    Just Hold On We’re Going Home

    Just as the title says, just hold on we’re going home. We were on our way back from Las Vegas, Nevada; where we had our annual anniversary meet. Going down the 15 North back to Southern California we ended up at the abandoned water park to take some quick pictures before traffic builds up too much.

    OMW. #throwback

    The last weekend of March, usually involving the 31st, is a weekend I look forward to every year. Besides it being my birthday weekend, it also usually is the weekend when the whole gang takes a trip out to Las Vegas. This year, we decided to do it big and throw a meet at a dealership. With the help of Chivas and Findlay Fiat, we were able to throw a legit meet for all our fans. We met up early in the morning to caravan because we had a huge amount of cars this year rolling with us to Vegas. I was a stickler on time this year because I didn’t want to take the whole day to get there like the previous years.

    Nimo was able to hit 150 mph on the way to Vegas. Vertex aerodynamics and being slammed helped a little.

    IMG_8816

    Spotted this rat rod, also on the way to Las Vegas. That weekend was also the annual Rockabilly weekend with classic cars, rat rods, and hot pin-up girls.

    Tucker, riding aired up to the fucking max. His compressor went out on the way, so he couldn’t air down.

    Driving to Vegas is nothing to Keith now. He’s gone back and forth almost weekly.

    IMG_8588

    Adam, riding dumped even when on bags.

    IMG_8839

    Amazingly, we got to Vegas in only 3 hours with 30+ people and 15 cars. Neel, with his new set of Work Rezaxs.

    The last time Ashton was in Vegas with us, he had an IS300.

  • A Weekend in Sin City

    A Weekend in Sin City

    It was that time of the year again where Royal Origin invades Las Vegas to have our 3rd annual meet and greet in the city of sin. As the years passed, nothing has changed for the most part. We do it to have fun with our friends and family, and love making new friends with each passing year.


    Some of you might know this by now, but I recently went Universal Air bags over BC Racing coilovers with Accuair analog management. Thanks to Bag Riders and Unlimited Auto Craft for helping me get it all together. Because of this, I was constantly working on getting everything fine tuned and safe to make the journey to Las Vegas. In the end, I made it to the meet with only one hour left before the meet ended. Regardless, I was happy to see everyone who made it out.

    The top two pictures you see above is my car aired up at 80 PSI, which is also my drive height. Here I am cruising to Red Rock Canyon, which is in the North-West corner of Las Vegas.

    With Red Rock Canyon as our back drop we have Chivas’ Civic, Ashton’s IS350, Neel’s Accord, Alex’s E36, and my Mazdaspeed 3.

    My car aired out on 18×10 +25 Cosmis Racing MR7, which were powder coated Gloss White.

    Overall I am super satisfied with the Cosmis Racing MR7. The concave is extremely aggressive, and the wheels feel a bit lighter than most cast wheels these days.

    You can see more of my build items over at MazdaFitment.com.

    Gassed up and ready for some Las Vegas night shots with Goco Photography. Look out for more LV weekend coverage.

    Thanks

    White & White

    We were out in Las Vegas, Nevada for the end of the SEMA show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. After we were done with SEMA, we had some time to chill with our friends out there like usual and shoot the cars for a bit. It had been a while since I made a video and got my hands on a new crane, so it was a fun way to learn some new things while filming. Nevertheless, I especially liked this shoot because both these cars were running new setups; be it new wheels or new lip kits. Check out Minh Nguyen’s Lexus IS250 and Keith Cheng’s Honda Accord.

    Royal Origin – White Power from Shavi Wijegunaratne on Vimeo.

    I also had some time to take some pictures, something I rarely do, but have gotten into playing around with my photo skills these days.

    Minh still rocking the Junction Produce Scara wheels, but now with a new lip kit. Looks mighty fine.

    Keith recently got a much needed firmware update on his wheel setup; it’s been outdated since 2010. Now updated to Work VS-KF wheels.

    PEACE BE WITH YOU.
