Lately, we’ve had this crazy stream of people posting their pics of their rides reppin’ illmotion – which is awesome. We love seeing those posts on our facebook wall – so if you got a pic, post it up! And we’ll do our best to get it out! We think all rides deserve some sort of shout out. Thanks again for the support guys! We hit 1,000 fans on facebook thanks to all of you!

iM: UCCC Meet – October 23, 2010
This past Saturday, I had a chance to drop in on the University of Calgary Car Club (UCCC) Halloween Cars & Coffee meet. It was a bit chilly out, but was fun to just hang out nonetheless. Got a few snaps of the cars and of people just hanging out. Thanks goes to Terence for his work in putting this together. Please check out their webpage which also has links to their forums, and their Facebook page (click in their logo):
iM Likes This: C-West CRZ
Saw pics of the new C-West CRZ aero a while back but just happened to stumble on this video, must resist urge to buy a CRZ haha. All the big JDM companies are pumping out CRZ parts like crazy (more coming soon on that). Should be interesting to see how this whole ‘sport-hybrid’ thing works out, the Japanese seem to be running with it!
iM Highlight: Chris Chan’s 2007 Honda Civic Si
words//jc.tenchavezphotography//prashant.topiwala With “simple and effective” being a key note lately here on illmotion, I’d like to draw your attention to Chris Chan’s 2007 Honda Civic Si. When I first saw Chris’s Si via Corey’s coverage of Beyond.ca’s 2010 Summer Cruise, the dope stance and the entire vehicle being wrapped in Flat Black Vinyl immediately caught my eye. Upon meeting Chris, I had asked him where he got the work done and his reply was something I didn’t expect, which made me appreciate the car even more: “My girlfriend (Samantha) and I worked on it ourselves”. In this day and age [...]

iM: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca Chinook Meet – Oct. 20/10
With the season winding down and the threat of snow looming, the weekly Wednesday night 403 Honda/Beyond.ca meets are getting quieter and quieter. Not many people show up this time of year due to it getting dark out earlier, and getting cold out. But a few people still go. Took my camera and tripod with me to possibly get some practice on something that I’ve been dreading doing because of my epic failures on previous attempts: low light photography. I guess my pics came out ok, was messing with the settings all over the place, and got some results that [...]
iM: Crew Decals
More hard reppers Derek Covington reppin’ on his S2000 And Matt Nicholls with his FA5. Thanks again for the support guys! We’re heading into winter now, so hopefully all of you have some sick plans for next season and we’ll be out and about shooting all your shit again!
iM Feature: Al’s BMW X5izzle
Since we’re on the subject of SUV’s – let’s show some love to Al’s BMW X5. Al is no freshman to the car scene and for those of you who know Al other than being a moderator on beyond.ca, he’s one of the OG’s in the 403. Al has come from a nice stable of cars in the past. From an Integra Type-R to a Mazdaspeed Protege, he moved on to the Euro scene with two Mercedes SL55′s with one of them being an AMG. As if that wasn’t enough power, Al turned to Japan’s “Godzilla”, the Nissan GT-R R32. [...]
iM: REVWERKS Year End Track Day
Hey everyone just wanted to share a video of one of the last track days that we had here for the season. Unfortunately all the hard work, money, time, blood, sweat and tears we put into our cars here in Calgary only gets to be enjoyed for a few months out of the year. This year was especially dismal as we didn’t really have a summer per say; but we made the most of what we had and took advantage of all the track days we possibly could. Here is a video of the last Revwerks Lapping Day of the [...]
