What do you do when its gorgeous out, all the whips are clean, and everyone has their wheels/new parts on the car? If if you’re like us, there is only one answer: you cruise. And cruise is exactly what we did. You know how it goes… get something to eat, hang out for a bit, roll to another spot to hang out, decide to shoot the whips, then cruise some more. F the crazy gas prices…
Some of y’all may remember Brad’s EM1 that we took random snaps of last year. This year he’s got a few new modifications with boost and his Type-R 5 lug conversion being the most notable. With the summer quickly on the come up it’s not long til we see Brad rip his SiR around the track. Ideally built with function in mind and JDM goodness to boot don’t be surprised if you see this EM1 lappin’ on everybody at Race City this year, and snappin’ necks when spotted on Calgary’s streets. Brad perfectly describes his SiR when he says ‘This [...]
With some what of a summer finally upon us the track at Race City is starting to see some action. There have already been a few track days this year, but this marks the first track day held by GarageBox The day, Monday May 23rd, started out with a lot of rain but that didn’t stop all the people from coming out and ripping it around. There was a great turn-out with some cars freshly out of their hiding spots from the winter. It was definitely great to see everyone enjoying themselves regardless of the cold and wet conditions and [...]
In the process of planning a Vegas trip with some buddies I realized we were going to be in Vegas only a couple days away from when the annual epic Honda meet know as ‘Eibach’ was going to be taking place. After checking some flight prices it was a done deal. Eibach + Vegas trip, yup! As for the event let me start off by saying that I have never seem anything like this. Being from Canada our scene or whatever you want to call it isn’t even close to being on the level of Cali (although we still try). [...]

Keeping with the VW flow, we went to our FlickR pool and this beauty caught my eye. From photographer Jeroen Buitenhuis in the Netherlands, who’s teal civic was previously featured on here. Here are a few shots of a clean Volkswagen Polo GTI Check out Jeroen’s photostream Jeroen’s Photostream
Went to check out one of my favorite blogs this afternoon and noticed Nit’s awesome post regarding illmotion’s interest in repping for Dude Blvd here in Canada. I had the opportunity to chat it up with him the other night and it reminded me why we do what we do here on illmotion. If you can remember way back when we posted DudeBlvd’s “Devil In A New Dress” video featuring a VIP GS430 & the lovely Julie Mai. That was the first time I heard of DudeBlvd and their blog. When I first stumbled upon DudeBlvd, I thought it was [...]
Ricky’s Volkswagen has really been a long time coming for those who knew when he got the car. The day he picked it up, he had an idea and that idea became another idea and eventually became a plan. Once that had all started, it all started coming together. Volkswagen’s are known to be dumped, fitted and look damn good doing it. Ricky’s GTI is no different. There are usually two routes that VW owners go – static drop on coils or dropped on bags. Ricky took the static route and went on doing his research. What coils to get, [...]
Driven 2010 It’s that time again! Summer and nice weather is upon us and we are getting ready to see some sick rides come out again. Unfortunately for the local 403 peeps, there won’t be a show in Calgary this year. While this is a big disappointment for us especially after our surprising turnout last year of both quantity and quality, we’d still love to have some kind of representation somewhere. Luckily, we have our neighbors over in Vancouver holding DTP 2011 and we are going to make every effort we can to bring our show over there. With that [...]
