iM: Vancouver DTP Roll Call!


Driven 2010

It’s that time again! Summer and nice weather is upon us and we are getting ready to see some sick rides come out again.

Unfortunately for the local 403 peeps, there won’t be a show in Calgary this year. While this is a big disappointment for us especially after our surprising turnout last year of both quantity and quality, we’d still love to have some kind of representation somewhere.

Luckily, we have our neighbors over in Vancouver holding DTP 2011 and we are going to make every effort we can to bring our show over there. With that said, we are holding a roll call for anybody who is willing to join us. We ask that anybody who has a car that they’ve put their blood, sweat and tears into to join us in making the cruise up and represent illmotion and surrounding areas.

Details are as follows…
All submissions please send to group7@illmotion.com
Include pictures, specs, and parts – something that will help you stand out from the rest.

The show will be taking place at
the Rocky Moutaineer Terminal
1755 Cottrell St
Vancouver, British Columbia V6A 2L8 (Rocky Mountaineer)

The show is on July 16th. Full details will be sent out to those who are attending with us.

The plan is to drive down on Friday the 15th and return on Monday the 18th.

You do not need to head up with the group, but remember that roll-in is on the day of the show, not the night before. Just be there for the morning of roll-in and we will set up then. Everybody will be responsible for their own accommodation – where you stay is up to you, however we can provide some recommendations.

SO, with that all said, if you are interested email us as group7@illmotion.com and we will review every submission onward. We will contact those that we’d like to have join us and provide you with more details as well. We want to thank everyone in advance that submits!

Hope to see everybody out there whether it is repping or supporting!

iM: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond Meet – May 11, 2011

Once again, we have our weekly beyond meet and it only continues to get bigger. This was my first time out this year and I have to say, it was nice to see so many legit cars coming out nowadays. Compared to last year, where we would see maybe 10-15 cars every week filling up one row, we’re getting to 4 and maybe even 5 rows some nights.

One thing I’d also like to say is that it seems that everyone has really stepped their game up over the last few seasons which is awesome to see. Nice parts, nicely kept cars, new things to see.. I think that’s what our car scene needs.

Lastly, like all of the posts we’ve had about the beyond meets.. We just want to stress that good behavior at the meets is expected. Last night was a good night for everybody minus the guys that think letting ‘er rip down the ramp is still cool. Let’s keep this up and make it a good time for everyone.

iM: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond Meet – May 4, 2011

Well, I’m glad we had a more behaved crowd last Wednesday. Also, it was nice to see a few of the Beyond ballers come out, as well as a few OGs. As well, the meets are getting pretty busy, which is good to see. Hope the trend continues!

iM: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond Meet – April 27, 2011

Here’s some pics from the 403 Honda/Beyond Meet from April 27, 2011. In my last meet blog entry, I re-iterated that we are privileged to be allowed to park at the Chinook Centre parkade and hang out every week, and would like everyone on their best behaviour so we can continue to be welcomed there. Unfortunately, a Beyond member decided to do just the opposite. The result: he was banned from Beyond.ca. We here at illmotion do not take this lightly either. Please behave.

iM Event Coverage

iM Event Coverage: ClubVeeDub x Fifth Avenue Auto Haus…

A few of us from the illmotion crew had an opportunity to check out ClubVeeDub’s 5th Annual “Close To Home” VW Show held at Fifth Avenue Auto Haus on Sunday May 1, 2011 here in Calgary.

The weather was beautiful as Volkswagen enthusiasts had an opportunity to get together (after a rough wintery start to spring), show off their veedubs and have family, friends and guests partake in contests and activities.

As we checked out everybody’s Volkswagens there is no doubt that the VW enthusiast community is very tight-knit. With Old Schoolers and New Schoolers enjoying each others company, and cars done up in every which way from form to function.
ClubVeeDub’s “Close To Home” Show definitely had something for everyone.

Enjoy the pics!

iM Highlight: Tamed JDM Beasts

Over the past few dreadful winter months, I have had the chance to talk to and get to know Cecilia. Cecilia had contacted me asking for a photoshoot for her Evo X and her husband Colin’s STi. Cecilia and Colin have owned their own fair share of different types of cars from a BMW 5 series to a Honda S2000.

The best thing about these two cars is although they are rivals, they compliment each other perfectly. Having both of these cars in the garage makes for an interesting combo. Cecilia and Colin may not be hardcore tuners that go for the slammed look or the huge turbo to put down 600hp, but they have kept modification subtle enough to be different, which is what we love.

Check out these two beastly whips

Cecilia’s EVO X
Rexpseed carbon fiber front splitter covers
JDM plate
Redlinegoods custom shift boot and arm rest cover
Rally Armor mudflaps
Custom rear spoiler deck
Perrin stubby antenna
RED Mitsubishi emblems

Colin’s STi
Invidia Q300 Catback
Invidia catted downpipe
COBB Stage 2 with custom LightSpeed map
High flow drop in filter
Red tail light overlays
Hella supertones

The two rolling side by side.

Together… at last?
