  • Happy Birthday 1013MM

    Happy Birthday 1013MM

    Most people have heard of 1013MM or more like seen their photography work. In actuality, 1013MM is only one man, and that man is our good friend John Zhang. John Zhang produces amazing work in automotive, event, and life style pieces. In celebration of John Zhang’s birthday, he held a well-organized meet on 10-13-2011 that brought out high-quality cars and good times with friends. Check out the photos and video to see the many people that came and John Zhang. Happy birthday again John.

    We were in full force that night, we haven’t met up in a while and it was good to see everyone all together.

  • Formula D Round 7 – Title Fight

    Formula D Round 7 – Title Fight

    Hi everyone! My name is Jay and I’ll be also posting coverage and articles on this website. An introduction will come later, but for now, here’s my coverage of this past weekend’s Formula D Round 7 at Irwindale Speedway – “The Title Fight”.

    For some of us, the day started relatively early. Tim came to my house in Irvine from a 5:00am shift at work, the Yoshi’s brothers were up early to wipe down Alex Yoshi’s car, and I…. well I didn’t sleep at all. I was to enter Minh’s IS250 for him because he was busy with work and Alex was going to enter his e36 in the Fatlace Slammed Society Showcase.

    Two freeways and one gas station later, we arrived at the speedway at 10:30am and were welcomed by a cluster of showcase entrants lined up front – awaiting their parking spots for the showcase.

  • FD: Slammed Society Irwindale 2011

    It was the final round for Formula D at Irwindale Speedway this past weekend, and everyone was pretty excited to see who would win this season.  I had the opportunity to go this year, not to show the car, but just to hangout and do some media type stuff.  Our friend Alex Yoshioka ended up winning first placed for Slammed Society; congratulations to Yoshi for that victory. We love his BMW. Here is video coverage from Slammed Society that was held for this final round. Hope you all enjoy it and look out for more coverage from Formula D.

    Thanks

  • Keychain Visits 714 Tires & Goes Blasted

    Visited 714 Tires in Westminster, California to get tire service and alignment done on Keith Cheng aka Keychain’s 2000 White Honda Accord v6.  This is the best place you can go for well-priced tires, stretch tire services, alignments, and awesome customer services.

    714 TIRES
    14142 WILLOW LANE
    WESTMINSTER CA 92683

    After that we left 714 Tires and headed to ACE Mufflers to get Keychain’s blast pipes installed. Sorry did not get any proper sound clips of it from what was filmed. If you catch him on the streets, it sounds mean.

    Thanks for reading and watching.

    Stay EZ.
