    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.

    Japan VIP low style.

    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!!

    Kevin invited me to come over to Greddy for a BBQ. they were celebrating Ken’s birthday and were working on Ken’s IS300 too. You already know I’ll be there for the free food.

    Spotted Sean rolling up to Greddy in his slammed BN Sport IS300.

    Kevin’s EK.

    A lot of manual IS300s at Greddy.

    Out here chilling with Steve, Meliton, John and Takevin.

    Meanwhile… Ken was working on his 1JZ swap.

    Kei Miura and Kenji came back from JCCS and rolled up super JDM style.

    TE37 all the things!

    You already know John’s Corvette.

    Thanks Kevin for inviting me and feeding us! The real MVP.

    Royal Origin Presents GIVING SZN | Event Coverage

    Sorry for the late coverage of our Giving SZN event with Greddy Performance! Sometimes Stance Magazine request photos for events I go to and I can’t release the photos until the magazine releases. Check out this month’s Stance Magazine for the coverage of this event!

    We had Kenji’s family helping us receive the canned foods from generous donors.

    The streets started to fill up early before the event even started.

    Big Steve’s LS400 from Auto Fashion.

    Amir’s time attack M3 was on display in our vendor area.

    This Pandem E30 with the BMW classic livery was looking really nice.

    Sparkle’s Rocket Bunny S13 still in great condition.

    New member of Royal Origin, Sang’s Porsche Cayman on Fiften52 wheels.

    Fresh from winning the GT award at SEMA is the Greddy’s Pandem FC.

      

    Weird to see Kevan in the states, I used to only see him driving me around in Japan in his Chaser.

    Someone donated 345 cans of Vienna sausage. Wow!

    MC Celso Nimo.

    This artist goes to car meets and draws cars for fun, Ashton’s E36 was the lucky car this time.

    Another weird thing to see was Chris’s 350z back from the midwest.

    Check out this tiny little car, peep the guy standing next to it for reference of size.

    Greddy had the Boost Brigade store open and had tons of good deals!

    Check out this E36 with the massive tuck!

    Feels like Japan.

    The CEO of Greddy thanking everyone for coming out to the canned food drive.

    The winner of our ugly Christmas sweater contest won $50 and a tree that Kevin made.

    The prize everyone was going for was this racing suit that was worn by Ken Gushi during the 2018 Formula Drift season. Luckily the person who won also fit the suit!

    We were able to collect 1,907 lbs of canned food for South County Outreach!  A big thank you to all of the vendors who supported this event and to Greddy Performance for hosting the event.

    Also shout out to Kevin for coming to us with this idea and planning everything!  Thank you to everyone who came out and we wish you all the good fortune and success for 2019! See ya’ll at our next event!

  • Wekfest San Jose 2018 | Event Coverage

    Wekfest San Jose 2018 | Event Coverage

    Wekfest San Jose, the super bowl of car shows. The car show people from other states come to show at and even other countries. It’s been a while since the last time we were up here for this show and I was lucky my wife wanted to get out of town and what better way to trick someone to go to a car show than telling them we’re going to San Jose for a mini vacay.

    The quality of car builds is the reason why it’s the super bowl of car shows. Check out this wide body Ferrari from Endless Projects.

    A ton of car enthusiasts both young and old here to touch their favorite cars.

    Kevin miraculously made it with his EK after having some issues the night before roll-in.

    Last minute addition to the Greddy Performance line up is Nimo’s Civic.

    E60 Daddy’s freshly finished metal widebody. Killing the BMW VIP game.

    Old & New kited Porsche on RVL wheels.

    Have you guys seen the meme about the “Okay” sign being a symbol for “white power”? Well Pandem is all about it.

    I will never get over the look of a RWB Porsche.

    Thanks for the support!

    Karuma out here slanging some heat.

    Taylor and Kevin.

    Adry and Nimo.

    Damn hella low.

    Sick R33 even though it’s pink.

    When a crew lines up your dream car like a dealership display. NSXs in all sorts of packages.

    The best finish for any type of wheel. SBC.

    Findingnimo and E60daddy.

    Everyone thought this Type R Civic was Nimo’s car.

    Too be honest, I didn’t even notice this truck was inside the convention center. Holy crap.

    It was nice to come back to Wekfest after the hiatus. It made me miss making the journey up here. Maybe we’ll be back soon with all of our cars.. Check out the roll out footage in our next post!

    Ex36 Gang | Royal Origin Members

    I started the day with a surprise text from Aron aka Qsand aka “you done fucked up A-aron” from Vegas. He said he was in town for work training and wanted to get some lunch. He also said he would treat me out since he knows I’m unemployed. So being me, I picked the most expensive thing that I was craving. A non-all you can eat KBBQ spot in Irvine called Honey Pig.

    The best thing about Honey Pig is the the cooked kimchi and bean sprouts. Look at all of this magical free glory…

    We were by Greddy and I know Kevin basically works 24/7, so we stopped by to see what he was up to.

    Turns out they were getting ready for a E36 video shoot with his Pandem E36 and Marq’s recently finished E36.

