Being very new to editing photos I just had to share this quick snap of Jackie Law’s “Internet Sensation”, his Honda S2000.
This photo was all green and yellow before and after spending almost an hour on editing this pic I’m really happy with how it turned out and thought I’d share it with y’all.
Until next time!

Finally from our “Ultra Shoot” a couple weeks back we have 2010’s “Geeked Up” edition of Nick Chow’s infamous J’s Racing S2000.
Sporting a fresh set of Jordan 11s (White Volk TE37s) Nick continues to set the bar for those in our local scene.
This S2000 has yet to be put in its natural element at the track. But with new fitment and updated stopping power it will definitely be interesting to see how well Nick’s S2K attacks the road course this season.
I must also note that most shots of this whip were taken in a cemetery. Definitely something out of the ordinary for the illmotion photogs at hand that night (Jason & Aldrich), nontheless very suitable for a vehicle that lays the competition to rest.
With such a peaceful ambiance and the radiance of Chowfun’s “Bot”, the outcome of the shoot was…well, have a look for yourself.
New for 2010//
_Mugen S1 Racing Seats
_Volk TE37 (White) 18×9.5 +22
_Bridgestone RE11 255/35R18
_Project Mu 777 Front Brake Pads
_Project Mu 999 Rear Brake Pads
Along with Ryan’s MR2, we were also given the honor of shooting Jackson’s “Doin’ ASM Everything” S2000.
Many of you have probably read about this car in Honda Tuning, and being that it is a local car, it’s only proper we feature it the right way here on illmotion!
Inspired by the ASM Race Demo S2000 (as well as fellow S2K homie Nick Chow’s J’s Racing S2000), Jackson’s “RICEPOT” is definitely one of those Hondas you cannot ignore if you ever come across it.
With it’s Grand Prix White exterior, red interior, freshly fitted Bronze Volk RE-30s, and of course it’s roaring ITBs, this is one S2000 that will simply leave you speechless.
I guess we can call this Part 2 from our “Ultra Shoot” ha ha!
On to the pics…

