Royal Flush – Royal Origin

Wekfest LA 2014

Wekfest has become one of the best shows in the nation. The Queen Mary is probably the most over used spot in Southern California for a car show with that being said Wekfest has always been able to give a sell out crowd with lines that would reach a mile long. That’s pretty impressive considering how saturated car shows are in southerm California. To me Wekfest LA is like a big party where all the friends that you wanted to be there actually show up and are there on time. We try to go to all of the Wekfest shows when it’s in our vicinity and this time to start off the first event in California, we threw a collaboration pre meet for Wekfest LA. Thank Kenneth for giving us the opportunity to host the Wekfest LA Pre Meet and for having us at the show.

Being a vendor we had to be at the venue at 7 AM. Crazy to see all these people awake and energetic so early in the morning. Some of us only got 2 hours or no sleep.

This Miata is pretty awesome. Crazy back story on these wheels. These are the same wheels that were stolen off of Tina’s Miata. When shit gets stolen from you, don’t expect the cops to get it back for you even if you have proof and a police report. #FTP and #fuckthieves.

Slammed Society Irwindale

So this past weekend Royal Origin decided to come out in full force for the Slammed Society Irwindale show. We rolled up 20 plus cars deep and like usual we all got there kind of late, but everything ended up working out perfectly because Fatlace gave us a little corner on the drag strip to set up all our cars. The only problem I had with roll in was that no one told us we weren’t allowed to have a passenger roll in with us. So all the passengers (girlfriends) were told to wait outside of the gates until 2 P.M. when the gates would open to the public. Luckily Bonnie, Regina, and Carol dressed up like import models that day and we were able to sneak them in through Dsport as import models and Ryo from Lowballers Japan as their photographer! Besides that little problem, SS Irwindale would have to be one of the funnest shows I’ve been to in a while. Vinh, Minh, and I were able to go down to the pits and get right up close and personal with the drift cars, and thanks to Young everyone was turned up to the fullest that day. I can’t wait for Formula D to start next year I’m definitely getting a media pass for every show!

Enough of me talking and onto the cars. This past show brought out the best of the best fitment, from meaty fitment all the way down to stretch tire fitment. It also brought out different build styles from full blown track cars to cars that are literally millimeters off the ground. I wasn’t able to take many pictures of the cars because coincidentally the perfect time to take pictures was also the perfect time for the public to check out the showcase.

Mark’s crazy fitted 350z from LowNslow Crew with those beautiful SSR MS1’s

The bartender of the show, Young Choi rockin that 326 bull dog front camber

Johnny from royalflush, with that bright as a diamond paint job!

Have you ever seen the lowest RX8 in the world? Well now you have!

Royal Flush.

Minh with his newly finished Junction Produce Scaras, pictures do not do this wheel justice!

Ryan came all the way out from Santa Barbara, wearing some volk re30’s on his newly acquired evo.

Jason’s fitment on his IS300 is jaw dropping and boner popping!

The king of cracking oil pans, Jimmy muthafuckin Lieu, He has cracked 6 oil pans with in the span of 6 months. He decided to go full retard for the show and tuck rim all the way around. Sadly he cracked his pan for the 7th time on the way home from the show, but everything worked out okay, he got a tow from our good friend Kevin and slapped on his new pan the following day.

Kevin’s S2000, it was late in the day and there wasn’t enough light to catch his wheels. Sorry Kevin

I believe I’ve seen this civic around citrus college. I love the white on black theme you have going on.

This EG hatch was insane. One of a kind rebarrled regamasters and it was converted to right hand drive!

This Acura CL reminded me of my friend Michael Johnson’s Acura TL, none the less, it was a beautiful piece of machinery.

This accord was on the ground! Kudo’s to you if you are static!!

John Tran’s Integra sitting beautifully on CCW’s Unfortunately the following morning, the car was stolen from Orange Coast College. Can everyone please keep an eye out for this car, it was last seen in Riverside.

Sean’s G35 had people scratching there head’s and wondering how he drives this thing. The fitment on this car is ridiculously insane!

Nick and Neel came out to party that day too!

