    Late Evolution | Video

    Two years ago my friend Jordan was trading his Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X for Keith’s Lexus IS300, and he wanted to capture his long time love before giving it away. It took me awhile to finish the video because of other side projects and some laziness. So, fast forward to the present day, where I have finally finished putting the video together, Jordan doesn’t have the IS300 anymore, and Keith still has the Evo X.

    Here is the video captured two years ago when Jordan was still in possession. Enjoy.

    Just another Wekfest at Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA, however, this time around this is the last one at this location. Nonetheless, they put together Southern California’s finest automotive builds together once again. Here is a video highlight from some clips Nimo capture, and I decided to quick edit together. Enjoy.

    Jimmy’s Civic & Erik’s EP3 | Video

    It has been a long while since I have actually did video, and doing this video was like learning it again. Here we have Jimmy’s Honda Civic and Erik’s Honda EP3, which have nearly identical visual appearances and performance modifications. Both these cars are static (on coilovers), boosted, and on Volk Racing TE37s.

    Take a look at this highlight of both fine tuned cars:

    Thanks.

  • Straw Hat Richey

    Straw Hat Richey

    During our trip to H2Oi, we had the pleasure of finally meeting a long time internet friend, Ryan Richey from South Carolina with his custom wide body bugeye Subaru. Ryan built his car into his own creation with the many different influences he has gained in the automotive realm.

    Filmed & Edited By: @ShaviW

    The custom wide body Ryan molded with his hands is quite nice and unique of course.

    The 326 power wing sits right at home on the body. Good choice.

    Cool points for the lambo doors. You either dig it or you don’t.

    Finally seeing this car in person is just a surreal experience when we have only seen it via the internet till now. Thanks Ryan for letting us take some shots, and for being such an awesome stud muffin. Hopefully, we can hang out some more next year at SOWO.

  • Video Timeline 2012

    I recently decided to compile all my footage from 2012 into a timeline video. While I was doing this, I thought it was cool that I took the time and effort to create a video nearly every month of the year. Great way to learn from my mistakes and improve; at least I hope I am improving. In the end, I do this for fun as an additional hobby to my obsession with cars. I hope you guys enjoy a look into my 2012.

  • White & White

    White & White

    We were out in Las Vegas, Nevada for the end of the SEMA show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. After we were done with SEMA, we had some time to chill with our friends out there like usual and shoot the cars for a bit. It had been a while since I made a video and got my hands on a new crane, so it was a fun way to learn some new things while filming. Nevertheless, I especially liked this shoot because both these cars were running new setups; be it new wheels or new lip kits. Check out Minh Nguyen’s Lexus IS250 and Keith Cheng’s Honda Accord.

    I also had some time to take some pictures, something I rarely do, but have gotten into playing around with my photo skills these days.

    Minh still rocking the Junction Produce Scara wheels, but now with a new lip kit. Looks mighty fine.

    Keith recently got a much needed firmware update on his wheel setup; it’s been outdated since 2010. Now updated to Work VS-KF wheels.

    PEACE BE WITH YOU.
