iM: The Re-Up 2010 (Part 1)

iM: The Re-Up 2010 (Part 1)

‘March 2010.

8 friends got together and decided to start a Calgary based car crew. When deciding to use the name “illmotion”, it was only a matter of time that these 8 individuals would create a website to bring fellow car enthusiasts from all over the world together and see how cars are modified in Alberta, and Canada in general.’

With 2010 being a great year for illmotion and over 40 cars featured on the site, we would like to take this opportunity to recap all the cars we’ve featured and highlighted (with links provided of course) since we started illmotion (in no special order, keeping it random).

We would also like to thank the owners of these vehicles for taking the time to come out and do these photoshoots with us. For without the owners of these vehicles, there would be no “illmotion” nor most importantly, a scene in which we can all share this passion we have for modifying and tuning our vehicles.

March definitely does not seem that long ago, and since then we’ve garnered so much love and support from you guys that we can’t wait to get the 2011 season rolling.

Thank you all for a great year. Keep rockin’ with us in 2011 and best believe that bigger and better things are coming up in the new year!

Oh, and Happy Holidays fam!

On to the Re-Up…

|Owner: Romel Tenchavez
|Vehicle: 1985 Toyota Corolla GT-S Turbo

Nowadays, finding a non-rusted, non-bastardized AE86 is hard to find in Calgary. Well look no futher than Romel’s Zenki Turbo AE86 project. Rockin’ a fresh set of Dori-Doris and a Zenki front end (Zenki rear to be installed next year) Romel is on the right track in his pursuit for a one-off Zenki AE86.

|Owner: Steve Chan
|Vehicle: 2002 Acura RSX Type-S (DC5)

Steve was definitely on point when it came to modifying his 2002 Acura RSX Type-S. Sitting on a nice set of Advan RGs and sporting Mugen Aero, stay tuned next year to see what Steve has in store for his super clean DC5.

|Owner: Brad Atkins
|Vehicle: Honda Civic SiR (EM1)

SiRs are definitely hard to come by these days, but Brad’s unmistakable “VTEC spraying machine” will definitely snap your neck when he’s rollin’ through the city, or rippin’ it up at the track.

|Owner: Cee
|Vehicle: Honda S2000

Our very first (and unforgettable) ‘official’ illmotion feature, Cee’s S2000 was the definition of “Simplicity is Key”. The black exterior sitting on nicely fitted gun-metallic TE37s just sets it off! Well, it caught our attention anyways.
