EVO

iM Highlight: Shaffy’s Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII

It has been a while since i posted on illmotion.
but better to wait for the good stuff than post the non-ready content.

Dimer, who we all remember from the red wide-body NSX had a magazine shoot in Amsterdam. Since the location was really one of a kind, He also invited his friend Shaffy to join and take some shots of Shaffy’s Lancer Evolution 8.

Usually when we have Evo’s in Holland, it will not be more than a carbon hood and some fancy wheels. But Shaffy gave his machine quite the upgrades it deserved.

To not let you wait any longer, I will just give you guys the complete spec list.

iM Flashback

iM: Flashback

Thought I’d give some of you sitting around wandering back and forth between sites wondering what the hell to do or need something to look at.

I’ve gone through some of my pictures over the last few years and compiled just a small collection of group shots that I’ve taken either randomly, at car shows, meets or group shoots. You may remember some of the cars as they were and only know how they are now. One that might stand out to most of you is the feature we recently had of Reggie’s Integra or even Punit’s Integra. Check it out.

JDM EGO

iM: JDM EGO Shout Out

Since the weather here in Calgary’s been pretty annoying with gusting wind and piles of snow, I’m sure a majority of us have been kickin’ it at home with little or nothing to do (at least I have anyways).

Earlier this evening, illmotion member Ryan O’Hara sent a facebook message saying to check out the JDM EGO site. Upon checking the site I saw that we’ve been featured!

Just wanted give a quick shout out to Jay and also many thanks for hitting up illmotion and featuring us on JDM EGO!

This is a pretty big deal for all of us here considering JDM EGO is one of the pioneer blogs that set the bar for our site and pretty much all the car blogs you see today.

Thanks again Jay! We definitely gotta send some decals your way!

iM on Vacation: Hello From The Philippines!

As some of you may know, and for others that don’t, I’m currently spending my Christmas/New Years break in the Philippines. Been here since the 20th of December, and won’t be back home until January 12th. Its been a great trip so far, spending time with family I’ve never met, seeing the places where my parents grew up, and at the end of it all, appreciating how lucky I am to live where I live, and learning to not take what I have in everyday life for granted.

An older Evo:

A school bus??? Sweet!:

That being said, I never forgot about you guys. The car scene here is way different than in Canada, traffic is nuts here! The lines on the roads are just suggestions, a two lane highway turns into a 3/4 lane highway. In traffic, if there is a spot on the road for a vehicle, there will be one there.

Anyways, here are some random snaps of different interesting vehicles that I’ve seen so far, ranging from public transportation, nicely done cars, to vehicles that I don’t see on a normal basis.

There were all sorts of mini vans that weren’t that mini. These look like they seat a minimum of 9 people, but are very stylish compared to the vans in North America. This one is a Hyundai Stariex:

This is a Jeepney. It is a common form of public transportation in the bigger cities:

A slightly modified newer Legacy wagon. How come they look much better here?

A new Ford Fiesta S. We will probably get the watered down version in North America:

Toyota Ardeo Vista. Another car I’d like to see in North America:

A clean Fit/Jazz on Volk Gram Lights:

A nice Jeep belonging to a friend of the family:

Thats all for now. Hope you enjoyed it so far. I’ll leave you with this pic… more on it soon:

iM Feature

iM: The Re-Up 2010 (Part 8)

Our final chapter in the 2010 Re-up. Hope you all enjoyed!
I want to take the time to thank everyone for the support that we’ve had over the past 9 months that allowed us as a group to become what we are today. We never really thought it’d be something like this and now that it’s only going up from here, we just want to share our appreciation. We have a bunch of new stuff in store for 2011 and a surprise should be up in store in the new few weeks!

Over the past 9 months we have been able to raise tons of charity money with the help of you guys to donate to The Alberta Children’s Hospital, MADD Canada, and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. This year, we’re looking once again to raise more money to donate to more foundations. We look forward to having you guys support us supporting others!

With that said, 2011 is finally here and we’re looking forward to having even more turn outs and cars to feature and show you guys. Those of you that were with us since the beginning also knew about our turnout at Driven 2010. We hope that some of you that might be fresh to the game or are ready to show, come out and show with us for 2011! Let’s finish this off.

|Owner: Jackson Chen
|Vehicle: Honda S2000

Jackson’s ASM Honda s2000 is no joke. With ITB’s, ASM kit and J’s racing accessories, it’s both track and street ready. This Honda s2000 is nothing but perfection. Attention to detail goes a long way!

iM Feature: Jackson Chen’s Honda S2000

|Owner: Jackie Law
|Vehicle: Honda S2000

Most of you already probably knew this was coming. Jackie’s internet sensation s2000 has been seen pretty much everywhere. He’s been pushing the limits of the stock body with aggressive fitment, slammed stance and pushing it at the track. I think that’s all that needs to be said about Jackie’s s2000. Check it out.

iM Feature: JKL’s Internet Sensation S2K

|Owner: Alex Markovic
|Vehicle: Acura Integra

Another player in the game is Alex Markovic. His Integra is rarely driven and pretty much everything in this whip is fresh and mint. When you get down to it, every little piece from the paint to the bolt is changed. Nothing is left unnoticed which is what makes Alex’s Integra different from the rest.

iM Feature: Alex’s Turbo Integra

|Owner: Reggie Mah
|Vehicle: Acura Integra

Reggie’s Integra was built in less than a year and extremely quick to get it to how you see it today. With a top one diffuser, status seats, topped out with a mugen style wing and an aggressive stance, Reggie’s Integra had become quite a head turner.


iM Feature: Reggie Mah’s 1998 Acura Integra GS

|Event: Driven 2010

To end it off, we’re gonna show you Driven 2010. This was one of the biggest turnouts for illmotion at the annual car show. We did our first fundraising event for The Alberta Children’s Hospital and we also had the largest turnout in Driven history. We will be back for 2011, hopefully with even more new cars and fresher builds.
