    Balboa Chillin’

    This will be my little introduction here on Royal Origin. Over the weekend, a couple of my friends and I went out on a little adventure to try and look for some places to shoot at. We tried to stay away from those traditional parking structures that everyone seems to choose as their default location for night shoots. We tried some locations around the Newport area, and came up with some spots near Fashion Island.

      Here is Chris super slammed Nissan 350z. Many of you will think “wow, that car must ride like shit at that height.” Surprisingly, the ride on this Z is probably the most comfortable ride I’ve ever felt in any slammed car that sits as low as this does.

      His car is still a work in progress and you guys should definitely keep an eye out on his car in the near future.

    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.
