Just Hold On We’re Going Home

Just as the title says, just hold on we’re going home. We were on our way back from Las Vegas, Nevada; where we had our annual anniversary meet. Going down the 15 North back to Southern California we ended up at the abandoned water park to take some quick pictures before traffic builds up too much.

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.

Back to more crappy drifting photos…

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.

Cruising With The Meat

A couple of weeks ago; our friends from Lowballers Japan paid California a visit. It was great to show them around and give them a taste of our daily Hoodrat American shenanigans. The night before they were to fly back home to the land of the rising sun we did our best to organize a meet to end their trip to California with an awesome memory. Blasted on mediums of social media the meet had an awesome turnout. Cars from all over showed up and the parking lots went bonkers. What started as a meet turn into a cruise. Explanation to follow…

BIPPU

The planned location was at the Best Buy parking lot at the Tustin Marketplace on the border of Irvine and Tustin. Although it was “scheduled” to start at 9PM, I showed up to the parking lot at 8:30 to find rows of cars already lined up and people already mingling. Cars continued to fill the lot and the parking lot got filled quick. Around 9:15 Tustin PD showed up and kicked us out. I guess there was just too many awesome cars for them to handle. Word spread quick that the next spot to meet was the Petsmart parking lot at The District down the street.

I’m not a fan of the trending crazy-sporty-VIP style, but i love the attention to detail that people put into these builds

Every time I see this car, I lose my mind. It’s static, it gets driven, it’s awesome

Word had traveled quick as everyone was forced to leave the Tustin Marketplace. The next spot was the Petsmart parking lot at The District. Like a scene from The Fast and The Furious almost everyone rolled up and bombed down Jamboree. Oil pans scraped and cars screamed at wide open throttle to the next spot. Once everyone had reconvened at the second location, people continued to hang out but eventually Tustin PD showed up once again and escorted us all out. On to spot number 3.

Every time Nick rolls up to scene, he’s bumping trance.

So much beauty

It’s a rare sighting seeing Angelo with his silver other-half rather than his Korean one

One day; I will have one of my own

Mugen faced RSXs aren’t as common as they should be. Who doesn’t like an awesome happy looking car?

People everywhere!

NVUS came out with some cool cars

It wouldn’t be a car meet without someone showing off their steering wheel

You don’t see those colors on those chassis’ too often

A Porsche that gets the girl, a comfy Lexus that keeps the girl, a van to take the kids around if the girl gets pregnant.

IS-F: “Mine has over 400hp”. IS350: “Mine has over 12k spring rates”.

Time for spot number 3…

Spot number 3 was the structure of the Diamond Jamboree Plaza which was further down the street out of Tustin PD’s jurisdiction.

Ready to disturb the peace

Wait…. why??

Two different styles, one common purpose. DRIFT.

BBS RS’ are played out you say? not when they’re built like Jimmy’s.

IIRC, this thing had an FMIC 😉

Meet J-Ho. She’s awesome for those lonely nights

Parking structure filled quick!

RB26DETTs were found in both of these

Hello Boso

To those who came out; thanks for showing the Lowballers Japan guys some cool cars and how committed people are in Socal. I’m sure they appreciated the magnitude of the meet and will be looking forward to the next one when they pay Socal another visit.

Widebody Snow Monsters

It was a special day here at Illest OC. Pandora One finally arrived and will be displayed at the shop.

Pandora One.

Now fitted with a double decker wing and 500hp.

Your home for next couple of months.

Kevin fitting some wheels on his car.

Vu’s new ride. Big plans for this car.

Vu and Nimo, never been so Royal Origin today.

That rear tuck doe.

Kevin’s s2000 in it’s entirety.

Decided to go to Snow Monster for some bomb ice cream on belgian waffles and on the way I got some pretty cool rolling shots of Shavi’s car.

The mother fucking prince.

Snow Monster is where I learned how to play my favorite game card game of all time. Monopoly Deals.