Speedtech hosted their first track day of the year today, unfortunately I wasn’t able to participate this time around so it gave me plenty of time to snap pics. Sorry I missed lots (most) cars but the battery died pretty early, opps. Perhaps some of the other guys that were shooting have some more pics.
Some more of Jason’s Civic, which BTW looks so good on the track.
Getting closer and closer to the wall haha.
I could snap pics of this car all day long….
Next up we have Gang-star-Dee’s Spoon S2000. By far the best sounding car on the track today. 
Dal’s K20 ITR…. which pulled on most other cars hard!
Clean STI
Black AP2 rolling on some really nice Advan’s
J’s S2000, I think this was the comtech supercharged one (too many S2’s on the track to keep track of ha!)
Jamie’s S2000 was up on jacks for most of the day…. he fried his pads before I even arrived haha. Anyways he ended up changing them up in the pits and got back out there before the end of the day. You will be seeing more of this car soon.
Really fast 135i…. like really fast!
EK Civic hatch
8th gen Civic coupe
And one last shot of us contracting west nile just to bring you coverage haha.
How do you make a solid Honda platform look sick, without going over the top and ending up with a huge bowl of rice? Simple: just take a look at Rajan’s homemade recipe.
This unique recipe starts off with a layer of custom gold paint, and a touch of black Honda Black pearl paint on the roof. Next, add a Seibon Carbon hood, Spoon Sports spoiler, SiR front lip, and Password:JDM thin side moldings. Afterward, Raj suggests you delete the front and rear wipers. While your at it, might as well smoke the front, rear and side marker lights, and shave the antenna.
For that special touch, Raj also threw in some Tein Super Street Coilovers, an ITR front and rear sway bar, SPC camber kit, Skunk2 lower control arms, Beaks rear lower tiebar, and a Password:JDM 3 point front strut bar and rear strut bar.
For a full flavor marinade; a 98 Spec Type R transmission, Pssword:JDM carbon intake, Skunk2 intake manifold and fuel rail, Buddy Club racing spec headers, Blox cat delete, Apex’i N1 exhaust, NGK Plugs and a Mizu Aluminum Radiator and slim fan are a must. Raj also says that mixing in a carbon solenoid cover and hood dampers, a set of Spoon Sports rad hoses, a Greddy oil cap, a candy red powder coated ITR valve cover, J’s Racing carbon spark plug cover and Cusco oil catch can can also add some subtle tastes.
Chef’s special suggestion for the health wise? Pealing the A/C out can save on those nasty calories.
After settling, you can spice up the interior with some Bride Digo seats, custom Bride doorcards, armrest and floor mats. A Mugen shift knob, ITR shiftboot and Personal Grinta steering wheel with Works Bell hub and quick release can also add that extra little kick.
You can begin the final preparations with a set of Rotora drilled and slotted rotors and Rotora brake lines, Axxis pads and Project Mu brake fluid. Cover these with a set of 16×7 +45 Buddy Club P1 wheels wrapped in 205/45RZ16’s (Falken FK451 in the back, Toyo T1R Proxies in the front). Last but not least, throw a set of Project Kic’s 10mm spacers on front and you are ready to serve.
For those who wish to enjoy this recipe a little more, it can be found on display at the illmotion booth during Driven Edmonton on Saturday August 7th.
To continue on the NSX week..
Last weekend was the 20th Anniversary of the Honda NSX.
The meet was held during the performance days at the famous Nurburgring.
Special part was a meeting of European based NSXs. A total of 58 cars made it out there.
You must understand the special appearance of the car since at normal meetings, there are a max 15 cars together.
It all started at Saturday morning when most of the NSXs and more Hondas joined up and drove off to the ring. Must be an awesome thing to drive there with a lot of those cars.
Sunday morning everybody showed up at the GP Strecke.
Everybody parked up together and then it was time for photo’s and a loot of catching up between the owners.
Since I know you guys also like the ladies, so at this point I’ll just shut up and let you enjoy the rest of the pictures.
Also a cool example of how a Ringracer should look like.
Thank you Dimer, once more for the shots.
Hi everyone!
My name is Aldrich and I’ve been invited to contribute to the site. I run my own blog as well (http://aldrichevangelista.blogspot.com), but I will try my best to post quality stuff and promise not to bore you. I’ve decided to make this a full introduction with my trip down memory lane, so you know where I’m coming from and why I will post what I will.
I’ve been in this Calgary car scene for about 14 years now (before some of the illMotion members were legally driving), and I’ve seen a lot of changes in it. Shops and teams come and go, the scene having its ups and downs. I’ve known the illMotion guys for quite a while now, and although I sometimes don’t agree with everything that they do, I can’t argue with what they are trying to accomplish with the local car scene by trying to revive it, and will do my best to help them every step of the way.
If you’re reading this post, and/or frequent this site, we have a common passion… cars. I’ve had three cars in my lifetime so far, and for some odd reason (and most of you can relate me to), I can’t leave any of them alone. I have to modify something. It started with my 96 Civic coupe. Bought new in 1996 by my parents, it was meant as a commuter car for my dad, with some occasional driving by me since I had just turned 16, and gotten my license. But that idea didn’t last very long. I pretty much was into cars at 14, and know I couldn’t just let something I drove look like every one elses car. A few years later, my parents ended up with another car, and I was free to do whatever I wanted with the Civic. The car changed every year (mainly the wheels, I think I’ve gone through 10 sets), but I wasn’t truly happy with her until 10 years later. Here is my first love Jen-Elle in her prime (photos from 2006):

After some editing in Photoshop:
Spotted this on beyond.ca in the Honda Picture Thread. I’m not sure who the owner is, but if he’s got our sticker then he must frequent the site! If you are reading this, post more pics of your car in the comments and we can put those up! Car looks gangster!
I didn’t really want to post up more CRZ content (I’m sure some readers are sick of all the CRZ stuff) but after I saw these pics online I just had to.

Last Saturday a few of us from the crew went out and took some random snaps of our whips. This shoot almost didn’t happen (Thanks Punit) but with the patience of the peeps who came out we were able to get some pretty dope shots as the sun was ready to fade for the day.
Shout out to Justin and Jackie T. for coming along with us.
More pics after the jump!
