Karuma Vs Lowballers Round III | Event Coverage

Feels like I’ve been here before, a Friday morning meet up to cruise to Vegas for a car meet, but this time with different faces. It’s been two years since I have given any effort to get back into the car scene and after a depression phase I really want to get back out there and hang with friends that I haven’t seen. The Karuma x Lowballers meet seemed like the perfect event for it and cruising with the homies to Vegas just brought back some nostalgia.

Like I always do, try to get some nice rollers of my friend’s cars. This is Kekoa’s xB rolling slammed on the 15. @alowha_kekoa

We stopped at a McDonalds to wait for Kekoa and ended up seeing a bunch of cool cars.

We asked where they were going and they were also going to Vegas for the Karuma x Lowballers meet.

We ended up going to In-N-Out to fix Kekoa’s air problem. Cuong’s E30, Kekoa’s xB, my GR86 and David’s FJ Cruiser. Oh yeah I bought a GR86.

@seldoondrol clean E30.

After being saved by AJ we were back on the road for more rollers and this time accompanied by AJ’s T-Demand Camry. @ayeeejayyy.

The day of the meet, everyone met up at the Airbnb to cruise together to the meet. Miguel’s Minty Porsche. @mintcoimports

Vince built his LS430 just in time for the meet! @vince_neil

Someone we haven’t seen in a long time, Neel’s LS400 on Work Schwert SC4. @implayaz9

The Lowballers boss, Andrew’s LS400 on TE-37s. @sohigaragedru

Karuma always making the coolest trophies for their meets.

The meet didn’t even start yet and we got people here early for merch.

Jay did a suicide trip in his NSX for the meet! @jaycraaay

Nimo accompanied him on the way to Vegas in his IS300. @findingnimo

Fast and Furious but make it cute.

Shout out to this girl for cosplaying in 100 degree weather.

First time trying Guam food and damn it was so good!

When Taylor gets on top of a car at a meet, bitches go crazy.

Thanks for the good times ridahs!

Vegas for a Day | Road Trips

Did a suicide trip with Shavi to Vegas, so I could surprise the wife. Thanks Shavi for being the real MVP.

The road to Vegas from Orange County.

Met up with Nick and Jeremy for Baby Stacks.

How Shavi looks after driving 4 hours. Check out that bokeh in the back.

Adobo Fried Rice.

Got back to Shavi’s house and checked out what Shavi’s working on for the M30.

Amazing that it can move at this height.

Vertex and camber forever.

H2Oi 2014

H2Oi…You have probably heard of this event that takes places at the end of September in Ocean City, Maryland. If you haven’t heard of it by now, then you are missing out on the biggest automotive gathering on the East Coast. This year some of our friends and I decided to go finally check it out, and experience what H2Oi is all about.

The moment we landed in Ocean City it was worth it already. Nothing but the best the East Coast has to offer, especially in the Euro realm.

Once we were on Coastal Highway aka the strip, there was nothing but modified car after modified car. It was almost as if you were living in a city, where auto enthusiasts out numbered regular people.

There was a good variety of everything cruising up and down the strip throughout the weekend.

One of the craziest things was the amount of police activity. People were getting towed left and right because Ocean City police believed their cars to be unsafe to drive. So, they impounded an enormous amount of cars, but all those cars were towed right back out and back onto the streets. Like this tC from New York.

Then once night hit we witnessed the beautiful chaos. There were even more cars on the strip, and this time doing burnouts for days up and down the strip. And the amount of people watching on the sidewalks was utterly crazy. It was really something you had to be there to experience.

The amount of people during the day was nothing to the amount of people that came out at night.

And then any random area you go, you would see a cool car.

This IS300 with some Rocketbunny front fenders and universal rear flares.

Group of Subarus out in a quite remote area of Ocean City.

More coastal parking lot spottings.

Group shot of some of the new and old friends at the Mazda Fitment x Wrong Fitment Crew meet up.

Hawk-eye STi on Enkei RS05RR.

There sure were a lot of Subarus everywhere.

More of the variety you would see at H2Oi.

FD RX-7 on VIP Modular VX610.

Another car on a set of VIP Modular VX610.

Slant lips have been making their rounds onto more cars recently.

This civic showing love all the way from Quebec, Canada. Thanks!

John’s Orange 350z on Weds Kranze LXZ.

Chris and Ryan hard styling to friendship.

The trip to H2Oi for the first time was definitely something you will not forget, and have major withdrawals. I would recommend everyone to take the chance to experience it for themselves, because any pictures or videos you see online just do not live up to the first hand account.

Plunk Plunk Done

Recently we spent some time in downtown Los Angeles to take pictures and video of Neel’s Lexus LS400 before he moves away to start his new life journey in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Neel and his big body beauty.

The simple and clean things on this LS400 go a long way.

Neel has been through a few shoes already, but this time around is on a set of Advan Racing RS wheels.

Sitting pretty on Universal Air Suspension air bags on BC Racing coilovers all around with Airlift V2 digital management.

The big body beauty side profile; gotta love it.

The Airlift V2 digital controller.

Location number two and three coming soon. Look out for another photo set.

