iM: Random Pics

Lately, a lot of cars have been popping up that are just so dope that either or peeps have found and posted on our facebook wall or emailed us and why wouldn’t we post them?
This Si owned by Josue and pics taken by KameraBoy from southernfresh.com is too dope. Thanks Josue for rocking our decal and KameraBoy for taking some fresh pics.

iM Random Snaps: Corey’s Rollin’ Civic

Here’s one of many shots taken of Corey’s Civic on an extremely productive day. When this shot was taken the team had 3 photoshoots going on at the same time including some random shots of various cars such as this one.

Look forward to the ‘Features’ & ‘Highlights’ of those 3 photoshoots mentioned above as they will be coming soon and you won’t want to miss them!

iM: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca Chinook Meet – Oct. 27/10

Even though it was freezing out, I went out to the weekly 403 Honda/Beyond Meet at Chinook Centre. For those that don’t know, these meets are held every Wednesday night at the top level of the Chinook Centre rear parkade. I encourage everyone to try to come out and support your local meets, since they help keep our car community alive and motivated.

I tried my best to get some decent pictures with the crappy lighting (or lack of), and my frozen fingers in the 0 degree Celsius night.













I’ll be out again with the camera this week, so come out if you can. It’s forecasted to be 10+ degrees that day, so it should be a bit warmer than the last one. Who knows, maybe we’re looking for our next features while we’re out there! 😉

iM Highlight: Chris Chan’s 2007 Honda Civic Si

With “simple and effective” being a key note lately here on illmotion, I’d like to draw your attention to Chris Chan’s 2007 Honda Civic Si. When I first saw Chris’s Si via Corey’s coverage of Beyond.ca’s 2010 Summer Cruise, the dope stance and the entire vehicle being wrapped in Flat Black Vinyl immediately caught my eye.

Upon meeting Chris, I had asked him where he got the work done and his reply was something I didn’t expect, which made me appreciate the car even more: “My girlfriend (Samantha) and I worked on it ourselves”.

In this day and age where more and more people look to shops to perform tinting and vinyl work, it’s “Do-It-Yourself-ers” like Chris who you gotta give mad props and appreciation for. I mean, just think of the time, patience, and effort Chris and Samantha put in to complete this vinyl wrapping project!

In addition to (and amazed at) what Chris and Samantha accomplished here, his decision to go with an aggressive wheel and suspension set up definitely compliment this Civic’s overall form, and this is only the beginning for Chris’s Si…

More pics after the jump.

iM: Weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca Chinook Meet – Oct. 20/10

With the season winding down and the threat of snow looming, the weekly Wednesday night 403 Honda/Beyond.ca meets are getting quieter and quieter. Not many people show up this time of year due to it getting dark out earlier, and getting cold out. But a few people still go. Took my camera and tripod with me to possibly get some practice on something that I’ve been dreading doing because of my epic failures on previous attempts: low light photography.


I guess my pics came out ok, was messing with the settings all over the place, and got some results that I was happy with. And some nice cars showed up tonight too, so I was happy.

Thirsty?

Being a former Tacoma owner, I still have love for them:

But then I went in for a closer look… DAMN!!!


Only driver in the whole parking lot that couldn’t see the lines. It wasn’t that dark, was it?


In so much love with this Audi with the Benz wheels:

And to finish off, a self-gratifying shot of my car with the preview of how it’ll roll next season… cause I’ve never had a semi-decent stance before!

Oh crap, I almost forgot about a couple cars. Not really important cars, almost didn’t put them up.

But I did anyways since its rare that these two Beyond.ca members would show up.

rage2’s Mercedes Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series:


JordanLotoski’s Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera:


OK, now I’m done.

More hard reppers

Derek Covington reppin’ on his S2000

And Matt Nicholls with his FA5.

Thanks again for the support guys! We’re heading into winter now, so hopefully all of you have some sick plans for next season and we’ll be out and about shooting all your shit again!

Video: My Civic

Here’s a dope video from Lars down in the Netherlands reppin’ illmotion. Once again, props to them for rockin’ it hard over there. Thanks to Laurens for sharing this.

iM: Speedtech August Track Day

Speedtech hosted their first track day of the year today, unfortunately I wasn’t able to participate this time around so it gave me plenty of time to snap pics. Sorry I missed lots (most) cars but the battery died pretty early, opps. Perhaps some of the other guys that were shooting have some more pics.

Some more of Jason’s Civic, which BTW looks so good on the track.

Getting closer and closer to the wall haha.

I could snap pics of this car all day long….

Next up we have Gang-star-Dee’s Spoon S2000. By far the best sounding car on the track today.

Dal’s K20 ITR…. which pulled on most other cars hard!

Clean STI

Black AP2 rolling on some really nice Advan’s

J’s S2000, I think this was the comtech supercharged one (too many S2’s on the track to keep track of ha!)

Jamie’s S2000 was up on jacks for most of the day…. he fried his pads before I even arrived haha. Anyways he ended up changing them up in the pits and got back out there before the end of the day. You will be seeing more of this car soon.

Really fast 135i…. like really fast!

EK Civic hatch

8th gen Civic coupe

And one last shot of us contracting west nile just to bring you coverage haha.
