Beach Burger DBAP

As some of you know, I started working for Illest Orange County since June and now Big Vinh works there as well. Mark Arcenal was down here visiting the shop, so we had to show him Big Vinh’s S13.

Mark was pretty excited to make an Instagram video of Vinh’s car.

Vinh’s S13 was very bright and shiny today.

Mark in Instgram mode, check out that stance for steady sliding videos.

Another Marc came to visit us too. The fucking limo of BMW’s.

Jay wanted to see Vinh’s tattoo really bad and couldn’t wait for him to take off his shirt.

Our new Set the Sun bumper sticker. You can get it here.. http://shop.royal-origin.com/product/set-the-sun-box-sticker

Crazy how a set of wheels can change a car so much. Vinh’s car was pretty cool before with the Varrstoens, but with the XD-9’s it totally changes the way you view this car. I don’t know if it’s the design of the wheel or the color, but Vinh has made me fall in love with his S13.

After chilling a bit, we decided to roll out to the uselesss meet at Beach Burger.

Edris is always telling us DBAP and come out to the meet. If you don’t know cool internet lingo, DBAP is “don’t be a pussy”.

John couldn’t find parking… Yeah that’s three parking spots on the left.

Man these cars are TC… (too cool).

Jimmy’s car looking good on the Work Equips.

O WHALES.

Jimmy had a Cosmo mag in his car… He actually reads it for the articles.

Elvis singing in a empty room.

Royal Origin street racers. Coming soon…….

Good night, I had fun with you today.

Wheel Wednesday

Finally had a day off work and it was spent putting in work on cars. Shavi met up with me early in the morning because we both had to go to Rotiform. I was going to be dropping off my Junction Produce Scaras to get the faces milled down to fit an aftermarket lip and Shavi was going to order some Air Lift products through Jason.

Weird seeing this car more often now, Shavi’s MS3 use to be the rarest unicorn.

As soon as we reach Rotiform, Orbit was there to greet us.

You can always expect some cool rides over at the Rotiform parking lot like Brian’s S4 on Rotiform INDs.

Rotiform INDs look perfect on any big body cars.

Right next to the S4 is Jason’s Mercedes CLS 55 AMG on their new Rotiform WRW.

Very cool design by Rotiform.

After our trip to Rotiform, I drove by the Boss Company garage to see what they were up to.

Jimmy was taking out his Work VS Mesh face and replacing it with a Work Equip face.

Adam had Vinh’s S13 in the garage for a full detail job.

Kevin and Vinh were working on putting in some KW suspension for Kevin’s S2000.

So many parts laying around..

In the midst of it, an ice cream truck was chased down by three grown ass adults.

I regret nothing.

Adam’s lipless Subie.

For the past month, while I wait for my Scara’s to be rebuilt, Vinh has been kind enough to let me rock his Weds Bazerias. 20’s don’t look too bad on my car, but it only fits my rears.

Installing the Mugen front lip.

That mirror finish..

Adam made it look like it just came fresh out of the paint shop.

You can see the details of Vinh’s shelf through his paint. If anyone needs a detail job from Adam you can contact him at Adametayeb@gmail.com.

Thanks to JDM Chemicals for their awesome products!

I love bokeh even if there isn’t a subject to focus on.

Jimmy’s final product.

BOOSHMA V3

Sad to say, BOOSHMA V2 never came into fruition and Derek had decided to part ways with his S13 project. It was just too much work and Derek did not have any means to get around to work and school. Derek was lucky enough that Vinh hooked him up with our old friend Jimmy of Super Autobacs on a pretty clean GS300. This GS300 has alot of history with us, Vinh did his second air setup on this car and I remember drooling over this car every time I went to Super Autobacs. 6 grand later and here we have BOOSHMA V3.

The infamous license plate.

Jay devirginizing Derek’s brand new IND’s by fingering each spoke..

Shiny.

Getting ready for lift off.

This is BOOSHMA V3 aired up.

As you can tell this is a late post, you can find a picture of Derek’s car finished in the WFC fest post.

With car shows in full effect, everyone is getting their cars ready with their newest mods. Yogi from Fatlace recently started his Lexus GS430 project and already it has changed quiet a bit.

The never ending projects stay never ending.

