To “officially” kick start the 2013 season, Driven made it’s way to the Olympic Oval in Calgary. A little earlier than the previous year, this certainly did not stop everybody from getting their cars ready, some even just MINUTES before the end of roll-in and set up. With over 250 cars coming together under one roof, Driven continues to get better every year as owners/enthusiasts just know that it is the perfect opportunity to showcase what he/she has been hiding over the course of the winter. With that, the quality factor continues to improve as well as participants step it [...]
iM Event Coverage: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca Meet – April 24, 2013
It was a gorgeous night out for the last 403 Honda/Beyond.ca at Chinook, and that meant a really awesome turnout, the best turnout we’ve seen all season. Hopefully the meets stay as busy as they have been, if not busier! Here’s a few of the many shots I took. To see the rest, check out the set on our Flickr stream: HERE And for my buddy Aldo, I know where you hide your snacks now… in your bumper. Make sure to come on down and hang out the next meet at Chinook on May 1st, 2013.
iM Event Coverage: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca Meet – April 17, 2013
Another week has gone by, and that means another edition of the weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca Meet! Its nice to see these meets getting busier and busier as the weeks go by and the weather starts cooperating. Its nice to see cars that come every week, and see how they progress as the season goes by. Its also been great in the fact that the cars are getting more and more diverse. Here’s a quick taste of some of the cars that were out this week, for lots more shots, check out the set on our Flickr stream: HERE Make sure [...]
iM Feature: Devon Mori’s 1992 Honda Civic EG6 & 2006 Honda CBR600RR
Last summer, we were pleasantly surprised and quite happy to hear that one of our longtime supporters, and one of the homies, Devon Mori, was going to represent and enter with us for Driven 2012. The biggest reason we were excited for Devon’s “return” if you will, was due to the fact that the Driven show was going to mark the resurrection of his 1992 Right Hand Drive Honda Civic EG6, a project that Devon initially thought he had put to rest. To come back with a bang, Devon also came out to represent the motor bike scene with a [...]
iM Highlight: Josh’s Honda S2000
When the New Year rolls around it usually is the beginning of a countdown for me. It marks a few more months until we get to see the first few days of nice weather on the west coast, and with this brings the excitment of driving to popular spots to find others similar to you, who bring their cars to kick it and hang out, followed by evenings where you drive aimlessly having the best time doing so. From the point of first snowfall until the spring season hits, that alone feels like a year in itself. After a few [...]
iM Highlight: Mike’s 1975 Honda CB750
I’m sure by now, everyone is missing the warm summer months. The days where you could go outside, meet up with some homies and chill in a parking lot, and go for a cruise with the windows down. Although some of us still drive our cars in winter mode, I feel for you guys and gals who ride bikes. Putting a bike away for 7-8 months must be very depressing. Mike Salek is one of those people. You’ve probably seen some shots of his Ducati 999R and a few random pics of his black AP2 S2000 on the site before. [...]
iM Feature: Adam Fulton’s Honda Civic EK Hatch
Here on illmotion, we’ve always been criticized of always publishing features of mainly just our friends and family in the scene and never searching for the greatest build ever that hides in the garage and never sees the light of day. As I come up with write ups for all these cars practically every week, this is always very discouraging to hear as coming into this, the only reason “illmotion” got together was because of one basic foundation: the enthusiasm that we all share for the love of cars. To get straight to the point, without this enthusiasm, “illmotion” wouldn’t [...]
iM Feature: Terry Woo’s 1998 Acura Integra Type-R
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 [...]
iM x S&P! Feature: Gawa’s Honda Fit
For those of you who frequent our site you may recognize the name ‘Gawa’, as Galen Wan has been a long time contributor to illmotion. He has graciously sent pictures our way of all the major events out of eastern Canada, the most well done cars from his car family (and one of the hottest car crews out there), Level One, and even hooked us up with Tokyo Auto Salon 2012 coverage from his trip to Japan. Since Galen’s been running around snapping all these pictures and providing nothing but quality content, it makes you wonder what Galen himself drives. [...]
iM Feature: Gabes EF Hatch
A blast from the past, here is the very first car I featured for Illmotion a few years ago, and ever since then I have wanted to re-shoot, and re-write a feature article as the car has progressed. Gabes build quality is truly extraordinary, and the best part is 95% of the build took place in his own shop. Known to many Nanaimoites as the man to go to for work on their cars. Gabe has progressed not only with his car over the last 5 years of ownership, but also with the tools, shop, and resources to build/work on [...]
