iM Event Coverage: Revwerks Track Day IV
Revwerks has become a regular name at the track these past couple of years. Booking up track-days month after month. This time with a wider mix of cars and even a supercar making an appearance it was a track day to remember! Even though the usual crowd was out enjoying the sun and track, there was another crowd who brought out their brand new BMW’s and Audi’s to put them to test. It was definitely a sight to see and we hope to see those guys out there at the next one which is scheduled for August 18th. Make sure [...]
iM Event Coverage: StatusOne x DriftSquad Slideways Fridays
Just want to start off by giving a shoutout to both StatusOne Autoworks and Driftsquad for putting on a great event! Even though the weather was windy and rainy at times the guys still went out there and showed off their skills! This was the first time heading out to one of their events and it was awesome to meet some of the drifters who we don’t regularly meet at other events. It was also great to enjoy some good music while shooting so props to the DJ that came out! Looking forward to the next one on August 5th(Postponed [...]
iM Feature: Chris’s Triumph TR7
I had the opportunity to shoot Chris’s Trumph TR7 a while ago and finally got the chance to get it up. I have to admit, this isn’t a car you see everyday – in fact, this is a car I have never seen until last year at the Driven car show. I was literally confused and delighted when he rolled in the booth because at first glance, if you don’t know Triumph, then you’re going to wonder what car this is. At second glance, you’ll know the SR20 sitting under the hood is no joke. Chris has done most of [...]

We have been dying to bring our readers some Eastern Canadian coverage for months now and we’ve finally been able to hook up with Galen Wan, aka GAWA and bring you David Soo’s immaculate Fiji Blue 8th gen Civic Si.

iM Event Coverage: DTP Vancouver July 16, 2011 – Part 1
The illmotion Dudes headed out to Vancouver, BC on July 16, 2011 at the Rocky Mountaineer Station to attend the DTP Auto Show presented by Yokohama Tires. The caliber of cars that were present at the show (and the parking lot) just left everybody from the crew speechless. Vancouver’s scene brought everything to the table from highly modified sport compacts and even a few modified luxury vehicles. Aside from the rain, the Vancouver DTP Auto Show was unlike anything we’ve seen in Calgary and it was good to see how other car enthusiasts in Canada are reppin’ for their city. [...]
iM: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond Meet – July 13, 2011
Another week brings another post with pics from the weekly 403 Honda/Beyond Meet. There was a threat of rain, which stopped people from showing up, but luckily only a few drops hit us at Chinook. Hopefully the weather is better and we see everyone for the next one!
