You’ve heard it over and over again, and anyone with a true project car will swear by it: a project car is never truly finished, it just continues to progress and get better over time. A lot of cars come and go, but it’s the ones that come out and continue to keep up with the times that truly stand out and set the tone for both newcomers and those already familiar to the scene. As repetitive as we may sound regarding project cars that are never done and maintain consistency, there’s a particular Integra Type-R that takes everything we’ve [...]

Dedication. Without a doubt, this is one of the key elements required when bringing a plan or project to life. Combine this with time and passion and eventually, that plan/project that one commits him/herself to pieces itself together nicely, and the outcome almost always leaves one with an incredible feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction. We say ‘almost always’, because it can also however, leave one with the hunger for more, ultimately pushing an individual to bring that original plan or project to another level; all of course driven by dedication. A prime example of utilizing true dedication is Daniel Kowall, [...]

In May 2003, Subaru released the fourth generation Legacy GT. It was always the bigger more luxurious car in the Subaru lineup, but Subaru really stepped it up with this new version.

When Annie was looking for a new vehicle as her old Ford Escape was [...]

Driven with a purpose. The car scene certainly has a sort of hilarity to it. If we sit back and think about it, we are all guilty of buying what is considered “baller parts” and we floss the shit out of them to our peers in the community and even our friends, but for what? To simply hard park and have our cars look good on our driveways, inside our garages, and sit pretty the local car meet or even at the grocery store? Sure, there are many of us who have taken our cars to the track and have [...]

Last year I met with some guys from the illmotion crew after sending them my video “Curtis’s Evo X” to post on the illmotion blog. We did some chatting and talked about the idea of me heading down to Calgary to shoot a video of their crew. Well, we finally made that idea come to life! My brother Daniel and I made the trip to Calgary on September 29th. We only had about a 3 hour window in Calgary before we had to head-back to Edmonton. So we made do with little time we had! I’ve never shot more than [...]
