which hopefully will subside as I get the hang of going sideways—massive shout-out to Niall for replacing the wiper linkage on Sunday morning. Good times!

We buy an AE86 Trueno for Sam from Nightride and join them on a European road trip.

My first time drifting the E36 at a proper event.
