This past Sunday (June 17th, 2012) a few of us from the crew got a chance to head down and check out the first Revwerks Auto-X event, “Sideways Sunday” which was held at the rear parking lot of Cross Iron Hills Mall. With no track available to drivers in the city of Calgary, the amount of cars that participated in this event was quite impressive and it definitely pointed out the fact that Calgary’s motorsports scene is not going anywhere. Check out a few pics from the event (which also showcased a few whips in the parking lot) and stay tuned for more details on another Sideways Sunday event brought to you by Revwerks in the near future! A big shout out going out to Revwerks and their staff for putting this on for Calgary’s driving enthusiasts. Enjoy the pics!
A few pics from the parking lot/parked inside the course…
We unfortunately missed this in action, but it was still dope to see.
Without a doubt, there is nothing that will ever be stronger than the bond between members within a family. This is especially true when it comes to loyalty amongst siblings. Even over time as siblings grow apart and go about their separate ways in life, the level of respect and trust that is created by brothers and sisters will simply never be broken.
Staying true to the sibling tradition are Allan and Raymon Calagui. Being exposed to everything and anything car related since they were young, both Allan and Ray were always on the same page when it came to building a project car; Form and Function. Neither Form nor Function is compromised when it came to any of the Calagui Brothers’ projects. Because of this “all out” attitude that the Calagui’s possess, any of the builds created by Allan or Ray have always been known to have a timeless and classic touch to them.
Keeping it real with the family state of mind, Ray and Allan looked to the BMW family with their latest projects. Allan, with a 2008 BMW 335i Sedan and Ray, with a 2011 BMW 335xi Coupe. With both cars carrying incredible performance out of the box, it’s no wonder the Calagui brothers chose these BMWs as their platforms, both filled with tons of potential.
Performance playing a major factor on both vehicles, Allan unleashes his 335i Sedan with a Stage 3 tune and a methanol injection kit. Add a full Active Autowerkes exhaust and AR Design 3″ catless downpipes and this is one Sedan that maintains a classy exterior while it leaves others in the dust, if need be.
Ray looks to none other than BMW Performance (Exhaust) and an AR Design 4″ catless down pipe to get his 335xi Coupe intimidating any stock M3 that pulls up next to it. Complete with a BMS N55 Stage 2 tune and Methanol Injection Kit mounted in the trunk, this is definitely one 335xi Coupe that will give any M3 a run for it’s money.
Exterior wise, both vehicles maintain signature BMW aesthetics with a few BMW Performance add-ons giving each vehicle a little more whip appeal to anyone who lays their eyes upon the Coupe or the Sedan.
What arguably makes this 335i Sedan and 335xi Coupe stand out from other BMWs on the road, is the stance and wheel game showcased on both vehicles. Allan’s Sedan rocks an uber classy set of Work Euroline XRs, while Ray’s Coupe slays with a custom made set of Work’s timeless wheel, a gold set of VS-XXs.
With both vehicles participating in the stance game, while at the same time putting down plenty of power, anyone who ever thought that form and function could never be part of the same family, can re-think the whole process. Just have a look at the Calagui Brothers’ BMWs, and you’ll see why.

With so many nice cars this year at driven it’s tough to get coverage of everything, but here is one last post to wrap up our coverage. We hope everyone had fun at the show this year, it was a huge success and we can’t wait for Driven 2013.

Part III our Driven coverage with the rest of the show. We know a lot of you guys have been waiting to see the rest of the pics, so instead of splitting them up further – here’s another big one coming at ya!
Definitely one of the best cars of the show. So clean and perfect.
Round 2. The same booth. The same cars. Except with two girls!
We just wanted to thank Naomi and Steph for joining us in our booth all day last Saturday! You guys were awesome.
Anyways – don’t think anyone will read this anyway, so onto the pics!
And we’ll give you guys a break..
I wish we got the name of this guy, and if you’re reading this – let us know! He came and showed us his slammed skateboard that he wanted to put our new decal on. Thought this was dope as hell! Thanks man!
Our table – thank you to everyone that came by and supported us!
Our table!
Peeps coming to stop by to say hi to the girls and check out some illmotion shizz.
Well the day we had all been waiting for is done and gone with a blink of an eye. The show was a huge success and there were a ton of nice cars that have gone through so many changes over the last year and some that are relatively familiar that had gone through a refreshing switch up as well. We were proud to be a part of it and we were happy to see everyone that got the chance to stop by the booth!
So, to kick off part 1 – we’ll start off with our booth. First off, we want to give a huge thanks to everybody that joined us this year and we wouldn’t have had the booth we did without you guys, and of course, we wouldn’t have been able to take home the best team award either! Congratulations to everybody that took home awards as well – each one was well deserved.
Warning – lots of pictures for you guys to see. Tomorrow, we’ll post the girls – Naomi and Steph! Stay tuned!

It’s that time again – with Driven making its return to Calgary after being absent last year, there’s nothing more exciting than coming together again at the Olympic Oval.
In 2010 – illmotion debuted and came out with a bang and we’ve only been growing since then. We’re happy to say that we’re coming back and we want all of you to come by and check it out! We’ve got our lovely friends Naomi Sayo and Steph Ly to accompany us in our booth, so you’ll definitely want to come say hi to them and get some goodies. We’ve got a bunch of new decals and colorways, including our new logo you might’ve seen on the Sunday School poster. For those of you that wanted a lanyard and never got one – we’ll have a few left for you guys to grab, and finally – some new illmotion carabiners we’ll release the day of the show!
We’re also happy to announce that we’ve chosen to support The Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation once again. So on Saturday, when you purchase any of our items you’ll also be helping out all the kids out there that deserve to live the life every child should. So, help us help the kids – proceeds from Saturday will go straight to them!
*PS – this Friday, we will be holding a draw for a pair of FREE Driven tickets on Facebook. All you have to do is head to our page and “Like” the Driven post and we will announce the winner Friday morning.
The countdown is on, and we know it’s going to be an awesome show. Come by and say hi!
illmotion will be back for our second annual Sunday School Show & Shine on Sunday August 5th. Be sure to stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.
Here is our continuation of yesterday coverage of Stretch & Poke Fited Showcase. More of the same, a large variety of quality cars to suit everyones tasks. Enjoy.
