We Head to Shadow Rotary, Irelands only Rotary specialist shop to see if Flips 13B from the RX7 is in good shape.
We unearth some Toyota Starlet Turbo’s, and Seans rare AE86 parts hoard in this second instalment from our visit to his garage
We take a look at the AE86 Trueno from our old “Love Affair” video and the rest of Sean’s wild collection of cars. This will be a two-part episode.
Juicebox turns ten this year, and we hit 100k subscribers with the channel! For this episode, we wanted to do something special. We invite you to fall down the rabbit hole as we explain the origins of Juicebox and give a not so brief history of the early years before the video series.
My First Time Drifting! After a couple of weekends getting the BMW ready for action, Reuben teaches me how to skid the Sketchbox E36.
We give the sketchiest E36 in Ireland some much-needed love before a drift day with fresh Coilovers from Maxpeeding Rods, brand new bushings and a slightly decent exhaust system.
Big steps! The AE86 gets a coat of fresh paint after two years as a bare shell! Jackie finished the seam sealer inside the Trueno and we fit a radiator to the E36.
We drive a Ralliart Mitsubishi Colt Version R, the last hot hatch from a company that gave us so many great cars. We also drive its older brother, the Mivec Mirage Cyborg ZR. Enjoy this rare Mitsubishi distraction.
How about some Trueno progress? We move the AE86 shell over to Flip’s paint booth to get the bottom end ready for its final coat of paint.
We check out a Mitsubishi Turbo Kei car you’ve probably never heard of called an “EK” this is not to be confused with a Civic. Josh get his M3 powered E30 running for the first time.
What does my AE86, Initial D and Takumi have to do with each other? Back in 2006 the voice actor for Takumi, Shin-ichiro Miki showcased my AE86’s engine bay on a Japanese TV show. They follow him around in his Initial D Trueno as he talked to like-minded enthusiasts about the chassis. These findings led me down a rabbit hole to try and map my Trueno’s history.
Jackie sprays an underseal onto the AE86 to protect it from Irish weather. One big step closer to having this Trueno on all four wheels.

Barry finished up the metalwork on the AE86 so we can seal the bottom of the car and get it ready for paint.
I don’t need to get into too much detail about the back story to shooting these cars; it’s the very same as the Cut Loose guys. The Reckless tribe crew were chatting to us on social media and decided to meet up with the Cut Loose boys and road trip their way to the Juicebox BBQ.
