The poll was simple, what cars do YOU feel are the most influential, iconic, memorable, drift cars of all time. This was asked to ZipTied forum members, then we all gave our suggestions for a few days until we had a list of 50 cars. Once this was figured out, we started voting. We let it run for a week, and these were the results, (with the number of votes to the right).

Ok, so we need some fresh meat to make fun of, think you can hack it?

Think you can contribute to the #1 drifting forum in the world? 

Nothing has changed from the past, you still need to post up an app, and have a current member invite you. The rest can be read HERE

so.. i temporarily retired from drifting. Since I live in Okinawa, i can’t really drift like I want so owning a car for it is a waste of money. So I picked up this Honda SMX and put aero and wheels on it. It’s fun, great on gas, and seats fold down to make a bed…. yeah.. i know. Oh and.. next year, looks like I will be moving to Korea for 1 year, then back to Tokyo!!! Thats all for now.. I’ll be on my bike. Maybe I can get some other ZipTied members to update this main page every once in a while….

oh never mind my friend showing off, blocking the shot

That’s right, Beer Troll is officially famous!

Somehow she popped up in a photo shop contest on ebaumsworld (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/view/280427/).

Our very own Massimo has an interesting place in his neighborhood. It’s called Ferrari. He went there just for us and took some pics.

My favorite.

Been a lot of chatter amongst ZT regarding this display of the after burners by our good pal Massimo…

You can’t hear him (duh it’s a picture) but, there are recordings of him shouting “Sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of how awesome I am” the moment this picture was snapped… and yea, well, he is…

OK, My cars new look has been mentioned in a bunch of posts here on ZipTied, and I just wanted to throw up some new pics, and give you guys an idea of what we went through to get this thing done.

So my car was dying in ATL FD, and basically dead in WV FD,(about 40PSI compression), so i had planned to yank the motor, and rebuild it while the car was in paint, we had about 3weeks plus assuming our cross country trip went as planned. It didn’t, our truck blew up in new mexico on the way to cali, and we were able to get the trailer towed (thanks chris) and the truck towed to PHX, so while we were scrambling to get this all done my time for motor/tune/paint was dwindling. I wasted about 6 days in AZ, trying to figure our rig getting fixed, and finding a way to get my car to cali. We wound up borrowing Jiinkzs truck and one car trailer, i dragged my car to SR motorcars with jiinkzs truck on thursday, 2 and a half weeks before we had to leave for FD….arrived at Snakebite at 4am, woke up, got to SR by 11, pulled the motor out by about 3pm (by myself, and on the ground), ran the car over to the paint shop, and begged them to get the car painted in time. This was the only possible time to get it done, and i’d promised them 3 weeks, and wound up giving them about 10 days.
