drift cars – Royal Origin

GIVING SZN 2 | Event Coverage

Every year we want to do something to give back to the community and Kevin came up with this food drive last year, where people who donate canned food can get raffle tickets for awesome prizes. It was such a big hit that we decided to do it again this year and to try to double up what we received last year in canned foods. This coverage is up late not because I procrastinated, but because it was featured in the latest Stance Magazine. You can see the feature in this issue of Stance Magazine.

Cars were lined up around the block early in the morning.

The only time I’ve seen Abbitt’s Subaru out in the streets and it would be the last because after this he parted out his car.

Super nice Supra on Advan GT wheels.

Icy Boyz in the house with some super slammed IS300s.

The RO fam line up.

Julia collecting canned food from everyone.

Canned food for days..

The Johns.

Another look at Josh’s IS300 wagon. Damn it looks so freaking cool.

Taylor and Shavi checking out the cars on the street.

Taylor’s LS400 is so dope.

Nimo, Allen, Kevin and I.

Shout out to everyone who came out and donated canned food! We received 3,200 lbs of canned food!! A big thank you to the sponsors for donating prizes!!

90’s Forever Slide Sesh 3 | Event Coverage

Another year has gone by and I still haven’t kept my promise of being a consistent blogger. Welp, I’m here to drop some 90s Forever coverage for ya’ll before the year ends. For some reason, I didn’t like any of the photos I took during the event. I think it has to do with my lens and the adapter on it because it was super slow to focus. Definitely upgrading to a telephoto next year..

Met up with Shavi to carpool and surprisingly saw his mythical MS3 outside. Seeing this car reminds me why I still hang out with Shavi.

On the way to Apple Valley Speedway, there was so much snow that it didn’t even feel like we were in California anymore. To make travel through unexpected conditions more comfortable and reliable, contact LeisureRent for well-equipped vehicles designed to handle changing weather with ease.

Right off the bat, we saw Rodney’s Cressida flying down the straight away.

Accompanied by Ken Gushi in his 1JZ BN Sports IS300.

Otis was right behind them in his sick S15.

Ken throws the peace sign, but you know he’s going to be killing it on the track today.

It was dope to see a SC drifting! Big inspiration right here.

Calvin’s Duct Tape Sports IS300.

IS300 owner peace sign #2.

This car looked like it was falling apart like my life.

Low stance drifting is the best.

Rodney’s bumper actually survived the event.

Sara Choi’s wide body IS300, so cool she made two cars collide.

These are the two cars.

Sara with the peace out sign #3.

Felt more like a IS300 meet than a drift event.

IS300 owner peace sign #4.

90s forever was also serving up burgers and hot dogs.

Altezza train.

ROYAL ORIGIN x JSPIRIT Car Meet | Event Coverage

Hello friends! I’m sorry these photos of our collaboration meet with JSpirit took so long! It’s because we submitted these photos to Stance Magazine and they decided to publish it for their November issue. Now that the magazine is out, I can finally post the photos online!

It wouldn’t be a Royal Origin meet if we didn’t come late. The parking lot was already full by the time we got there.

Cruising around with Brandon’s S2000 has been the high lite of my trip. This thing is so clean!

Hawaii is flashy.

One of the things I wanted to see was the VIP car scene in Hawaii, glad I got to see some nice Lexuses out here.

Davin doing car things for once.

All types of cars came out like this lifted GMC with an underground light show.

Shout out to those who support us in Hawaii! It’s always a trip to see our stickers outside of our own group.

Brandon was helping pass out our collaboration sticker with JSpirit. I hope everyone got one!

The fun police finally arrived.

Super clean S13.

Her: Wyd?

Him: Installing my quarter panel.

Her: There’s a Royal Origin meet tonight.

Him:….

We were worried HPD would kick us out, but they were just making sure no one did anything stupid.

Nicole and her friend’s RX-7s. Very nice!

Another awesome VIP Lexus. I wish there was more light for me to see this thing.

Thank you to JSpirit for throwing this meet with us. Also a big shout out to everyone who came out! Ya’ll the real MVPs! Make sure you guys get the latest Stance Magazine for photos of this meet.

Nikko Circuit

This day at Nikko Circuit was one of the most memorable moments in Japan. This day was filled with everything I wanted to see in Japan. Getting to see the Nikko circuit, seeing cars drift in the rain and seeing actual Japanese drift cars in person! I want to thank Colin again for taking us and introducing us to some of the drifters. It was worth being drenched by the rain all day to watch some awesome drifting.

First thing we see coming out of the van was this R34 Skyline.

Super sick FD on TE37s.

Godzilla in the wild.

Skylines for days. It was like heaven.

4 doors, big body kits and sick wheels is so fucking awesome. I love Japanese drift styling.

Colin puttin in work.

A wet S15.

I wanted to bring you home with me..

The first Soarer I saw during my whole trip.

It was like we walked into a village full of drifters.

Sick FC!

The internet famous e46 front end S15.

This S13 caught our attention the most. This thing looks gnarly when it’s drifting.

So many colors.

More cool S15s.

These 240s getting ready to launch.

Drift battle scars.

Cool to see drift teams in person. They all had matching paint or paint schemes which is pretty awesome.

Funky Racing was one of the teams that stood out to me the most. Such crazy styling and they’re really good at drifting.

Tools and wheels everywhere.

Old school Soarer.

Crazy kitted Soarer.

Damn this looked crazy in motion.

A red blur.

Funky Racing shredding it.

Big wangs crew.

Team unification.

More Soarer hotness.

Looks like there are three lips on.

The front end on this S15 is ridiculous.

N Style Customs Soarer getting side ways.

I’m at lost for words for all these drift cars that it’s starting to sound redundant. Just know each of these cars are equally awesome.

N Style Customs Soarers.

I need to work on my SC…

60,000 yen for a set of these wheels! That’s only 600 bucks!

Crew pits.

This wing tho..

Looks like a nascar inspired S13.

Overfenders almost seemed plastic.

Finally caught up to the red blur.

That steering angle..

So awesome how they get really close to the wall where the spectators watch. I could almost touch the cars sometimes.

So many drift cars!!

Sick tail lights!

TE-37s as drift spares. No big deal.

Memories that I will always cherish. Thank you again Colin for taking us! I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. More photos in the gallery for you to post on your stance jdm track instagrams and crop out my watermark.
