  • RO in Australia | Evolution Eight

    RO in Australia | Evolution Eight

    Just another day in Sydney, Australia. Jacob with the white Mitsubishi Evolution VIII on RSV Forged RS10D picked me up with his buddy to take some quick pictures, and just hang out.

    DSC00977It sure did feel a bit weird seeing everyone driving on the right hand side, and drive on the opposite side of the road.

    DSC00979

    DSC00981These RSV Forged RS10D made me miss my old TMBs. Gotta love a good looking true directional wheel.

    DSC00985Simple equals clean.

    After hanging out and shooting pictures, a nice Australian pig decided to pull over and cite Jacob’s Evo for basically everything. I have heard the stories and first hand accounts of the Australian automotive regulations, and it really is the worst. You really just gotta pay to play to enjoy being an automotive enthusiast anywhere in the world.

    Hope you enjoyed the photos.

  • EOS Showcase 2015 | Just Another Sinful Show

    EOS Showcase 2015 | Just Another Sinful Show

    I had the opportunity to attend EOS Showcase 2015 for the very first time this year. Just like going to any car show for the first time, you tend to expect the unexpected; however, having a show in Las Vegas is already expected to always be, for a lack of a better word, sinful. Well enough, after attending this non-profit-organization to help raise funds for student supplies in the campuses of South Las Vegas, it still never failed to be as sinful as anyone could expect. It was all located in a grass field at Veteran’s Memorial Park, in Boulder City, but I mean, come on, it is still Las Vegas grounds. It was one of the hottest events I’ve ever been to with 120+ degree heat waves, but when the sun set, the atmosphere became all GOOCHIE, and the guys from Lowballers, Low Motiv, VanKulture, and tons of other crews made sure the hospitality and the turnup remained trill af.

    Tons of cool simple builds like this DC2 Integra. Fully stock with wheels and drop.

    Jimmy the photo bomber always schoolin’ dem little boys on campus along with the rest of the VanKulture

    Where in Cali or any other state do you see a beer pong table set up without security or the 5-0 getting all up in your face? – Only in the city of sin.

    There’s Jimmy the photo bomber!

    This brings me back to the Manila vibes of car modding.

    There were all kinds of light shows going on. That’s a great thing about night shows!

    “$lopps? Where are you? Can you hear me? The bottle is almost done,” hollers Jeremy and Joe!

    Jeremy and his fresh kicks! Fun fact: the Lexus SC430 is ranked Top 3 Most Gay Driven Vehicles. #lovewins


    It was a pleasure meeting Abdul and his clean E39 540i from StanceBMW. Crazy how long you follow someone on IG and then getting to finally meet them in person.

    Meanwhile, at the Lowballers tent, there goes Gino and Vince just being bullies.

    “Aron, you’re next,” seduces Gino. Aron without hesitating responds, “Give it all to me baby! I’m ready! I got this!”


    AYYEEE! Low ‘N Slow Crew up in the heezy!

    Anthony’s R32 Sedan baby! Chivas asked him as he posed next to his car, “How do you visit the drive-thrus by yourself?” Anthony responds, “In reverse, BITCH!” And this is the face Chivas made.

    Team Mansu in the heezy my pimpen’!

    Hi Drew! I didn’t see you there!

    After polishing a couple Hennessy bottles and a few keg-stands from Gino and Vince, Aron’s horny side goes from 0-100 real quick. Tell him to pose for the camera – I dare you.

    Oh yeah, here’s Lance and Tracey, just being cute and normal. Fuckin’ Aye-ron!

    Meawhile, Lance brings all the boys to the yard with his NSX sittin’ on TE37 Super Laps.

    Damn it Jimmy! You got me again! Lol.

    This CD5 was an interesting sight! Pinoy pride pare ko!

    Food trucks were on sight too! I wanted to try a gyro but baby-gurl over there lookin’ at me all suspect. I’ll come back later when I’m not too turnt. Lol. But at the same time, Dre is lookin’ at me like…

    A nice group of friends just doing HOODRATstuff with one another.

    This is Britt. She a HOODRAT. Buh-leeh-dat!

    Chris flexin’ to catch Britt’s attention. He ended up getting arrested instead for possession of illegal weapons on his arms.

    Kyle hates how brutal the sun beats on his skin. But when the sun comes down, then the Kyle comes out at night. Everybody loves when the Kyle comes out at night.

    DJ Koshi stuntin’ around his Kosh-rocket. Come hop on fellas!

    Oh Chivas, you just know how to stare the clothes off of anyone you look at. Stop it! Actually, never mind – I kinda like it.

    My all time favorite car of the show was uncle Ray’s four-door Integra. There’s a lot more behind this car than just the bling-bling you see.

    Friends and family from all over help put in some time and effort into this build. This car has been inspired through not just the owner, but everyone else he put his trust into. When it all comes to fruition, you realize what an amazing image you and your homies brought to life – like this Chivas_Sunkist-inspired valve cover, to note one of many examples.

    When uncle Ray would get home from work, his homies start hacking up the car – to note another example, the custom trimmed and diffused rear-end. It just look gangster AF. Everyone sure loves uncle Ray – I do too!

