We reset the clocks on a cluster for the AE86, and add some parts to the 4A-GE
Flips RX7 fires up for the first time, and it sounds glorious, and we fit wheels to my AE86.
This is an insane adventure across Southeast Asia, finishing in Japan. Enjoy Reubens six-month bike trip, narrowly avoiding death on his sketchy motorbike. Something different to start the new year.
WEighties Toyota goodness! Evan gives us a look around his freshly imported Toyota GX71 Cresta, with just over 50k km on the clock. This thing is a proper time capsule.
We test fit the 4A-GE to the Trueno and see what kind of clearance we have with the 100mm trumpets. We also try on the Goodline Hood to see if it works with the engine installed.
A sad day for Juicebox! I sold the EK4 Civic and explained, with updates on Merch and what’s coming up on the channel.
In this episode, we update you on the AE86, enjoy some misery with the March, and have fun with a Rusty Micra.

Being able to drop parts at the depot in Japan was once in a lifetime stuff. Here was a Goodline 86 hood, which I had listed after for many, many years. We barely snugged it into the back of the Alphard and drove halfway across Japan to drop it off just outside of Tokyo.
YES! Parts and magazines Arrive at JDM Distro from our Japan in a Van trip, making it one of the best days ever at work.
We go AE86 parts hunting at MR X’s stash to find the missing bits for the Trueno build. We also get a quick look at MR X’s private collection.
A big moment! We finally start assembling the AE86 shell. This weekend was probably the most exciting part of the build. The plan was to get it rolling in Flips after paint and wheel it back to our shed.
