    It’s JDM YO! Third Year Anniversary

    A couple of weeks ago, it’s jdm yo celebrated its third anniversary. In car blogging fashion, they celebrated by throwing a little meet. Of course, being supporters of it’s jdm yo from the beginning and having one of our members Keith apart of it, we had to be there. Tony was kind enough to let us set up a booth that day and even gave us some spots to park our cars.

    Colby, rolling up in his bicycle.

    008-2

    Chivas made it out just for this show!

    028-2

    it’s jdm yo showed everyone where the meet was by displaying Michael Mao’s NSX on a tow truck.

    026-2

    It was later posted on Craigslist for sale. Trolls got jokes these days.

    030-2

    Really diggin’ this beemer…the matte gray and Rotiforms look really good.

    042

    043

    Ridiculous amount of camber in the rear of this LS400. Would be cool if the front matched the rear.

    044

    Shiny red Supra.

    045

    The Bat Mobile doesn’t look that safe with carbon fiber parts. How is he going to drive through walls without breaking the car? Get it together, Bruce!

    024-2

    Bagged EVO, scraping the driveway as he leaves.

    047

    Another bagged car, a, NSX on Airrex. Don’t see these too often.

    048

    Lotus flower bomb.

    050

    So envious of that grille.

    057

    I see this van everywhere.

    055

    Damn, daily driven NSX? Must be nice or these cars are getting too old and no one gives a fuck anymore.

    058

    Chis Wayoki lives!

    062

    Awesome S14, been seeing this car more often and it still breaks my neck.

    063

    Royal Flush late to the party.

    064

    066

    First time seeing Jeff’s car on his new TMB’s. Looks pretty damn good to me.

    068

    Another good-looking RSX. Jerald’s bagged RSX on Work Meisters.

    069

    Chain reaction…another car on Work Meisters that you should be familiar with.

    072

    Afterwards, we decided to cruise over to Confetti for some bomb dessert.

    078

    Made it in one piece.

    076

    Jesus, his car is ridiculous. Bagged and doesn’t ride much higher than this.

    079

    Yummy. I got a snickers and let’s say, it tastes exactly like a snickers bar.

    081

    Some colorful desserts.

  • Hot Import Nights 2013

    Hot Import Nights 2013

    It’s been a long time since I went to a Hot Import Night’s show or any show for that matter. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I was heading there. I just knew that the people who used to run the show aren’t a part of it anymore and there are some new cats taking over. The show was a lot smaller than expected, being that it was in the parking lot of the Fontana Speedway. For a moment, I thought that the parking lot was really packed because of this show, but it turned out that Hot Import Nights was on the same day as a Nascar event. Anyways, along my journey through the parking lot I spotted some cool cars.

    IMG_7966

    Nascar fans are hardcore.

    IMG_8422

    TL on some 5 spoke wheels.

    IMG_8421

    This EVO looks show worthy.

    IMG_8420

    People were saying that this might be Noel’s old Corolla.

    IMG_8419

    CRZ on TE-37s.

    This was the first thing you would have seen, walking into HIN. A Mastretta, never heard of this company until Ryan talked about it’s origin…made in Mexico.

    Black Power Ranger approved 911. This car is immaculate, but I wish the front wheels had a deep lip like the rear.

    They say my exhaust sticks out too much, check out this boso style Cressida.

    IMG_8032

    I would imagine it would be difficult to put a car together to flow with the boso style exhaust, the owner of this Cressida did it very well in my opinion.

    Custom widebody FRS?

    IMG_8107

    They were at a booth selling bikinis? Didn’t know the HIN demographics was into this.

    The girl on the left had a intense sex face everytime she posed.

    IMG_8368

    Go-go dancers, this is what HIN is known for.

    IMG_8294

    The model booth had a swarm of photographers as usual. Makes it quite difficult to get a good shot in.

    IMG_8284

    IMG_8278

    IMG_8184

    Thanks Keith for find me a ticket to go watch some Nascar racing.

    IMG_8219

    Watching Nascar was pretty intense. The roar of the engines freakin hurt my ears so much. Nascar fans went crazy when the cars zoomed by the grandstands.

    IMG_8100

    Went back to the show to do some more coverage. Check out that fitment!

