Ae86 Progress! Repairing the Dash, fitting the headlight Assembley

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!

AE86 Brake Mystery Solved

After a month of awful brakes on the Trueno, we finally figured out the problem.

First drive in the AE86!

We take the AE86 out for its first drive with the new engine set up around the business park, no panels, lots of noise and lots of laughs!

The Boys Go Drifting

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

Photos Unboxed: Blue Steel, An Epic 2 Door Levin

Let’s take a closer look at Kevin’s AE86 from the last video. We were lucky the sun came out that day to show off its incredible blue paint. Kevin had been building this car for over seven years and had just picked it up a couple of days before we called out to visit. He was very eager to show me the Levin. Continue Reading

Photos Unboxed: Digging For AE86 Parts At Mr X’s

We are very fortunate to have people like MR X in the car community. For years, he has been supplying the AE86 community with much sought after parts. He has been breaking Corollas for parts for well over ten years, and it is a necessary evil, sometimes it’s sad to see cool cars he has killed, but most of the time, every last piece of that car ends helping another.

Photos Unboxed: The Trueno is Back!

If my younger self could see me now! That young freckly fucker obsessing over Gran Turismo 2, sitting in his room listening to that smooth jazz menu music, looking at cars he had never heard of in the used car garage. Here I am, many years later, still chasing the dream, still into the same stuff I was back then! I think my younger self would be buzzing to see the space I have in the shed with sound friends, a few rusty Japanese shit heaps, a few bikes, skateboards and silly bits pushing on into my 30s. It’s not much, but I try not to take it for granted, best to enjoy the ride. This night made me incredibly happy.

Back At It! AE86 Progress And Updates | Juicebox Unboxed #113

We are back at it in our shed with the Trueno progress and updates on where to go next, with a few surprised along the way.

Photos Unboxed: Barry Fixing The Sills

I’m playing catchup, editing these photos and chucking them up on the site, but I’m enjoying the process of looking back at the progress so far. You’d miss build threads on old forums. These days it’s youtube for that sort of stuff. Regardless of the vlogs, I’ve still been snap-happy shooting as many photos as possible of the progress.

The Legendary C33, Back on Irish Soil!

If cars could speak, Reubens C33 would have quite the story. Fortunately, we have managed to document most of its life since it left the motherland, a hack machine that someone threw together. Reuben imported this car with the sole purpose of making some extra cash. It wasn’t until it landed that he started trying on wheels and parts that he fell in love with it.

Japfest 2019 Flashback

Much like our photos from the 2019 BBQ, right before the world knew anything about the word Covid, we made our way to the most famous car show in Ireland, held in September every year. This event was a washout, and as expected, we were a little deflated after just coming back from our trip to Japan, which you might have seen on our youtube channel.

We did a lap of the paddock, trying to capture whatever caught our eyes and battled the never-ending heavy downpours that followed.

Little did we know this would be the very last sizeable Irish car show as nothing has happened since the Pandemic took hold of the world. Regardless, enjoy these quick photos from a pre covid world. It took a little longer than expected to get around to putting them on the site, ill keep the words to a minimum here and let the high-quality selection speak for itself. Enjoy – Neil
