Another late entry here folks - unfortunately there's no space left in the comp, but the least we can do is post her up here! Cheers Sykotic!!

Some ppl wanted a front look of my sentra. Here's a couple of ingame pics:

Ohh - now I want to up my vote!! Sure looks great in game bobyx!!

Post by **Bojan** » 04 Mar 2004, 13:28

Heh I made the pic I sent you way too quick. It's really the presentation that's important! And every car looks totally different in the game with details to max than in the garage.

>>> NOW HEAR THIS!!! RATINGS RULE CHANGE!!! <<<

In light of the fact that quite a few entrants in previous comps didn't vote all other cars, the rules are now changed such that a non-vote will automatically rate a 10 for that car!!!

This means that if you're entered in the comp and do not vote for another entrant's car, I will count it as if you had given it a 10.

If you want your votes to count, get in there and do it yourself!!

that sounds... fair.

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 04 Mar 2004, 16:37

Well kinda - it's all about ensuring we actually get the real votes. Reduces the chances for manipulation by abstinence, if you catch my drift..

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 04 Mar 2004, 16:49

hey, how about starting a new thread on SleepChallenge and it's rules? I mean we could shape them up there... Like I would want to limit the car choices, may be all Euro Cars or something... or the level of paint allowed to use or whatever... what do you think?

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 04 Mar 2004, 16:56

Yup - we need to get into this, getting a bit slack lately. What are your thoughts on the Sleeper? I hadn't thought about limiting car choices, not sure whether that important, but i am think of limiting the overall rep to two stars, and/or limiting some or all parts etc to level 1. Your thoughts mate?

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 04 Mar 2004, 17:15

i like to keep it Euro car only... so it's Golf, Fucus, Pug... Wait, that's Euro ChALLENGE!

well, I'd suggest this: make a thread called BEYOND Sentra Challenge, and make new options - we'll vote again, if it's Sleeper, or something else...

No matter what cars are chosen for sleeper, limiting the rep to 2 stars sounds good.

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 04 Mar 2004, 17:26

Mm, I'm happy with the poll result from the Beyond RallyChallenge!! topic, which put SleeperChallenge firmly next. I'm just toying around with a Neon, testing the ideas in my last post - I tell you wat it's very tough to get anywhere near three stars with only level one parts - so I'm thinking that maybe all we need to do rep-wise is limit it to two stars max.

But what about the ricey stuff? Do we say no vinyls and decals, or do you think they can have their place on a sleeper. Maybe we say sth like you must use stock hood, no scoop and stock spoiler, no vinyls, no decals, under three stars... anything else goes.

Oh yeh = of course performance must be maxxed!!

i'm glad the front does justice to the rest of the car bobyx.

Sp3aK · Post by **Sp3aK** » 04 Mar 2004, 19:10

Yeah GT3 I think those are great rules. I like the idea of a Euro challenge as well but it should be after the Sleeper Challenge. No decals/vinyl, no scoops-hoods-spoiler, and nothing higher than level 3 sounds good to me.

Guess I'll start toying around with different cars. Which reminds me, any car should be allowed for this challenge. If you limit it to a certain few cars, since this is a sleep challenge, the possibilities of having duplicate cars is defnately increased.

Sp3aK · Post by **Sp3aK** » 04 Mar 2004, 19:18

Quick question... Are we required to guest vote too? I was thinking that entrants just do registereed votes, but who knows.

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 04 Mar 2004, 19:24

Yep, like your ideas there Speak. Rules will go up within the hour. You're not required to guest vote, but you're welcome to if you wish. Since there's no way of verifying this it would be a silly rule...

Post by **TheStig** » 04 Mar 2004, 19:33

BTW don't want to bother... but the Focus in the Game is a US version...
Euro version has other headlights...

Sp3aK · Post by **Sp3aK** » 04 Mar 2004, 19:42

Whatcha talkin bout stig? I'm in the US, this is an screenie of the focus I have...

Post by **TheStig** » 04 Mar 2004, 19:51

compare it with the versions I showed...

IT's a US....

read paco's post..

he liked to have a Euro car shallenge...

and the focus in the game is a US version....

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 04 Mar 2004, 21:13

the headlights are only different because of the models, you could still enter a focus into a euro challenge, although it is technically american

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 04 Mar 2004, 22:21

Technically it's american, but I still consider it European, since Ford has long been in Europe and it's cars are very popular, esp. in GB (am I right Grez?).

May be we could call it a HOT HATCH CHALLENGE? Yeah, that's muuuuch better. What do you think guys? HOT HATCH CHALLENGE? I mean magazines often do this comparison of Hot Hatches, and I think it could work pretty good... So that will leave the Focus, Pug and GTI... which is where i started from!

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 05 Mar 2004, 00:38

Good idea! We'll make a poll soon...

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 05 Mar 2004, 01:35

Do we need one lol? Who objects! Hot hatch should be liked by many ppl here!

Ah... alright than, let's do the vote.

Outta the blocks, it's looking good for Paco again. There are plenty of contenders, and the best part of a week's voting left.

Remember the rule change - any entrant who hasn't voted on a car is now recording an automatic 10 vote for User and Entrant voting. Note that this does not work for your own car, however. Get in there and make your votes count!!

Cheers, GT

Yeah so due to popular demand, alot of ppl were commenting on how my sentra didnt have a good color combo, so I went and changed it and put it in my showroom. I also changed the manufacturer vinyl... comments?
