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, leading the way to Vegas.

Random guy rolling with us to Vegas.

Randy Goco, getting some rolling shots.

This car goes everywhere. DGAF life.

Check out the racing stripes on the front part of the side skirt.

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

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.

Ashton, the newest member of the crew. He was jumped in before we left to Vegas.

Double rolling shot, what does it mean?

Jeff always looks like he’s napping when he drives long distances.

Jerald also made the trek out to Vegas with us.

Gautam’s loudass M5, surprisingly, didn’t get us pulled over.

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.

Adam, riding dumped even when on bags.

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.

John, running on Filipino time, finally caught up with us.

Ryan’s murdered out GTI. Looks real cool.

First time seeing Rocky’s bagged look. He’s working on getting the front’s lower and then he’ll be satisfied.

Famous Accords.

White is right.

Once you go black, you come back in a wheelchair.

Yoshi’s race car.

BMW x Subaru sandwich.

Where the fuck is WEI?

IS brothers.

Ted Olsen met us up at our hotel to caravan to Gerald’s house.

Causing traffic, breaking necks, and making hella wrecks.

It’s been a long time since I saw the rootbeerdc2. Quenched my thirst for sure.

Jerald posted.

AJ photography in the house.

Jon, cleaning his brother’s dirtyass rims.

Block party.

The detail master.

Rootbeer VIP looking swell.

Keyser’s clean MR2 on Work XD9’s.

Went with Chivas early to Findlay Fiat to get some last minute preparations in.

Sunkist.

The sun is kissing the engine bay.

Nimo did a suicide trip and was leaving for home right after the meet.

The Abarth, a pretty quick car. One of the salesmen did a burnout in it when he moved it.

This is all you’re getting for now. Check back for the meet coverage!

Fast Autoworks

The last stop on this all-day car meet was Fast Autoworks, where they had a BBQ full of bomb Asian food. If there’s free food, you’ll know where I’ll be. We took a caravan of 10 cars to Fast Autoworks, so the street was filled with modified cars, just like the one scene in Fast and Furious where they had lunch at Dom’s house and the white guy gave thanks for turbos, etc. Anyways, on to the photos…

Pat’s IS-F. He lives near me but I only see him when I go to farass places.

Alec’s S2000.

Swerve crew’s IS250 on HRE wheels.

Daniel’s STI on some temp wheels.

Fast car line up.

Empty bottle money baby!

Rocket Bunny FRS.

Holy hell. Mikey’s wheel fitment is still impressive even after seeing it so many times.

Gautam and Mikey, playing chicken with Jerald.

Street filled with modified cars.

Marc’s car looks long as hell compared to my IS250.

Keith, getting VIP parking.

Another shot of the Swerve IS250.

Awesome midnight purple S2000 on bronze TE-37’s.

Fast Autoworks is in the business of building fast cars like these two Civics.

Tracked out 8th Gen Civics are so cool.

Mike Kim, from Motormavens, stopped by to kick it. If you spell his name backwards it’s Mike Kim again! Amazing.

Swerve.

MBN lifestyle. Vincent’s new LS430.

It was a fun day hanging out with Dat and cruising with the Fatlace FRS. Thanks Alec and Fast Autowoks for the food and hospitality! There are more photos in the gallery!

LTMW 2013 Meet

It was one of those days where all I wanted to do was check out cars all day long. I decided the night before that I would go to all the car meets on Saturday which included Cars and Coffee in Irvine, LTMW in El Monte, and Fast Autoworks in Arcadia. I met up with Dat at Cars and Coffee because he planned to drive the Fatlace FRS to all the meets. Since he planned to go to the LTMW meet after, we caravanned to Charles’ house where everyone met up before the LTMW meet.

BMW 3, 5, and 7.

Yoshi, leading the pack.

Gautam and Marc met up at Charles’ house too. Note that all three beemers have mesh wheels. It’s going to be a common theme throughout the post.

All Marc needs is a front lip to set this thing off.

LOL BOTTLE CAPS.

All static here.

Celebrity car, the Fatlace FRS.

Gautam’s M5 on dem purps.

Haven’t seen Armand in a while; he’s still riding hella fucking flush.

