New Featured Ride!, I think it's time.... lol Options

[DSRT-FX]

as the title goes.. maybe its time for a new featured ride! i dont want to hog up being a featured ride. theres alot more 6s out there can take the new place.

no offense but i think i've been on it too long. just want to share the love. thank you coomer for the opportunity -R

[Negative]

Next should be HARDTARGET:
http://www.6gc.net/index.php?action=members&itu=7148
It has got to be the fastest Celica on the site [maybe anywhere]. I want more info and pics about that car. Here is another thread wherre the proposal has already been seconded:
http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=45738

BTW - Dsrt-fx - very nice car man. It's come a long way in a short period of time.

[95CelicaST]

Yeah maybe, but I have always thought the person who gets the featured ride title should be someone who has actively participated on the forums. Someone who has given time to helping others here... And they have to have a sweet Celica. This HARDTARGET guy just joined on the 20th.. 8 days later and you're all singing praise... because its a non-street legal drag car? Come on.

[Jaws4God]

Is there a list of who has already? I know of several i'd like to recommend.

It is featured ride, not featured member.... but I don't really care who gets it

Why? The car speaks for itself and obviously he's had it for a while. Doing all of that with out the help of people on this board all shows he has skills to contribute to this site.

Show me contribution. Not one post by this person yet.

[Sh0gunkid8721]

who cares if he posts here or not. half the people that have been voted for feature ride dont even post here anymore. if a cars worthy of the title, then thats all that matters

Who would you suggest then?

[95CelicaST]

Many people. Batman has a real nice celica and contributes a large amount here. Def also. There are two examples off the top of my head.

[Negative]

Too true. Not gonna argue with that. I still think the new guy should get his 15mins but perhaps not before some of those guys.

I dont support this new guy primarily because people lie on the internet and who knows if this is for real.

Also: Not sure if moderators are allowed to be Featured, so Jeff would be SOL.
*Manny was Featured but I think it was before he was a moderator.

[tomazws]

I don't wanna be an ass, but I'm not comfortable seeing a new member with no post, no respond, no "hi", gets on featured ride that we don't even for sure that it's really his car.

[Fate]

i'm with 95celica on this. featured ride is for those with well done cars + contribute i believe. if you look at all the names of everyone who's had it, all have added to the forum in some way or another-either now or before. this person just joined, not even an introduction thread, and all his pics are from websites. this just leads to no real evidence of it even being his car. i'm not doubting, but there are a lot of people on the internet and people do some things for attention.

just my opinion, not arguing.

EDIT: just seen tom's post-i left the page up ready to comment but that was like an hour ago so it never refreshed haha.

[P5ycho]

just an idea ,
why not we all look through the profiles, select 5 maybe 10 of the best looking and modded rides and then name the owners then perhaps a moderator could pick 5 of the best modded or best looking cars and setup a poll for us members to have a vote.
perhaps the end of voting should be in a weeks time and then the winner of the poll should be ride of the month, and the other rides should follow on a monthly base dependin on how many votes they get...
like i said just an idea...

[Negative]

I like that idea. I don't necessarily think the cars need to be overly modded though. Sometimes just a clean Celica is worthy of note. IDK most of my favorite cars have already been featured.
I also agree that it is entirely possible that the new guy could be fooling us. I retract my earlier statements.

[P5ycho]

I like that idea. I don't necessarily think the cars need to be overly modded though

i thought that would be the most civil way of doin things...
as for mods or no mods, i agree , as long as the car looks real good , it doesnt have to be modded at all....
so come on lads and lasses, post suggestions on which cars we should include in the poll..

[Supersprynt]

I disagree - partly.

I can see unmodded celicas all over; for a car to be Featured I believe it needs to be worthy of going out of my way to look at.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it should be the "driver's own" if that makes any sense.

[celicaST]

i think we should be able to nominate featured rides. for example, it should have a "nominate this ride" under the avatar or in the profile somewhere. everyone could make 5 nominations per month. each month, nominees are tallied, and top 5 get voted on again in poll thread.

