First off, i'd like to say thanks to everyone that participated in this poll whether by voting, helping me create categories, or nominating your fellow zenki owners. This was all fun and was definitely a learning experience for me. I'm glad that people in this thread voted and stated they had fun picking through the choices! This gives me roughly 365 days to figure out how to effectively make a poll for 2011 haha. I am working on trying to get the "winners" a little something (still in the works though).

If you just want to view the results, CLICK the banner below and the 1st and 2nd place finishers in each category with pictures and a little excerpt from me about them!

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW THE READJUSTMENT WORKED, READ BELOW THE BANNER.

Anyways alot of you asked / PMed me about how or what readjusting votes meant. Basically the readjustment of votes was to try and decrease the amount of duplicate votes (votes coming from the same computer) thus increasing the fairness. I know the software was limited in its capabilities, but I tried to make it work.

So, pretty during the end of the second day, i had noticed alot of votes being cast....many times a certain nominee would get 20+ votes within a 5 minute period. Now, i the software/website DOES log I.P addresses , but not very effectively, so i made the decisions that :

1. votes on the first day take priority over the second day....meaning:

• a. On the second day if there were X number of votes in quick succession i would pause (not count) all the subsequent votes.
• b. On the first day if there were any votes in quick sucession for the same person (i did not cancel them) because i make the assumption that people were freshly hearing about the poll

2. I did not look at the results during this process so i did not now how many votes people were ahead or behind...i simply did the readjustment

3. After all duplicate votes were noted, I took screenshots of the results at around 11:00pm (1 hour before polls expired) . I did not think any of the polls would drasticallly change. It's crazy how the "Had it all" category had a tie for 1st place AND 2nd place.....

an example of MANY votes in quick succession is shown below and how i delt with it. There IS a possible error of some people may have voted for a person during a string of many consecutive votes, but all in all after looking at the detailed poll analysis i think my method did not contain a high potential for error. That is pretty much how the readjustment went....alot of people "lost" votes....including myself.

HERE ARE RESULTS:

Most "Pro Zenki"

Recently after talking to him about the upcoming 2011 season , I think yal will love his 2011 look.... or you'll complain about it on the internet.... There is some irony to the results of this category.

1. Matt Powers


2. Rocket Bunny Guy from UK.


The "Had it All" Award

Although he's a nameless bloke on zilvia, it was one of the cars that I was literally did not want to believe was parted =(. Sadly Rich , my doppleganger of old, sold his car ONLY to learn that the new owner crashed it... ALL the nominees will be missed dearly.

1-t. Red NZ Car


1-t. Yingiang


2-t. John Kim


2-t. 240sxdriftin


The "Low Zenki" Award:

Miggy's car makes me want to call protective services on the beatings he gives his axles. I really can't comprehend how he can drive anywhere. Dave Hamburglar's car is another one of those cars which if any lower, would be subterranean.

1. Miggy


2. Fckillerbee


The "Coveted Stock Body" Award:

Ash's car has really one of THE finest examples of a stock bodied zenki that I think exists. Despite the kouki wing, he's stayed true to zenki styling with the navan, sides, and tails. Not only that, but those vs-xx he has are simply money...love the fitment, love the lip and offset choices. With the whitecarfromTX, the wheels overpower the amount of neg camber and just make it work (no pun intended).

1. Smashed


2. WhiteCarfromTXonEurolineSls


The "Daily Driven" Award:

I with we had florida weather here in MD, so i could daily my car, but putting a lot of miles on cars is cool to me, as i commuted 60+ miles a day during college. Street time > Seat time (Soapgun).

1. s14fbs


2. vas570sx


The "Aftermarket Body" Award:

I appreciate people nominating me for a category and all the kind words people have for me on the interwebz and in real life (sometimes). As for me, i dont think my car is that special. On the other hand Daniel Ressa is really doing zenki owner's proud with his styling. He has alot of quality parts, puts time in piecing them together!

1. Nathanong87


2. Icedsole


The "Wheel Setup" Award:

0. Smashed (winner of the "stock body" award)

Officially by total votes, Ash also won the wheel setup award as well, but as per the nathan-spec rules, no one can win two categories. Here is another testament to Daniel's car in which his car's overall stance and wheel choice is impeccable. Dan An's, fitment is something you need to see in person.... it's one of those "WTF" moments that you have haha.

1. Icedsole


2. 99maxgtr


The "Grass Roots" Award:

I've followed the stuntman-o build thread on ZT and there is no question that the car has been built well. I think he's pulled off a somewhat tough aero choice and has can drive the piss out of that car. Not to mention his crash video was soo cool because of how calm he was when going through a fence! Sil-014 hails from Newstrailia and proves to us all that you can drive nice* cars on track!

1. Stuntman


2. Sil-014


The "Most anticipated" Award:

I had nominated slideways2004 because of blog lurking essence garage and seeing this cool project that was in the works in TX. Hopefully 2011 will be a big year and the motor shown here will be put to good use! Mark had a pretty big year in 2010 reviving the s14 and teasing the country with his rocket bunny front view pictures. I think it's easy to say that anything he does is anticipated simply because he's fatlace mark.

anyone running 17x10s all around with +25 offset? seeing if it will clear the coilovers or if i need to run spacers. also what size tires should i run?

[Ithical]

i know of 1 guy, rocking the cobra knock-offs 17x10 +25. He has PBM coils with 15mm spacers, I don't know if he needs them or if its for fitment but yea. It was posted around page 290 or so

i run 18-10.5 +15 all around i need 7mm to clear coils in the front the back your fine and u might need a very small slip on in the front but i dont think so it also depends on coils

[Houseof1817]

[Houseof1817]