AUTOCON LA 2014

It’s crazy to think that the last time I was at Autocon was 3 years ago. Time flies by fast, one day you’re complaining about car shows the next day you’re helping host one. It has really changed my perspective of car shows and now I fully understand the stress and headaches of running a car show. I apologize for what I’ve said back in 2011 about this show. I was young, dumb and a wreckless keyboard warrior. Even though apologies are way too late now, I hope this picture of a sad chocolate Labrador will make up for it.

The morning started like every other car show, early as fuck roll in. The process for check in was pretty quick and we got set up within 20 minutes of checking in.

Hundreds of cars were pouring in through this gate. I hate commenting on about cars because all I can really say is what kind of car it is and what wheels it has. So, I’ll just comment here and there if I really have something interesting to say.. which is never.

I want this diffuser bad.

So many Lambos at the 88 Rotors booth. That whole section was money.

Mismatched wheels? You’re totally going to lose some style points when the judges come around.

Aired up and still a lot of camber. VIP cars from Royal Flush.

Man what I would do for a set of any of these wheels… The things I would do..

Johnne keeping his Infinite wheels clean.

Johnne’s E60.

Infinite Wheel Werks.

These Volk ZE40s are on point.

Ryan Gold’s EVO X now on some Enkei RS05RR and a nice wrap.

Lexus Prius?

Instantly became my favorite MR2 because of the deep dish Work Equips.

Marcus Cooke’s supremely clean G35 now on Air Lift. Height looks the same to me when it was static, but a mm of clearance makes all the difference to the driver.

Car show people are serious. If only they kept their homes as clean as their cars. Am I right ladies?

I believe this is a Mini Cooper truck? This thing rocks.

Mr. OC Food and Drink Specialist, Mr. Armand Pranadi.

Man this 370z is so cool. I only saw it during the roll in and it kinda just disappeared from there.

I don’t know why, but I really dig this photo.

A line up of quality builds.

How many years of being a hooker will get me this car?

This guy is taking all the compact cars/Euro awards this year.

What I love best about swinging by Todd’s xB.

What I love about a group of guys taking photos of models. They’re never in unison when looking at the same camera.

Tianna Gregory…

Toyo Tire girls.

People were very impressed with the JDM Chemicals products. Check them out here..www. jdmchemicals.com

Reppin’

Vinh showing Infinite Werks the Glaco Mirror Water Repellent. This stuff works.

Seeing if they got any good up skirt photos.

Anh said he was planning out his next Disneyland meal.

Super cross faded Chris.

As always more photos in the gallery.

Formula Drift Long Beach 2014 and Offset Kings Show Case

I feel like I’ve been covering Formula Drift Long Beach for a while now. Not much has changed, maybe different cars but the same vibe. Seems like every year I get less and less content because I end up having other priorities on my plate. This year it was the first time I was working with a company that had a booth in the vendor aisle. So my deepest apologies if there isn’t that many photos. Just kidding, I don’t really care what you think. Enjoy the photos though.

The trance style lives on through Angelo’s Z.

The Barney mobile.

Thao coming out hard with the new Cosmic Racing wheels.

The talk of the show. Static FRS with superb fitment from Street Faction.

This car is so hot we needed to put a water bottle in front of the car to cool it down.

Now for some bad quality photos of some drifting..

Back to the vendor lifestyle…

Me and Vinh doing work at the JDM Chemicals booth.

Todd’s Minty XB. His first time at Formula Drift Long Beach. I’m glad I was there to share this special moment with him.

Mike’s crazy GS300 front bumper from Thailand I think.

BMW of the year.

The show area was packed full of fan boys.

Styling on you fools.

Very clean Audi on 3SDM wheels.

RWD DAILOW.

NSX from last night.

The amazing Boogs.

Baller ass wheels..

Back to more crappy drifting photos…

Vendor village.

A cop posing for this guy’s Subaru. We should stop hiring models and just bring out the whole PD. They seem to get more media attention haha.

Started with Angelo’s Z and ending it with his Z. Because I can.

Wagon Life

Young is no stranger to the Lexus brand. He has been through various models through the years, and it is no surprise he is also a Lexus technician.

Young chose to be apart of the wagon life as he used to have a regular is300, but always wanted the rare Sportcross model aka Altezza Gita. He really just wanted to get something he could slide around in.

The rare TRD front bumper really hits the spot.

As we took the car through the turns of this dead area, we decide it be a cool spot to shoot for a bit.

Besides all the suspension components and modifications, the Work Varianza Schwert SC2 wheels look mighty fine.

I am in love with everything Young has done to this IS300 Sportcross so far.

Being the wheel whore Young is known to be. He is already on a different set of Work Wheels. Work XT-7s.

Enjoying the rear as the California sun sets off into the distance.

Check out the video I made for FatlaceTV.

Video Timeline 2012

I recently decided to compile all my footage from 2012 into a timeline video. While I was doing this, I thought it was cool that I took the time and effort to create a video nearly every month of the year. Great way to learn from my mistakes and improve; at least I hope I am improving. In the end, I do this for fun as an additional hobby to my obsession with cars. I hope you guys enjoy a look into my 2012.