AWWWWWWFILMS brought out his spec B legacy. Love his white on white combo, keep an eye out for his car when he rocks the rotiform wrw’s.

Vinh aka “big vinh” was afraid he wasn’t going to be able to show because he didn’t have enough time to finish his turbo setup. Luckily with the help of friends he was able to get it running properly the night before.

Kyle brought out his newly finished BN sport S13. It was so hard for me to snap a picture of this car due to people swarming around it! Congratulations on winning the speedhunter award and I can’t wait for the feature to drop.

“JPN SPEC” was what the license plate said on this car. Without a doubt this car definitely fits in with that category. Right hand drive converted with the multicolor race scheme straight out of Japan.

Simple and clean EF civic, just the way I like it!

My good friend JC, your car is looking boss bro! Especially with the finish of your new wheels! Thank you again for letting me buy your front lip at 3 AM in the morning!

Ashton the king of perverts, be ready to take it in the butt when you see this guy! His car sits beautifully on Work Cr Kai ultimate’s

The Yakuza himself, Mark won best VIP that day!

Keychain, with his simple and beautiful IS300.

Jon Tran reppin LowNslow, believe it or not the face’s of his wheels are vinyl wrapped, never in my life have I heard that done before!

Vinh didn’t finish Ariana(The Sti) in time so he used Brandon’s EVO to show.

Super sick TL wagon on Weds Vishnus.

Sick cars as always at the Hoonigan area.

No stranger to us is Ribler’s Audi Avant on Rotiform IND.

A more sportier version of the GS rocking some TE-37 SL.

Sick Camry on my all time favorite wheels! Work Equips.

BooshmaV3 looking good with the new exhaust.

M.I.A. Dailow.

Probably the most wildest GS I have ever laid my eyes on in the U.S. and it drifts!

Illest LA – Honey Cocaine

There was a casting for a couple of cool cars for a Honey Cocaine shoot at Illest LA. Some of us thought it would be cool to come out and get some coverage of our cars in her video. Since we are good friends with the guys at Illest, it was a no brainer for us to be there.

Ill Neon.

Illest Yogi.

Cuddle buddy Mark getting VIP parking.

While waiting for Honey Cocaine to show up, we decided to get something to eat.

Afterwards, we went to go shoot around the area.

From gangster to nerdy.

So crazy.

They decided to go down into the sewers for some cool photos. It was dirty as shit and smelled like it, too.

Cars and Coffee 4/27/13

There’s only one reason to wake up before the sun comes up, and that is for Cars and Coffee Irvine. What’s cool about Cars and Coffee is the consistency of it; every Saturday morning, there is a crowd in this parking lot and cool cars to check you. On top of that, the lighting is awesome in the morning to take photos.

Sick BRZ on some TE37s.

When going to Cars and Coffee, expect a lot of old school cars that you’ve never even heard of.

Or even knew existed.

The owners of these cars keep them immaculate.

and then there are the owners with some ballerass cars.

One of my favorites that morning…looks like a car out of an old mafia movie.

The paint was pristine.

One is not the same…

Going back to the future. All of these cars bring a history of nostalgia.

Expensive headlights.

Would love to hear them all turn on at the same time and race down Jamboree.

I would look like that too, waking up this early.

So cool!

Ribler’s sweet Audi Wagon.

Another wagonist, Old Choi’s IS300.

JDM flavor time.

Just driving a car that’s worth a house down payment, no big deal.

He must be afraid of the dark.

MBN.

I believe I used to have this car in hot wheel form.

The crowd is very mixed, but they all have the same passion for cars.

Nick brought out the SC400, freshly painted.

Hoodratstuff reppin!

Some un-functional cars.

Pristine Datsun.

Gotham city.

Crazy Jay.

Bosses rolling out.

Thanks for reading, see ya next Saturday morning!

UCI Annual Car Show

Another day of car meets and shows, we went to Cars and Coffee at 7 AM and then the UCI car show at 12. I don’t know why, but every year I am at this car show, unintentionally too. It must be the free pizza.

Young’s gangster ass IS300 wagon.

