iM: Crew Decals

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 Highlight: Chris Chan’s 2007 Honda Civic Si

words//jc.tenchavez

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 where more and more people look to shops to perform tinting and vinyl work, it’s “Do-It-Yourself-ers” like Chris who you gotta give mad props and appreciation for. I mean, just think of the time, patience, and effort Chris and Samantha put in to complete this vinyl wrapping project!

In addition to (and amazed at) what Chris and Samantha accomplished here, his decision to go with an aggressive wheel and suspension set up definitely compliment this Civic’s overall form, and this is only the beginning for Chris’s Si…

More pics after the jump.

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 I was happy with. And some nice cars showed up tonight too, so I was happy.

Thirsty?

Being a former Tacoma owner, I still have love for them:

But then I went in for a closer look… DAMN!!!


Only driver in the whole parking lot that couldn’t see the lines. It wasn’t that dark, was it?


In so much love with this Audi with the Benz wheels:

And to finish off, a self-gratifying shot of my car with the preview of how it’ll roll next season… cause I’ve never had a semi-decent stance before!

Oh crap, I almost forgot about a couple cars. Not really important cars, almost didn’t put them up.

But I did anyways since its rare that these two Beyond.ca members would show up.

JordanLotoski’s Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera:


OK, now I’m done.

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.

Now I guess with age comes sophistication and some practicality. What more can you ask for with the X5. Simplicity works best here and as you can see, it’s still aggressive as ever.


Here’s Al’s setup for the X5
staggered 20″ TSW Estorils
H & R wheel spacers 5mm-F, 10mm-R
lowered 2″ front intrax springs, rr air susp lowered via BMW re-coding
AFE intake
custom exhaust w/factoy resonator delete
matte kidney grills

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 season. Hope you all enjoy.
