iM Feature: Unlimited Power RAWRSX

I’ve always had a soft spot for DC5s. When they first came out, I remember thinking how much I wanted one of these cars when I was older and as a result, I’m a sucker for a nice and clean DC5. So I was quite thrilled to be able to shoot Steve’s car.

Initially, Steve fitted his 2002 Acrua RSX Type-S with the Type-R kit but being unsatisfied with the results, Steve turned to Mugen (whose name means Unlimited Power) instead. The end result is a car that is even more aggressive without going overboard. The Mugen bumper and hood just give the front end a very mean look.

Due to this car being a daily driver, Steve went with Tein S-Tech springs instead of coilovers for practicality reasons. The springs give the car a nice drop while retaining ride comfort and drivability on the potholed streets of Calgary. Footwork wise, Steve went with a staggered set of Advan RGs.

What’s up! from Import Bible

Hey guys I’ll introduce my self quickly. My name is David, I’m the owner of Import Bible and also the web/graphic guy at Edmonton based shop, Garage Works. I come across some great cars at Garage Works so I thought I’d post a few pictures up of the cars we work on there.

First up is Ed’s Cayman S. It look’s like a slightly modified Cayman S but Ed spent a pretty dime prepping this one to be a track monster. The most notable modification is a X51 engine swap from a Porsche 911, KW suspension and custom roll cage.

The car sits on a set of custom made Forgeline rims.








These lightweight seats were from a 996 GT3.







A SpeedArt spoiler replaces the stock spoiler.

Z-Generates : The 240Z & 350Z

Have you ever met that smoking hot girl, gone to her house, and upon meeting her mom, you can totally see that her bodily curves are just a newer improved version of her mom’s?

Her mom would have been smoking hot in her day, and there are defiantly some people out there that think she still is…

That’s the first thing that came to mind when shooting these two Z’s. Though separated by a few generations, you can see the subtle influences of the older Datsun 240Z in the Nissan 350Z.

Though they are both powered by 6 cylinder plants, I noticed the 2.4L I-6 in the 240Z sounds much like an American muscle car, where as the 3.5L V6 in the Nissan 350Z sounds more of a Japanese in-line engine…. Ironic? I think so.

iM Feature: Jason’s FGizzle

Finally after a long long wait, I was able to get up and do a shoot on my car while it’s still clean and accident-free. It is pretty much done now that I added the front lip so this is how it will sit all summer. I really feel that it has come a long way from previous years and I never thought I’d say it but “I’m done”.
All it really needs now are regular maintenance and squash air fresheners every few months. Hopefully I can pick up a new whip in the next year and start with a fresh new template again.
Thanks to Arif and JC for coming out and helping out with the shoot yesterday. Turned out pretty good. I think it really captured all of the angles nicely.

iM: Weekly Beyond.ca Meet 06/30/10

Had an opportunity to check out the Beyond.ca meet last week. Since I’ve been contemplating whether or not to buy myself a camera Aldrich let me shoot using his. I apologize for the n00b quality pictures but hey it’s a learning experience and I’ll get better with time.

Thanks to my homie Aldrich from the Whatever’s Clever blog for letting me use his camera!

Speaking of the Beyond.ca meet, The turn out wasn’t as good as I expected (although Canada Day long weekend probably had a lot to do with it) so I want to encourage you all to check them out Wednesdays (every week) when you get a chance! We’d love to meet fellow car enthusiasts and fans of our site!

See you at the meets!
