That’s right, Beer Troll is officially famous!

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.

Peak performance motormounts for SR20DET is finally here. CNC aluminum with high quality polyurethane bushings. Comes with extra poly bushings. You can choose from “street” and “race”. Please note that even the “street” is going to be much stiffer than stock.

First thing we noticed was 1 piece carrier, which means better fitment and tolerances. The paint on the carrier looked to be high quality, which means years of durability. The motormounts come with stainless steel nylon lock nuts to replace your old rusty nuts.

Even though it comes with extra poly bushings, changing these suckers out is not easy. You’ll need to have a press or He-Man power.

Installation on the motor is pretty simple, left one goes on the left side… right one…you get the idea. If you’re replacing the mounts with the motor in, we recommend undoing the tranny mount to give more movement. Little bit more difficult compared to stock mounts but if you take your time it’s not too bad. Expect 2-3 hours to install these with proper tools.

We installed these on our S13 with the Peak tranny mounts. We noticed very solid shift feel and shifter engaged very crisp. Shifter stays solid now, no more shifter that flops around. Visibly when we were revving the motor, you can hardly see the motor twist under revs anymore. Less twisting means less stress on the piping couplers, exhaust, turbo, manifold, you name it. You’ll feel more vibrations at idle but our driver thought is was rather soothing?! ((^^)) The vibrations aren’t too noticeable at cruising or under revs. Must have upgrade!

So I just got back from watching 300 on the opening night, and it’s almost 3am. That means that I’m in the kind of shape any professional and very serious movie reviewer such as myself should be in.

Lets start it off with a breakdown of the GOOD things that this movie has going for it: -boobs -violence -2 elephants fell off a cliff, and one hit his head on the way down LOL! -computer stuff -dudes yelling about shit

and EVERY movie has at least something for me to complain about, this one had the following: -politics -awkward boobs that had gold shit around them -people getting their heads chopped off

Dreamhost is the webhoster we were using for our media files.

FACT:

They have horrible service, slow and vauge responces to tech issues, and shady business ethics.

We JUST renewed our service for another year LAST WEEK, and then this week they shut us down for hosting a file that has been on the server for nearly a year. Their data transfer speeds have been getting gradually slower and slower over the last few months, and their own cPanel software can not even accurately track the bandwidth and disk storage space used.  They don’t want to refund our payment either.

So, im calling all ZipTied readers, members, and lurkers, spread the word, FUCK DREAMHOST!!!! ~Mike