ARK Performance brought out some cool cars out to play.

Pretty decked out Hyundai Veloster.

Man, this EVO is so bad ass from the front bumper to the choice of wheels.

Lerry’s Hippo made it out to the show even though Lerry was out of town.

Interesting front end on this ES300. It won most creative I believe.

Glad to see some Supras at the show. Rarely see these now a days.

Simple, clean and probably fast as fuck.

Very fun.

Love the Type R front end conversion on this generation of Civics.

OEM with a front lip doesn’t look too bad though.

Some of the guys rolling in late because they were at the Auto Con Pre-Meet.

Tucker’s WRX.

Told my girl I would take her out, took her to a car meet.

UCI Imports 2013 Best of Stance Award goes to Jerald!

Ribler’s sick wagon.

These girls were checking out some bagged fitment.

Royal Flush Meet

We had the chance to attend the Royal Flush Meet that is hosted every month at Ray Ray’s Restaurant. I rolled up with Vinh, Angelo, and the broads. We had heard that this meet has only the best VIP cars around the area. We kind of came late, so most of the cars that I expected to be there were already leaving as we walked over to the plaza. The meet still did not disappoint; there were still some good-looking cars such as Ojay’s LS400.

Wekfest LA 2012 Part 3 (Minh)

Here is the last part of our 3-part coverage of Wekfest. All I can say is that it was another successful show thrown by Weksos Industries. We usually don’t go out to shows and meets because we just see the same cars over and over and over again…not hating on the people that keep on coming back, but it’s just nice to see something different for a change. With that kind of thinking, I realized I had lost my way; I forgot that I didn’t go to car shows and meets just to show the world what I have been doing with my car. I also go to hang out with my friends, meet new people, and make bigger connections. I hope I don’t forget that again in the future. I’m going to just leave you guys with some photos that I shot for all the homies and future friends of Royal Origin that attended Wekfest. Enjoy!

Night Import Collaboration

William Lee of Night Import hosted a meet. Shavi, Minh, and I decided to go check it out. We thought that it would have a crazy turn-out, but what we encountered last night was much more than we anticipated. Lines and crowds of people were in the structure that the meet was held at. It was like swimming in a sea of people.

It seriously felt like we were in the Tokyo Drift movie, getting ready to drift in between pillars. The crazy thing was, we got there when the meet was already dying down. Will told us that earlier, cars were coming in from every direction, and that he was so sure that cops were going to end it. Luckily, no cops showed up, and the meet was a success. (more…)

WFC Venice Beach 2012

This past weekend was the Wrong Fitment Crew meet in Santa Monica/Venice Beach. It was a highly anticipated meet since many websites, blogs, and forums were promoting the event. We all planned to meet up bright and early so we could all roll deep together to the meet, but that did not happen. Some of us met in Irvine and others met in Walnut. Fortunately, I live in the Walnut area, so I thought I could wake up 10 minutes before the meet-up time & still make it. Well, that was not the brightest idea. Since I woke up late, everyone else who was caravanning with us ended up being late as well (sorry everybody), and on top of that, the fact that I have an unfunctional car did not help. We had to take two extra freeways because I could not use the normal 10 freeway (sorry again). But, after all the hecticness, we finally arrived in Santa Monica.

We arrived around 10:30 A.M. Once we got there, our caravan was lost. There were so many cars coming from every direction, so we had to let people in between us. We waited about 15 minutes on the main street that led us to the parking lot, but we all ended up waiting for nothing because we soon found out that the parking lot was full, and the police were not letting anyone in. We somehow all managed to meet up again and parked in a parking lot across from the event.

SWAGADEGA NIGHTS VOL.1

A couple of months ago, Ommar hit us up about doing a collaboration meet with his crew Oniwagens and Style Over Comfort. We were kinda hesitant about doing a meet with them because most of the Oniwagens crew are from San Diego and doing a meet with them would probably require us to drive down to San Diego. Good thing the Oniwagens are down as fuck and wanted to do the meet somewhere in the OC. After some talking, Swagadega nights was born and here we are with a successful meet and good times.
