Tokyo Archives - Juiceboxforyou

We returned to Tokyo; we met with our friend Alec, who works for speed hunters at Daikoku. Unfortunately, the spot was a bust, so I was offered a seat in Alan’s 86. Some older heads might remember this car from years ago; Alan worked for Tomei years ago and helped develop the Poncam for the 86. It was wild tearing around the streets of Tokyo in his 86. Eventually, we made our way to another parking area packed with Hiace vans and a few dotted 86’s. If you’ve seen this video, you’ve probably seen how wild this place was.

After we spent some time at this PA, unexpectedly bumping into some channel fans, which is a rare and exciting thing to happen in Japan, we made our way down towards Shibuya, as we had heard there was a low rider meet happening.

Sadly, luck was not on our side with this. The meet had been cancelled, but we stuck around with Dino and Alec to watch a very diverse selection of traffic, from American cars to traditional Japanese tuned machines, roll through. Enough rambling from me; enjoy the photos from this night below.

Andrew and friends put together a Juicebox car meet in Japan, and many cool machines came out of the woodwork.

We visit the worlds most unique AE86 shop, known as Noby Booth and get lucky with a private tour of Liberty Walk’s collection as we work our way back to Nagoya.

We binge on world-class drifting, D1 at Meihan, Night drifting at Yamanashi, finishing the night off on a mountain touge. Quite possibly the most drift packed day we’ve ever experienced.

So there it was, a lifelong dream holiday done and dusted. For our last night in Tokyo and we decided to make our way down to the Sega Joyopolis to check out the Initial D game, afterward, we grabbed a few beers and hit the beach to reflect on the madness we had witnessed over the last two weeks.

After a night of madness on the docks, we woke to a familiar Irish sight, a soggy grey morning. Regardless of the weather, there was a shop that had been on the hit list for a very long time and I was incredibly eager to check it out before our trip came to an end. Tec Arts has been around for a long time and is a very familiar name in the 86 world. They primarily deal with AE86’s these days but are known to have built some very cool cars over the years.

Tokyo would be our final destination on the road trip, I was a little sad knowing this once in a lifetime adventure was coming to an end, lucky for us we were staying in Tokyo for three nights and had the Van which would give us the freedom to explore the surrounding area. Butterflies grew as we edged closer to the beast.

During our trip to Japan, we ventured as many Up Garages as we came across. There was always one close to tuning shops and just after some food and a visit to Top Secret we spotted a relativly big one on the same street. Each one is completely different so its really a lucky dip, some are heavily packed with absolute gold whilst others were a little tamer, regardless there was always something of interest in each one of them.

Entering Mongolia during the Mongol Rally was an exciting moment for us all. We had survived police corruption in Kazakhstan..
