Flips RX7 fires up for the first time, and it sounds glorious, and we fit wheels to my AE86.
Here are a few shots of Evan’s lovely GX71 work in progress. We pulled it out of the shed about a month ago to shoot the B roll for the episode as I had realised we filmed nothing extra from the original video.
Evan is excellent on camera once he warms up to it, and it was nice to immortalise his build in the videos. Much like all our builds, progress has been slow due to other life circumstances. He has a clear vision of what he wants to achieve with this build over the next year, and I’m looking forward to this taking shape.
For now, enjoy these pictures of Evans time capsule. This GX71 was the same base he was searching for, and he somehow came across it on the auctions, a low mileage, un-modified example, a perfect slice of eighties bubble economy goodness.
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.
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.
We had some good times with this little Civic. We were always one of the first out at each event and usually the last to pack up. The car loved every second of the punishment we gave it on track with its trusty little B16A. Continue Reading
A sad day for Juicebox! I sold the EK4 Civic and explained, with updates on Merch and what’s coming up on the channel.
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.”
A Panda Levin AE86, the first Corolla we spotted on our first trip to Japan, is imported into Ireland and calls down to the shed.
A few shots from a random weekend messing about at the shed, sometimes I have to remind myself to take some photos as there is always something interesting going down.
In this episode, we update you on the AE86, enjoy some misery with the March, and have fun with a Rusty Micra.
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 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.
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
A Hidden shed Tour! We take a look at a freshly built AE86 Levin and a shed full of Japanese classics.
