iM Feature: Steve Chan’s Acura RSX

The key idea we live by here at illmotion is “Made You Look”. It’s that “turning heads” mentality that can make certain cars here in Calgary just stand out from the rest. Regardless of what the owner decides to put on his/her car, if it’s grabbed your attention, then that signature illmotion “Made You Look” swag has been achieved. Steve Chan’s RSX is a true testament to our slogan.

With a complete Mugen-style kit, an aggressive stance and a stunning set of Magnesium Blue Volk TE-37s, ignoring this whip is simply impossible. The attention to detail in the interior (JDM ITR Door Sills) and engine bay will also have you looking twice.

Aside from snapping necks when cruising the city streets, Steve’s RSX can be found in it’s true form when he’s tearing it up at the track. With an awesome suspension/wheel set up and a roaring Buddy Club Spec 2 exhaust there’s no denying this car’s capabilities on the road course.

With Steve executing our “Made You Look” lifestyle to the fullest and always keeping his car refreshed every season, there’s no doubt in my mind that you’ll see more of this car in the future.

iM: Random Snaps

Yesterday turned out to be one awesome, hot day. Like always, whenever it’s nice we like to shoot the shit and drive around aimlessly. Went to Peter’s to grab a bite and some milkshakes and then cruised out. Got some snaps… just to keep you busy until you guys get your shirts 😉

Donation

iM Event Coverage: Marcy’s Army @ The 2011 Underwear…

You may remember the release of our “Oil Slick” decals a few months back with 100% of the proceeds going to Marcy’s Army and their efforts to beat cancer at this year’s 2011 Underwear Affair. Because of your support the “Oil Slick” decals sold quick and we donated $150.00 to Marcy’s Army member Scott Pearson.

One of the perks of donating to Scott was being able to dress him up in whatever the crew here at illmotion pleased. With help from Marcy’s Army Captain Teddy Lopez we decided to make him do the 10k run in a banana suit modified by yours truly.

Prashant and I decided to take some snaps before the run to support our Marcy’s Army homies. Scott’s banana suit also ended up 2nd place for best costume at the Underwear Affair!

We want to take this opportunity to congratulate Marcy’s Army on finishing the 10k Run in a little over an hour, as well as raising over $6000 with proceeds going to Cancer research and care for patients at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre and throughout Alberta.

Awesome job guys!

iM Event Coverage

iM Event Coverage: Revwerks Track Day II

Another track day and another good turn out! Revwerks has been a great addition to Calgary’s car scene holding as many track days as possible, this one being the second of the year.

Even though it was a Monday there was a bunch of different cars out on the track although the Mitsubishi’s came out in the biggest numbers.

Unfortunately my time was short there so I didn’t get a chance to get everyone that tore it up but there was some impressive machines on the track.

Now onto the pics!

DriftSquad checking in.

Spectators, lots of people coming and going and saw this on the way out.

More pics can be found HERE. Sorry if I missed you out on the track!