A Weekend in Sin City

It was that time of the year again where Royal Origin invades Las Vegas to have our 3rd annual meet and greet in the city of sin. As the years passed, nothing has changed for the most part. We do it to have fun with our friends and family, and love making new friends with each passing year.

Some of you might know this by now, but I recently went Universal Air bags over BC Racing coilovers with Accuair analog management. Thanks to Bag Riders and Unlimited Auto Craft for helping me get it all together. Because of this, I was constantly working on getting everything fine tuned and safe to make the journey to Las Vegas. In the end, I made it to the meet with only one hour left before the meet ended. Regardless, I was happy to see everyone who made it out.

The top two pictures you see above is my car aired up at 80 PSI, which is also my drive height. Here I am cruising to Red Rock Canyon, which is in the North-West corner of Las Vegas.

With Red Rock Canyon as our back drop we have Chivas’ Civic, Ashton’s IS350, Neel’s Accord, Alex’s E36, and my Mazdaspeed 3.

My car aired out on 18×10 +25 Cosmis Racing MR7, which were powder coated Gloss White.

Overall I am super satisfied with the Cosmis Racing MR7. The concave is extremely aggressive, and the wheels feel a bit lighter than most cast wheels these days.

You can see more of my build items over at MazdaFitment.com.

Gassed up and ready for some Las Vegas night shots with Goco Photography. Look out for more LV weekend coverage.

Thanks

StanceWorks | Avila Invitational

The boys & I went on a road trip to check out StanceWorks Avila Invitational. We wanted to see cars we usually don’t see and enjoy some scenery. The day started at 4:30A.M. with 5 hour energy drinks and hot cheetos.

Gassing up before the longass 4-hour drive.

I rode along with Derek; he drove this low with a packed car, which actually helped with the stiff ride. It was super bouncy, but I still managed to take a nap.

Thursty Thursday.

Water rolled down our faces, and our worst fears became reality when the rainy clouds appeared. All week long, the summer rays were shining bright as ever, but on the night of our meet, nature decided that it was thirsty for some rain. Hours before the meet, we were still debating whether or not we should have the meet or postpone it because at 9pm, the weather forecast predicted thunderstorms. Like all of our previous meets, we decided last minute that the meet would continue and we didn’t really care who came out because we had to get our Peach Me Sweatea fix. I rolled up early and to my surprise, there were already a gang of cars. I didn’t know there were people as down as us to kick it even during thunderstorms.

Cars were constantly coming through; the Tastea lot was overflowing with rain and cars, so people started parking in the fire lanes and handicap zones.

Night Import Collaboration

William Lee of Night Import hosted a meet. Shavi, Minh, and I decided to go check it out. We thought that it would have a crazy turn-out, but what we encountered last night was much more than we anticipated. Lines and crowds of people were in the structure that the meet was held at. It was like swimming in a sea of people.

It seriously felt like we were in the Tokyo Drift movie, getting ready to drift in between pillars. The crazy thing was, we got there when the meet was already dying down. Will told us that earlier, cars were coming in from every direction, and that he was so sure that cops were going to end it. Luckily, no cops showed up, and the meet was a success. (more…)

WFC Venice Beach 2012

This past weekend was the Wrong Fitment Crew meet in Santa Monica/Venice Beach. It was a highly anticipated meet since many websites, blogs, and forums were promoting the event. We all planned to meet up bright and early so we could all roll deep together to the meet, but that did not happen. Some of us met in Irvine and others met in Walnut. Fortunately, I live in the Walnut area, so I thought I could wake up 10 minutes before the meet-up time & still make it. Well, that was not the brightest idea. Since I woke up late, everyone else who was caravanning with us ended up being late as well (sorry everybody), and on top of that, the fact that I have an unfunctional car did not help. We had to take two extra freeways because I could not use the normal 10 freeway (sorry again). But, after all the hecticness, we finally arrived in Santa Monica.

We arrived around 10:30 A.M. Once we got there, our caravan was lost. There were so many cars coming from every direction, so we had to let people in between us. We waited about 15 minutes on the main street that led us to the parking lot, but we all ended up waiting for nothing because we soon found out that the parking lot was full, and the police were not letting anyone in. We somehow all managed to meet up again and parked in a parking lot across from the event.
