iM: The Re-Up 2013 (Part 2)

Going to keep things rolling with Part 2 of our Re-Up 2013 series…

Without a doubt one of the most influential features we’ve done here on illmotion come from the crew over at PoorForm. To back up that last sentence two members from illmotion even went as far as switching up their projects and going in the direction of VIP/Lexus modding. Definitely stay tuned for more from PoorForm later on this year!


iM Highlight: Poorform Lexus LSs

Another first on illmotion comes from Devon Mori and a dual feature of his Honda Civic EG6 and Honda CBR600RR. With both of Devon’s means of transportation painted the same color, seeing both his car and bike in motion for the rolling shot was definitely an awesome moment!

illmotion’s own Prashant Topiwala surprised most of us this year when he sold this car, a 2010 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. While most of us can’t wait to see what Prashant has in store for next season, we’re pretty sure Prashant will regret getting rid of this once he looks at pictures from this feature again. Let’s take a moment to remember Prashant’s C63 AMG, shall we?

One of the very first “official” shoots of the season was Andy’s Mint Green Nissan Skyline GT-R R32. We had the pleasure of being able to shoot this car earlier on in the year as this car went on to become one of the biggest internet sensations of 2013. Doing his own thing and not paying attention to the negativity of others definitely got everyone talking about Andy and his GT-R.

Photographer Taylor Smith blessed us once again last year with another clean Euro in the form of Lani’s MK4 Jetta VR6. Rocking the super rare original Votex kit from Volkswagen and sitting on BBS CH Wheels, let’s revisit Lani’s immaculate MK4 Jetta.

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

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 this nature?

The answer is quite simple: “Just enough.”

Being the second owner of this particular C63, the previous owner had aesthetic modifications performed on the car, such as window tint and matte black vinyl covering entire vehicle. The rest however, was left in the hands of Prashant. The first order of business, MORE POWER. Implementing a Eurocharged v3 tune, Prashant’s C63 boasts an estimated 400whp.

Packing plenty of power under the hood, Prashant was more than satisfied in the performance department and felt it was time to upgrade the suspension, wheels and tires. The recipe? The addition of H&R Sport Springs and a modestly fitted set of Volk G25s wrapped in Hankook Ventus V12 rubber. Prashant’s “Just Enough” mentality is perfectly portrayed throughout the entire vehicle and quite fittingly adds to the finesse, style and grace that Mercedes-Benz is all about.

By owning a vehicle that seems virtually perfect straight from the factory, we gotta hand it to Prashant for implementing his own personal touches to a car of this stature. Subtle modifications can certainly go a long way, and it’s evident in Prashant’s C63 AMG. Have a look for yourself and you will see exactly how Prashant maintains that world renowned Mercedes class, with “just enough” style.

iM Random Snaps: It’s Always A Good Time

Whoa oh oh, oh oh oh!

ANYWAYS! With the hustle and bustle of the crew trying to get as much photo shoots done as possible before the winter hits, it feels as though that’s all we’ve been focusing on as of late, and have lost touch with what the automotive “scene” is all about for us: having a good time.

Since the summer season started, we’ve been very busy with organizing for Driven, Sunday School, and other small events here and there. One Saturday night we figured it would be nice to just kick back, and enjoy a few burgers and shakes at Peter’s Drive-In. With great company on hand, we figured it wouldn’t be “illmotion” without a few photos of the homies who came out with us on this lovely evening.

Check out a few pics of our Saturday night and look forward to many more photos like this, because in the end it really is, always a good time!

iM Event Coverage: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca Meet – September…

The month of September is upon us, which pretty much signals the end of the summer, the start of fall, and impending coming of a automotive enthusiasts least favorite season: winter. You can feel it getting colder and colder here in the evening and night, but that still will not stop a bunch of people from showing up to the weekly meets. Grabbed a few pictures while we were at it, please excuse some of the quality, it was getting quite dark very quickly.

Enjoy, and see you next week!











And then there is this: a Honda S2000 with an Amuse wide body kit. I first saw it at night a few days ago, and words cannot do justice to how well this car looks. The owner has been without this car all summer while it was being completed, and gets it back with a little bit of time left to enjoy it, so I had to post a few pictures of it.


iM Event Coverage: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca Meet – August…

Had a chance to attend the weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca meet on Wednesday. Hopefully you guys continue to come out and hang out while the weather is still decent. And speaking of which, watch out for the announcement coming very soon of the annual Beyond.ca SuperMeat!

Here are a few of the pics we caught, more pics can be found on our Flickr page: HERE











And last one, just because it was apparently a weight reduction mod performed by the owners significant other. Headlight glass is useless and is way too heavy:

See you guys on Wednesday!

iM Event Coverage: Auto Union 2012

On Sunday August 19, 2012, A few of us from the crew made it out to Red Deer, Alberta to check out the Auto Union 2012 Show. Luckily, we were able to catch the last little bit of the show and from what we saw, the cars that attended were definitely suited up for the event. The Auto Union show attracted a pretty decent turn out with some top notch cars of various makes and models. We hope this show happens and again next year and hopefully we are there to participate at the event and of course stay for a longer period of time!

We hope you enjoy a few snaps that we managed to get JUST before the show ended!

On to the pics…

iM Highlight: Almond’s Mercedes-Benz G500

We don’t really get to highlight enough of these types of vehicles, but when we do it’s usually a Sport Utility Vehicle that everyone can appreciate. For those who remember Almond and his Dinan chipped BMW 335i (Feature can be found: HERE), then there’s no need to hype his Mercedes-Benz G500 Wagon.

Before we get to the G-Wagon though, Almond did in fact surprise us a little this year with an update on his 335i. Since his last feature, Almond ditched the Work XSA-02Cs and is now rocking one of the greatest wheels of all time, a set of 19″ BBS LMs, which we did manage to get a few shots of as well.

On to the Mercedes G-Wagon, Almond doesn’t disappoint as his Military inspired SUV sits on an uber clean set of 22″ Claus Ettensberger Corporation (CEC) C856 wheels! With an SUV built to look good in both the winter and the summer season we just gotta wonder how Almond chooses between these two toys.

On to the pics…

iM Event Coverage: Luxury / Exotic Cruise For a…

This past weekend we attended the 2nd Annual Luxury / Exotic Cruise For a Cause set up by local realtor Jordan Lotoski. About 30 cars came out and raised nearly $2500 for the Kelm family who has 3 children all who are affected by Fragile X Syndrome. After a quick meet in the morning at Distinctive Collection the cruise began, and as you can imagine with this group of cars it turned lots of heads as we cruised out to Banff Springs Hotel for brunch. This was a great event to take part in and thanks to everyone efforts in organizing it, can’t wait for next year.
