20 Years in the Making! Reuniting a Drift Legend with His Iconic AE86 Rebuild!

[@__-vb3ht]

Beyond Yuasa driving the green box again, I'm really excited by you saying you want to make more of these stories happen. I can't imagine what you have in mind, but it's cool to not just have videos documenting whatever is happening in the shed right now, but this sort of "curated" stuff. Drifting and the 90s/2000s Japanese car scene is getting to a point where it should be viewed from a historical viewpoint. The people from back then are still around, but not active anymore, and their stories shouldn't be taken for granted but documented before they are lost to time. Or maybe you will put on more of your own events, or whatever. But I like hearing a KZbinr say that they won't just make more videos but actually do something in the real world no one else is doing. Especially since you want to invite people to join and make it crowdsourced. More of this stuff please

[@juiceboxforyou]

Cheers for the comment, going fulltime with this I want to do more of these stories, and more history lessons too, along with events to celebrate this era, this is hopefully just the start of things if I can keep this thing moving forward ❤

[@nwbfan91]

Thanks

[@juiceboxforyou]

Cheers!

[@realisticdylan935]

This car has so much history, and it's crazy to bring the original owner to drive old car again

[@nofooter4130]

As an American guy who drifts a dumb mustang, I really appreciate you and the other channels that are highlighting this golden era of Japanese Drifting. You are never too old to learn and do something new. I'm 45 years young and started drifting on track 4 years ago. Cheers to you and your crew!

[@JB-sv5pr]

That’s legit !

[@juiceboxforyou]

Cheers man! Means a lot to me!

[@rodrigo4379]

Just amazing! You´re the best

[@yogie707ify]

Thank u for keeping the golden area alive . Reminds me so much of my high school years of watching the scene come over from Japan

[@juiceboxforyou]

Cheers! Means a lot to me too, happy to be able to keep the feeling alive through this medium

[@TeaLan87]

This story is incredible. And to see he has a framed photo of paddy's car doin the parade lap is mind blowing 🤯

[@blazed00420]

This is the best KZbin channel unreal ✌️✌️✌️

[@starfire4493]

We need more of this, I genuinely felt Happy watching this, He needs to drift this thing again one last time!!!!!!!! 🖤

[@illavisions]

Honestly what you're doing with this really just proves how much dedication you have to Japanese car culture, you're a one of a kind fellow Neil and it's amazing to follow you along your journey, thank you ❤

[@TOKYOH.I]

素直にすごいと思った。 奇跡みたいだし、よく見つけてくれたとおもう。

[@NIGHTRIDEPL]

what a story 🥰

[@glenn9k]

This is so cool! Very excited to see the outcome.

[@hurleyireland]

Great video, brilliant part of motorsport history 👏

[@cornelia7526]

That is just beyond cool😍

[@elliotjay2273]

This is beautiful. Full royal treatment for this legend ❤ so excited for this. He needs to do mandatory rings lad 😂

[@stevenplayford8223]

Yes. This.

[@juiceboxforyou]

@@stevenplayford8223 100% getting him to do some ring!

[@346チャンネル]

こんな草ヒロ状態になっていたのか・・・。 それをここまでレストア、素晴らしい！

[@alfie_morrey7855]

The amount of effort Neil puts into these videos is immense, putting his whole into Japanese car culture and bringing it into the spot light is incredible, thank you again for the great vid can’t wait to see this unfold 🙌

[@juiceboxforyou]

Cheers!

[@k0vve_]

Toyota actually sells those little mini Bride AE86 models at their museum shop in Nagoya. I bought one there this march when I visited.

[@juiceboxforyou]

Thats awesome

[@ninjabob8170]

Genuinely decent of you to do this, it will mean a massive amount to him and for everyone else who’s there to see it. Good on you man. 👍🏻

[@Tmorgan2976]

It's your turn to be the legend Neil. We're all rooting for ye and the lads.

[@J_I_Was]

This is so cool and so awesome I can't wait to see the video of him driving it again 😊

[@nbercik5]

Amazing story.

[@DJV4U1]

110% the best KZbin channel out there. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@juiceboxforyou]

Always appreciated thank you

[@bozobaz30]

So much passion for the culture your a G nothing but love and admiration for the OGs.

[@Understeerking]

Juice is number 1

[@juiceboxforyou]

❤❤

[@kanjoracer4914]

This is such a great idea, To reunite these to icons once again. Maybe if were able to share it with Tsuchiya san he could also join in or even help with getting more traction with other drivers to visit?

[@hamiltonsullivan6563]

Honestly Juice box is like a drift archive on youtube! No one I know goes more in depth than you do! Nor works this hard to create history! One of the best chill car channels on youtube! Not for the veiw nor the cloute. Simply just sharing what you love and what we love. I feel like the car community is really lacking this now O'Days and cars have become a fashion trend or a who has the bigger *** kind of thing. Not a community of like minded dudes/chicks that want to mind their own buissness and just Race.

[@juiceboxforyou]

Means a lot to me, cheers! Lots more of this sort of thing to come

[@whelanvidswhelanvids1500]

I wish you every success with this channel man, pure history being documented. Long live the culture

[@david929190]

You get to meet a hero.

[@joshhamblin6692]

Neil your an absolute legend for doing this, ❤ well down mate keep it going

[@davidnrlund7918]

[@texaspowerman]

What a great idea, we will be looking forward to it. The Japan series was all we could have wished for, this is a great direction you’re going in. Congratulations. ✌️

[@gerspunto1]

Absolutely estatic to see one of my photos appear in a juicebox video.... Holy Sh1t❤

[@gafrers]

Fantastic. Love the car and the story

[@Chadkn]

Someone's cutting onions while I was watching this 😭😭 So cool to do that for him and more of this should be done legends only get celebrated once they're gone so happy to see this ❤🙏

[@juiceboxforyou]

Hope he has a nice time here, we will do our best to make him feel like a legend again

[@jessedaniels8315]

Absolutely love this story! Would totally buy a Bride 86 shirt

[@juiceboxforyou]

Ill be releasing them for Pre order on Monday for people outside of Ireland

[@melihspots7939]

It‘s still so insane to think that the whole world comes together for one Corolla. What a car, what a life 😅 Still hoping to make it out to IRL for 86 Fest.

[@teamsano]

What a great gesture, good on ya Neil!👍🏼

[@afdakcustoms456]

[@rossdelaney]

Absolutely beautiful, Neil....credit to you for doing things like this. Can only imagine the emotions when the reunion happens, in a way this is you giving back to a country and culture that has given you (and us through the films) so much.

[@juiceboxforyou]

[@jv2513]

SO COOL

[@Mr_jz_12]

Love hearing stories like this.

[@morganrees6163]

If Rally Ceredigion wasn't on here in Wales I'd be back over. 86fest Ireland is one of the best events I've been to this side of the world. Only found out about it meeting Kyle Laura and Tommy when at Nikko circuit a few years back and was persuaded to drive my Honda Beat over from South Wales.

[@snoopyirl]

That is so heart warming!

[@FujiRoku]

Keep em coming lawd, keep on pushing!!!

[@Boxycivic92]

Great video, thank you for sharing.

[@cskalle1213]

i like the sound of 80s japanese engines!!!!!

[@PGHdrift]

Golden era of drifting where they didnt save anything. Just used and put to the side. Kinda why i am taking my son to japan in spring of 2025 before it all is gone.

[@Mr_jz_12]

Guess they didn't think it'd end up the way it has in japan.

[@juiceboxforyou]

@@Mr_jz_12 Most likely not, just living in the moment when stuff was plentiful

[@RONIN1111]

great video neil
