After days on the island, we finally commit and drive our 45-year-old Corolla off it. No turning back now.
I had no idea Gran Canaria had a car scene like this. From late-night meets to wild drives and hidden garages, this island completely surprised us.
Picked up a 45-year-old Corolla on a remote island. Didn’t expect what came next. Episode 1 of the Shitbox Safari begins now.
Tearing into the KE70 and finding a few surprises inside… interior out, wiring chaos, vents confusion, and a bit more progress on the build.
Yesterday was one of the hardest days we’ve had on the channel. Reuben was caught in a crash over the crest at Mondello, and his beloved C33 Laurel was destroyed. Thankfully, he’s okay, but the car is in a bad way.
This episode is a tribute to Laurel, to Reuben, and to the years of memories this car has given us all. We’re going to do everything we can to bring it back.
To help with the rebuild, we’ve launched a limited-run T-shirt and sticker. After covering production costs, all profits will be allocated toward getting the C33 back on its feet and straightened out. Link below for more
I finally found my dream 180SX… one of the last surviving 326 Power / Car Planner Zone demo cars from the mid-2000s Japanese drift era. And now I have to save it.
We stumbled upon a rare RX7 and a cool shed while hunting for 350Z parts in the middle of Ireland.
An abandoned Irish drift car that had been sitting for eight years, the Prodrift 350Z. This is where it started.
A 60-year-old Datsun pickup fitted with an R33 RB engine—something you don’t see every day. We check our our friend Taylors truck and his garage.
An Irish Corolla KE70 van with a shed-built V8 swap—something that really shouldn’t exist, but somehow does.
Final Bout at Nikko Circuit, with AE86s, KE70s and some of the best style drifting around. The scene is still very much alive, here are some photos from the day.
The Mitto Natto AE86, one of the most famous 86s to ever exist, we get a close up of it at a famous 86 shop Ukiya Shokai
A look around a K12 NISMO March Cup car, saved from being scrapped. Here are some photos from it and our trip to First Joyce.
Yamanashi is a great track, usually packed with Corollas buzzing around. We got lucky with the weather on this trip, with a strong mix of cars showing just how fun the place can be.
