    Super Ill | Event Coverage

    Super Street and Illest recently had a collaboration meet in Buena Park with all the hype surrounding the meet we decided to check out the big event. Before rolling into the meet, I decided to meet up with some old friends to caravan together into the meet.

    It’s been a while since I was apart of a big caravan to go to a car meet. It was very nostalgic.

    Only the best of the best cars were up at the top floor of the parking structure.

    Still a long line of sick cars rolling into the structure.

    At the peak of the car meet there was barely any room to even move your car around that you could barely move your car to park.

    RWB Meduas. It wouldn’t be a car meet without a RWB Porsche there. Crazy how this would blow people’s minds just a couple of years ago. Now everybody has something wide body.

    A ridiculous amount of people showed up. I haven’t been to a car meet that drew this many attendees in a long time.

    The traffic leaving was so overwhelming that it took us 2 hours just to leave the structure.

    At the end of the 2 hour wait, we were greeted by a crowd of enthusiasts to get a quick glimpse of the hundreds of cars that were in the structure.

    Thank you to Super Street and Illest for having us! I can’t wait for the next one.

    Ryo had a lay over in LA before his journey back to Tokyo and he decided to hang out with us the night before his flight. So some of us met up to get dinner at 4th Street Market.

    All homo, but this photo is probably the cutest photo I’ve seen of my friends.

    Miguel met us up in his presidential SUV.

    When you realize the founders of Royal Origin actually have modified cars.

    After the meet, we stopped by my house to chill and because Ryo and Miguel were staying over.

    It was fun hanging with you Ryo even though it was only a couple of hours. We’ll see again in January!

    The Unveiling | IDLDesign USA

    It seems like every year I’m always going through a mundane cycle. Every year I would be attending the same shows and see nothing different in the car scene. This year however I haven’t been to any shows, so everything looks crazy to me. Something crazy in particular was floating around the internet weeks before SEMA was a render of Mikey from Phaze 2/IDL Design’s Porsche in a new body kit by Old New JP. The design got rid of the Porsche’s headlights and added some vents to the front fender with all of the lights being mounted on the front bumper. To be honest, the render did not look good at all when I first saw it, but when Mikey invited us to come out to the unveiling BBQ, we saw something completely different than the basic render.

    dsc02267

    We got to witness the first Old New JP Porsche in the states. This car is so well put together from the fitment of the wheels to the interior setup. Everything is literally on point.

    dsc02282

    The front end grows on you instantly like weeds in a garden.

    Phaze 2 is known for breaking the internet with their cars. Make sure after this post you go reset your modem.

    On the other corner Jerald was getting his freshly painted and kitted RC350 polished for SEMA.

    Jerald just got the new Work Meisters and Pandem kit to display at SEMA.

    This shop had so many colorful cars on Rotiforms.

    Charles was in town all the way from Amsterdam and decided to come out to the BBQ.

    dsc02365

    Outside in the streets, Phaze 2 had a bunch of friends with nice cars roll to the unveiling, like this RWB.

    After the BBQ, we went to MJ cafe for dessert and drinks…

    Thanks Mikey for having us at your unveiling! The cars are looking sicker than ever!

    Pismo Beach Fun | RO Explore

     Slowly most of us in Royal Origin are converting from slammed cars to lifted trucks and off roading. What an extreme change.. I know, but I guess we’re over scraping and we actually like climbing over big trails and rocks. When it comes to off-roading, camping goes hand in hand, so we decided to go to Pismo Beach to camp and try out Chivas’s new RZR. dsc00417

    Chivas’s decked out 4Runner.

    Angelo’s 350z still not getting enough love. It’s for sale by the way…

    Make sure you check out our online store!

    dsc00485

    We got to Pismo at 1 AM and my Venza got stuck in the stand. Did you know the Venza doesn’t have tow hooks? What the fuck right? Chivas had to pull me out of the stand by my suspension.

    The next morning we got to work on our camp site.

    So awesome that you can camp right on the beach, the sound of the waves is so soothing.

    Loved the campfire vibes. The vibes were so good that Vince fell asleep.

    dsc00566

    The next morning we had a photo shoot of Chiva’s 4Runner and damn it looked good next to the waves.

    dsc00586

    Man I want one.

    dsc00625

    On our way back home, we stopped by Oxnard for Topper’s Pizza. A must try if you’re ever in this area.

    Until next time…

    Beautiful. Great job to whoever owns this car.

    Shout out to Air Runner for good times, hope the video ends up being good.

     Summer’s ending and what’s a better way to bring in the fall season than to have a bonfire? Good thing it was Hayle and Kyren’s birthday, so I didn’t have to plan anything. The party started at 2:00PM, but the real fun didn’t start until night time when everyone decided to come.dsc08682

    I love looking at fires. Not sure why..

    Had the chance to shoot Shavi’s M30 before he was going to redo his exhaust. He recently just finished his M30 and a problem came up where his exhaust hung too low. He wanted to get some shots of it scraping before he went to the exhaust shop to install his new exhaust and some small rolling shots became a full on street fire works show. Check it out here..

    Besides having great burgers, they also have a pretty view in the court yard.

    Late Evolution | Video

    Two years ago my friend Jordan was trading his Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X for Keith’s Lexus IS300, and he wanted to capture his long time love before giving it away. It took me awhile to finish the video because of other side projects and some laziness. So, fast forward to the present day, where I have finally finished putting the video together, Jordan doesn’t have the IS300 anymore, and Keith still has the Evo X.

    Here is the video captured two years ago when Jordan was still in possession. Enjoy.
