    A Visit to SONIC MS

      While in San Jose, I had the chance to check out the Sonic MS shop with Henry. It’s a very clean shop with a lot of high end cars all over the parking lot. The photos will speak for itself..

  • The Usual

    The Usual

    There’s a quote out there that goes something like “i’d rather work, have money and no social life than to be broke and chillin with the same people, doing the same shit as last year” well I don’t mind doing the same shit last year because my friends are cool as fuck. We decided to have a kick back for Adam’s belated birthday and just to catch up with everyone. Almost seemed like everyone came out even the Choi brothers.

    490

     

    Kentaro always in that fob squat.

    491

     

    Ashton’s 911 is coming along very nicely.

    513

     

    June aka Jin Choi came out with his little bumble bee.

    466

     

    I had to take the opportunity to shoot this thing because you never know when June is going to give it a complete makeover.

    Vinh STI Socal edition arriving late as always.

    526

     

    Probably talking about Instagram hoes.

    528

     

    Last time you’ll see her like this..

    “Girl, I can take a dick way bigger than yours”

    553

    Vape boys.

    555

    558

    “I wonder if Ashton is serious about how much dick he can take”

    563

    Professional Instagrammer.

    564

    Current events circle. This is where we talk about what’s currently trending in our lives, rumors or anything but once you break the circle you can not repeat what was said in the circle. One person broke it and he was never allowed in the circle again and we talk a lot of shit in this circle.

    565

    A lot of shit…

    568

    Young coming through with the daily already lowered with wheels.

    572

    Jay and his Korean Goddess showed up.

    574

    Going to end it with Hayle because after she arrived everything started to get ratchet and I don’t think it would be good for anyone if I took any of those photos..

  • ARK Performance Unveiling/KINOD

    ARK Performance Unveiling/KINOD

      ARK Performance invited us to come out to their Formula Drift car unveiling last week promising us a night of high horse powered cars and free food, I couldn’t say no! A little background on ARK Performance Inc., it was founded 15 years ago, and is now one of the largest leading manufacturing facilities in the Republic of Korea for aftermarket performance products. They are based right now in Chino Hills, CA where they will be participating in a lot of major automotive events in the 2014 season.

    Slammed Society Prep 2013

     I don’t think it’s possible…… For Royal Origin to not be last minute on finishing our cars for any show. We had a couple of people in the group that were finishing their cars up for the Formula Drift Slammed Society showcase. We had Big Vinh who is putting together a turbo kit, Vinhnumber is rebuilding his STI motor after it was blown, Jay and John slapping on a bunch of aero, June who is doing a complete makeover and Chris trying to make some Work Equips with ridiculous negative offsets fit his car. It just seemed like everyone was all over the place while all I was worried about was getting a car detail from Adam.

    098

    Welcome to Boss Company, where you pay us for you to work on your own car.

    095

    Looks like a fucked up puzzle to me..

    092

    More pieces to the puzzle..

    079

    On the other side of Slammed Society prep, Adam had a full week of just detailing the homie’s cars.

  • Slammed Sundays

    Slammed Sundays

    This is the beginning of something great, we collaborated with Illest Orange County on a monthly car meet that we dubbed Slammed Sundays. We might change the name somewhere down the road, so tune in on the development of this meet. It will be held on the second Sunday of every month and we will have food trucks and Illest will be having in store promotions for those who attend.
