This past weekend while driving through New Hope I passed this old car dealership and caught a glimpse of what i thought looked like a first gen Toyota Celica. They’re pretty rare, so I wanted to go check it out. After a closer look, I realized that it was an Opel by its unmistakable lightning bolt badge. Some of you might not appreciate a car like this, but I love the odd and more rare cars such as this one. This was Opel’s answer to Ford’s Capri back in the 70’s and was exclusively sold through Buick Dealerships being owned by GM.

illmotion stickers sold out!

Once again, you guys have gone crazy with the stickers and we’re sold out not even a week later. It’s tough to keep up with you guys.

We want to be able to roll out a limited quantity of stickers in a certain color, which is why we run out so quick. We only make batches of 50 or so and when they’re gone.. they’re gone! Many people have been asking if the OG teal will be made again and as of now, we probably won’t be making it anytime soon. So for those of you that do have the OG teal, consider yourselves lucky!

We will have a poll up soon to decide the next color of stickers. In the meantime, Driven is coming up and for those that are local and are participating in the show know the rush we’re all going through to prepare our cars in time, to get those last parts in and installed, have everything look pretty and such and that’s the same thing we’re going through now. More news about Driven and illmotion will be up soon!

Thanks again for the support guys!

Spoon CRZ – Part 2

Surfing the web and stumbled on these new Spoon CRZ pics….. not sure how I’m going to resist the urge once they finally arrive in Canada. Haha. Maybe it will be the new daily.

Hope everyones not sick of all the CRZ posts…. but I personally can’t get enough of it.

iM Feature: Steve Poyntz’s 1992 Toyota Cressida

Along with Benny’s AE86 we also had the opportunity to shoot Steve’s 1992 Toyota Cressida.

For the locals who know Steve, you’ve probably seen his widebody AE86 (feature coming soon on illmotion) and his Cressida is another one of his whips that is not to be ignored. The thing I love the most about this vehicle is its functionality. It has the convenience of 4 doors and the power is definitely there when you need it. It’s quiet too!

Rocking a 2JZGTE from a 1994 Toyota Aristo and a matte black exterior, this Cressida will definitely have you looking twice.

Mine’s ECU!!!

The first burnout everyone has been anticipating (especially Steve and Mike) since they swapped the 2JZ

A second try..

And finally, the aftermath of 2JZ power =D

iM: Justin’s slammed EG hatch

In addition to Corey’s car we also shot Justin’s uber-slammed EG hatch. He’s rolling on new wheels this season….. a rare set of 15″, 5 lug Regamaster EVO’s. Sick!

Yo dude, will it fit…. yea man pull up closer. Haha! For the record it did not fit.

This picture was posted online a couple years ago and someone dubbed it “classic” for whatever reason haha.

So we shot a 2010 version…. classic part II.

Peace out!

iM: Corey’s 2010 Transformation Almost Complete

Well most of the new parts for 2010 are on. There are a couple more items to go but it was the first nice weekend of the year so I wanted to get some pics.

Thanks to Ryan for the photos. Anyways, enjoy…

Interior is almost done. Still waiting for the rear headrests.

Semi-dumped haha.

New RR style hood.

EP3 & EG part II coming soon…..
