With Summer quickly drawing to a close and the fall season pretty much upon us, the homies got together on this lovely Friday evening to take advantage of the nice weather and patio it up for dinner in Downtown Calgary. The evening was absolutely perfect for kicking it on a patio and once we finished eating, we decided to head to Village Ice Cream for some dessert and hang out for a bit to enjoy the ambient light set up that is located just beside the recently opened Ice Cream shoppe. There’s definitely nothing like chillin’ with the homies, enjoying [...]
iM Event Coverage: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca Meets – September 19, 2012
Here we go again with another round of the weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca. Time is running out for this summer, so we’re trying to go when we can. Don’t forget, the OG SuperMeat is next Wednesday, so if you’re gonna make it out to one, come to this next one. This weeks pics and more can be found: HERE
iM Highlight: Ryan Dandurand’s 2011 BMW 1M
Some of you may remember Ryan Dandurand and his infamous Imola Red 1991 Toyota MR2 (Photos HERE) and the various stages that we’ve featured of it throughout the years. Today, Ryan’s back once again, but with something a little different from his MR2 this time around. Kicking it totally new school, Ryan’s focus is now drawn to his newly acquired 2011 BMW 1M. For a quick little background on the 1M, BMW introduced it’s high performance sub-compact to North America with a limited stock release of 220 vehicles. Ryan’s 1M is actually the 65th of the 220 made. In typical [...]
iM Random Snaps: It’s Always A Good Time
Whoa oh oh, oh oh oh! ANYWAYS! With the hustle and bustle of the crew trying to get as much photo shoots done as possible before the winter hits, it feels as though that’s all we’ve been focusing on as of late, and have lost touch with what the automotive “scene” is all about for us: having a good time. Since the summer season started, we’ve been very busy with organizing for Driven, Sunday School, and other small events here and there. One Saturday night we figured it would be nice to just kick back, and enjoy a few burgers [...]
iM Event Coverage: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca – September 12, 2012
Got a set of pictures from last nights meet, its getting harder and harder to shoot out there with it getting dark so fast, so I apologize once again for the crappy quality pictures. Try to make it out to these meets as there isn’t much time left in the season. And for those of you that don’t know, the 5th Annual 403 Honda/Beyond OG/Everyone SuperMeat is on September 26th, 7-10pm. Hope to see you guys there!

iM Highlight: Twin TSX’s
‘The Acura TSX. Known as the European Accord or JDM Accord outside of North America, The Acura TSX (Touring Sportscar eXperimental) was introduced to North America in late 2003 as an entry level mid-size luxury sedan.’ Take that cheesy and kind of lame introduction and from an initial standpoint, the TSX wouldn’t exactly be the first weapon of choice when it comes to having a vehicle to modify, whether it be as a modded daily driver or a dedicated project car. It’s because of this exact mentality though, that some of the most cleanest and well done cars out there, [...]
iM Event Coverage: MADD Canada’s Quarry Park & Polish 2012
On Sunday, September 9th 2012, the crew headed out to Quarry Park to support MADD Canada’s “Quarry Park & Polish” held in Calgary. Since illmotion started in 2010, this has been one of our favorite shows to attend and support as it brings such an eclectic array of vehicles ranging from imports, domestics, classics, and exotic super cars that we never usually get to see on an every day basis. What makes this show and shine extra special from other shows is the chance we get as “illmotion” not to promote our brand, but rather just kick it with our [...]
iM Highlight: Urban X South’s BMW E36 M3
Keeping it simple. For anyone whose ever modded a vehicle, whether it be conservative or aggressive, a plan (or an idea) is usually sought out before continuing with a build. For Gary & Cort of Urban Expressions Wheel & Tire (South) and their 1999 model BMW E36 M3, the plan was straight forward; keep it simple. Without a doubt, the main focus of this E36 M3 is found right where the boys from Urban Expressions specialize in, the wheels and tires. Sitting proper on 18×9.5 (front) and 18×11 (rear) custom painted Nagano Silver faced AC Schnitzer Rennsport Type 1s wrapped [...]
iM Event Coverage: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca Meet – September 5, 2012
The month of September is upon us, which pretty much signals the end of the summer, the start of fall, and impending coming of a automotive enthusiasts least favorite season: winter. You can feel it getting colder and colder here in the evening and night, but that still will not stop a bunch of people from showing up to the weekly meets. Grabbed a few pictures while we were at it, please excuse some of the quality, it was getting quite dark very quickly. Enjoy, and see you next week! And then there is this: a Honda S2000 with an [...]
iM Likes This: Backstage Productions x Importfest 2012
Just recently, some of us from the crew had the opportunity to head over to Toronto, Ontario to check out Importfest 2012. During the trip, we also had the pleasure of meeting our homies from Level One and the man behind their videos, Chris of Backstage Productions. Chris, who was busy through out most of the Imporfest show capturing footage, just completed his latest video, which we are proud to share with all of you! Enjoy Backstage’s take on Imporfest 2012, in video form: doWhatULove | I M P O R T F E S T 2 0 1 2 [...]
