    Its JDM Yo x Royal Origin – You Think You Can Stance?

    “Are you so low that it takes an hour to angle up that slightly inclined driveway that even my 90 year old grandfather can wheel chair up by himself? Do you think you have the best technique and style for getting up that fucked up driveway? Then prove it!”

    At the first ever Its JDM Yo – You Think You Can Stance? competition a variety of vehicles came to check it out and accept the challenge.

  • More Than Cars: Family Time is the Best Time

    More Than Cars: Family Time is the Best Time

    Lets put all the good looking cars aside for a moment and talk about something more than the machines we drive. Behind every car is an individual. They say: that what one chooses to do to their car is a reflection of themselves. In that case, I guess every VIP guy is fat and wears a suit, all the statically slammed guys only wear clothes from the Illest/Fatlace Boutique, and every “functional” guy can recite an Initial D episode word-for-word. All stereotypes and lame jokes aside, its amazing how these cars we modify, whichever style it may portray, can bring us individuals together to have good times and memories.

    The night before Autocon, we had a Pre-Christmas party at Garage NGUASS. Well, it was more of a last minute “i still got stuff to put on my car” garage night, but we still managed to get some good bonding time. Royal Origin mom, Jennifer, had organized a pot-luck and Secret Santa gift exchange for us and of course it finished off with some Team NguApex (Minh & myself) beer pong ownage.

  • Autocon Collaboration 2011

    Autocon Collaboration 2011

    This year’s Autocon 2011 in Irvine, California was a huge success with over 4,000 attendees, 450 cars, 30 vendors, 15 food trucks, and many models who came out that day. We would like to take the time to thank everyone on the Autocon staff that helped put this event together. Even though, the focal point are these cars at the event, it is mainly about the donations and donated toys that this event was able to accumulate for the less fortune for the holiday season.

    Royal Origin & CO

    Here is my video coverage of the Canibeat and Royal Origin collaboration. Over 30 cars met up very early in the morning; we were even able to see the very last lunar eclipse of the year at the same time! Then drove down together as a group to roll in and organize at the show. Once again it was good meeting all our old and new friends to enjoy the day together, even if it was a very long day at that. This was an excellent way to end the year, before the show season starts up again in 2012.

  • The Sauna : Kendama

    The Sauna : Kendama

    After the Swagadega Nights Volume 1 event this Saturday, everyone still wanted to grab drinks and hang-out after that meet. Eventually that lead them to an awesome spot we like to call The Sauna, because it is so damn hot down there in the underground parking that it makes you sweat.  Nevertheless, here is a video by Rocky Wong of us doing what we do best. Cars. Photography. Friends. Kendama. Video.

    Hope you enjoyed that video.
    If you are interested in getting your own Kendama, you can purchase one from Kendama USA: www.kendamausa.com

  • Apex Hunting Pt:1

    Apex Hunting Pt:1

    As the season of automotive events begin to slow down I have a project to unveil to our readers. Pretty soon, you will be seeing a Royal Origin track car! I was once the pilot of an autotragic Honda Civic but after tracking that slow piece of crap, I have decided that I want to build something cheap but still have the capabilities to eat up some apexes. You can follow the build here on this site and make sure you check back frequently for updates of my build!

  • Halloween

    Halloween

    Getting into the spirit of Halloween, David, Neel, and myself decided to visit our local pumpkin patch and carve some pumpkins. This is pretty much our first time carving a pumpkin, which turned out easier than we thought. We ended up getting two pumpkins; one small and one large one. We decided to trace Royal Origin onto both by David making some vinyl templates so we can trace and carve in quite precise lettering onto the pumpkins. Nevertheless, here is some photos and video of how we had a blast carving up two pumpkins with friends.

    David scooping out the inside seeds, which were later used to make baked pumpkin seeds. Delicious.

  • Searching For New Locations

    Searching For New Locations

    Exploring new locations to take photos of cars is always a challenge. For the kind of cars we have, we’re always worried about speedbumps, dips, train tracks and other road obstacles that aren’t friendly to our cars. Finding the perfect spot with a nice background and a good amount of space that won’t lure any security or local authorities isn’t as easy as it seems. Today, some of the guys and I decided to search for new spots around town. We had already covered everyone’s individual spots that they have discovered, but we felt the need to broaden our locations from simple parking structures and dead end streets.

    Here are a few snaps of our little adventure, as we continue to explore new places, angles, and placements, you can be sure that you’ll find more posts from us coming soon!







     Thanks for reading!
