The Bride AE86 Resurrection

A few shots of the Bride AE86 Ressurection. I shot these photos shortly after our BBq last year to tie into the story from the rebuild . Like all of the photos the last while on the site, I feel like we talked enough in the videos, so thimagesos are for old-school lads who still enjoy a bit of photography, digesting the cars at a much slower pace. (I’m still one of those people, and I adore shooting cars whenever we get the chance) I hope these photos are an excellent addition to our coveron this buildĀ  I could write forever here about how good this thing is, and just how incredible this story is, but ill let the photos do most of the talking.

The Honda Accord Type R

A couple of shots with the Accord Type R, quite possibly the best bargain we ever got! This car, unfortunately, has been sitting in the corner of Flip’s shed for over a year. As I write this, Im drowning in AE86 progress, which is a good thing. Hopefully, we can get it on track this year, as I bet this would be heaps of fun, it needs some small bits like suspension and a clutch, and we managed to get some nice wheels to suit matched with decent tyres.

A Trip To Jimmy Oakes

I’ll keep the writing brief here, as I did quite a lot of talking in the video on my USA trip recap. Here is a photo dump from the time we visited Jimmy and the lads in Connecticut.

The Perfect Bare Shell Rebuild K20 EG Civic Track Car

After a three + year intense build from a bare shell, our good friend Jackie gives us a look around his fresh off the press K20 EG civic track car.

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

Forgotten S13 & More In A Familiar Garden

We head back to our friend Dan’s back garden, where we initially found the AE86. We check out his collection of forgotten Japanese cars to hear his plans, reminisce about old stories and collect a sensor for my 4A-GE engine.

Starting Flips FC RX7

I can still taste the rich fumes on the back of my throat from this weekend. I’m sure this was a moment Flip would never forget. During the lockdown period of 2020, Flip and Reuben were quietly working away on resolving all the gremlins in the FC and sorting it out for its first start. They gave me a call when they knew they were close to the first proper start.

Reuben was jobless and looking for something to occupy his time during what seemed like a never-ending lockdown, and what better way to pass the time than jumping headfirst into the unknown land of rotary power. When I called out, the lads were talking about things I had never heard of, and it was great to see just how far down the rabbit hole both of them had fallen on a mission to get the 13b Fired up.

Photos Unboxed: The AE86 From Japan Without a Plan

A Glitch in the simulation! Seeing this car on the other side of the world in Ireland, what are the odds?. What’s incredible is we made a friend in the process! Danny Gave it socks in last nights video before he went home. His Corolla was the first AE86 we spotted in Japan back in 2016, and it was surreal to see it once in our recent video.

I got a message out of the blue one night, and it was a guy called Danny from Wexford. He had watched our first Japan video, and he couldn’t believe his eyes. His very own 86, which he had recently imported, had just driven past us on the motorway in our feature-length “Japan without a plan.”

Photos Unboxed: The March’s Last Days On The Road.

This was the Nissan March’s last shoot before we raised it. I tried to get it through a test and ultimately had to face the fact this was no longer the machine for the long 220km commute I have to do every day driving up and down to JDM Distro.

Photos Unboxed: Shadow Rotary

Here are the photos from our trip to shadow rotary back in 2019 when we dropped flips engine up for a teardown and had a look at their shop. I’m not sure why I didn’t post these when we launched the episode, but a few backlogged articles slipped through the cracks. Nonetheless, I know some people have always enjoyed the little pieces we have thrown on the site over the years and I’m sure many of you have seen the full episode, so ill let the photos do the talking here. Enjoy

Jumping 20 Valve 4A-GE’s & The Trueno Wiring Begins… | Juicebox Unboxed #117

Jumping over 4A-GE’s and the Trueno wiring begins. There is plenty of immature action in this episode, with some interesting information about AE86 production numbers.

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