    IMG_8104

  • Wekfest LA 2012 Part 3 (Minh)

    Wekfest LA 2012 Part 3 (Minh)

    Here is the last part of our 3-part coverage of Wekfest. All I can say is that it was another successful show thrown by Weksos Industries. We usually don’t go out to shows and meets because we just see the same cars over and over and over again…not hating on the people that keep on coming back, but it’s just nice to see something different for a change. With that kind of thinking, I realized I had lost my way; I forgot that I didn’t go to car shows and meets just to show the world what I have been doing with my car. I also go to hang out with my friends, meet new people, and make bigger connections. I hope I don’t forget that again in the future. I’m going to just leave you guys with some photos that I shot for all the homies and future friends of Royal Origin that attended Wekfest. Enjoy!

  • Fresh Key Chains

    Fresh Key Chains

    Keith is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. Down to Earth and very easy to talk to. If he doesn’t like you, it must mean there’s seriously something fucking wrong with you. When I heard that he’s never been featured by someone before, it just blew my mind. I’ve seen his car on a couple of sites and thought he’s been featured before, but he told me that he shot those pictures and submitted it. They say nice guys finish last, well Keith you’re about to finish all over everyone’s faces with your new look. Keith recently got his MB battles polished, his kit freshly painted, his custom dual exhaust put together and a big ass ITSJDMYO sticker. He’s been in the game for a long time and is finally getting the recognition he deserves even if it’s on a little site like ours. Enjoy the photos, Keith did not shoot any of these pictures and if he did it would be a lot cleaner.

  • AUTOCON : THE REAL COVERAGE

    AUTOCON : THE REAL COVERAGE

    The couple of days before AUTOCON were super stressful. Most of us were in a frantic hurry to finish our cars for what we expected to be an awesome show. Some of us even worked on our cars the night before the show, while we were having our family Christmas party. I only had 1 hour of sleep total for the 2 days prior to AUTOCON. There were a lot of disappointments for my car even though I had put so much work into it. My wheels weren’t sealed correctly, my body kit didn’t fit, and my motor was only running on 4 cylinders. Despite all that, I still looked forward to AUTOCON because of all the hype. People mentioned how great of a show it was last year, so I expected the same this year. But before I tell you how the show was, I’ll just give you guys some insight on what Royal Origin was doing during the show.

    Our roll in time for the Royal Origin x Canibeat collaboration was at 7:00 AM. Yes, that fucking early. So, we had to gather up the whole crew and meet up beforehand at 6:30AM. We had 31 cars total, including Royal Origin, goodfeeling, Sexy Squad, Lowballers, Boss Company, and Studio. Caravaning to the event was freaking awesome; it was like being in a parade of slammed cars. If that’s how my day was going to start, I knew that the rest of the day would be even better, right? Wrong. When we got there, all we saw was a parking lot that was gated, with a deep incline where most of us scraped our cars while going in. When they said El Toro Air Field I was expecting an airplane hanger or being on an air strip. Nope, it was just a parking lot that smelled like manure, like forreal. Thank the JDM Gods that it didn’t smell like that the whole day; it was either I got used to the smell or it just went away magically. Anyways, I left around 9:00 AM to go to 714 Tires to get my Equips remounted and was hoping it would hold air. Therefore, I missed the staging part of the show. From what I was told, Justin just gave us a corner and said do what ever we want. We were all pretty surprised because we thought that since we were told to come at 7:00 AM sharp, they would have a plan for us that required us to be done setting up early. If we knew that that was the case, we could have just come later and staged ourselves in 15 minutes because all we did was park the way we do at meets. Randomly. It was a waste of our time because all we did was stand/sit/sleep from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM.

    When I got back, the food trucks were starting to park and open up. The gate that the vendors and people who were showing were entering through was still open, which I thought was a convenient way for us to get to the food trucks. Unfortunately, when I tried taking that route to get to the food trucks, it was closed. Because of that, we had to go through the entrance where they were searching people, walk all the way around the gate to get to the food trucks and then come back and get searched. What a hassle. This is a little diagram of how it looked like, in the picture by JDM Life Style. The red spot is where ROYAL ORIGIN was, the pink spot is where the new entrance for spectators was, the blue spot is where the food trucks were and the yellow spot is where there was a convenient pathway, but they closed it. The light blue is where they should’ve had AUTOCON at the air base hanger…

    Now, you must be thinking “Fuck Minh, you’re so fucking lazy and it’s just that you guys were placed so far, so it was inconvenient for you guys.” No ninja, we were technically the closest to the food trucks. Imagine if we were in the corner right next to the yellow spot.  I would have to cut through the entire show just to get to the food trucks.
