  • Japan | Rest Stop Parking Lot Meet

    Japan | Rest Stop Parking Lot Meet

      Before our arrival to Japan, I posted on our social media outlets that Royal Origin was going to be in Japan. Abbitt tagged one of his friends, Zee in the post and Zee was kind enough to offer to show us around. We became facebook friends because you know you’re not friends in real life if you’re not friends on facebook. The first day of our arrival, Zee found out that there was going to be a rest stop meet and immediately hit us up to go. If there are cool cars, Royal Origin will be there..

    001

    First time being in a right hand drive car none the less a R33 GTR.

    003

    As soon as we arrived we were smacked with Japan’s crazy styling with this S13 from Team Frees.

    004

    These Chasers are like Camrys to us in the U.S. but it’s super cool to a foreigner like me.

    006

    Some crazy fitment on this Chaser from Team Lowbrain. It’s awesome how they drift at this stance too!

    019

    Right on the rim.

    Beautiful SSR MS1R.

    007

    Shakotan AE86.

    010

    I believe this car is a Lowbrain member too and is getting a matching paint job soon.

    011

    TSX imported from Vegas.

    029

    The TSX was rocking some Volk LE37s.

    015

    S14 rolling up to the meet up spot.

    016

    Some interesting DUB stylish cars.

    017

    The S14 from earlier.

    018

    Some Lowbrain booty.

    021

    Sick interior setup with a katana e-brake and train handle bars as “oh shit handle bars”.

    023

    Sick designs on the hood.

    026

    027

    Randomly saw Teru at the meet. I met him at the Illest OC grand opening and it was a big surprise to see him here.

    028

    Sick ass Verossa just arriving at the meet.

    035

    We need these instead of Camrys in the U.S.

    069

    030

    My favorite thing about the Japanese drift teams is that they all have matching paint color.

    031

    Teru’s Sunny. It was cool to see it in person after watching his video.

    032

    Zee’s R33.

    033

    Interesting compact van, there were a bunch of these through out our travels.

    034

    This is what i wanted to see in Japan the most. S15s all day.

    037

    Some guy drifting in the other parking lot.

    038

    This sight wasn’t too unfamiliar. It felt like home when Royal Origin would get together at Tastea or something.

    040

    Checking out what’s under the hood of Teru’s Sunny.

    060

    Showing off the heart of the car.

    Love this glitter paint job, it was only noticeable up close.

    047

    From a far it looked like one color that a had pearl in it.

    Fitted for some drifting.

    Getting to hear the Verossa and S15 at wide open throttle through this tunnel made my night.

    083

    It’s crazy how much it costs to drive on the freeway here. It’s like 10-15 bucks every stop! These guys have dedication.

    085

    Pit stop at Family Mart. Thanks Zee for taking us to the meet and giving us some tips about traveling in Japan.