I wonder if that Go-Pro is there to check out the reactions of people when he drives by or to see his suspension travel when he drives.

Keith came out to play.

Bagged 5 series on Waffes. Awesome.

Dumped CRZ rolling through.

The more I see these newer Honda Accords modded, the more I want to take Jennifer’s Accord and slam it with my Scaras.

S2K with some meat fitment on Mag Blue Volk TE-37.

Time Attack EVO 8.

Prepare for a bombardment of BMWs of all series on either mesh wheels or TE-37’s.

BMW owners love their TE-37’s and mesh wheels.

Something different, Courtney’s F30 on SSR SP1’s.

5 Spoke goodness.

This guy is everywhere…Sam’s Civic, also on TE-37’s. I guess he can fit in with this crowd.

Yoshi and Sam.

Releasing the monster.

I always see this E36 on tumblr. Glad to be able to see it in person for the first time.

Fatlace FRS, posted.

Another person I haven’t seen in a while is Jose and his Audi A3.

The paint on this VW is so crazy. Brown and greenish color.

Speaking of green, Jose’s Audi A3.

LTMW E90 was displayed in the middle of the lot.

Sick blue CCW’s to fit this wide monstrosity.

Going to end it with this model, who dressed pretty skimpy. She looked pretty out of place, modeling at the Stance Wheels booth. Anyways, thanks LTMW for throwing a fun meet and for the free food! Check out the rest of the photos in the gallery.

The Night is Right

The night is always well spent when you’re doing something that you love. On this night, we were up finishing up the final touches of Abbitt’s Legacy and doing some #hoodratstuff of course.

Test fitting the NUE’s. This only lasted a week.

Abbitt told us fender rollers are for pussies. Real men use their fingers.

All over the shop was Brandon’s engine all laid out for the rebuild. Labeled and everything.

More engine stuff.

Nimo taking off his wing because he didn’t feel like flying tonight.

Abbitt’s roll call.

I just remember us laughing about poppin’ mollies.

Went down the street to get some donuts because we love high calorie edibles.

Pretty colors.

Diabetes.

For an Asian-run donut shop, they make pretty bomb breakfast burritos.

Jimmy semi-impressed.

This photo is only funny for the people who were there.

Japanese Anal Beads

Lowballers Japan and peeps from Fatlace came to visit so we wanted to show them a good time and throw a little meet for them. This meet was only promoted on the morning of and we didn’t even say it was a car meet. We only posted a photo of Yoshi and some anal beads for the event. Surprisingly, there were quite a few cars that came out.

R’s Tuning widebody M3 looks so sick.

Static CRZ, this thing rolls hard.

Ron’s clean E46 on Work Equips.

Boss Company reppin’. Kevin’s bagged GS300.

Special parking for Jimmy.

Vinh’s LS430 now on Varrstoens.

Chris’ 350z with a lil more camber up front.

Kazuki and Masayaki from LB JP.

Ryo reppin’ Stussy and Illest.

Kentaro translating and being useful for once…just kidding! They were telling Kentaro that they welded the suspension together to one of their cars, so there isn’t a shock or a coil over in the suspension. The control arm is just sitting on the frame. Intense!

More Boss Companyness.

The other Kevin from Boss Company/Sequence.

Nimo flying in on Filipino time.

Illest. SF TKO LA.

Getting to know each other, shit got gay real quick.

This green paint was doing it for me. I don’t know why…

Been seeing this FRS everywhere I go.

I don’t mind though, I still always check it out as if it was my first time seeing it.

Zach has too many cars.

Some of the best front fitment at the meet.

Thao smiling because she was actually invited.

Thao dailys the S13 now so the BN Sports is at home and only comes out for special events.

Another car that only comes out to special events is the LRG SOUP.

and the crowd swarms in.

Yoshi, the 2nd translator.

Jay getting cray.

My baby girl…

Adam’s dark side.

Rolling hard, too bad this shit was blurry.

LP JP X RO. It was fun meeting the guys from Japan and hanging with the Fatlace crew. We learned a lot about Japanese culture and their godly ways to get the max camber and max low. Too bad roads here are not as developed compared to Japan’s roads. Good times with like minded people, hope they have a safe trip home and hope to see them soon in their homeland!

