  • A Weekend in Sin City

    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

  • Royal Origin Summer

    Royal Origin Summer

    School is out and summer is here, so we got our short shorts, rounded up the homies, and went to the park for a BBQ. David, being as generous as he is, planned the event and bought all the food for us. He grilled some delicious burgers and Korean BBQ for us. We had a good time and there were good vibes. Some of us got friendly rounds of basketball in and even played tag. We haven’t seen each other as often as before because of our busy lives, so it was nice that everyone came out. A meet up with Royal Origin also means a car meet, so the parking lot at the park looked like a full blown car meet.
    Here is Jimmy’s fresh-to-death Civic…

    Charles took out the Q45 for a tan along with Nick’s SC400. Nick’s SC was lowered the next day, so watch out for that! Should look sick.

  • Journey to Vegas

    Journey to Vegas

    For the Low Ballers x Royal Origin 2 Year Anniversary, the Royal Origin gang made a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada to hang out with our lovers, the Lowballers. We basically had three separate caravans going on. Some of us left Thursday evening, some left Friday morning (including myself), and the rest left Friday afternoon. I was pretty bummed out that I wasn’t able to bring my car; I had just gotten it back from the shop after some expensiveass electrical issues. I was trying to get it ready, but there wasn’t enough time to prepare. Oh well, enough of my venting and onto some pictures…

    Instagram noob. Follow him @jimmylieu.

    Just chillen on the side of the freeway.

  • The Night Ends.

    The Night Ends.

    It has been awhile since some of us have seen each other and been able to hangout. So, we decided to go to our old familiar hang out spots to just hang out like the good old days. This familiar place is called “The Lair.” Why? Because this is the place we would always end our night of doing hoodrat stuff together. It is an awesome place to be and the lighting there is quite interesting; always get some memorable shots.

    A quick video filmed and edited by Shavi W. of what the Lair is about. Friends and good times.

    Three perfect examples of the good-side of the Honda community, which we all hear negative things all the times, whether it is the driver or the car itself.
