This is an insane adventure across Southeast Asia, finishing in Japan. Enjoy Reubens six-month bike trip, narrowly avoiding death on his sketchy motorbike. Something different to start the new year.
We test fit the 4A-GE to the Trueno and see what kind of clearance we have with the 100mm trumpets. We also try on the Goodline Hood to see if it works with the engine installed.
We had some good times with this little Civic. We were always one of the first out at each event and usually the last to pack up. The car loved every second of the punishment we gave it on track with its trusty little B16A. Continue Reading
A sad day for Juicebox! I sold the EK4 Civic and explained, with updates on Merch and what’s coming up on the channel.
A Glitch in the simulation! Seeing this car on the other side of the world in Ireland, what are the odds?. What’s incredible is we made a friend in the process! Danny Gave it socks in last nights video before he went home. His Corolla was the first AE86 we spotted in Japan back in 2016, and it was surreal to see it once in our recent video.
I got a message out of the blue one night, and it was a guy called Danny from Wexford. He had watched our first Japan video, and he couldn’t believe his eyes. His very own 86, which he had recently imported, had just driven past us on the motorway in our feature-length “Japan without a plan.”
A Panda Levin AE86, the first Corolla we spotted on our first trip to Japan, is imported into Ireland and calls down to the shed.
A few shots from a random weekend messing about at the shed, sometimes I have to remind myself to take some photos as there is always something interesting going down.
In this episode, we update you on the AE86, enjoy some misery with the March, and have fun with a Rusty Micra.
Here are the photos from our trip to shadow rotary back in 2019 when we dropped flips engine up for a teardown and had a look at their shop. I’m not sure why I didn’t post these when we launched the episode, but a few backlogged articles slipped through the cracks. Nonetheless, I know some people have always enjoyed the little pieces we have thrown on the site over the years and I’m sure many of you have seen the full episode, so ill let the photos do the talking here. Enjoy
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.
Let’s take a closer look at Kevin’s AE86 from the last video. We were lucky the sun came out that day to show off its incredible blue paint. Kevin had been building this car for over seven years and had just picked it up a couple of days before we called out to visit. He was very eager to show me the Levin. Continue Reading
A Hidden shed Tour! We take a look at a freshly built AE86 Levin and a shed full of Japanese classics.
I’m very fortunate to work in a place that imports parts from Japan. It’s as much a blessing as it is a curse. Most of our monthly wages never really leave JDM Distro but working here has enabled me to source some of the best parts for my AE86 build over the last few years.
Being able to drop parts at the depot in Japan was once in a lifetime stuff. Here was a Goodline 86 hood, which I had listed after for many, many years. We barely snugged it into the back of the Alphard and drove halfway across Japan to drop it off just outside of Tokyo.
YES! Parts and magazines Arrive at JDM Distro from our Japan in a Van trip, making it one of the best days ever at work.