Getting Shit Done, Making Girls Come.

We were putting in some work the other night at the Boss Company garage. Late nights spent working on cars and talking shit is what I live for. Four years ago, I was here installing coilovers for the first time on my IS300, and here I am four years later still doing the same shit with the same people. Only now, we know what we’re actually doing (kind of) and not just throwing shit on our cars hoping it will fit.

Spare parts and messy tools seems to be a common theme at every garage I go to.

TE-37’s and Work Equips.

Subframe risers and lots of other goodies for Big Vinh’s 240SX.

Varrstoen’s for spares? My bad…

Organized.

“Yeah, I know where everything is.”

“Just kidding, it’s a mess…”

Sneak peak of the new new.

Got my side skirts fitting where I want them to be. So fucking happy.

Ice cold baby, ice cold.

Low Problems

Being low has its problems. People are always saying, “I wouldn’t be able to lower my car like that because of the roads in my area.” The roads are fucked up everywhere, you just learn to adapt to the conditions and remember where the bad roads are. In Vegas though, it’s another story. The roads there are buttery smooth and steep driveways are nonexistent. The only place you have to worry about is the strip and the hotels’ massive speed bumps, probably there for those drunk drivers who like to speed. This is a lowered car friendly city and that’s why we love to visit so often.

One of the lowest cars in Vegas would be Miguel’s Minty Z. Problems he usually has driving in Vegas would be the abnormally large lane reflectors that Vegas has. His side skirts usually become loose at every lane change.

Here, we spent the night helping him sticker bomb his front lip, which ended up uglier than we thought it would be. The idea was right, the execution just wasn’t there.

We did a little photo shoot with DJ Murdok which I will post later on. Got a cool shot of my IS250 during the shoot.

Back in Cali, we had just gotten back from Vegas and thought it would be cool to shoot Shavi’s car and see it leave the garage for once. Surprisingly, it didn’t take much effort to get out of his driveway. The Garage Vary lip can take a beating and it did because Shavi just went straight out of the driveway like it was nothing.

If I was an ant, I would be very afraid of seeing Shavi’s car on the road.

Demon Camber.

We were very surprised it actually made it down the street to shoot. I’m not even sure how Shavi gets this thing to shows.

Is Angelo angling in or is he angling out? He’s actually trying to leave the driveway. If you can make it up a driveway, you can make it out the same way.

We wanted to get some Earl of Sandwich at Downtown Disney so we went cruising around with the Colonel of Stance.

AngleLOW.

We hit an unexpected speed bump on the way there, not a figuratively speaking speed bump, but literally a speed bump. Jimmy’s car was having some battery problems, so when he was trying to get over the bump, his car got stuck and stalled. We kind of caused traffic…

Good thing Angelo was there with some jumper cables and wood to get over the speed bump. The Disneyland park security ran up to us and said that parking was free and we didn’t have to wait…right…we were waiting to pay for parking 😉

DSPORT Visit

I was working on my manual swap for the SC400 when I couldn’t figure out how to set up my clutch pedals. There was so much shit under the dashboard that I made a big electrical mess. To get a better clue on what to do, I hit up the guru of SC300/400, my buddy Vinh Nguyen aka “Cute Vinh.” He was at work so it gave me a reason to visit the DSPORT facility and check out his car.

My poor girl, wish you had a better owner.

I arrived at DSPORT and immediately caught them doing cool shit to some fast cars. They’re always working on awesome performance stuff to educate people like me on how to get the best performance out of your car.

Michael Ferrara’s R33 Skyline on Enkei RPF1’s.

Spotted Jeren’s Rocket Bunny S14 enjoying a little rain in the back.

Looking mean with a KA-T to back up that aggressive look.

Wet.

What I came to see and came, when I saw it. Vinh’s S300 manual-swapped with a W58 transmission and sporting a 2JZ-GTE VVTI. He’s going to be upgrading to a single turbo with a R154 transmission. Must be freaking nice.

One of the coolest SC’s I know. Thanks Vinh for letting me check out the ride and giving me some pointers on my project. Check out dsportmag.com for some cool shit and SAS, “Sexy Asian Saturdays.”

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.