Well Super and P5ycho you guys both have very nice cars. Super in particular I like the way your hood [I have that same scoop at my house but I decided not to use it cause you already did - mines from Caldina GT4!] and paintjob look. Malpaso's car has also undergone a couple of interesting changes - SS-III looks change and 7A-FTE upgrade. His car has had my eye for a while now.
What about you three?

Good idea but would probably require quite a bit of Coomer's time and if the Calanders are any indication he just doesn't seem to have any at the moment.

[Supersprynt]

If Coomer decides to Feature me one day thats cool but I wont ever ask for it.

The nominate for FR would be a very cool idea - but yeah Coomer is one busy guy.

[aslearvert]

Another car club that I know of does a "ride of the month". The way they nominate, is a moderator posts up a new topic at a random time that asks for nominations and the first 5 rides to get nominated (by members) are put into a poll topic and then the ride that recieves the most votes is "featured" or "the ride of the month". I dont know if this has already been tried on this site or not, but its just a suggestion. Sorry I just realized I probably couldve put this in the website discussion forum, but since we were all talking about it I just decided to post.

oh sorry to thread jack...

[Fastbird]

Here's a thought; Why not let the guys running the site narrow down the choices for featured ride to 3-5 cars every month, the run something like a week long poll and let the members vote for which one they think gets top honors and the right to be the featured ride?

[97lestyousay]

I would like to see Jeffs car as featured ride, although
there have been no coupes or verts, only HBs to this point.
If that were the case I would say Coomer or Super.

[j0e_p3t]

yes! i thought i was alone in voting coomer.

[HARDTARGET]

Look guys, im not trying to take any body spot on your home page, I was just trying to show some love to some real Celica lovers,

[celicaST]

welcome! awesome car what drivetrain are you using for the rwd?

[Supersprynt]

Coomer already stated he's not ever making himself featured.

And I'm not sure, but I think moderators arent allowed either. But idk on that one.

[Valo666]

I don't wanna be an ass, but I'm not comfortable seeing a new member with no post, no respond, no "hi", gets on featured ride that we don't even for sure that it's really his car.

I agree with Tomazws. There are some people on this site who have been here for years and have had no recgonition for their work or cars. Whos to say a car has to be done to the tits to be a featured car? Why do you need JDM tails or JDM projectors or a 3s swap to be the featured ride?? The featured ride is suppost to be about a person who represents this site/club. Just cuz you got shiny paint and a body kit, or have the first of this or the first of this doesnt mean you deserve to be featured ride. Like me, personaly, ive been quite on this site for 2 years. I make my posts, i do my mods on my car, i have put alot of work into it over the last 2 years and ive only had maybe..3 people from this site give a compliment on it, and i think its mainly because i dont have a 404A or C-one front lip and i dont have JDM tails or any thing majour exterior wise.

I think its time to feature people who dont have their car done to the tits and we should get the people who have worked on their own cars, who have done a good job representing this website, and people who dont just flawnt how they put an excess of $ into their car.

thats just my $0.02

[HARDTARGET]

it has a G-force 2000 transmission and a moroso competition ford style 9 inch rear end with strange axles. Tires on the back are 32x14x15 good year, all the sheet metal and bumpers are all factory no fiberglass what so ever on the car it's one of the heaviest car in its class, it's weight with me in it is 2300 lbs

[Supersprynt]

You dont NEED anything but a car that stands out from the rest. If people are going to start complaining about their cars not being featured just because they've answered soem questions on the website I can guarantee Coomer would rather just delete the F/R altogether.

Honestly, we're not featuring people here. Its not featured people; its featured ride. The more thats done to a car, the more time and work and effort put into a car is what gets it noticed.

I said it before too: F/R is a CAR that deserves a little extra attention for XXX amount of time. I honestly don't have interest in a run of the mill Celica just because John P. Daily contributes to the site.

^ Thats way to much text I wrote for this subjec.

