Blog posts have taken a back seat. It seems the blog has died, and now photography feels like it’s under attack due to tik-tok and reels. In a few years, it feels like photography will be utterly pointless on social media as we move towards a more on-the-fly video type of consumption. Regardless, I love shooting photos and have always enjoyed documenting friends’ cars and such.
A productive weekend at the shed, finding more Trueno problems, fitting the headlight assembly, checking out Foley’s forgotten S14 and more.
We visit our friend Mikey’s house, to see my old AE86 shell, chat about the Corolla addiction and check out his pride and joy.
Shed scenes from our day fabricating an exhaust and fecking around with the car outside. It was so good to get this out in the sunlight finally.
There’s not a whole lot to say here. I’ll come back and update this with a proper spec list soon. For now, please enjoy this shoot we did with Jackies EG civic when it was fresh off of the press.
This Honda is the ultimate reliable EG civic track car, the perfect blend of 90s race style and modern tech finished to a show standard. I’d expect nothing less from our friend Jackie Fitz.
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.
After a month of awful brakes on the Trueno, we finally figured out the problem.
We take the AE86 out for its first drive with the new engine set up around the business park, no panels, lots of noise and lots of laughs!
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
For anyone who has been here before, the feeling as you nervously wait for the engine to fire up, years and years of putting time and effort into this build with friends because this car is a communal effort hoping it will pay off.
After years of building, the AE86 runs and drives! A huge milestone for the project. Also, our shop is finally live and fully stocked!
You’ve probably arrived here after watching the recent Juicebox video. Eamons car is another local machine, long overdue some attention both on here and on Youtube. The problem is when your friends have these remarkable cars, You always leave them on the back burner. There’s no sense of urgency to do photoshoots as you think they will be around forever.
We take a closer look at this rowdy perfectly styled BN sports kitted R32 Skyline Sedan
A few days after the maiden voyage of Flips FC on the streets, we decided to do a shoot. This photoset was supposed to be the main photoshoot of the car. Flip hadn’t finished the car’s final form yet, so we decided to wait. Regardless, I hadn’t been shooting as much car photography as I used to, especially of close mates and their epic cars. I’ve taken stuff for granted as I’m always around it in the sheds.
