Light Work with Simon’s MR-S | Royal Origin Member
Simon’s MR-S was looking real clean when I was leaving work and I had to snap some photos of it.
TE-37s make everything better.
Follow him on IG @kamina86!

Our Favorites at Wekfest Nagoya 2019 | Event Coverage
Some of our favorites at Wekfest Nagoya 2019..
I’ve been following Seji’s S14 for the longest time ever since Big Country Labs posted his car on their Instagram. This S14 is ridiculous in every way from the wide body to the gigantic Big Country Lab wing and it’s static!
On the other side of the spectrum we have Masaki’s super clean S13. He perfected the clean body look for years now and has keep his car in such pristine condition!
You can’t even tell this sticker is like 6 years old.
Flashy is an understatement for this FD. The gold chrome wrap with the RE-Amemiya kit steals your attention from all the other cars around it.
I rarely see any TL wagons in the states, so seeing this one slammed on wheels caught my attention right away.
Japan just knows how to build 240s. It’s really amazing.
That shift knob is sick, uncomfortable but sick.
Nissan R32 on TE37s with a toy replica. So sick.
This Lotus Espirit is so cool, those formula mesh wheels pair really well with the old school theme. There’s an Espirit for sale near me, I kinda want it now..
No function, all style with this AE-86. Still looks awesome!
My favorites at the show was this line up of FDs with super awesome liviries.
Hiroki’s NSX is so nice from Level One Japan, I believe he won an award too!
Seji’s and this S14 are what kids in America are trying to make their shit boxes into.
Closing it with Yasu’s S2000 it is a subtle execution, but this car so many crazy parts!
My blogging game has been weak, so sorry for the lack of updates! I’ll try to put this as a priority…

Wekfest Prep at Greddy Racing | Daily Life
These days it’s rare that you will catch us preparing for a car show with the balance of adulting and trying to stay alive in this economy, none of us ever have time to get a car ready for a show. Luckily for us we can live vicariously through Kevin’s new Honda Civic EK build. Kevin’s been putting this baby together since the beginning of the year and building his EG from the ground up. Stripped the car completely, got major body work done and swaped almost ever single piece of the car out that was welded to the car itself.
We were able to swing by to catch the Greddy Team fitting his new B16 motor in along with the shiny new toys.
Check and double check to figure out clearance for the intake.
Coming to a Wekfest near you..
The cool thing about swinging by Greddy is we get a glimpse of the show winning cars they build before it gets the Greddy touch. This RX-7 is getting build for Kei Muira of Rocket Bunny for SEMA. I can’t wait to see what they do to it!
Some very nice cars out in the parking lot.
We had OC Tan in the house, looking pretty so Kevin could feel more relaxed when something doesn’t go right with the EK.
Meanwhile at home… some one buy me already!

Familiar Faces | Daily life
We got a familiar face that visited us this week, all the way from North Carolina. Big old Vinh. He was in town for his mom’s birthday and had time to hang with us. We decided to go out to Garden Grove Main Street for some matcha foam tea.
Late night hangs like we use to do.
Laugh at the guy that’s gonna have BMW problems soon..
Rodney’s Cressida has been looking real good with the rear bumper on.
Biggie and smalls.
Underground Kings available on shop.royal-origin.com.
Andy brought out the GS and traded me players in fantasy football. What a great man.
I brought out the IS to flex a bit tonight.
In love with my leaking headlights.

Stance Nation Anaheim | Event Coverage
For the first time ever, Stance Nation had a show in Orange County! You already know we had to come out and support Elvis on this one. We decided to have a booth at the show, our first one this year and it was kind of weird setting up because it’s been so long since we’ve been at a show.
John helping his cousin Phil but a Royal Origin sticker on his clean S2000.
Lots of nice cars came out like this Liberty Walk Ferrari 458.
Some elite looking FRS’s.
This Ferrari is in another class of it’s own or it’s because I’m really biased to red cars.
That camber and wheel fitment is so good on this FRS.
Amazing midnight purple R32 on BBS LMs.
Meaty Flush.
Japanese influence on this E46.
Ardy’s Lexus IS with a Clinch widebody kit.
David’s Audi A4 All Road bagged on RVL wheels.
Andy’s GS350 on Rotory Forged Wheels.
Phil’s Mugen S2000.
You already know about John’s awesome Corvette! John has it looking clean for once.
Mikey trying to sell the Porsche. For a low price of 85k you can get the Porsche in the Ty Dolla Sign music video.
We told Sang he needed a GT wing to park with us and he fulfilled our wishes. Thanks Sang!
PURE VIP with the heat. They had almost every model of car with a VIP inspired build.
Love this S2000 from Evasive Motorsports. Nice and clean with the all time greatest wheel the Volk TE-37.
My favorite LS at the show from PURE VIP with the great metal wide body work and wheel fitment.
Our good friend Taylor’s LS400 on Rotiform ROC.
The want for an NSX is so real right now.
When will wide body be too wide? Look how crazy wide the fender on this Civic is!
A family of foxes could live in this wheel.
The crowd waiting for awards anouncement.
Congrats to all the homies who won awards!
Shout out to Elvis for helping us with our booth and getting us cars in and thanks to Sang and Phil for showing with us! Hope you enjoyed the photos and thanks for visiting!

Dirty Diana | Daily life
Here are some random photos I took these past two weeks. My blogging game has been weak, I’m pretty sure it has to do with this fucking heat. It’s been in the 100s in temperature lately and my body is not meant for this weather. I shouldn’t be complaining since there are disastrous weather situations going on all around the world. The recent flooding in Houston is one of them and if you want to help out and don’t know how or you’re scared it won’t go directly to the cause then you can help by donating to one of these causes…
https://southsideskatepark.com/i-cleaned-out-my-closet-for-houston/
#ICLEANEDOUTMYCLOSET is great because you’re just shipping out old clothes that you probably don’t even wear and giving it to people who actually need it.
I was really distraught when I saw so many photos of animals being abandoned during the floods and one of my friend’s posted a well reputable organization that is rescuing the abandoned animals. You can Text LOVE to 20222 to donate $10 to their Disaster Relief Fund or donate at the above link.
JJ Watt of the Houston Texans created a fundraiser with a goal of $200,000 and just a couple of weeks later it’s now at $20,000,000! Crazy, I’m pretty sure JJ Watt is going to put most of this money into helping the flood victims and not put it into expenses like an American Red Cross.
Our friends over at Wekfest wanted to help the victims of the Houston flooding by making a shirt where all net proceeds will be donated to various charities in Houston.
Prints for Houston is a fundraiser by a bunch of famous IG photographers. You pick a photo you want as a print and they donate the profits to charities in Houston. Pretty awesome!
John got a new hood for his Vette and it made his car look ten times more aggressive.
John’s Corvette is on point.
Saw this brisket sandwich on Food Beast and I had to try it. It ended up being a disappointment.. Looks good but the meat was so bland and there wasn’t enough.
Took Dirty Diana out for a shoot that I’ve always wanted to do on Main St.
I love neon lights and bright signs that’s why I wanted to shoot in front of this Cabaret theater. The conditions were kind of difficult because there were a bunch of cars coming through, so I was getting a lot of these crazy light streaks.
This one turned out okay, but it was kind of dark.
The money shot with just a little bit of Photoshop.
Ever since the SC was wrapped it feels like I need to make it more aggressive. Maybe a vented hood is needed just like John’s Corvette.
Took some shots of our new HOODRATstuff hoodie which you can get here..
Break the mold.
Thanks for reading and prayers for those who are affected by the recent flooding and those who are preparing for the hurricanes on the East Coast.
