We aren’t done yet. We all have our own perspective on the show and so we’ll just keep posting until we’ve exhausted our supply. It never hurts to see more pictures 😀
My favourite booth of the night – I swear I was in J’s Racing/Voltex heaven. I think I have GT wing fever.
Onto the pics!
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. The rain didn’t stop anyone from attending the show and it was definitely nice seeing some familiar faces and meeting new ones!
Congratulations going out to illmotion’s very own Punit Patel for winning 2nd Place Best Acura. Also a huge shout out and congratulations going out to Chris Gudzowsky (Best Classic Showoff), Michael Kwan (Best Stance Showoff) and James Ditchfield (Best Subaru) on their awards as well.
With illmotion going home with 4 awards and an amazing modified car representation from Vancouver, the DTP Auto Show was definitely worth the trip!
A huge thanks to all of you who came out to the show and much appreciation and thanks to those who attended the DTP show to rep alongside with us! The drive to and from was a blast! (Stay tuned for Random Shots of the trip)
On to part one of the show pics!

Part 2 & 3 coming soon!
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!
Another week, and another busy 403 Honda/Beyond Meet at Chinook Centre. Lots of cars out this week, and a bunch that don’t normally show up, so it was a good time had by all. Weather was great this week, so that helped out a lot. Here are a bunch of pics:
Even my goddaughter knows whats up with the NSX:
“Yes Kylah, its rolling on Volk TE-37s…”
Before I finish this post, I do need to address a major concern that a few of our members have noticed close to the end of the meets. If you bring any food or drink out to the meet or go inside to grab something, please pick up after yourselves. There is a lot of bottles, cups, and general garbage that gets left behind whenever the meet is done. I realize the garbage can is a little bit of a walk away, but the staff at Chinook kindly let us use the parkade to meet on Wednesdays, lets show them a little bit of respect, and at least keep the place clean. I’d hate for us to lose a spot to meet because people leave a mess.
Weather permitting, we will see you all next week!
I know its a little late, but here are some pics from last weeks 403 Honda/Beyond meet. I apologize, it wasn’t that busy last week, and I was kinda lazy/tired from work and didn’t take that many pictures, but here are a few anyways. See everyone at the next one!
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.

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 😉
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…
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). Shit was packed full of cars, and even more packed full of people. Pure and utter chaos of people and magazine cover cars haha.
The pics speak for themselves…. the quality of Cali’s Hondas is unmatched. I highly recomend everyone start planning their Eibach 2012 flights or road trip. What a blast!

Once again, we have our weekly beyond meet and it only continues to get bigger. This was my first time out this year and I have to say, it was nice to see so many legit cars coming out nowadays. Compared to last year, where we would see maybe 10-15 cars every week filling up one row, we’re getting to 4 and maybe even 5 rows some nights.
One thing I’d also like to say is that it seems that everyone has really stepped their game up over the last few seasons which is awesome to see. Nice parts, nicely kept cars, new things to see.. I think that’s what our car scene needs.
Lastly, like all of the posts we’ve had about the beyond meets.. We just want to stress that good behavior at the meets is expected. Last night was a good night for everybody minus the guys that think letting ‘er rip down the ramp is still cool. Let’s keep this up and make it a good time for everyone.
