everyone posted their oppinoins and i tried to make it so it suited everyone. all i wanted was for people to post pics of their cars. i, us, we vote on the best car keeping our oppinion to our selfs. we name winner, and we go on. idc about mods they got or w.e its all about the best looking rx8 not the most modded. even though a modded one could win. but it got more complicated cause people kept posting options which i dont mind trying to workaround them just makes it hard to keep everyone happy.

 

I already tried this a long time ago. Some people forget it already.

It didn't work in short because someone cheated. He had friends sign up and vote for him. That sucked the fun out of it.

For it to work FOR REAL, we need a sub-forum and it needs to be moderated. I volunteered to do this and sent NUMEROUS PM's to mods about setting this up and no ever replied to me.

We also need some sort of "recognition" for the winners- 8Club doesn't have a front page to display them so we need something implemented for the winners, like their picture on the index page.

So I did it myself for three months. it went fine for the first 2 months but the 3rd month it got out of hand.

If we can get a sub-section in the forum setup exclusively for this, and it was moderated, it would work. But that won't happen.

 

this make me sad to call my self a rx8club member... :/

 

I think the voters would need to be invite only. Perhaps someone could somehow allow access to a select few 100 - 200 members who are "enthusiastic" and "Quality Human beings" and "Truly represent the best of the RX8 club". Perhaps a hidden thread, or area for voting?

For example, a hidden tier invisible to regular members, but available to "Proper and mature members" and of course I would choose to believe that this requirement is met by almost all of rx8club members (How's that for a CYA disclaimer?)

Promote quality, and you raise the benchmark!
Human beings.... as groups, over time tend to degenerate from the shining star it once was (Like politicians) - that is, if you let them.

 

That is why i pushed the "judge" idea. But most people dont want it for some other reasons. To me most contests are ruled by a judge, so why not this one too? I for one would rather have ## of judges look at my car and place a vote than random people. Then it would make it more fair, my name isnt out there too much but i do have some plans for my car that gonna be pretty sick from what iv been told. I prob wont post pictures unless its for this type of events. Im not much of a picture *****.

But whatever if someone else has a better idea go ahead and run it. Im stepping down, too complicated now.

 

These sound like good ideas to me as well......I think having good quality judges who will actually take the time to look at all or most of the cars submitted is better than just seeing who gets the most votes by whoever.....

Should be interesting to see if the works out this time around.

Good luck!!!!

 

That's exactly what I posted.

50,385 forum members and only 55 voted in this poll.

 

You won't post pics of your car unless you have the chance of winning something? Come on, this is an RX-8 community. We are here to share and show off our rides. Why is everyone so worried about being copied (no offense deedubs) or not winning something. Just post pics for the fun of it. We want to see them.

The RX-8 is a fairly rare car, and I think that's the main reason this won't work. There just aren't enough nicely modded cars to make it unpredictable. The thing is, we're a pretty tight knit community, we all know who has the kick *** cars and they already get the recognition here on the forum.

 

No what i mean is ill only post pictures in this sort of events, just posting pictures of car after every mod isnt my thing. Right now i have a turbo build going on and i hardly posted any pictures. im just a shitty photographer lol

 

God forbid that ever happens.

Now let me go get in my RB intake/Borla Exhaust/Royal Purple Oil/Redline Fluids/6 MT/RPF1 wheels/RP SS/Cobb AP/BHR Ignition Kit RX-8 and celebrate the tires I use that I don't think anyone else has while I contemplate ordering my MS body kit and 52mm Prosport gauges.

CONFORM!

huge

 

^^^ I wouldn't list your mods, people gonna copy you!! lol

 

3 pages of just talking about how it wont work because of ............................ How bout we just post some pics because if we dont then it will never happen.

 

^Because that has already been tried and it failed

 

i wanna be included!

 

I think you'll win best MX-5 of the month every month by default. Lucky!

 

well i never won best 8.....closest i think i got was 4th or 5th

 

ok whatever dude i just think the idea is pretty lame. what is the point really?

 

i don't think that will ever happen. even if those were his mods...

some mods just can't be copied...

there are a parts catalog cars, and there are mechanics cars.

they differ, big time!

 

lets just have the cars be judged exterior-wise only.

i mean, who can really see whats hacked up underneath a bumper or stick your part ____ <here.

 

We do this over on RotaryCarClub.com...works very well for us.

 

If you read his mods/parts, you can clearly replicate everything he has. He did not list anything custom or special. Those would be the harder parts to replicate.
