Cruising With The Meat
A couple of weeks ago; our friends from Lowballers Japan paid California a visit. It was great to show them around and give them a taste of our daily Hoodrat American shenanigans. The night before they were to fly back home to the land of the rising sun we did our best to organize a meet to end their trip to California with an awesome memory. Blasted on mediums of social media the meet had an awesome turnout. Cars from all over showed up and the parking lots went bonkers. What started as a meet turn into a cruise. Explanation to follow…
BIPPUThe planned location was at the Best Buy parking lot at the Tustin Marketplace on the border of Irvine and Tustin. Although it was “scheduled” to start at 9PM, I showed up to the parking lot at 8:30 to find rows of cars already lined up and people already mingling. Cars continued to fill the lot and the parking lot got filled quick. Around 9:15 Tustin PD showed up and kicked us out. I guess there was just too many awesome cars for them to handle. Word spread quick that the next spot to meet was the Petsmart parking lot at The District down the street.
I’m not a fan of the trending crazy-sporty-VIP style, but i love the attention to detail that people put into these builds

Every time I see this car, I lose my mind. It’s static, it gets driven, it’s awesomeWord had traveled quick as everyone was forced to leave the Tustin Marketplace. The next spot was the Petsmart parking lot at The District. Like a scene from The Fast and The Furious almost everyone rolled up and bombed down Jamboree. Oil pans scraped and cars screamed at wide open throttle to the next spot. Once everyone had reconvened at the second location, people continued to hang out but eventually Tustin PD showed up once again and escorted us all out. On to spot number 3.

Time for spot number 3…Spot number 3 was the structure of the Diamond Jamboree Plaza which was further down the street out of Tustin PD’s jurisdiction.

Hello BosoTo those who came out; thanks for showing the Lowballers Japan guys some cool cars and how committed people are in Socal. I’m sure they appreciated the magnitude of the meet and will be looking forward to the next one when they pay Socal another visit.

BOOSHMA V3
Sad to say, BOOSHMA V2 never came into fruition and Derek had decided to part ways with his S13 project. It was just too much work and Derek did not have any means to get around to work and school. Derek was lucky enough that Vinh hooked him up with our old friend Jimmy of Super Autobacs on a pretty clean GS300. This GS300 has alot of history with us, Vinh did his second air setup on this car and I remember drooling over this car every time I went to Super Autobacs. 6 grand later and here we have BOOSHMA V3.
The infamous license plate.

As you can tell this is a late post, you can find a picture of Derek’s car finished in the WFC fest post.

Wagon Life
Young is no stranger to the Lexus brand. He has been through various models through the years, and it is no surprise he is also a Lexus technician.
Young chose to be apart of the wagon life as he used to have a regular is300, but always wanted the rare Sportcross model aka Altezza Gita. He really just wanted to get something he could slide around in.
The rare TRD front bumper really hits the spot.
As we took the car through the turns of this dead area, we decide it be a cool spot to shoot for a bit.
Besides all the suspension components and modifications, the Work Varianza Schwert SC2 wheels look mighty fine.
I am in love with everything Young has done to this IS300 Sportcross so far.
Being the wheel whore Young is known to be. He is already on a different set of Work Wheels. Work XT-7s.

With car shows in full effect, everyone is getting their cars ready with their newest mods. Yogi from Fatlace recently started his Lexus GS430 project and already it has changed quiet a bit.
The never ending projects stay never ending.

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

Sequence Shoot with Heather
Some old friends of mine wanted to do a photo shoot for their clothing line, Sequence. They’re an upcoming brand with a bunch of hustlers in their crew and are also some of the coolest peeps you could ever get to know. They decided they wanted to do a shoot with Heather and since Heather and I have shot together before, it made it real easy for us to do some cool Tumblr 1,000+ reblog photos. We all met up and caravanned to Sunset Ink where the shoot took place.
If you didn’t know, Heather drives a slammed GS300 on VIP Modulars. Daily driven and girl-built.
So damn low.
Rolling tucked like a G.
Robbie following us in his motorcycle. It was a nice day to be riding.
Heather felt like living on the edge and did some risky behavior.
Fuck it, thug wife.
Not even scared that she is two stories up and hanging on a sketchyass balcony…
Did two edits of this photo, not sure which one I like better…Soft and romantic or…
Dark and edgy?

Shout out to Sunset Ink for letting us shoot in their shop!
Lol.
Shots fired.

Damn I’m not low enough for Heather.
Had lots of fun shooting and trying to do Tumblr photos . Maybe next time when I’m better prepared and not freezing my ass off, I will think of cooler photos to do. Thanks Sequence, Sunset Ink, and Heather for this opportunity to shoot. Check them out here.
