I’m writing this just after we had one of the biggest washouts at Japfest 2019. These photos are from 2018 as you might have guessed if you attended the event. We were fresh back from Japan this year and didn’t have the time to organise a stand and to be honest because of how bad the weather was, I’m glad we didn’t. Last year we were graced with the greatest summer Ireland had seen since the early nineties. It was also a rare occasion where a bunch of us had cars on the road and were willing to drive them to an event.

We head to Irelands largest gathering of Japanese cars. An annual event held at Mondello Raceway, Japfest is the largest gathering of Japanese cars in Ireland and usually brings out some unexpected treats.

In this episode, we fall down the rabbit hole, trying to find out how many AE86’s Toyota produced worldwide. This episode started because two of our Truenos were 40 cars between each other on the assembly line in 1987 and now they live in the same shed. We also uncover some rare photos and interviews with the head designers and engineers on the AE86 chassis.

Late one evening, a message landed in the Juicebox inbox on Instagram, it was from a Scottish chap called Michael. He was heading to Ireland to pick up a few bits for his 86 and wanted to swing by the shed.

Two brothers with a long love for all things AE86 and Toyota, open the doors to their garage and let us have a look around.

I remember seeing photographs of this S-chassis online many moons ago and couldn’t believe this car was coming to Ireland. I had a chance to see it only once at our local race track, Mondello many years ago and then it seemed to vanish off of the face of the earth.

This is an AE86 heavy episode. We rebuild the 20 Valve Blacktop 4A-GE for the Trueno and we get a surprise 86 visitor from Scotland.

Our friend Jimmy tracks down an RPS13/180SX which he has tried to own for nearly fifteen years.

This time two years ago, we had just ripped the Trueno apart to send the shell down for sandblasting. The 86 was being brought down to Ace Motor Factors in Newbawn co Wexford. We brought it down on a Saturday’s it was going to get blasted on a Tuesday morning. I ensured to get that day off of work to document the entire process; this was something I didn’t want to miss.

Another Blog post about MR X! As we mentioned in a previous post I always come armed with a charged camera and a pocket full of cash. This place is always full of surprised and someday we will look back on guys like this and think about how crazy it was that he could import these cars from the other side of the world and dismantle these cars to save others.

We are gifted an AE86 for the weekend and we rebuild the gearbox in the Trueno.

So many of you have just watched our recent video about our BBQ from last year. Here are some of the photos we somehow managed to get while putting together the event.

We invite some of Ireland finest JDM and more to the annual Juicebox BBQ. We also invite a few friends over from the UK. Ireland has some of the best Japanese cars on the planet, but these days they are well hidden. So, every year we invite the friends we have met over the years down to a free event to eat some burgers and remind ourselves this country still has some of the coolest cars on the planet.
