We invite some of the best JDM cars, rarely seen on Irish roads, to our annual BBQ.
Barry is back to hack out some surprise rust under the AE86 arches. We also launched Patreon and Discord!
After Reuben finally blows his RB25, we look closer at his C33 Laurel, and he shares his future plans for the car. Oh yeah, we’ve also launched the shop.
We are heading back to Japan and want to relaunch the shop. Also, here is an update on what exactly is happening with Juicebox and the AE86 and where I want it to go.
Sadly, we won’t have Josh’s E30 around anymore. I did love the look of this car. At first, the square front end wasn’t doing it for me, but I trusted his judgement, and the final product was incredible. It was inevitable, hanging around with a collection of Japanese car enthusiasts, the parts and style choices would rub off on him sooner or later.
People can take so many different parts and routes in Japanese car culture; it’s a never-ending sea of inspiration. Josh decided to take a more Japanese-inspired route with this build. Steering away from the usual Irish look for these cars, he sources some Equip 40s and work Meisters. The idea was to build an E30 you would come across in an old Battle Magazine or Drift Tengoku. An E30 style like an AE86 or something from that era, Bride seats, a cage, Nardi wheel, Greddy gauges, stripped rear end, and Japanese wheels. I loved this thing, but Josh had enough of it, eventually selling it to fund an S15. He had finally crossed over to the dark side. Im glad he built this car. It shows how good these cars can look on smaller Japanese wheels with a drift-inspired look. Anyway, ‘s ill let these photos do the rest of the talking. Enjoy