Will doing a ricer drive by while flicking us off. Very impressive he was able to multi task.

Nimo about to go HAM(hard as a mother fucker).

All Nimo.

Jimmy looking very jealous of Nimo’s diabetes.

Rica so focused on winning in Monopoly.

Shavi gave up and started to play connect four by himself.

Vuzoku.

Neems.

Love bokeh.

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.

Boba and Miatas

When I first purchased my Miata, I had very little knowledge of the car. Instead of being an anti-social punk by trying to learn at home on the computer, I always made an effort to go out to roadster meets. In most circumstances I am a firm believer that you can learn a lot more sustainable information about your car by going to gatherings with other enthusiasts instead of reading words on the internet. Not only are meets a great place to gather information, it’s also a great place to socialize with people who obviously share a common interest.

Eventually I became more acquainted with my car and also the community of Roadster drivers. Surprisingly the Orange County area didn’t have any local Roadster meets so a couple of friends and I pitched the idea of having a meet held every other Tuesday at Diamond Jamboree in Irvine.

To give it a little personality the meet was christened with the name Boba & Miatas. The itinerary for every meet would typically be: show up, get boba, and hang out in the parking lot talking about life and Miata’s. Surprisingly the meet has become more than just Roadsters though, as the Imports@UCI guys on occasion collaborate with us and bring out their cool rides as well. It’s always refreshing to have them come out and hang out as they are very awesome guys that aren’t afraid to meet and hang out with new people.

To keep the meet fun, we try to have a unique theme for each gathering. This past Tuesday we decided to have the Boba & Miatas Photoshoot Edition. Imports@UCI came out to mingle and the FR-S crowd also had a meet at Diamond Jamboree as well.

As always, I showed up fashionably late. I came straight from school and didn’t bring a camera. Towards the end of the meet I started messing around with Lerry’s camera to snap a few pictures but most people had already left. Patrick Vidal and Daniel Wood were also kind enough to take pictures for us as well! Here are a few cars that stood out to me at the meet.

This car changed my outlook on having 16″ wheels on an NA(first gen) Miata. No overkill camber and uber poke here. Just good looking clean fitment.

This awesome looking thing belongs to a man that the Miata community refers to as JonB. If you own a Miata and don’t know who he is, then you don’t deserve to own one, but I’ll educate you now. He works at Project-G and has two Miatas. Both cars roll on TE37 Super-laps. His favorite soda is Diet Coke.

Boosted from the factory, this Mazdaspeed Miata belongs to Chris. I like to refer to him as the mad-scientist of the Miata community for the following reasons: 1. He teaches Physics at UCI and, 2. His other Miata is composed of a lot of awesome well thought-out modifications that he has developed and produced all by himself!

This red Mazdaspeed Miata belongs to Kevin. It’s a car that looks simple as he has concentrated in making it perform better. No bark, all bite.

This black NA belongs to Jay. Among Orange County Miata people, he is known as Jay 1.0 (I’m Jay 3.0). If you have fake BRIDE seats he’ll be willing to rip you a new asshole. If you have been in the fitment scene for a long time and remember seeing pictures of a black Miata with chrome Work Eurolines, well this is what that car looks like now. LOL.

Lerry occasionally comes out and hangs out with us too. I’ll never get tired of this car. Who the eff fixes up an FX right??

I hope you readers enjoyed the short coverage of the meet. I encourage you all to try to take some time out and try out a few car meets, even if it’s not the super-duper-awesome Boba & Miatas meet. It doesn’t matter what you drive or what you have done to it. Get in your car and cruise out to your local meet. You won’t be disappointed with what you can learn and who you can meet.

Thanks again to those who come and hang out with us every other Tuesday. Hopefully next time we can get some real pictures of all the cars that show up.

Shout-outs:

Imports@UCI for collaborating with us!
Patrick Vidal and Daniel Wood for their awesome pictures!
