Default August Tech Article Contest

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.

-=PRIZE=-
The prize for this month's contest is your choice of the following:
- A Hotchkis lowering spring kit for your Scion model courtesy of www.hotchkistuning.com
- A Tanabe Strut Tower Bar for your tC or xA/xb courtesy of www.tanabe-usa.com
- An AudioFormz custom cargo panel painted to match your stock color xB courtesy of www.audioformz.com
- An OEM Scion Red Leather xA/xB Steering wheel courtesy of www.scionevolution.com
- An OEM Scion xB-Plus Security System courtesy of www.scionevolution.com
- A set of OEM xA factory fog lights courtesy of www.scionevolution.com
- A one-year Premium Membership to Scion Life with Prize Pack ($200 value)

-=RULES=-
- Article must be helpful and not a "spoof", although humor is always a plus
- Images will be transferred to the SL server as soon as we can for archiving
- You may enter as many times as you wish

-=JUDGING=-
As always I am the sole judge and my decision is final. Live with it.

This contest is sponsored by:

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
