It’s been a while. We’re nearing the end of summer, and the development of the GRC is wrapping up for now. I’m looking forward to finally hitting the track again.

This year has been an eventful one—learning new things, exploring endeavors I don’t have much experience in, all while juggling my personal life and career.

Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported me while I’ve been crazy about finding new ways to express my creativity and problem-solving outlets lol. You know who you are.

I hope I can continue finding ways to give back to the community. Some of you already know I’m pretty much an open book, and I’ll always do my best to answer any questions y’all might have or share what I’ve learned along the way.

Looking forward to shaking down the GRC at the track and pushing toward the next goals.

Thank you Jay for illustrating my car. No AI slop here, should i make this into a t-shirt?

Time to replace that @sub2club sticker with a sub155 one 😭

Updated to the facelift bumper this year, and it fits the overall aggressive look aesthetic of the car so much better.

One of the last track days before the summer.

Thank you @pitgarage_la for the assist on installing the @paragon_brakes

Ive always wanted a subtle oem+ looking intake system. @piras.motorsport quality and attention to detail is out of this world.

Thank you @apexracinggroup for a fun track day.

@apexiusa @jqwerks and @hidecraft.usa giving the interior a great fit and finish which adds to the great driving experience.

It’s been a while.. but here it is!

The next iteration of the GRC- so it only makes sense to bring it up to date with the facelift. Took me a while to execute on this vision. It might not seem like much, but I’ve always liked the OEM+ look and subtle aggression.

Time for the next goals!

The way I approach my car builds is very methodical. It’s about the execution in little details that make up the bigger picture. Everything has a purpose and is cohesive to the overall theme.

Jk, I just do it for fun and it’s not that serious 🤣

Pretty stoked to say I’ll be out at FuelFest at the OC Fairgrounds showing my GR Corolla in the GR Corral with @gr.movement.

Honestly, I’m just excited to hang out with friends, talk cars, and be around a bunch of cool builds for the day. The car community is always more fun when you get to meet people in person instead of just seeing cars online.

If you’re going to be there, come through, say what’s up, and check out the cars. I’ll probably be around the GR Corral most of the day.

My website is officially live!

For now, it’s mainly a web store curated around the GR Corolla platform — parts I either run, believe in, or would honestly consider putting on my own car. We also working on adding more products in the coming weeks, so if you don’t see something, dont hesitate to message me and ill see if i can get it for you.

Joymachine was started in 2021 with a pretty simple idea: automotive enjoyment.

It was never really about clout, hype, or trying to build something for other people’s approval. It’s always been about enjoying cars for what they are and what they mean to us.

Building them, driving them, tracking them, maintaining them, making mistakes, learning, and slowly making things better along the way.

Whether it’s a track day, late nights in the garage, or small details that probably only you care about — that’s the stuff that makes this fun.

That’s what Joymachine is about.

Built with intent. Driven with passion.