Oh and who flaunts the money they spent?

might be heavier, but i like the fact how you keep it factory. only one person here who i know of with 5sgte ice23q and his build thread. im sure you could give him some pointers. how did you manage 900+hp out of the 2.2l 5s block?

[j0e_p3t]

that's it? 2300 lbs? pretty sweet ride. puts down some awesome numbers. okay back on topic...

sounds a lot like coomer. he's done some great things to his car and this site. too bad he won't accept the award. if he wasn't the admin i think things would be different.

[HARDTARGET]

hardtarget thanks for posting. would you happen to have any build pictures?

wow, it's been a while from when the car was built, I'll do some digging, I'm in the process of building A FWD street beast 6g, I'll post some pics in a few days on that one.

I agree with this 100%. I would someday like to see my car be worthy
of the honor, but I have a long way to go still. The rides featured are standouts
in all areas. (engine, suspension, interior, and exterior)

[tomazws]

Hey HARDTARGET, I second more pics on your car!

[Defgeph]

Well this is a touchy subject.

So many different aspects come into play when choosing a featured ride. From the exterior to the interior.
The types of pictures you take of your car. To the way you carry yourself on the boards.
Last one not so much, but it helps to be nice to other members.

Speaking for myself, when we start to choose a new ride. I look for cars that are "Clean". What I mean by clean is, no mismatching body kits, body lines are nice and tight, cleanliness of the work, and the amount of work done to a car. These are just a few examples. Remember the featured ride would be representing this site, so it has to stand out.

Don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying I only choose cars with 10k plus put into them. A few times I've brought up cars that only have rims and a drop. Other times I choose cars with a kit. The reason why I'd choose these cars was the way they showed up in a picture. If the car is clean, and I believe it can represent this site well in its pictures, then thats the one I choose.

Any member is eligible for featured ride. From New members, to the managment.
One tip I can give you. In your profiles you are able to upload four pictures of your car, use all four. I hate seeing only one picture, also make sure they are clear.


Good luck

I stand corrected!! maybe i am the first in the U.S.! LOL

oh sorry to thread jack...

Piro - I have two of these scoops in my garage. One from a Caldina GT4 and one from a Levin SC [belongs to o0black0o but I doubt he would care which one he gets]. If you want one PM me.

I really don't want to be limited by my camera's ability to take pictures though. I think my car is very clean but I need to take some pictures of it with my new work camera. I just don't want my multi-thousand $ car to be limited by a few hundred $ camera.

[CilverSeliST205]

if anyone cares...
i nominate:

kadet
malpaso
def
coomer

lets hear some more suggestions

[nik]

one day i'll throw my hat in the ring

[DSToyo]

ive allways liked C3L1CA, celiracer, batman (he helps out a lot on the forums too) and coomer (but i take it he won't put himself on) there are way to many nice cars here its hard to choose a lot of people i think could deserve it

This post has been edited by DSToyo: Mar 2, 2007 - 10:31 PM

[DSRT-FX]

C3L1CA
CelicaZR - but i think he has a few more things to do.. before he wants to be up

either way i think both of these rides will be on the featured ride in the future anyway goodluck -R

[celiracer]

There really are a lot of nice celica's on this site. I some day would love to become featured ride. But I know that there are many nicer celica's then mine. I just can't even decide who i'd nominate.

[Slick]

^^Well, i would definately nominate yours! You've done so much to it in such a short time. Your celi has had a clean look both before and after your mods.

thats a good list. however some of the guys on there have nice cars, but not enough pics to show them off in their profile.

did anyone ask coomer if he is even planning on changing the featured ride?

[celica3sgte]

That's true I know Coomer wants the Featured Ride to have scenic photos.

[pandakid]

maybe a poll would be a good idea of that list

[celiracer]

Yea I think we need to get a poll going. I mean i have some scenic photo's on my profile. But i also have to high rez pics that i've been waiting for the approval on. And also everyone else on that list have some very nice rides.
