August Contest

OK guys, this month I am going to be adding to our tech article library by giving a prize to the member that creates the best new tech article for the website. It should contain step-by-step instructions with photos. It can be ANYTHING, as long as it doesn't already exist in our library. Check our current tech library here:
www.scionlife.com/tech

You will need to create a new topic somewhere in the forums and then you must EMAIL me the link to your article.

-=RULES=-
- Article must be helpful and not a "spoof", although humor is always a plus

As always I am the sole judge and my decision is final. Live with it. :)

thanks for posting it darren' :P


In case you cant find it at some later time please go to FAQ go to second page should be somewhere in the middle.


:yawn:

Do you think I have a chance even though I'm not running a turbo? LOL

To clarify.... the tech article must be NEW to ScionLife this month.... not an old article you wrote. Although the old ones are much appreciated, they do not qualify you for the prize.

Is there only going to be one prize because there ARE three models, xA, xB and tC so shouldn't there be a prize for each tech article? just curious...

I have something already typed up and ready to post... just gotta wait to get my parts, install, and take pictures! part of my article might be incomplete if all the parts dont come in together. But it will be 100% done by the end of August.

Its kind of a 2 for 1 tech article... bonus points! (keep in mind they are related)

i think 3 winners would be cool just because of the mass difference between tC and xB availability of mods. Maybe xB/xA and a tC. just totally different platforms IMO.

thats up to Darren though and its his call. Im just appreciative that he does any :bow:

*starts to clean out his cubicle*

:rofl: its okay mikochu

at least he didnt try the "its not you, its me" thing before breaking it off :lol: you'll still be the tech guy im sure. dont worry bout it.

Michael, I understand the weather in India is not NEARLY so hot as some say it is... :lol:

I would have to agree. What a pain this has been for a looong time. Thanks Engi :clap:

But Max... you have your very own horse running in this race, don't you? http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=78400 :)

damn, too bad my projector retrofit is not finished yet...are these contests held each month?

We have a different contest every month, but tech articles are ALWAYS needed for our library!

I can't figure out if I just have $0 to do anything or no ideas to actually write about.

Here's mine...It's a hatch rattle fix for the tC

when will you announce the winner?

i personally like the HID retrofit. maximus96, you have my vote.

Engi with his LED center console fix and how to. Big time fix for a mod that remained bad for a year. Mad props for that one :clap:

thanks again :D I think they are all great mods though.. I am sure it will be a tough decision!

What are the odds of choosing one winner per vehicle model?

props to whoever the winner is :bow:

i dont care if its me and thats honesty. Maxs handle is awesome. Engineers lights are sweet. It will be a tough choice. Best of luck to everyone :bow:

Scott

Maxs handle is awesome.

Thanks, but lets not forget about the oven.

Damn, I totally missed this one. I was writing Detailing Tech
articles. I would have polished them off had I known!

Well guys, I can't award to each model... just one winner. It is a sponsor thing.... they are donating these prizes and I can't shoot the whole load at once, ya know?

The winner was a close one.... but ultimately goes to maximus96 for his headlight retrofit. The amount of time and energy that he invested into the project (both doing and documenting) was above almost any other tech article I have seen. Good job!