    Kevin also just recently picked up a EG to build for race car things. So nostalgic.

    So wide…

    It was hard to get some decent rollers since I was just a behind the scenes camera and I didn’t want to get in Vu’s way since he’s the one making a video.

    Marq’s bagged E36. Marq is moving to New York in a couple of months for work. Good luck with your new life, deadass b!

    Some of my favorite shots from the day. Kevin’s car had some trouble on the way to the next location, so on the way back I got to sneak in some rollers of Marq’s E36 during golden hour.

    We ended up finishing the shoot inside Greddy’s garage.

    Fun fact, both of these cars were owned by Marq at one point. Obviously it wasn’t as cool like it is now..

    Vu putting in work. I can’t wait to see what he has cooking for this video!

    Check out our revamped shop and we added a mystery box with great value!

    Greddy Racing FRS | Car Feature

     I got an opportunity to shoot the Greddy FRS for some of their future promo work. Check it out and good luck to Ken Gushi and the Greddy Team in this year’s Formula Drift season.

    We got permission to shoot at the SEMA garage and use all of their equipment. Kenji and Ben putting tire stickers on for the shoot.

    This livery was designed by one of our own Kevin Sanchez. It looks so good.

     

    Ken ran a marathon the day before and was feeling the pain. Amazing that he endured the soreness for this shoot.

    Kenji telling Ken to man up for this last shot.

    Make sure you check out Greddy for all of your performance needs!

    Boost Brigade, an upcoming brand in the automotive industry, invited us to their spring launch. Boost Brigade is the brain child of Kenji, the president of Greddy Performance. The clothing brand will focus on the love of boosted vehicles. The event started in the evening at the Greddy warehouse and the first person that greeted us was Sara.

    Sara was helping out Boost Brigade with the check-in and had excellent back lighting for this photo.

    Which way is it to the event?

    Boost Brigade had a plethora of boosted cars on display, like the Greddy Ben Sopra GTR on Advan GT wheels. DSC00014DSC09997DSC00008DSC00010 Another heavily modified GTR rolling in from Evasive Motorsports. DSC00021This GTR looks like it would kill it on the track and it should be since Evasive is known for making track monsters.DSC00017DSC00013 Clean R32 on Work CR-kais.    DSC00024

  • The Unveil of Sung Kang’s GReddy Powered FuguZ S30 | Photo Gallery

    The Unveil of Sung Kang’s GReddy Powered FuguZ S30 | Photo Gallery

    That one Friday night on October 30, 2015, we were granted the honors of visiting the GReddy Performance reveal party of Sung Kang’s Datsun FuguZ S30 project. I was wrong for calling it a Z31, ma bad! I learned something new. Lol. Right when the crew got in, it was party time! Not only there were food trucks of fresh dinner and dessert and an open bar, but we got to enjoy it all with old and new friends. Follow us on Snapchat @RoyalOriginBTS to see how we enjoy our meals. Lol. Enough talkin’ now – let’s get to the shitty ass pics…stupid Wetransfer quality.

    It was quite welcoming to see how lit Ken Gushi’s car is up front…

    “Welcome to GReddy, my friends. Let us take you to this beast,” says the Gush himself.

    “Hold up! First, lemme give you guys the ‘just the tip‘ of this bad boy,” says Kenji at GReddy Performance. Just kidding. “Let’s now introduce the owner of the vehicle, Mr. Sung Kang,” announced Kenji as eGarage is at full force!

    There he is!

    We can’t forget about Mike!

    Let’s reveal this puppy!

    BOOM!

    COCAINA!!!

    Let’s hear the ITB’d RB26DE purr away now shall we, Sung?

    Vu doing some HOODRATstuff on our @RoyalOriginBTS Snapchat. Lol.

    And she’s alive!

    “It’s a great honor and experience to capture moments like this,” mentioned Sparkle. “She sounds so beautiful!”

    It is my first time ever to see ITB’s on an RB26DE. Where the fuck was I my whole life?

    Success – congrats Sung and GReddy team!

    DAT-ASS…

    Dem TE’s doe…

    Shitty ass capture of the harness, but those Takatas make it an okay photo. I love Takatas!

    It was lit, FAM!

    In case you are wondering what a stock version looks like, let’s take a look over to the left with the owner explaining how rare this masterpiece is now a days.

    There were some other Nissan/Datsuns on display as well!

    Jofel from Super Street thinks she’s pretty Sarap herself. Looks good from likod, huh Jofel? 😉

    Some BTS of Jofel and colleague puttin’ in work, interviewing the man himself.

    HOODRATstuff with Minh and Vu.

    And for the ladies, WYA?

    Dreamer 77…shop.royal-origin.com for our Fall 2015 snapbacks.

    And shouts to the owner of this C10 out in the parking lot. Pimpen’ aint easy.

    See more of this car as they debut it at the GReddy booth at SEMA 2015. Thank you GReddy Performance and Sung Kang for the hospitality. See you guys in Vegas next week – congrats and good luck on your drive, Sung!
