  • Low Beachin

    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.

  • Kids Being Kids

    Kids Being Kids

    This past Thursday, I got a tip from a friend that Mr. Chris Foreman just got new wheels for his Z. After class, I rushed over to Ladera Ranch to see these bad boys in person for the first time. When we arrived, Chris had already begun to adjust his car to fit his impossibly wide setup. Full feature soon when his car is cleaned up and dialed in.

    It was the day of the monthly Thursday night Euro meet down at the Laguna Hills Mall, so Chris was anxiously getting everything ready for the meet.

  • Unusual Underground

    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

    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.

    The Sunkist. All wet.

  • Last Minhute IS300

    Last Minhute IS300

    I put the IS300 together real quick with the help of Angelo and David. I swear, whenever anyone needs to slam their cars to the ground, we end up doing it at Angelo’s house. Thanks, David, for letting me borrow the wheels, and Brandon, for the grille. Putting this together was just for fun.

    Wish I could’ve gotten a front lip for it and fixed the bumper before I took these photos.

  • Balboa Chillin’

    Balboa Chillin’

    This will be my little introduction here on Royal Origin. Over the weekend, a couple of my friends and I went out on a little adventure to try and look for some places to shoot at. We tried to stay away from those traditional parking structures that everyone seems to choose as their default location for night shoots. We tried some locations around the Newport area, and came up with some spots near Fashion Island.

      Here is Chris super slammed Nissan 350z. Many of you will think “wow, that car must ride like shit at that height.” Surprisingly, the ride on this Z is probably the most comfortable ride I’ve ever felt in any slammed car that sits as low as this does.

      His car is still a work in progress and you guys should definitely keep an eye out on his car in the near future.

  • 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

  • Random Sightings at Rotiform

    Random Sightings at Rotiform

    Went to Rotiform once again, but this time to pick up a few items that were completed for me from when I dropped by last time. Most likely, be here a few more times in the next month or so.

    Check out the last time I went to Rotiform here: Visiting Rotiform

    This is what the Rotiform work station and some of the warehouse shelves look like as you take a walk inside. And here are some random sightings on a few items laying about the warehouse either to be sent out or completed for the future happy customers.

    “Are you so low that it takes an hour to angle up that slightly inclined driveway that even my 90 year old grandfather can wheel chair up by himself? Do you think you have the best technique and style for getting up that fucked up driveway? Then prove it!”

    At the first ever Its JDM Yo – You Think You Can Stance? competition a variety of vehicles came to check it out and accept the challenge.
