  • Marc’s E38

    Marc’s E38

    Some people would say the BMW 7-series is the European counterpart to the Japanese Lexus LS. Why is this? Just look it. It is screaming big body VIP.
    Such is the case with Marc’s E38 (750i), who is no stranger to the BMW brand.

    Marc has an E36, E39, and E38 (what you are seeing right now), all of which he loves dearly.

    He was able to transform an unappealing E38 into a visually stunning thing. Who would of thought a E38 could look this good? Not many, that’s for sure.

    Marc’s current shoe of choice for the E38 are Work Brombachers, which are basically VS-XX looking wheels for European cars.

    VIP accessories. Junction Produce Neck Pads and Junction Produce Luxury Curtains.

    Something most people do not know about this car is that it is bagged on Universal Air bags in the front, which allows Marc to air up and not constantly destroy his oil pan, which hangs pretty damn low on these cars. However, the rear is still static, since Universal Air bags have no room to fit back there. Bagged and static all in one car.

  • BabyStacks Cafe

    BabyStacks Cafe

    During our trip in Vegas, the Royal Origin and Lowballers fam wanted to gather up for some breakfast. We planned the night before that we would go BabyStacks Cafe, previously known as BabyCakes. Well actually, we had pretty much made it a plan to go to BabyStacks way before the Vegas trip. This was my first time (Vinh) in Las Vegas with everyone, so I was probably the only one who hasn’t had the opportunity to enjoy their bomb breakfast foods. Everyone always talked about how awesome their red velvet pancakes are. I had some pretty high expectations coming in for breakfast and I wasn’t disappointed one bit. It was amazingly life changing; I will never look at ordinary pancakes the same. A must-have if you’re ever in the area. Haha, sorry for my Yelp Review, now let’s see some photos.

    Everyone starting to show up at BabyStacks.

  • A Full Day.. Literally..

    A Full Day.. Literally..

    Today was jam packed with stuff to do, Shavi and I had to get some tires dismounted/mounted at 714 tires and then go get some KBBQ with the fam.  The guys at 714 tires really hook it up and they do great work with mounting tires on aftermarket wheels. Rotiform trusts them, so we approve.

    Enough tire labels to wrap the car if he wanted.

    They have tons of tires in stock.

  • So You Think You Can Stance?

    So You Think You Can Stance?

    A couple of days ago Tony Lee of Its JDM Yo hosted a competition/car meet to promote his 2 year anniversary car show. When we first heard of “So You Think You Can Stance?” We thought hmm… that sounds pretty cool something different and out of the ordinary.

    So We got to the event early to setup and check it out. It did not take too long for the parking lot to get packed. Lots of flashy cars, and a couple of vendors with their booths up trying to sell/market their merchandise. Just an overall fun event with our various friends again.

    KEYCHAIN!!!!!!

    It is rare to see fully built AE86 coupe these days let alone a clean stock one…

    “Are you so low that it takes an hour to angle up that slightly inclined driveway that even my 90 year old grandfather can wheel chair up by himself? Do you think you have the best technique and style for getting up that fucked up driveway? Then prove it!”

    At the first ever Its JDM Yo – You Think You Can Stance? competition a variety of vehicles came to check it out and accept the challenge.

    Visited 714 Tires in Westminster, California to get tire service and alignment done on Keith Cheng aka Keychain’s 2000 White Honda Accord v6.  This is the best place you can go for well-priced tires, stretch tire services, alignments, and awesome customer services.

    After that we left 714 Tires and headed to ACE Mufflers to get Keychain’s blast pipes installed. Sorry did not get any proper sound clips of it from what was filmed. If you catch him on the streets, it sounds mean.

    Thanks for reading and watching.

    Stay EZ.
