well, .. yes it does... let's see it!

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 23 Feb 2004, 01:17

Yeh, sounds like a great idea - the Sentra is defintely hard to work with. I'm pretty happy with mine tho.

Post by **TheStig** » 23 Feb 2004, 20:59

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 23 Feb 2004, 21:39

that's my Sentra... nothing special but i think it's best i can do. ur Sentra is nice Grez, just not my type of spoiler! Rest is pretty cool.

Abrams · Post by **Abrams** » 23 Feb 2004, 21:56

nice...
all black...
btw pacodog you got GeForce FX 5600 or what?

Post by **TheStig** » 23 Feb 2004, 22:01

NICE Sentra Pecodog... did not know a Sentra could look like that....

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 23 Feb 2004, 22:35

I got ATI Radeon 9500 PRO. Why do you ask Abrams?

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 24 Feb 2004, 00:00

lol paco, thats exactly the same as mine on ps2, even down to the wheels!! lol

Abrams · Post by **Abrams** » 24 Feb 2004, 00:27

pacodog you got awesome graphics you know it?

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 24 Feb 2004, 00:46

Oh, thanks, i like it. It was a good deal last may at 120 bucks, and this card is basically a cut down 9800Pro - which back than was like 300 bucks. So I bought this one, since it supports Dx 9 and above, and can be overclocked to perform as 9800pro.

Grez, buddy, i just for fun made the Sentra vinyl of my very own PACODOG Racing. Nothing flashy, but i won't preview - i upload it to showroom, and hopefully it's up tomorrow... than you'll see.

As the voting slows, the ladders begin to settle down. I've added some ladder movement indicators at the end of each entry so u can see what's been happening...

So yeh, the guest ladder is still shuffling around, but at this stage, the user and entrant ladders are solid, with the only change being strung_out180's eclipse sneaking into equal 6th place alongside DreaminNik in the entrant voting.

Still, it ain't over yet - we need 8 votes apiece alongside each car in the entrant voting list before we'll know the true winner. If your car's in the comp and you ain't voted on eveyone else's - don't forget it's part of the rules to vote all other entrant cars!!

Post by **TheStig** » 24 Feb 2004, 15:09

voted all cars....(exept my own)

looks like 4th place...

think Ill try my luck on the sleeper, dunno how the Raly is looking but do know how Pecodog's sentra is looking... cant compete with that...

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 24 Feb 2004, 15:16

The RallyChallenge is looking superb - all cars are looking great! IMO everyone's in with a chance, there ain't no clangers in the bunch.

With the SentraChallenge, there's only one way to be sure you won't win or place, and that's not to enter at all!! Don't give up, what's it gonna hurt to give it a shot??

And yeh, like Stig hinted ppl, there's a SleeperChallenge down the track - a chance to let the kitwork do the talking!

Post by **TheStig** » 24 Feb 2004, 15:33

I will enter the Sentra Challenge... maybe a second place is still on the line...

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 24 Feb 2004, 15:47

how are you gonna rank a sleeper? The best sleeper is the stock looking family car that has like 400 hp underneath... so that means the best sleeper is the car that's posted stock, more or less... I am not sure it's such a good idea.

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 24 Feb 2004, 16:08

Easy - the ratings are left up to the voters - one ladder for guest, one for users and the most important one - votes only from the entrants. all entrants know the score re the challenge theme, so it's a no brainer. other ladders are purely on merit, mainly thoughout the whole showroom, but sleepers done right usualy rate fairly high anyways

as for ensuring the cars *are* sleepers, that's down to the rules, and they easy too - no vinyls, no decals, maybe limit all other parts to level 2... ur ideas??

Post by **TheStig** » 24 Feb 2004, 16:10

OK that's the challenge.... make a like 2 star car but don't use loads of vinyl and HUGE spoilers and WIDE bodykits or other big stuff... keep it almost stock...

like my babyblue (orig color btw) 206, it has 2 stars but still looks like a normal 206..

rules have to be made yet, but think it will be a challenge..

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 24 Feb 2004, 16:12

Oh yeh I like that - limit the rep to 2 stars max, that should do it. U gotta good brain on you Stigsta!!
