Unfortunatly we only had time for 1 location but I think I got some good shots in haha…
Ray will post part 2 with his pics.
Till next time
Jeff
I was going through some shots that I had forgotten about in the past and I remembered a few weeks ago I stopped by Terence’s house to check out his S2k cause he had just finished slapping on all his things and was finally ready to drive. We also slapped on his J’s hood quickly and I took some quick snaps at his new bachelor pad. We’ll be going out with Terence soon to do a proper shoot with some better shots of all his new goodies.
Until then, check out some teaser shots.

Terence Wah’s S2000
This feature of Matt’s S2000 is photographed and written up by Jeff Chin.
Its starting to warm up, nice cars are finally coming out, photographers who have been hiding all winter are dusting off their equipment and here I am writing up my 1st feature on ill motion. I myself am excited whats in store for this season. This past weekend me and my buddy Raymond got the chance to photograph a good friend of ours; Matt’s Honda S2000.
“Honda’s were never really my thing” He replied…
“I’ve owned this car for a little over a year now, it’s the best car I’ve owned” He said.
This is out of the eleven cars he’s owned since he got his license. Nissan, Toyota and Mazda’s just can’t satisfy Matt’s hunger for the corners. Sure you may say there are faster cars … But theres more to it than outright speed.
Matt’s hoping to see more of the track this up and coming race season, it be Stratotech time attack events or the Race city circuit.
But enough with the small talk, Lets get straight to the photos.

Matt’s future plans are to do full suspension, refinish the rims, a carbon fiber hood and front splitter. But we all know that modifying a car isn’t ever “finished”.
Special thanks to Jason Hoang for the inspiration for the trailer pic.
And finally.. Repping illmotion! Thanks Matt!
Well I finally had the chance to go through the awesome photo shoot we had with Cee and pick out my favorites. As mentioned by Jason in the original feature post my pics are hopefully worth looking forward to!
Check them out below…
Keep www.illmotion.com bookmarked and check back often for lots of upcoming shoots!
Well, I’m happy to say that to start off the 2010 season, we were able to shoot a fresh new car that’s never really had a serious shoot. The crew went out and we hit up places and Cee was happy to go wherever we wanted him to – even off-road. It’s nice to have someone who is willing to go above and beyond for the photoshoots because that means we get great pictures.
Wheels/tires – 18×7.5/18×9 Gunmetal TE37’s, Kumho SPT’s, Rays extended lugs

Going through some old pictures from 09 track days and found this beaut. A snap of Jackie’s S2000 near the end of the day with the sun setting and he’s still one of the only ones out there. Thought you guys would all enjoy this pic
So simple yet so in your face aggressive.
Battleship grey paint, flat black concave CE’s, Voltex wing and what I’m told is the new Tamon Design’s widebody kit.
Near the end of the season last year we had the opportunity to shoot both Jackie’s S2000 and Dal’s K20 Type R together behind Speedtech. It’s not the ideal location, but the cars themselves make up for the lack of any type of backdrop you probably won’t even notice.
I will probably end up shooting Jackie’s S2000 again come this season with his new goodies, but for now.. this is how it sat before we closed 2009. In a way, I think we’re all trying to post up what we had for 2009 so that everyone can take a look at what we had and what we have coming. Think of them as fillers or teasers until Spring finally comes. Before you know it, you’ll be seeing sick rides all over ill.motion.
These two cars are the definition of balance and quality. You’ll begin to see a recurring theme with the cars we put on here – from the attention to detail the guys have to the expectation for nothing less than quality parts.
The build for these two cars has always pushed the envelope for the local guys in the tuning scene. You’re thinking of it? They’ve done it. Very rarely will you see a similar car because they strive to be different and by the time people have caught on, they’ve moved on. Keep checking back for updates during the spring of these two cars and what they have in store. It’s almost like free advertising!
Last summer Arif and I had the opportunity to shoot Terence’s S2000. There are plenty of s2000’s that are out there, but notably only a few stand out. Among them stands Terence’s.
After getting to know Terence and his car, he is a guy with attention to detail and taste. Function and form is his philosophy and very rarely will you see any mod on his car that won’t help him out on the track.
The reason for this feature is his plan for this season. Terence has big plans ready for 2010 and this will be the first place you’ll see it because I vow to be the first one to shoot it haha
They don’t call Terence the man with the God Hand for nothing. 2010 will be sure to prove this.
Yuuuuup!!!
If Nick Chow’s S2K had to be summed up in two words, those words would definitely have to be “form” and “function”. Inspired by the J’s Racing JGTC S2000, this whip was definitely built to murder the track. I could probably write a whole article on Nick’s AP1 but I think I’ll let the modifications list/pictures do the rest of the talking.
