    Eibach / NWP Reboot Meet | Event Coverage

    Within the Honda community there have been a few recognizable Honda specific groups, with such being NWP aka NWP4Life. NWP started as a close group of local Honda enthusiasts, who hang out at North Wood Pizza (where the name comes from) and grew from there to have a strong Honda specific forum, which is where the internet came together to share tasteful Honda platforms. And so through the years and years of being around they decided to throw a reboot meet at Eibach Springs, which welcomed all makes and models, but of course hella Honda platforms.

    dsc07944Got the chance to tour the Eibach Springs Headquarters in Corona, California; which showed the process of transforming the raw materials into springs, coilovers, sway bars, spacers, and everything in between. Definitely an awesome experience and tour.

    Nemo’s Garage | Grand Opening

    It’s that time of the year in Southern California, where the blistering heat and car meets align. This weekend took us to the Nemo’s Garage grand opening in Ontario, California. And as you will see they are new, but veterans of experience and knowledge in the automotive realm; big with the Honda platforms.

    GMG Racing open house is one of the best local events in Orange County, we get to see a crazy amount of super cars at this event and be in presence of cars that would probably cost two of your lifetimes to afford. The morning of the event I met up with Phat and Ashton for breakfast.

  • Cruising With The Meat

    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…

    348BIPPU

    The 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.

    349I’m not a fan of the trending crazy-sporty-VIP style, but i love the attention to detail that people put into these builds

    354Christ Foreman – Back into hover mode after his drift day

    356Every time I see this car, I lose my mind. It’s static, it gets driven, it’s awesome

    Word 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.

    403IS-F: “Mine has over 400hp”.  IS350: “Mine has over 12k spring rates”.

    406Time 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.

    408Ready to disturb the peace

    409Wait…. why??

    To 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.
