iM Highlight : Jules Cragg’s Ford Focus Zx5

June 9, 2013Ford, iM Highlight, RotiformLeave a comment

If there were any words that you could use to describe Jules’ Focus when it first rolls up, “Smitten” would have to be one of them. A Street Appearance Package front and rear bumper set, along with an RS Style spoiler and a mix of other customized bits really set off the initial impression of the car, and really differentiate it from your “average” Focus. As a Ford fan through and through (she actually has the iconic Ford “mustang” tattooed on her arm, and her daughter bears the name “Eleanor”), the Focus was an ideal platform to start building her [...]

iM Highlight: Lani’s Mk4 Jetta Vr6

June 4, 2013Euro, iM Highlight, Jetta, VolkswagenLeave a comment

One of my major goals while writing for illmotion was to bring as much euro content to the website as possible. It wasn’t long ago that I shot this beautiful example of a properly done Mk4 Jetta. One of the coolest features of this car is the completely original Votex body kit from VW. If any of you are familiar with Votex, you know how hard it is to find a clean example. Another cool feature about the car is that it was featured on Euro Tuner some years ago. While the car has remained virtually the same since the [...]

iM Highlight: Andy Huynh’s Nissan Skyline GT-R R32

As lucky as we are here in Canada to have the opportunity to bring in some of the most sought after vehicles from Japan and register them as a regular means of transportation, we have to admit that it is in fact a rare sight to see some of these right hand drive vehicles being driven throughout the seasons. And for the ones that we do see being driven every day of the year, well, they usually are not in the greatest condition by the time summer rolls around. To steer away from all of that though, there are some [...]

iM Highlight: Prashant Topiwala’s 2010 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG

March 26, 2013AMG, C63, iM Highlight, MercedesLeave a comment

The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. Without a doubt one of the most well thought out high performance sport sedans out on the market, and undeniably suited for the most spirited drivers around. Complete with an AMG powered 6.3L V8 engine packed in a C-Class chassis, and all the luxurious touches that Mercedes Benz is known for, it’s no wonder illmotion’s own Prashant Topiwala had his mind set on acquiring one of his own. With the C63 sporting the most performance and luxury in it’s class, you couldn’t help but ask Prashant, what else could he possibly do to a vehicle of [...]

iM Highlight: PoorForm Lexus LSs

Towards the end of the season last summer, we were ecstatic to be given the opportunity to shoot two cars we’ve been interested in shooting since our Sunday School Show & Shine, a pair of Lexus LS luxury sedans owned by none other than PoorForm members Jimmy Bailey and Daniel Kowall. For a little background on PoorForm, they are a group of friends, also based out of Calgary, Alberta who we feel, embody that perfect fusion of high end luxury with true motorsport performance. Their slogan, “Ruining perfectly good cars and subjecting them to what they weren’t for…Poor Form indeed.” [...]

iM Highlight: Brad Kutz’s 2003 Nissan 350z

Words & Snaps By: Richard Kratz I met Brad for the first time back in August when I hitched a ride with him down to Calgary for the Sunday School Show and Shine. Having just moved to Edmonton and really not having a clue about the scene here, Brad filled me in on events and local tracks. It was pretty obvious to me that this guy loves motorsports that and he drove 10 hours flat out to Seattle for Formula D. This Carbon Silver Z definitely stands out on the roads with style in mind. It sits on 19″ transparent [...]

iM Feature: Kevin Wong’s 2008 Acura CSX Type-S

January 7, 2013Acura, CSX, iM Highlight2 Comments

Kevin Wong, an admitted Honda fanboy, is no stranger to the JDM movement. He has owned an EP3 SiR that followed the Type R guidelines with Work wheels, JDM Recaros etc. Unfortunately this EP3 would be the victim of an unfortunate and career ending accident and with all motivation lost to put his car back on the road. Kevin looked on to the newest generation Civic at the time, and in the end he would go with the CSX Type-S. Honda Japan actually used the Canadian designed CSX for their template of the JDM Civic and shares some of the [...]

Gonna set this New Year’s Eve off with Part 6 of the Re-Up 2012!!! We hope you guys enjoy whatever festivities you have planned tonight but don’t forget to be safe! Happy New Year’s Eve y’all! Let’s have a look at part 6! Without a doubt one of the sickest E36 M3s we’ve featured and without one of the dopest E36 M3 rear fitments that you’ll ever come across. How fitting considering this E36 is owned by none other than the boys of Urban Expressions Wheel & Tire (South Calgary). Check it out. iM Highlight: Urban X South’s BMW E36 [...]
