A Juicebox Meet In Japan
Once we got back to Tokyo, the most important thing on the list was to slam the Probox for the upcoming event Andrew had organised for us. He had gathered a few people to throw the first-ever Juicebox meet in Japan, which was insane.
This little starlet was excellent!
So, back at his workshop, we took the Probox’s off-roading wheels and got some nice little Enkei’s for them, known affectionately as the AME creative direction DCR-02’s—a lesser-known wheel from the 90s.
These suited the Probox. Andrew’s little setup is incredible. He does all of his packing and shipping from this little shop and works on his cars here, too. It’s a nice little thing he has going on.
It’s a lovely stretch from Flip.
I love the look of Andrews Altezza.
How good does this thing look on those wheels?
Once the box was slammed, it was time to hit the car wash. We followed Andrew in his CL1 accord and headed to the manual wash.
The sun was setting behind Fuji, making for a beautiful scene.

With both cars washed, Andrew’s friend Kazu rolled in with his little Honda today, finished in a Kool Cigarette livery.
Freeway racing is his dad’s race shop.
Excuse the pun; I wasn’t expecting this car to be as cool as this, but this little thing blew my mind.
We followed Kazu and Andrew to the location down at Kawasaki Port.
It was nice to encounter a selection of bikers too, who put on a little audio display for us,
Marcello showed up with all the guys from Club 4AGE
From here, we made it to the car park, and if you’ve seen the video, you know how good the cars on display were.
Flip had invited this work of art FC3S.
What a selection. It indeed was such a magical night looking back at these photos.
Marcello’s 86 is a thing of beauty.
I love this photo. Whatever way the light cast on the back from the car behind, it was awesome to see an AE71 coupe at the event.
Daikoku was a bust, unfortunately.
The iconic Aqua line tunnel.
After this, we tried to make it to Daikoku, but it was a bust, so we went to Umihortairu to finish the night. It was interesting to get the perspective of younger enthusiasts like Kazu about the shrinking scene. It was an eye-opener.
