Nemo’s Garage | Grand Opening
It’s that time of the year in Southern California, where the blistering heat and car meets align. This weekend took us to the Nemo’s Garage grand opening in Ontario, California. And as you will see they are new, but veterans of experience and knowledge in the automotive realm; big with the Honda platforms.
Thanks.

Extreme Dimensions Car Show 2016| Event Coverage
The annual Extreme Dimensions Car Show was a couple of weeks ago and the turn out was amazing. There were cars from all walks of life and they had some crazy events that were going on during the show, but we’ll get into that in a bit.
These two yellow FRS caught my eye from a far. 
Bugeye on Work XD9.
So much gloss in the paint.
Glad to be seeing more modified R32s in SoCal.
DNA Motoring’s S2000 for show.
A front end collision would suck for this Subaru. 
Wide body Mustang, so it could hit more people in crowds.
That color tho.
The Subie presence was strong at this meet.
Wow, 2nd generation IS with a 3rd gen front bumper molded on.
John’s R35 on Advan GT.
Evil looking Mustang.
Damn!! Satin black with gold accents on this S2000 looks amazing.
Low is an understatement.
From satin black to all the colors of the rainbow. 
Perfect photo opportunity for this skyline syndicate.
They were having a revving contest where the audience choose the winner. The one time revving your car at a meet was cool.
The “Fuck Likes” sticker on this clean GS.
Another 2nd gen IS with a 3rd gen bumper with excellent fitment.
Neck breaker.
Old school Mazda rolling out.
Bagged and boosted S2000.
Best LS right now in Orange County and it’s owned by Tommy from Infinite Werks.
God, I love seeing a immaculate Civic.
After a long day at the show, a musubi from Musubi Monster ended the day.
Try it, it’ll change your life.

GMG Racing Open House | Event Coverage
GMG Racing open house is one of the best local events in Orange County, we get to see a crazy amount of super cars at this event and be in presence of cars that would probably cost two of your lifetimes to afford. The morning of the event I met up with Phat and Ashton for breakfast.
One does not belong…
The Porsche/Mazda bros. 
Ashton’s 911 is looking great going back to the grey paint and adding the PNA Design wing. 
We were waiting for the Phaze 2 caravan to come through and they brought the heat.
The roll-in was way tight just like Darren’s Porsche. 
Clean styling with this Porsche on BBS RS.
Brendan’s widebody Supra was out and about at the event. 
These guys were talking about if this car was in the Fast and Furious or not.
Roll out like a boss.
Mikey’s Amuse 370z on Volk TE-37 SL.
Mikey’s shiny 997 on Rotiforms.
Darren’s GT3 got some prime parking at the event. 
Mikey with the surprise back rub. 
Bugatti to greet you before entering the warehouse. 
The car even had it’s own security to make sure no one leans on it.
GMG Racing Audi R8 for sale. It would be a nice addition to my garage, but maybe in another life time. 
The R8 is pretty clean for a race car. 
Super cars on super cars. 
Every automotive photographer’s dreams were in this building.
Those carbon fiber wheels tho. 
This F12 is so beautiful. 
Medusa RWB.
Bugatti roll out.
Ending it with me spotting Devyn’s Itasha style Civic.

Jimmy’s Civic & Erik’s EP3 | Video
It has been a long while since I have actually did video, and doing this video was like learning it again. Here we have Jimmy’s Honda Civic and Erik’s Honda EP3, which have nearly identical visual appearances and performance modifications. Both these cars are static (on coilovers), boosted, and on Volk Racing TE37s.
Take a look at this highlight of both fine tuned cars:
Thanks.

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.
It sure did feel a bit weird seeing everyone driving on the right hand side, and drive on the opposite side of the road.
These RSV Forged RS10D made me miss my old TMBs. Gotta love a good looking true directional wheel.
Simple equals clean.
BCHPLS, rim to fender fitment.
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.

RO in Australia | Cafe Roman & Photo Hang
Its the next day or so in Sydney, Australia, and the Built To Order guys started out our day by hitting up Cafe Roman for some bombass breakfast/brunch.
The menu.
Art x Food.
Hass x Carl.
The Mediterranean breakfast. Cumin spiced fried eggs, sujuk salsa, labneh, halloumi, eggplant, zaartar bread, olives, and with Lebanese bread.
Eggs Benedict. English muffin, wilted spinach, smoked salmon, poached eggs, and with hollandaise sauce.
The Roman breakfast. Eggs, sausage, beef rashes, sauteed mushrooms, roasted tomato, hash brown, and sourdough toast.
Posted up in front of Cafe Roman.
Tarik x Nitto x Carl.
After Cafe Roman, we spent the rest of the day light at the Sydney docks. Just hanging out and shooting some nice cars.
Jacob’s Evo was so photogenic in these settings.
Fitment shot on RSV Forged RS10D wheels.
I love me some directional wheels.
George x Nitto.
Matthew’s Toyota 86 on RSV Forged Retro Centre R1.
Group shot.
Diversity. What a spectrum of cars right there.
Jame’s S14 on AG wheels. He didn’t have much fun getting home later as you will see.
Astra Limousines & Wedding Cars Ferrari California T rolling on RSV Forged RS5Y wheels.
The hard top convertible adds a different look to it.
Mercedes-Benz CLS on RSV Forged RS10.
That’s about a 6.5 inch lip right there.
And around 5 inchs of lip in the front.
So due to minor technical difficulties from just moving to the spot you saw above, it had to be towed back home.
Headed back to the suburbs before the sunset, and went back into the city later that night for some night life. More posts on Australia coming.

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.
