This day was something Gerry had spoken about for years. Over fires in his backyard in Canada, drinking a couple of beers, we would chat about bringing home a Canadian AE86 just because they didn’t exist in Ireland.

I’ve been slacking lately, updating this side of Juicebox with articles. Years ago, it used the website, everything was about getting an excellent piece up with photos, and I enjoyed that pace.

I have to make sure im releasing the content that matches the episodes’ dates.

Since July, the weather has been good. It was hard to sit inside and find time to make it happen. Hopefully, over the winter months, I can double down on the content, as there are considerable gaps in the backlog due to japan in a van and other bits.

Jimmy Oakes calls down to the shed on his tour of Ireland with Dave from Driftgames and enjoys some rings in Reuben’s slightly broken C33 Laurel.

A great moment. The AE86 finally has two working headlights! We fit brand new Raybrig lights and bulbs and appreciate the two functioning Truneo pop-ups.

A couple of Epic S2000s reside in the town I work in every day, so I decided to hook up with them to make a video and shed some light on a lesser-loved chassis.

The Dream AE86 bumper lands at JDM Distro from Japan. Here’s a little mash-up of a work day in the life, unloading dream parts with a remarkable history.

Our friend Gerry shows us his freshly imported one-owner SR5 AE86, which he brought back from Canada, along with his BRZ.

We fit the new exhaust, but it doesn’t go to plan. To save the day, we repair the new AE86 dashboard.

We figure out how to make a new exhaust system for the AE86

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!

We install brake lines on the AE86 and eventually get the callipers to work. As usual, it’s not without a slice of typical Trueno torture!

We reset the clocks on a cluster for the AE86, and add some parts to the 4A-GE

WEighties Toyota goodness! Evan gives us a look around his freshly imported Toyota GX71 Cresta, with just over 50k km on the clock. This thing is a proper time capsule.

In this episode, we update you on the AE86, enjoy some misery with the March, and have fun with a Rusty Micra.

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.
