    Greddy Pandem E36 | Wekfest Prep

    Kevin recently collaborated with his parent company Greddy on his latest project BMW E36. The last build was the red Honda S2000 that we posted here often. The E36 will demonstrate the latest Greddy Performance products that are offered in the automotive market with the finalization of the build at SEMA 2016 in November.

    DSC07689Looks good from the front, but the rear is quite questionable. Its here at Greddy HQ for some research and development since Greddy has a good relationship with Lexus.

    Good job to Kevin for working on this build in such a short amount of time. Many late nights went into this, and there are many more nights to come, especially with the next phase of the build being a 2JZ-GTE build. Also, congratulations for getting 2nd place best BMW at Wekfest San Jose 2016.

  • DSPORT Visit

    DSPORT Visit

    I was working on my manual swap for the SC400 when I couldn’t figure out how to set up my clutch pedals. There was so much shit under the dashboard that I made a big electrical mess. To get a better clue on what to do, I hit up the guru of SC300/400, my buddy Vinh Nguyen aka “Cute Vinh.” He was at work so it gave me a reason to visit the DSPORT facility and check out his car.

    My poor girl, wish you had a better owner.

    I arrived at DSPORT and immediately caught them doing cool shit to some fast cars. They’re always working on awesome performance stuff to educate people like me on how to get the best performance out of your car.

    Michael Ferrara’s R33 Skyline on Enkei RPF1’s.

    Spotted Jeren’s Rocket Bunny S14 enjoying a little rain in the back.

    Looking mean with a KA-T to back up that aggressive look.

    Wet.

    What I came to see and came, when I saw it. Vinh’s S300 manual-swapped with a W58 transmission and sporting a 2JZ-GTE VVTI. He’s going to be upgrading to a single turbo with a R154 transmission. Must be freaking nice.

    WFC 056

    One of the coolest SC’s I know. Thanks Vinh for letting me check out the ride and giving me some pointers on my project. Check out dsportmag.com for some cool shit and SAS, “Sexy Asian Saturdays.”

  • Royal Origin Summer

    Royal Origin Summer

    School is out and summer is here, so we got our short shorts, rounded up the homies, and went to the park for a BBQ. David, being as generous as he is, planned the event and bought all the food for us. He grilled some delicious burgers and Korean BBQ for us. We had a good time and there were good vibes. Some of us got friendly rounds of basketball in and even played tag. We haven’t seen each other as often as before because of our busy lives, so it was nice that everyone came out. A meet up with Royal Origin also means a car meet, so the parking lot at the park looked like a full blown car meet.
    Here is Jimmy’s fresh-to-death Civic…

    Charles took out the Q45 for a tan along with Nick’s SC400. Nick’s SC was lowered the next day, so watch out for that! Should look sick.
