Being that spring is upon us I decided to install my TRD Rear Sway Bar on the XRS. Install was a bit confusing at first but eventually the new sway bar was put in! This install definitely put me in the mood for this season! Until next install, folks!
Shout out to Prashant, Punit, and Gopesh for kickin’ it with my Father and I during the install!
Since we started ill.motion, the driving force behind us was to be able to pump up and revive the Calgary scene to motivate any kind of tuner to do up their cars in the freshest way and to the best of their ability. One of our aspirations was to get our name out there simply to be heard – so that ill.motion is not known as just a group of people that came up with a cool name and some fancy logo and for people to rock ill.motion cause it means something, not because it’s just cool to.
In order for this to happen, we need to create bridges and new connections with people around the world to show what we’re all about. That’s what ill.motion has grown from, and by continuing to make these connections through friends, local tuners, international tuners and bloggers, we’ll continue to grow. I personally feel that by having the inspiration from others to move forward in what we love to do most, we all grow as a result.
With that said, I’d like to introduce Stance Nation. Elvis Skender contacted me after seeing our site and asked to exchange links, in which I did not hesitate to accept.
Stance Nation, similar to most of us, is into exposing the freshest scene. Whatever’s hot gets exposed. Stance is one of these things that have come into the tuner scene and is booming like no tomorrow. Go and check them out
Along with that, I’d like to introduce Elvis’s SICK Dodge Charger SRT-8. His wheels – Viper Reproductions in 22×10 +22 all around wrapped in 265/30’s is the best part of this car. Very rarely will you see a domestic slammed and flush as hell. For that, he goes down in my books for one of the sickest and cleanest domestics.

Here’s another local supporting the movement! An FA5 that will be doing a JDM CTR front end conversion. Should be good! Hopefully we’ll have more pics when that’s done this summer! Until then.. long live ill.motion!
Our first project of summer is a success! Aside from some rubbing which is perfectly normal when you lower a GTI the install was fun and the results impressive.
Judge for yourself…

Stay tuned for an upcoming photo shoot with this beast!
Since our first batch has gone out, people are slowly slapping them on their cars and snapping pics. For the millionth time, we appreciate the support from all of you and we’d like for you to post pictures on the facebook fan page of your ride with the sticker so that we can post it up on the site. Even if you don’t have the sticker, post your ride anyway!
