    Super Ill | Event Coverage

    Super Street and Illest recently had a collaboration meet in Buena Park with all the hype surrounding the meet we decided to check out the big event. Before rolling into the meet, I decided to meet up with some old friends to caravan together into the meet.

    dsc02798

    It’s been a while since I was apart of a big caravan to go to a car meet. It was very nostalgic.

    First time ever parking side by side with the GTR in all my years working with the RO bros.

    Only the best of the best cars were up at the top floor of the parking structure.

    Still a long line of sick cars rolling into the structure.

    At the peak of the car meet there was barely any room to even move your car around that you could barely move your car to park.

    RWB Meduas. It wouldn’t be a car meet without a RWB Porsche there. Crazy how this would blow people’s minds just a couple of years ago. Now everybody has something wide body.

    Phaze 2 RC and FRS.

    dsc02914

    A ridiculous amount of people showed up. I haven’t been to a car meet that drew this many attendees in a long time.

    The traffic leaving was so overwhelming that it took us 2 hours just to leave the structure.

    At the end of the 2 hour wait, we were greeted by a crowd of enthusiasts to get a quick glimpse of the hundreds of cars that were in the structure.

    Thank you to Super Street and Illest for having us! I can’t wait for the next one.

    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.

  • Beach Burger DBAP

    Beach Burger DBAP

    As some of you know, I started working for Illest Orange County since June and now Big Vinh works there as well.  Mark Arcenal was down here visiting the shop, so we had to show him Big Vinh’s S13.

    082

    Mark was pretty excited to make an Instagram video of Vinh’s car.

    080

    Vinh’s S13 was very bright and shiny today.

    076

    Mark in Instgram mode, check out that stance for steady sliding videos.

    095

    Another Marc came to visit us too. The fucking limo of BMW’s.

    085

    Jay wanted to see Vinh’s tattoo really bad and couldn’t wait for him to take off his shirt.

    009

    Our new Set the Sun bumper sticker. You can get it here.. http://shop.royal-origin.com/product/set-the-sun-box-sticker

    062

    Crazy how a set of wheels can change a car so much. Vinh’s car was pretty cool before with the Varrstoens, but with the XD-9’s it totally changes the way you view this car. I don’t know if it’s the design of the wheel or the color, but Vinh has made me fall in love with his S13.

    067

    After chilling a bit, we decided to roll out to the uselesss meet at Beach Burger.

    002-2

    Edris is always telling us DBAP and come out to the meet. If you don’t know cool internet lingo, DBAP is “don’t be a pussy”.

    006

    John couldn’t find parking… Yeah that’s three parking spots on the left.

    016

    Man these cars are TC… (too cool).

    Illest LA – Honey Cocaine

    There was a casting for a couple of cool cars for a Honey Cocaine shoot at Illest LA. Some of us thought it would be cool to come out and get some coverage of our cars in her video. Since we are good friends with the guys at Illest, it was a no brainer for us to be there.

  • Formula Drift: Slammed Society Long Beach 2013

    Formula Drift: Slammed Society Long Beach 2013

    Here is a little coverage of the Formula Drift Long Beach show. I wasn’t able to get on the track because I got to Formula Drift around 3:00P.M. and it was already ending, so I just did some coverage of the Slammed Society and Vendor area. Please excuse some of the photos because they might be a little distorted and blurry. I was planning to use some of the photos for Hella Flush. Their website needs 1450 width while this site uses 610, so the photos with 1450 that are re-sized automatically to 610 look weird. If you click on the photo to the media size, it looks way better. Before hitting up the show, some of us had brunch at Lucille’s Smokehouse BBQ.
