Its hard I know but whats not to Enjoy this about this lady in rouge. Parked all alone but sitting right on an unusually awesome set of Rays Aurthur Exchange LK VIP wheels.
How can you hate on this shit? The best way to spend money if you run a skate shoe company!
The Mk2 Golf has always been a true favourite amongst car lovers, in the last few years they have become quite scarce site and even quite a few that are left are either a mint GTI something in between or a standard clean example. Rob decided to build this MK2 on a budget, attending college and trying to build any sort of car is definitely not an easy task. Truth being his budget was pretty limited but that didn’t stop him from using his head and turning out an awesome result.
Every now and again a conversation arises where someone will talk about the Honda othria/partner and how its basically an EK estate. I decided tosick up these pictures I had lurking on the hardrive of Partner type R conversion in yes you guessed it Japan.
Check this snap from an old photo shoot that is a little heavy on the photoshop side, but besides that the Impreza RB320 is a very cool rare car. Built in memory of Richard Burns who was the 2001 World Rally Champion, the car boasted 320 BHP tuned by Prodrive and only 320 of these were ever made, they sold pretty quick and we managed to come across this one that was bought by an enthusiast in the south east of Ireland, there was almost over a years waiting list for the car and all 320 of them sold out pretty quick. This Impreza easily became a rare collectable alongside the 22B’s RB5’s and P1’s. A nice way to remember one of the worlds greatest rally drivers.
This is complete madness, no janspeed or superlite shit here. Turn up and enjoy the insanity that is Japan….
Happy AE86 day! What better way to celebrate this day than with a car like this. The Levin you are looking at is probably one of the most impressive builds I have ever witnessed with an AE86. These days people seem to have the mentality of adding a set of wheels to a car and stance and a couple of stickers and suddenly their car is something special or different. What I love about this car is the fact that pretty much every inch of the car has been changed, replaced or refurbished. This car wasn’t built to be put on a stand at a car show or to be king of the internet. Many people didn’t even know this 2 door even existed, for the people that did it was like an urban myth hearing what was being done and how much was being spent. The biggest thing I love about this Levin is how it was built to be driven and personally enjoyed, the fact Jerry wasn’t bothered if it was exposed to the world or not is pretty awesome.
Some footage from the drift day which was held in Mondello the last weekend of July.
So since there is a nice gap in between the next Prodrift event, Mondello had another track day for drift practice, owners could pay 140 euros to drive on the track all day in pretty much whatever they choose. These days are just as if not more interesting then some of the professional events down to the fact that the track is a mix of Decent and learner driver’s so things can be very unpredictable. Most cars come home with at least one love tap or maybe two…
This Saturday will be the celebration of the Hachiroku otherwise knows as the AE86. We have been holding this car off for quite some time but are very proud to celebrate Hachiroku day with one of the nicest examples of this chassis I have ever seen. A car that you may have seen in this video, where a friend talked about the car costing almost 70k, a build where pretty much every single part of the car was replaced. Not built by a company or a garage but by a normal guy in a shed with friends who just wanted this car to be done right.. to be fully restored not to a standard factory model, instead an amazing combination of both brand new factory parts combined with incredible aftermarket goodies, to create something I’m sure you’ll be happy to see.
Stay tuned this Saturday for something special to celebrate one of the best chassis ever built.
The most interesting thing about the Irish car scene is the little niches that lurk in every corner of the country, friends and family which are all tied together by a model of a car or a manufacturer. Many people religiously stick to a company with the same type of passion a person would have for a hurling or football team. One of those people is a friend called Rob, he builds but mostly breaks Mitsubishi’s. He has always been telling me that there isn’t enough Mitsubishi’s on Juicebox.
The Celica never get the love it deserved over the years, besides the st205 they scrub up very nicely like this example here. Possibly one of the nicest t200 series Celica’s ever? Maybe….
