My visit to JoyFast

Here's my first coverage for a roadster shop; enjoy! More to come!

Joyfast is a very cool, small and relaxed shop.

When you enter the shop, you can see cool parts everywhere:

Their collection of original shift knobs (the wood shift knobs are the secret items they don't show on their website, but we can get them) :)

You know someone's really into Miatas when he sit ALL DAY LONG in a NA seat hahaha:

He's also got a wall of all of the race cars he's owned or worked in collaboration:

Enough shop pictures, let's see the beasts he's working on...

When you enter the garage, all you can see is 2 bright yellow cars, but let's start with the most popular and known NA shop car:

You can see he's working some cool deep-dish 16'' TE37 wheels. Those side vents actually are Honda Accord fog lights inserts... pretty cool !

JoyFast sloggan is Lightweight Sport Car, his car has fiberglass doors, most of the panels also are fiberglass, not much of OEM items can be found in the interior and he's running acrylic windows (even the hardtop one) and fiberglass trunk:

It has a very functional interior:

And some RARE Mazdaspeed racing seats some people would sell their kidneys for:

But all that car is nothing without a cool engine ;)

Then, we can see his NC shop car, running the same yellow paint and gloss black TE37 wheels + Garage Vary hardtop:

It will also be running soon the Jet Stream induction chamber for NC, as many shops start running it, it seems it's pretty efficient modification:

BONUS PHOTO: While I was driving around, I saw this MINI-only shop that seemed to have gotten themselves this NA with front-end conversion... pretty cool!

Nice pics. I tried out a current-gen Miata a few days ago (yep, in this weather) and fucking loved it. Hairdressers' car or not, it's an excellent little roadster, and a lot of fun for the money it costs. Definitely going to be looking for one as a second car in a few years.
