ZERO STAGE MONSTER

Congrats to the Cusco Subaru Dunlop Impreza team in the GT300 class on their 3rd place win at the SuperGT this past weekend.

I’m excited to see how the Tsukuba HyperMeet turns out tomorrow. This event is famous for setting the standard for the years target track times at Tsukuba for Evos and Imprezas. I’m sure the regulars will show up, and especially the Arise/Prova Impreza.

I called it, Mazda released photos of the 2012 RX-9 and mentioned the 3-rotor wankel power engine.

My industry source says the price point will be around 70k, and the car will be hand built. It will be a sports coupe placed in the market segment up with the GT-R. It will compete as a lightweight RWD coupe as opposed to the AWD Grand Touring 2+2 monster.

Japans automotive industry rumor rag “BEST Car” usually has a good look into the near-future of Japans auto industry. Judging from the cover of the newest issue, they have an inkling that the new Mazda RX-8 will have a “big change” with their engine. With the rumors of the Le Mans inspired sport coupe in the works, I’ve got a feeling that both will debut with a new 3-Rotor wankel engine. I’ll put money on it.

Ignore the 2009 Silvia coverage shot on the cover, thats not what’s important… their photoshop work is not typically representative of final products.

Japanese tuner magazine REVSpeed has posted the results of the 18th annual Tsukuba “Super Battle” Time Attack (筑波スーパーバトル). Looks like the HKS CT230R wasn’t taking part because it was busy touring the world for its FANCY PUBLIC RELATIONS BATTLE pimping for HKS.

Some notable results from the attached image (Thanks to my JDM translation skiwlz):

1. 4WD: MSpeed GT-R R34
2. 4WD: TRIAL CT9A EVO
3. 4WD: Keiyo Jikou (京葉自工) GT-R R34
4. 4WD: Auto Gallery Yokohama GT-R R34
5. 4WD: Zerosports Impreza GDA

Its too bad the Arise/Prova/Tomei GDB and the HKS CT230R didn’t show up, I would’ve liked to see how they compared to the competition. More coverage can be found on Eiji “Tarzan” Yamadas’ blog here.

DENT Sport Garage released their fancy new demo video showcasing a few events from their 2007 racing season. Check it out!

Soon, you will see what all the FUSS IS ABOUT! We’d like to welcome Adam and his Car47 1971 Morris Mini 1000 b16a power’d project to ZSM.

We will have 2 (count it) 2 new members to ZSM.

Here is a quick preview of what will soon be a new member of the ZSM stable of fine automobiles! (CLICK THE IMAGE)

wHELP,

Its been almost a year, and we finally got our shit (most of it) together and updated the website.

Before we forget, lets recap whats happened since the last update!

• Kippy got his car into SCCA Club Racing, and competed in the T2 class!
• Alex got the Evo II into C16 Magazine!

• Bill took home 1st place in the RWD Unlimited Class in both 2006 and 2007 GT Live Time Attack Events!
• Alex took home numerous trophies at COM

I’d say that wasn’t too bad.

A NEW CHAPTER OF ZERO STAGE MONSTER BEGINS AGAIN!!!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT IS THIS SITE BADASS OR WHAT! I’VE BUSTED MY GOD DAMNED RUMP ON THIS SITE AND YOU BETTER FUCKING LOVE IT.

Okay so a few things aren’t working right like the fact that I haven’t actually hooked the update system up to a real PHP setup and the photos aren’t really the greatest and so on and so off but who really gives a shit this is all about Zero Stage Monster and taking it easy and getting a step ahead like it always has and always will be

It’s a new year, but BILL has made it into SPORT IMPORT CRAPBOX because his car is so fuckkin fast and all that stuff. Despite many glaring inconsistancies, I think we’re coming to terms with everything on how awesome Zero Stage Monster really is.

So welcome new visitors, Welcome all. ALL ARE WELCOME.
