  • Formula Drift Car Show Roll In | Long Beach

    Formula Drift Car Show Roll In | Long Beach

    This year felt a bit different at Formula Drift Long Beach, it’s usually the time of excitement to show off our new car builds, but this year we were on the other side of the Firestone bridge. For 2015, we decided to be vendors and only displaying a couple of our cars, but we were still able to catch the roll in for the show portion of Formula Drift. Nothing better than seeing a line of slammed cars roll into a show and it gets even better when the roll in is during golden hour for some crisp photos.

    Formula Drift Irwindale 2014

    Formula Drift Irwindale is the most exciting car show that you’ll ever get to show your car at just because it’s the last event for the Formula Drift season. All of the FD drivers go all out and risk everything to place on the podium at the end of the night. Car crashes and slammed cars what more could you ask for?

    fdirwindale 022-2

    We got there early on Friday to set up some booth stuff and check out the practice session.

    fdirwindale 183

    fdirwindale 014-2

    For some reason during practice the only photos that came out decent were photos of the STR S14. Maybe my camera sensor likes the green livery?

    Formula Drift Long Beach 2014 and Offset Kings Show Case

    I feel like I’ve been covering Formula Drift Long Beach for a while now. Not much has changed, maybe different cars but the same vibe. Seems like every year I get less and less content because I end up having other priorities on my plate. This year it was the first time I was working with a company that had a booth in the vendor aisle.  So my deepest apologies if there isn’t that many photos.  Just kidding, I don’t really care what you think. Enjoy the photos though.

    Formula Drift 2013 | Irwindale

    I hope you enjoyed our last post which was mostly focused on the Slammed Society showcase. I love talking about myself so I’ll be showing you Irwindale through my eyes and what I experienced. The morning of the show was pretty hectic, we had to get enough food for the whole day, drinks, pack up a canopy and a hundred folding chairs into my car. Somehow we were able to fit most of it in my compact IS250. We were suppose to leave Stanton at 9:30 AM, but shit out of luck we ended up leaving at 10:14 AM. I had planned for Heather to drive my car while I did some rolling shots, but she ate a bunch of frosted flakes that morning and couldn’t make it. Somehow I ended up with Thao in my car, but she’s been riding dirty without a licenses for a while so she had to be the photographer. I just set the settings for her and let her fire away.

    This year was a bit more of a hassle as mention in the previous post. Irwindale security was really on our asses about not being able to take passengers even if they had a ticket. People were yelling left and right, tensions were high and all because they didn’t want to let loved ones through the gate even if they paid for a ticket already.

    FDIRWINDALE 048

    After all the commotion settled down, we got the cars set up and the fun began.

     He was just a big roadster fan and wanted a photo with Jay’s Miata.

    FDIRWINDALE 380

    The showcase was jammed pack. What I love about the Slammed Society show it is always full of enthusiasts instead of thirsty ass motherfuckers that are at car shows just for models.

     I was making my way to my car to switch lens and caught this guy talking trash about my exhaust. HAHA.

    I honestly don’t give a fuck about what people say about my car. I do what I want and having a Junction Produce exhaust is what I am most proud of. To prove the authenticity I use the extension that the exhaust comes with at shows.

    FDIRWINDALE 324

     Haters gonna hate, lovers gonna love but I don’t want none of the above. I just want to piss on you.

There are some parts that I don’t agree with on this car, but I can respect the time and effort it took for everything done on this car. At the end of the day it’s not my car, so why do I give a fuck? Do what you want and fuck everyone else.

    FDI 218

  • Slammed Society Irwindale

    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

    FDIRWINDALE 397

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

    FDIRWINDALE 418

    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.

    FDIRWINDALE 393

    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!!

    FDIRWINDALE 062FDIRWINDALE 336

    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.

    FDIRWINDALE 314

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

    FDIRWINDALE 304

    Nick and Neel came out to party that day too!

    FDIRWINDALE 332FDIRWINDALE 328

    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.

    FDIRWINDALE 064

    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.

    FDIRWINDALE 066

    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!

    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.

  • Formula Drift: Slammed Society Long Beach 2013

    Formula Drift: Slammed Society Long Beach 2013

    Here is a little coverage of the Formula Drift Long Beach show. I wasn’t able to get on the track because I got to Formula Drift around 3:00P.M. and it was already ending, so I just did some coverage of the Slammed Society and Vendor area. Please excuse some of the photos because they might be a little distorted and blurry. I was planning to use some of the photos for Hella Flush. Their website needs 1450 width while this site uses 610, so the photos with 1450 that are re-sized automatically to 610 look weird. If you click on the photo to the media size, it looks way better. Before hitting up the show, some of us had brunch at Lucille’s Smokehouse BBQ.

    On Saturday, October 13th, a majority of the Royal Origin guys including myself attended the 2012 Formula Drift: Title Fight event at the Irwindale Speedway. This was the last FormulaD event of the year and a Formula Drift Champion would be crowned by the end of the day. Along with the main drifting event, Fatlace hosted the Slammed Society Showcase.
