Words & Snaps By: Richard Kratz I met Brad for the first time back in August when I hitched a ride with him down to Calgary for the Sunday School Show and Shine. Having just moved to Edmonton and really not having a clue about the scene here, Brad filled me in on events and local tracks. It was pretty obvious to me that this guy loves motorsports that and he drove 10 hours flat out to Seattle for Formula D. This Carbon Silver Z definitely stands out on the roads with style in mind. It sits on 19″ transparent [...]
iM Feature: Kevin Wong’s 2008 Acura CSX Type-S
Kevin Wong, an admitted Honda fanboy, is no stranger to the JDM movement. He has owned an EP3 SiR that followed the Type R guidelines with Work wheels, JDM Recaros etc. Unfortunately this EP3 would be the victim of an unfortunate and career ending accident and with all motivation lost to put his car back on the road. Kevin looked on to the newest generation Civic at the time, and in the end he would go with the CSX Type-S. Honda Japan actually used the Canadian designed CSX for their template of the JDM Civic and shares some of the [...]
iM: The Re-Up 2012 (Driven)
Without a doubt one of the biggest events for illmotion this year was Driven 2012. With Driven 2012 coming back to Calgary for the first time since 2010 we wanted to show the city what we’ve been up to the past 2 years since Driven’s absence. A big thank you once again to our friends Naomi Sayo and Steph Ly for coming out and kicking it with us, and thank you to all the homies who came out and repped with us! Not only was this a great day for the car community to chill under one roof, but sales [...]

Let’s keep things moving!!! Something we usually don’t highlight here on illmotion are Sport Utility vehicles and as much as we’d like to, it’s rare that we can stumble across ones that can make us look twice. There are definitely some SUVs however, that stand out and we just have to share with you all, and this one is a Mercedes G500 Wagon owned by Almond! [...]
