  • 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

    Will we survive 12.21.12? Who knows? If we do, then this meet will be a party for all the survivors who made it through 2012. We will be having giveaways for cars that we think are cool, people who look cool, or just because we feel like it. We will also have Facebook freebies for all the homies who keep up to date with the site. Be sure to check back as we will be updating the details for the Facebook give away.

    Low Beachin

    I’ve been missing the Lowballers lately; it’s been a really long minute since we hung out. In our honeymoon phase, we saw each other every week. One week, we would make the trip to Vegas and the other week, they would come to Cali. Nowadays, we rarely get together, but when we do, it’s epic. Gerald and Chivas came down for Nisei and since we were at the Infamous, we didn’t get to hang out that day. The next morning, Gerald hit us up and we did some old school bromancin’.

    Gerald wanted to show us how he get’s down.

  • Wekfest LA 2012 Part 2 (Angelo)

    Wekfest LA 2012 Part 2 (Angelo)

    Wekfest Long Beach was one of the most anticipated car shows that I have been waiting for. One reason was because I was planning to show my car, and another reason was because I  knew it would bring out the best of the best that SoCal has to offer.

    I was hoping to have a lot done on my car for Wekfest, but time was not on my side. I was really busy with school, trying to get ready for finals, and work took up all my time on the weekends, so I ended up not changing anything. I did add one big piece of information, and that is my car is for sale. That was the main reason why I wanted to show my car at Wekfest. I wanted to promote it and let everyone know that it’s for sale. But enough about my car and me, and onto the show. Wekfest was spectacular like always. I felt like it was better organized than last year. We did not have to wait a long time to get our cars into the show, and the parking situation was well-planned and organized. The finest cars came out and displayed what they had. I noticed that the VIP style is very popular this year, and is becoming something very main stream. There were also a lot of nice functional cars on display ranging from Subie track cars  to tracked out Civics. The styles of builds were endless.

    On to the pictures!

    I started off on the asphalt, where all the vendor cars were, and the first thing that caught my eye was this crazy Honda Insight. That is definitely the best-looking hybrid I have ever seen!

  • 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.
