Cee's Honda S2000 Photoshoot

Finally went out with the guys - Prashant, JC, Punit, and Jackie to shoot Cee's S2000. At first when Jackie told me about Cee's S2k and showed me a quick BBM picture, I couldn't really see what was on it. But when he rolled in and I saw the volks and his exhaust with a nice drop, I was like damn!!! And I was just so pumped to shoot it. Turns out, the first photoshoot of the season turned out sick!

New illmotion decals!

Go over to the site and cop yours now!

ill.motion Decals: SOLD OUT

Man, we got the decals this afternoon.. I set up the store and put it up shortly thereafter. I was planning on doing my homework while it settles and to check it when I was done. Little did I know that within 5 minutes of putting the decals up, payments were already being received!

It's great to see the positive reaction and support for ill.motion. The one thing we're all about is trying to get the Calgary scene back up and running and to get everyone motivated again the way it used to be. So far so good! With the word of mouth and the dedication we all share, ill.motion will continue to grow. Thanks again for the support!

Here's a shot of the decals that we had. Keep watching for the new batch! Head over to ill.motion for the latest!

DETO's First Featured Car: 4UDREW S15 SILVIA

This is DETO's first featured car, which makes this special, but the story behind what the car stands for is really what makes this feature stand out. This J-spec RHD Nissan S15 Silvia is in memory Drew Panettieri.

Drew was passionate about racing just like you and me. In 2005, Drew bought and rebuilt a Nissan 240sx. With the help of his friends, Drew swapped out the stock power plant for the favored SR20 motor. Anyone that tunes motors knows how much of an accomplishment this can be, especially if it is your first motor swap.

By 2006, Drew had passed away due to a tragic motor cross accident at the age of 19. I came to meet the Panettieri family and Drew's friends that are a part of The Drew Panettieri Foundation and it is easy to tell that Drew was surrounded by love. The Drew Panettieri Foundation stands for what Drew stood for and loved.

Donations toward the foundation goes to raising money for the three charities that Drew was actively involved in: LaSalle College High School, The Mother of Sorrow Soup Kitchen and St. Vincent’s Soup Kitchen. The Silvia that serves as the foundation’s mascot could not be a better example of what a pristine S15 should look like. This car is immaculate in person and looks right out of the pages of an Option 2 magazine.

The car was purchased in Jacksonville, Florida and shipped to Doylestown, Pa where the Panettieri family resides. Since the purchase of the car, it has been upgraded with the following modifications:

APEXi Power FC Commander

740cc Injectors

HKS Turbo Kit

HKS Top Mount Turbo Manifold

GT3037

HKS Intercooler

ABS Delete / Adjustable Proportioning Valve

Koyo Radiator

Tomei Coil Pack Cover

Tomei Oil Cap

Nardi Steering Wheel

NRG Quick Release Hub

The 4 U Drew Silvia stands for a noble cause backed by good people. The proceeds go back to the community as well as maintain the Silvia that represents the memory of someone just like any of us who loved tuning cars with his friends. You may make a donation by sending a check made payable to:

ill.motion: The Beginning

It's funny how one thing can lead to another. Ryan messages me and asks me if I'm interested in a window banner for our homies and our cars. Of course I replied with "Hell yes" because I've been wanting one for so long.

I love that each of us has something that's able to give everyone else a step up. With the help of JC, he gave us the name he had back in highschool "ill.motion".

Next, comes the great help of Van and his design skills. I'm tellin' ya, the design skills of Van is second to none. After discussing with Punit, Ryan, Prashant and JC we all decided to add a crown at the corner. Again, Van steps it up and makes the crown with the letters "i" and "M". We decide on colors, and eventually end up with a full windshield banner.



So, next up is getting the banner printed.. we're printing off 10 first to get the show rolling and we'll see what comes next. We're probably going to be getting decals made too for those that don't want the banner.. and Van has already got a shirt in the works. Keep checking back, hopefully we'll have something up for grabs soon and some pictures of the real deal.