    Chivas and Aron posing in front of Aron’s laid-out Y50 M35s. The grass seems to be higher than Aron’s car, or the car is lower than the grass? I don’t know anymore. Fuck it, more Hennessy for Aron!

    Congrats to Vince and his crew So Proper for winning Best Crew Representation of the show!

    Joe, in his IS250, is still waiting for $lopps…still waiting…

    Here’s Avelino’s TSX from Lower Klass…

    …and here’s Avelino, Kyle, and Dre. Whatever else happened in Vegas that night will for sure stay in Vegas. So let us just wrap the coverage up here, shall we?

    I just wanna thank the Lowballers fam for always providing us with the hospitality, love, and affection we need. Thank you Jay Lintao from Low Motiv for hosting a great event! Cheers to you bud for hosting yet another successful year of EOS Showcase for 2015. ‘Til next year!

  • Southern Worthersee Part Four | Throw Back

    Southern Worthersee Part Four | Throw Back

    Throwing it back to one of the most memorable events/trips to enjoy different automotive culture than what I am used to in Southern California. Also, took me awhile to edit through the pictures as I rarely do take pictures, however, I recently picked up a Sony A7II with the kit lens, and it has motivated me to shoot more pictures as well as video of course.

    DAY ONE: We arrived in Helen, Georgia very early in the morning, and already got greeted by familiar faces, and a lot of different quality ones.

    A lost SoCal tribesmen came to greet us as well.

    Through my network over at Mazda Fitment, I recognized Nate’s Miata parked in a random parking lot. Definitely as lovely in person as on the internet.

    The new finish on the OZ Turbos was a nice touch to the new vinyl wrap theme.

    On this trip, I told Ryo he had to come out to an East Coast event before he went back to Japan. Definitely glad he took my word for it, cause he was blown away. Ryo you will be missed!

    This VW stood out amongst the rest. Liked it a lot.

    Alex Goldstein’s E92 M3 On BBS RS2 wheels. Got the pleasure of shooting this car, which you can see later on in this post.

    Another Mazda that I recognize through my network at Mazda Fitment. Also, got to meet the owner, was pretty cool.

    Absolute love the direction Chris has had with this car of recent. Always well done through nearly all the stages of this car.

    The south has some amazingly smooth roads and awesome twists. Really wanted a proper car to take it on a nice spirited drive here.

    Southern beauty. Found this random pond/lake. Definitely not the nature we are used to in Southern California.

    This E46 M3 had an excellent blend of style with the Weds Kranze LXZs.

    One of a decent number of Miatas at SOWO. This one on AME made Fatlace FZERO1.

    Another euro that blended a different style to the mundane usual stuff you would see on a euro.

    This is a husband and wife pair right here. Both into some rad vintage euros; the bug and the bus.

    Something I am more used to seeing back home.

    Loved the fender to lip of the wheel fitment. On point fife.

    DAY TWO: We stayed at Chris’s cabin about a few miles out of Helen, and came back the next day to continue exploring Helen.

    Behind that door was bad things.

    I have seen a few pictures of this in the past floating around from Southern Fresh. Finally get to meet Justin and his LS400.

    Kyle’s 326power’d out GS300. Got to shoot both of these later on as well.

    The Risky Devil yacht. AJ bought this down from Arizona to Chicago to Georgia.

    Found an awesome spot to shoot the cars. Here is Alex’s E92 M3.

    Loving the southern back drop. A nice different scenery that we are usually used to in SoCal.

    Horse friends.

    Kyle’s GS300 enjoying that southern air.

    It’s Fun To Do Bad Things.
    www.shop.royal-origin.com

    Love the rear end of this one with all those lines and details. Kyle just needs to insert the tips ;]

    Justin’s LS400. Custom wide body.

    Love the aggressive boss presence this has.

    Those fender cuts. Love it.

    Got to enjoy another East Coast trip with Ryan and his WRX. This time around the car has changed quite a lot since then.

    Always a pleasure to enjoy Ryan’s southern hospitality.

    DAY THREE: On the last day in Helen we were back in town seeing what was left. Still a good number of cars and quality stuff laying around. This Miata was on point with the BBS RFs.

    The iconic Walking Dead location. Atlanta, Georgia.

    Atlanta, Georgia from the sky.

    And back home to SoCal we went. Definitely loved this trip and event. The vibe and feel is different than H2Oi, and is definitely an experience I will continue to try to repeat.

  • H2Oi 2014

    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!
    http://shop.royal-origin.com/


    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.

    Neel’s LS400

    Spent the day in down town LA, we planned to do a photo shoot of Neel’s LS400 before he leaves us to Las Vegas for work. We had a pretty good team with Vu, Shavi and Nimo doing video work and Rocky and I shooting photos.  The main photographer was Rocky, I was just hanging out and trying to do some behind the scenes photos.

    Our next location was another famous location, but I guess there was a movie being filmed, so it was closed off with police surrounding the area. We decided to just find an empty parking structure to shoot.

    680

    The lighting was a bit hard to work with, but we had a bunch of fun light painting which none of my photos show. I was the one holding a piece of cardboard to cover the lights when they were light painting.

    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.
