    Unusual Underground

    Welcome to the GG Underground, a place for Royal Origin and friends to go to when we want to relax after enjoying a day with each other, and just want to shoot some cars to end the night. We met up with Chris Foreman and his friends from Ladera Ranch, and Jomar and Josh from Temecula/Murrieta at our favorite place, Tastea, before heading to our late night spot. Check out my video below and our pictures from that night.

    CRZ surprisingly had enough room in the trunk for two people to play cards in it.

    A Royal Adventure

    Keith Cheng aka Keychain here, and this is my first post ever on Royal Origin. I am usually blogging and taking pictures for It’s JDM Yo, but I am here to share with  you our Las Vegas adventure through Jeff and my eyes.

    A few rolling shots on our way to Las Vegas.

     Ryan Gold’s Civic Si. He drove all the way from Santa Barbara to join this adventure with us.

    The Anniversary

    After a delicious breakfast at BabyStacks Cafe, some of us headed over to Chivas’ place to get some of the cars cleaned up and to relax for a bit before the meet.

    David, Chivas, and Nimo…probably checking Instagram.

  • BabyStacks Cafe

    BabyStacks Cafe

    During our trip in Vegas, the Royal Origin and Lowballers fam wanted to gather up for some breakfast. We planned the night before that we would go BabyStacks Cafe, previously known as BabyCakes. Well actually, we had pretty much made it a plan to go to BabyStacks way before the Vegas trip. This was my first time (Vinh) in Las Vegas with everyone, so I was probably the only one who hasn’t had the opportunity to enjoy their bomb breakfast foods. Everyone always talked about how awesome their red velvet pancakes are. I had some pretty high expectations coming in for breakfast and I wasn’t disappointed one bit. It was amazingly life changing; I will never look at ordinary pancakes the same. A must-have if you’re ever in the area. Haha, sorry for my Yelp Review, now let’s see some photos.

    Everyone starting to show up at BabyStacks.

  • Half Moon Bay

    Half Moon Bay

    After our tourist adventure in San Francisco, we headed to nearby Pacifica, CA to meet up with Elvis Skender, owner of Stance Nation and his SRT8 Dodge Charger. From there, we cruised for a while, searching for a good location to shoot/film his car. We ended up at a sweet spot by the pier at Half Moon Bay, CA. Shooting was pretty difficult because it was so FREAKEN cold and windy! Minh and I occasionally sat in the car so we didn’t freeze. Shavi beasted it out and filmed the entire time, like a boss. Check out the footage below.

    Very lovely spot

  • Night Import Collaboration

    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…)

  • Visiting the Paddock

    Visiting the Paddock

    Our Wekfest weekend began on Thursday night. The roadtrip wasn’t too bad, well for me and Minh it wasn’t. We were basically KTFO the whole time, while “Roadtrip Warrior” Shavi chauffeured us all the way there to NorCal. The following day I hit up Andy @Fatlace, and told us to slide thru the Fatlace Paddock and he gladly showed us around. We got to see all the cool stuff going around the shop/warehouse. We also got to meet a lot of the Fatlace Crew members who were very nice and welcoming. We kicked it there for awhile, took some pictures of the nice shop cars  and they even fed us some awesome BBQ! Thanks to the Fatlace crew for the hospitality!

    Here’s the “Road Trip Warrior” getting ready to bounce

  • A Day in the Bay

    A Day in the Bay

    The day before Wekfest, we decided to venture around San Francisco city. We journeyed into the city looking for some good food. We also decided to act like tourist and take pictures of everything. Our initial plan was to get some Sushirrito (a sushi burrito) , unfortunately they are closed on the weekends. We were “hella” bummed out.

    We ended eating at a random Tri-tip joint, which was pretty good.

  • 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.

  • A Full Day.. Literally..

    A Full Day.. Literally..

    Today was jam packed with stuff to do, Shavi and I had to get some tires dismounted/mounted at 714 tires and then go get some KBBQ with the fam.  The guys at 714 tires really hook it up and they do great work with mounting tires on aftermarket wheels. Rotiform trusts them, so we approve.

    Enough tire labels to wrap the car if he wanted.

    They have tons of tires in stock.
