Joel’s RX7 FD lit up the internet when a late-night canyon run, captured on an Insta360, went viral. The footage was raw and electric—the menacing howl of the rotary echoing through the dark, fire spitting from the exhaust, and Joel threading the FD through impossibly tight mountain switchbacks. It was the kind of clip that instantly demanded a replay, pulling viewers into the chaos of speed and danger. Find it at @gunsairacing Instagram page. 

The ending turned it from just another canyon run into a talking point across the car community. Mid-corner, Joel suddenly lost brake feedback, sending the FD skidding terrifyingly close to the cliff’s edge. Some say it was ABS cutting in at the worst moment, others blame driver error, while plenty argue it was both. The controversy fueled the video’s reach—because everyone had an opinion, and nobody could look away.

That one clip catapulted Joel and his RX7 into cult status overnight. The reposts, edits, and heated comment sections didn’t just create hype—they embodied the community. Suddenly, people weren’t just watching; they were connecting, arguing, and celebrating the raw spirit of grassroots driving. That energy became the DNA of Gunsai: a movement defined by passion, inclusivity, and the thrill of pushing cars to the edge (not literally).

Now, Joel's FD RX7 is evolving. It's in the middle of a massive single-turbo swap and aerodynamic overhaul, set to unleash serious power and precision. The next chapter won’t just be about viral canyon footage—it’ll be about track domination. Canyon star turned track weapon—the story’s just getting started.
