Fast Autoworks

The last stop on this all-day car meet was Fast Autoworks, where they had a BBQ full of bomb Asian food. If there’s free food, you’ll know where I’ll be. We took a caravan of 10 cars to Fast Autoworks, so the street was filled with modified cars, just like the one scene in Fast and Furious where they had lunch at Dom’s house and the white guy gave thanks for turbos, etc. Anyways, on to the photos…

Pat’s IS-F. He lives near me but I only see him when I go to farass places.

Alec’s S2000.

Swerve crew’s IS250 on HRE wheels.

Daniel’s STI on some temp wheels.

Fast car line up.

Empty bottle money baby!

Rocket Bunny FRS.

Holy hell. Mikey’s wheel fitment is still impressive even after seeing it so many times.

Gautam and Mikey, playing chicken with Jerald.

Street filled with modified cars.

Marc’s car looks long as hell compared to my IS250.

Keith, getting VIP parking.

Another shot of the Swerve IS250.

Awesome midnight purple S2000 on bronze TE-37’s.

Fast Autoworks is in the business of building fast cars like these two Civics.

Tracked out 8th Gen Civics are so cool.

Mike Kim, from Motormavens, stopped by to kick it. If you spell his name backwards it’s Mike Kim again! Amazing.

Swerve.

MBN lifestyle. Vincent’s new LS430.

It was a fun day hanging out with Dat and cruising with the Fatlace FRS. Thanks Alec and Fast Autowoks for the food and hospitality! There are more photos in the gallery!

Unlimited Auto Craft

The new kick it spot has been at Brandon’s new shop, Unlimited Auto Craft in Huntington Beach. We’ve been doing late night work, installing air, fixing suspension, eating Banh Mi, and getting drunk a lot here. Here are some of the latest projects we’ve been doing inside of Brandon’s shop.

First night kicking it here, we were working on Derek’s air suspension.

Aired all the way up, still lower than most rides.

Booshma in the static days. Pretty much looks the same as he does now, just a lil bit lower. Still riding slammed.

2012 Forumla Drift/Slammed Society: Irwindale

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.

See Ya Later…

The part I hate most about our out-of-state friends visiting us, is saying goodbye. All good things come to an end and even though we will for sure see them in the near future, it’s always sad when they leave. We started out the day with the obligatory all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ at Cham Sut Gol.

Sizzlin’ brisket.

The best part about eating at Cham Sut Gol is the free thrifty ice cream.

Afterwards, we rolled out to meet up with Nimo and the IE guys for a photo shoot in Anaheim Hills.

Love watching the sun kiss…

Ryan’s gangster GTI.

This is the first thing Nimo does when he sees me…

Vuzoku.

Figuring out how to ride this contraption.

Vu’s Miata with his brand new Work Meister CR-01.

Looks perfect on his car.

He looks pretty good in it.

Good times hanging out with the Vegas crew. It’s never a goodbye for us, it’s always a see ya later. We’ll reunite again at Formula D Irwindale!

Summer in Ghetto Valley

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to this corner of California. I used to swing by every other weekend just to sleep over and make shitty fried rice. Well, things change, people grow apart, and memories are just that…memories. So, it was cool to see some of the guys that I haven’t seen because of whatever they have going on in their lives. I forgot how much fun it was when we just hung out and did random shenanigans.

Played Out

The night before the Played Out show, I was hanging out at Big Vinh’s garage watching them get all the goodfeeling cars ready for the show. Spent the night drinking and watching them wax the shit out of their cars to the point where you could play air hockey on their hoods.

Kevin asked if he could use my Work Equips for the show since I wasn’t going to use them for a while.

StanceWorks | Avila Invitational

The boys & I went on a road trip to check out StanceWorks Avila Invitational. We wanted to see cars we usually don’t see and enjoy some scenery. The day started at 4:30A.M. with 5 hour energy drinks and hot cheetos.

Gassing up before the longass 4-hour drive.

I rode along with Derek; he drove this low with a packed car, which actually helped with the stiff ride. It was super bouncy, but I still managed to take a nap.

Thursty Thursday.

Water rolled down our faces, and our worst fears became reality when the rainy clouds appeared. All week long, the summer rays were shining bright as ever, but on the night of our meet, nature decided that it was thirsty for some rain. Hours before the meet, we were still debating whether or not we should have the meet or postpone it because at 9pm, the weather forecast predicted thunderstorms. Like all of our previous meets, we decided last minute that the meet would continue and we didn’t really care who came out because we had to get our Peach Me Sweatea fix. I rolled up early and to my surprise, there were already a gang of cars. I didn’t know there were people as down as us to kick it even during thunderstorms.

Cars were constantly coming through; the Tastea lot was overflowing with rain and cars, so people started parking in the fire lanes and handicap zones.

Early Mornings and Night Risers

I don’t usually wake up at 6:30A.M., but when I do, I like to spend my time at Cars and Coffee in Irvine. I remember when Shavi, Vinh, and I went to Wekfest San Francisco last year and met John from Mayday Garage. He asked us how old we were and we all responded with over 20. He said that we were at the age where we were either going to be heavily ingrained into the car scene and can’t turn back or we were going to put this hobby behind us. The Cars and Coffee meet is full of the people who are in love with cars and are deep within the automotive scene. Cars and Coffee draws people of all ages, races, and backgrounds together. You can see all types of car modifications from track-oriented to hot rods.

The cars at Cars and Coffee are kept extremely clean, like this Porsche 911.
