Out in the frosty depths of an Irish winter. Our shed never gets sunlight this time of year, so the front is permanently frozen. This was such a massive milestone for the build; looking back, being able to roll the car out under its weight and just looking at something that sat as a shell for so long reminded me the misery was worth the wait. What I find hilarious is the trusty Prius in the background, a car I expected very little out of but it’s literally my lifeline to work, 1300k a week, and it just keeps chugging, yet it received very little love. Here is a Trueno, a car I obsess over, which gives me nothing but grief and misery, yet I keep plugging along. Im pretty sure most of you can relate to your daily driver and the more enormous money pits we “love”.

You’d miss having Evan at the shed, he moved out to his home house a few months back, and there’s been an absence of his deep rural Irish humour. We shot these photos the weekend I was going to launch a video about his recently imported GX71 Cresta; I needed some B roll shots and decided to do a little shoot of the car out in our ring arena.

These are a few shots from our video we did not too long ago; this was a night when Jackie asked if I wanted to get a sneak peek of probably the coolest honda to ever end up in Ireland. This is J’s racing CRX EF8 car which was in hot version and options video, famous for lightening quick speeds around Tsukuba it ended up in Ireland during our incredible import boom of the late 2000s

The never-ending selection was such a great moment the day we brought the Goodline bumper down from the distro to the shed; I had bought both the hood and bumper from Rob in Osaka two years previous, and it was a mission to get both of them home. Once I got the bumper, I would probably end up hanging it on the wall as Rob had painted his car black, and the bumper was the last remaining part of the car’s original look. I can see myself getting another good line bumper to use for track use, driving on the road, and mixing it up with the OEM front bumper and early spec lip for times I want to switch the lookup.

Shane is a reserved character. Like I said in the recent video about this car, he keeps to himself. On social media, the odd post here or there about his car pops up, and he’s never actively posting the cool stuff he’s posting in his shed at home.

When I saw his Levin pop up online, it instantly caught my attention. Inspired by the Young Version / Run free collaboration car that famously graced the pages of Hyper Rev magazine and was done pretty much to perfection, I had to reach out and chat.

There’s not much to say about Quentin’s S2K. We already featured this work of art on the website a couple of years ago. Quentin has kept the car more or less the same, adding small changes here and there. It always fascinates me how he keeps to himself. He doesn’t have a group of car friends but somehow manages to keep moving and keep the inspiration going with his build.

This day was something Gerry had spoken about for years. Over fires in his backyard in Canada, drinking a couple of beers, we would chat about bringing home a Canadian AE86 just because they didn’t exist in Ireland. This country is obsessed with the chassis. Bringing home a bone stock SR5 would instantly make it one of the rarest examples in Ireland, it would stand out for being stock and different. It was always a pipe dream, something we would throw back and forth, but I never thought Gerry would bother. I figured it would have been too much hassle to make it happen.

I’ve been slacking lately, updating this side of Juicebox with articles. Years ago, it used the website, everything was about getting an excellent piece up with photos, and I enjoyed that pace. Lately, I feel like im playing catchup on youtube and Instagram trying to keep the algorithms happy. It’s weird being so far behind with the videos, too. I have to make sure im releasing the content that matches the episodes’ dates.

Since July, the weather has been good. It was hard to sit inside and find time to make it happen. Hopefully, over the winter months, I can double down on the content, as there are considerable gaps in the backlog due to japan in a van and other bits.

Not everything goes to plan. Unfortunately, our exhaust mission didn’t work out, I sort of forced josh to make an exhaust for me, and realistically I should have got one made up elsewhere. It’s one of those situations where you have a friend who can weld, and suddenly everyone asks him to do work.

This was a productive weekend of sorting the dash, realising the exhaust is fucked and requires a whole new system, painting the little metal piece on the car’s frame to match the life, and sorting the headlight brackets.

I hadn’t been to the shed in a few weeks due to covid lockdown nonsense, so seeing Josh balls deep in his s15 resto and Flip doing some bits on his FC was a pleasant surprise. We usually get more stuff done when there isn’t a crowd!

Our video on Paddy’s shed went down a treat a couple of weeks ago, I could have spent an entire day going through the collection, but time was against us, so much so that we had to call back for a second look after work as the evening light quickly vanishing.

This shed is incredible, a man and his friends saving Irish Toyotas from the scrapper. The look and feel of this place are like something from an old Optiojn DVD feature when they call out to someone’s rural shed packed with old gems. I’m sure most of you have seen the video by now, so ill let the photos do the talking.

Blog posts have taken a back seat. It seems the blog has died, and now photography feels like it’s under attack due to tik-tok and reels. In a few years, it feels like photography will be utterly pointless on social media as we move towards a more on-the-fly video type of consumption. Regardless, I love shooting photos and have always enjoyed documenting friends’ cars and such.

Shed scenes from our day fabricating an exhaust and fecking around with the car outside. It was so good to get this out in the sunlight finally.

Here are a few of Flip’s photographs from our last drift video, a rare occasion where we all got out drifting. This day was right after the first ease of restrictions in Ireland during the never-ending sea of lockdowns. It was great to get together and enjoy some skids. Flip took some epic shots that day, so I’ve thrown them up here for people who still appreciate photos on a blog. I’ll keep the words to a minimum. I hope you enjoy it – Neil

For anyone who has been here before, the feeling as you nervously wait for the engine to fire up, years and years of putting time and effort into this build with friends because this car is a communal effort hoping it will pay off.

So after a massive chunk of progress, we were onto the brakes. I thought this would be smooth sailing after fitting the engine box and other chunky bits. It turns out this would be one of the most temperamental parts of the build. The bias valve to the rear was faulty and wasn’t allowing fluid to the back brakes. It took us a good few hours to figure this out. You might have seen it in the video.
