  • GIVING SZN 2 | Event Coverage

    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!!

  • Eibach / NWP Reboot Meet | Event Coverage

    Eibach / NWP Reboot Meet | Event Coverage

    Within the Honda community there have been a few recognizable Honda specific groups, with such being NWP aka NWP4Life. NWP started as a close group of local Honda enthusiasts, who hang out at North Wood Pizza (where the name comes from) and grew from there to have a strong Honda specific forum, which is where the internet came together to share tasteful Honda platforms. And so through the years and years of being around they decided to throw a reboot meet at Eibach Springs, which welcomed all makes and models, but of course hella Honda platforms.

    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.

    Just another Wekfest at Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA, however, this time around this is the last one at this location. Nonetheless, they put together Southern California’s finest automotive builds together once again. Here is a video highlight from some clips Nimo capture, and I decided to quick edit together. Enjoy.

    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:
